About BK Technologies
BK Technologies makes the rugged two way radios that firefighters, police officers, and forest rangers count on when every second matters. Most of its customers are government agencies, from federal departments to local fire stations. Its newest radio, the BKR 9000, works across several radio bands, so crews from different agencies can talk to each other in a crisis.
The case for and against
Both sides of the story, in plain English.
- Margin Magic
BK now keeps about 39 cents of every sales dollar after building its radios, up from 32 cents a year ago. Two things drove that. Production got cheaper after BK finished moving it to partner East West Manufacturing this quarter, and more of its sales now come from its newer BKR radios. Profit jumped to 2.4 million dollars, up from just 90 thousand dollars last year.
- Backlog Building
Orders waiting to ship reached 27 million dollars, up from 21.8 million a year ago, and most should ship within six months. The Florida Forest Service just ordered 3.3 million dollars of the new BKR 9000 radio. Management raised its full year profit target to more than 1.65 dollars per share, up from 1.50 dollars.
- Flat Top Line
Quarterly sales were 20.2 million dollars, basically the same as a year ago, and management expects the full year to stay flat too. All of the profit growth is coming from cutting costs, not from selling more radios. Once the factory savings are fully in place, real growth has to come from winning new customers.
- Budget Balancing Act
Most of BK's sales go to federal, state, and local agencies, and the company itself names government budget shortfalls and spending limits as a key risk. With a 27 million dollar backlog, one big agency delaying a purchase can swing a quarter. BK also now relies on an outside manufacturer, so any hiccup at East West lands on its doorstep.
