• Gross margin fell to 15% (gross profit $8.0M) and net profit declined to $0.8M, with EBITDA down to $4.5M, driven mainly by a roughly $2.2M adverse impact from USD depreciation and lower production efficiency.
• The two new plating lines—expected to be the main catalyst for higher output and quality—arrived in early 2026 but require assembly, extensive qualification through 2026, and may face further delay due to current tensions in Israel.
• Operational disruptions (production-line reallocation, difficulties recruiting/retaining experienced staff) caused delivery delays, encouraged overseas competition, and left part of the backlog priced at higher historic USD rates, which will depress margins on those orders.
