RELEASE

Frequency Electronics, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results

● Announces Record $111 Million Funded Backlog, up 34% Sequentially and 59% Annually

● Establishes Three-Year Minimum Gross Margin Target of 50% and Operating Margin Target of 30%

● Reaffirms Three-Year Revenue Target of at Least $150 million, a 34% CAGR

● Establishes Path for Strong Operating Leverage by Front-Loading Investments and Pruning Non-Core Business

Mitchel Field, NY, July 15, 2026 – Frequency Electronics, Inc. (“FEI,” “Frequency,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) (NASDAQ-FEIM) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2026 and provided significant updates to its future profitability profile.

FEI President and CEO, Tom McClelland, commented, “As we have mentioned before, Fiscal 2026 was a year of digestion from a revenue standpoint, as we pulled forward some revenue into last year’s Fiscal 2025. But it was also a critically important year for the future of Frequency as we significantly expanded our funded backlog, giving us excellent visibility into coming growth. Just two quarters ago, we told investors that we believed we could see backlog north of $100 million in the not-too-distant future. Today we are extremely pleased to report that our backlog reached $111 million at the end of our fiscal fourth quarter, up 34% sequentially and 59% over the same period last year. It was because of this continuing expansion of our backlog and order book, as well as the significantly larger end-markets that we are now selling into, all of which are based on technology that leverages our long-standing market leadership in space and defense applications, that we felt confident giving a three-year minimum revenue target of $150 million on April 30, 2026, representing a 34% compound annual growth rate from our Fiscal 2026 revenue. Today we reaffirm our minimum revenue target of $150 million by Fiscal 2029, and, beginning in Fiscal 2027, our current fiscal year, we will begin delivering on this target through revenue growth, starting in our current first quarter.

Future Margin Targets

“In Fiscal 2027, we also intend to begin demonstrating a multi-year path to higher margins. To that end, we are today establishing a minimum gross margin target of 50% and a minimum operating margin target of 30% by Fiscal 2029.

“The path to these higher margins is largely in our control and is a direct result of the significant business shift we are undertaking. On the gross margin side, we anticipate seeing meaningful improvement from two significant levers. The first is the much higher revenue base we are targeting, as we have previously discussed, and which we believe is well supported by our backlog, order book, industry trends and government funding. In addition, due to customer demand, we are moving from a bespoke manufacturer of exquisite products with more episodic production schedules to a high-rate production company making many more units of similar products on a more consistent basis. We believe this higher-rate production model will be more predictable, allow for better overhead absorption and feature less non-recurring engineering costs as a percentage of total business, all of which should drive gross margins to at least 50% by Fiscal 2029.

“In addition, we believe we will demonstrate very strong operating leverage in the business, such that as revenue increases sharply, we should gain meaningful efficiencies on our research and development (“R&D”) and selling and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). Based on the gross margin target outlined above, and those operating expense efficiencies in R&D and SG&A, we believe we will then be able to generate minimum operating margins of 30% by Fiscal 2029.

Investments in Growth, Business Restructuring and Non-Recurring Charges

McClelland further added: “We invested significantly in the business during Fiscal 2026 in order to better prepare the Company for the anticipated strong growth ahead. The majority of this investment was focused on hiring engineering talent in advance of the large ramp-up in production and revenue we are expecting. This had near-term dampening effects on gross margin, as engineering costs flow through the manufacturing overhead portion of our cost of goods sold, raising this expense before the corresponding revenue is generated. A second meaningful investment during Fiscal 2026 was a significant manufacturing efficiency project. This business process improvement investment should allow us to improve turnaround time. The related expenses flowed through overhead and had a similar adverse impact on gross margins. But with increasing orders and strong demand, we think such investments are prudent long-term decisions and will allow the Company to be ready for that business and to super-serve our customers, who increasingly want more work done more quickly.
