Operational and Market Expansion
Shahram Askarpour, Chief Executive Officer of ISSC, commented on the company's performance, stating:
"I am pleased to report our fifth consecutive year of both top and bottom-line growth as a result of one of the best quarters in the Companys recent history. The ongoing integration of the Honeywell product lines is proceeding well, and we remain confident that annualized revenues will increase by approximately 40% from pre-acquisition levels once operations have been fully integrated in fiscal 2024."
This integration not only enhances ISSC's product offerings in the Air Transport, Military, and Business Aviation Markets but also opens up new market opportunities through relationships with operators previously beyond the company's reach.
