5I RESEARCH ANSWER:
Revenue of $19.6M was $1M ahead of estimates; EPS loss was slightly below. Revenue rose 53% but EBITDA shifted to negative $0.1M from +$1.8M and was below estimates. Backlog rose $22M to $85.5M. Cash is $60M. Revenue guidance was maintained but costs have increased and profit guidance has been retracted, which will disappoint some. Some of the additional costs are Covid-related. The conference call is later today and we will get more info.
