Gresham Worldwide Bookings for the Second Quarter of 2023 Exceed $10.2 Million

Strong bookings attributable to orders from marquee Defense and Medical customers

Backlog totaled $28 million as of June 30, 2023

Giga-tronics, Inc. d/b/a Gresham Worldwide (OTCQB: GIGA) (the “Company”), a provider of high-performance purpose-built electronic solutions for mission critical applications in defense, health care, telecommunications, and transportation industries, today announced that its global businesses exceeded $10.2 million in bookings for the quarter ending June 30, 2023.

The Company booked more orders for turnkey electronic solutions, particularly for defense and health care customers, as well as RF component solutions, power electronics and displays. The new work included missile defense technology and RF solutions for global defense contractors as well medical device test solutions for a Fortune 50 global healthcare provider. Continued geopolitical military tensions and post-pandemic business rebounds drove increased demand for the Company’s offerings in Q2 2023. Those factors are expected to generate increasing demand for precision electronics throughout the rest of 2023 and into 2024.

The Company ended the quarter on June 30, 2023, with a backlog of $28 million which paves the way for continued, stable growth. Gresham Worldwide continues to harvest post-merger improvements in operational efficiencies, optimize infrastructure and position itself to scale operations to fulfill the increased demand.
