<p class="has-drop-cap">Coda Octopus Group Inc. (<a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/how-to-invest-in-stocks/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">NASDAQ: CODA</a>), a leader in real-time subsea intelligence technology, recently disclosed its <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/03/18/2847609/0/en/Coda-Octopus-Group-Reports-Fiscal-First-Quarter-2024-Financial-Results.html#:~:text=First%20Quarter%202024%20(FQ2024)%20Financial%20Summary&amp;text=Total%20revenue%20was%20approximately%20%244.5,FQ2023%2C%20a%207.4%25%20decrease." target="_blank" aria-label="fiscal first quarter 2024 results (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">fiscal first quarter 2024 results</a>, revealing a mixed performance amid challenging market conditions.</p>
<p>CODA’s fiscal first quarter of 2024 showcased a revenue tally of approximately $4.5 million, marking a 20.3% downturn from the $5.6 million recorded in the same period last year. <br><br>This decline reflects the broader challenges within the defense and marine sectors, notably impacted by the temporary funding constraints under continuing resolutions and anticipated delays in project revenues. <br><br>Despite these hurdles, the company achieved a gross profit of $3.1 million, benefiting from a gross margin increase of 69.2% from 67.1% in FQ2023, attributed to a more favorable sales mix and reduced commission costs.</p>
<p>Operating income for the quarter stood at $0.6 million, a significant drop from the $1.3 million reported in FQ2023, primarily due to decreased revenues. Net income before taxes decreased by 42.5% to $0.8 million, with after-tax net income falling to $0.6 million from $1.4 million in the previous year. <br><br>This reduction mirrors the operational and financial strains on CODA, albeit partially offset by a strong balance sheet with a cash balance of $25.0 million, slightly up from the previous fiscal year-end.</p>
<h3 id="coda-octopus-group-inc-falls-short-of-expectations-in-fiscal-q1-with-0-06-eps">Coda Octopus Group Inc. Falls Short of Expectations in Fiscal Q1 with $0.06 EPS</h3>
<p>When juxtaposed with market expectations, CODA’s fiscal Q1 2024 performance signals a deviation from anticipated outcomes. Analysts had projected earnings per share (<a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/fundamental-analysis-stocks/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">EPS</a>) of $0.11 and revenue of $6.12 million for the quarter. Instead, CODA reported an EPS of $0.06 on revenues of $4.5 million, underscoring a notable shortfall against both revenue and profit expectations. This variance can be attributed to the delays in project conversions to revenue and the impact of funding limitations on defense programs, which were partially foreseen but still weighed heavily on the company’s financials.</p>
