Gresham Worldwide, a BitNile Holdings Subsidiary, Booked New Orders Exceeding $10.2 Million in the Fourth Quarter of 2021
Strong operating performance continues to drive bookings momentum
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$AGH #AmosKohn—BitNile Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: NILE), a diversified holding company (“BitNile” or the “Company”) today announced that its global defense subsidiary, Gresham Worldwide, Inc. (“Gresham Worldwide”), booked orders for new business exceeding $10.2 million in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021, a 36% increase over the $7.5 million in new business booked in Q3 2021.
Gresham Worldwide’s operating companies increased new orders in the fourth quarter as customers made purchasing decisions to meet pent up demand and as a hedge against ongoing supply chain turmoil. Despite continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global defense business remains strong and continues building bookings momentum across the board in all sectors of Gresham Worldwide operations in the U.S., Israel and the U.K.
- United States. Increasing capacity and improved on-time delivery at Microphase Corporation continued to drive Q4 2021 bookings activity to $4.9 million in new orders from prime defense contractors for Microphase’s Radio Frequency (RF) Filter and Detector Log Video Amplifier product lines.
- Israel. The improved financial position at Enertec during Q4 2021 enabled Enertec, based in Israel, to secure more than $3.7 million in orders for new work on electronics solutions for major prime defense contractors and providers of medical solutions.
- United Kingdom. Bookings for power conversion equipment and displays at Gresham Worldwide operating companies in the U.K. exceeded $1.6 million for the quarter. Commercial customers continue to order earlier and in higher volume to drive backlog for RELEC Electronics Ltd into record territory. Defense bookings at Gresham Power Electronics Ltd continued to regain momentum.
Jonathan Read, Gresham Worldwide’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “The fourth quarter of 2021 saw Gresham Worldwide continue to bring in orders which lay a solid foundation for a strong 2022 with significant amounts of work through 2024. Those orders include a mix of legacy business on long life cycle defense platforms as well as new offerings for customers in defense, medical, industrial and transportation sectors. We expect this upward trend in bookings to continue as the global economy begins to move beyond the pandemic and supply chains return to more normal patterns.”
Timothy V. Long, Chief Operating Officer of Gresham Worldwide, added, “Our operating entities have maintained forward momentum despite the headwinds of the pandemic and supply chain turmoil. We made investments in people, infrastructure and retiring debt to strengthen our operations and drive growth in the capacity of Gresham Worldwide to deliver high quality bespoke technology solutions to meet the most demanding requirements. Our customers have responded with more orders while improved performance has attracted new customers as well.”
