Review of 2018 Financial Results
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Avcorp Group recorded income from operations totaling $26,917,000 from $170,710,000 revenue, as compared to $53,773,000 operating losses from $149,444,000 revenue for the previous year.
It should be noted that 2018 operating income benefited by $13,732,000 income from amortization of an unfavourable contract liability and onerous contracts provision into income (December 31, 2017: $4,545,000 reduction in operating income).
During the third quarter 2018 production of a certain unfavourable contract was modified after the customer stopped issuing purchase orders to the Company and redirected production requirements to another supplier, giving rise to the full amortization of the unfavourable contracts liability and related onerous contract provision into income. This has been recorded in Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) as a contract modification in the amount of $41,470,000.
On August 20, 2018, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with a customer, in the amount of $2,219,000, which provided the Company a net settlement in satisfaction of existing and potential claims, causes of action, and disputes between the Company and its customer. Increased sales and continued consolidation of operating costs have resulted in reduced current year operating losses, in comparison to 2017 after the benefit of amortization to income of unfavourable contracts liability and onerous contracts provisions, and the income impact of a claim settlement and contract modification, have been removed.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, cash flows from operating activities, excluding the impact of changes in non cash working capital, utilized $11,632,000 of cash as compared with utilization of $42,257,000 of cash during the year ended December 31, 2017; a significant improvement, primarily attributable to a reduction in operating losses during 2018 in comparison to 2017.
As at December 31, 2018, the Company had $2,051,000 cash on hand (December 31, 2017: $5,212,000) and had utilized $85,840,000 of its operating line of credit (December 31, 2017: $61,283,000). The Company has a working capital deficit of $71,503,000 as at December 31, 2018 which has increased from the December 31, 2017 $63,038,000 deficit. Working capital surplus/deficit is defined as the difference between current assets and current liabilities. However, the Company's accounts receivable, contract assets, and inventories net of accounts payable, amount to a $22,000,000 surplus as at December 31, 2018 (December 31, 2017: $38,464,000 surplus). The Company's accumulated deficit as at December 31, 2018 is $132,878,000 (December 31, 2017: $157,185,000).
