The company sees meaningful long-term growth potential at Avcon and Tempe, though project timing may cause quarterly variability.
• Positive Sentiment: Management is pursuing a more scalable aerospace model by leveraging FAA-certified STCs through repeat modifications and kits sold to installation partners, while expanding higher-value mission systems integration and precision manufacturing capabilities under the Butler Machine brand.
• Negative Sentiment: The extended DraftKings sports-wagering agreement provides longer-term stability but includes a lower revenue participation percentage than the prior arrangement. Mobile sports-wagering revenue already declined to $1.1 million from $1.3 million year over year because of a lower hold percentage.
