VirTra reports Q4 EPS 25c vs. 13c last year

Reports Q4 revenue $10.1M vs. $8.6M last year. “2023 was a year of substantial transformation, which culminated in a strong fourth quarter with revenue of $10.1 million – our third double-digit million revenue quarter in 2023. This performance led to record-breaking annual revenue of $38.0 million, representing a 34% increase from 2022,” said VirTra CEO John Givens. “Our success has been the result of strategic changes we’ve implemented across our business, particularly in enhancing our internal operations. Last year, we successfully upgraded our machine shop and consolidated production into a single facility, implemented a new ERP system, and revised our processes for scalability, just to name a few of the operational strides we took. These actions have increased our throughput significantly and improved our book-to-ship ratio, all while reducing production costs and maintaining excellent product quality. We are now shipping orders that we receive within days instead of years, and we have set a solid foundation for future success as demand for our solutions continues to rise. This strategic overhaul was instrumental in effectively working through the substantial backlog we faced entering 2023. With that backlog down to $19.4 million entering 2024, growing bookings and our pipeline will be critical to our growth trajectory going forward. To align more closely with future growth opportunities, we also restructured our sales team, introducing new methodologies, adopting a territory-based approach, and revising our compensation structure. We expect these adjustments to enhance our sales productivity and bolster our customer success functions.”
