Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Newsdesk
inTEST announced it will restate its Q3 and first nine months of 2023 financial statements due to revenue deferral issues related to 'last time buys' of discontinued materials. This adjustment is expected to decrease Q3 revenue by $1.7 million and reduce earnings per diluted share from $0.24 to $0.19. The revenue deferral will also slightly impact Q4 2023 results, with revised expectations of $27.9 million in revenue and net earnings of $1.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share.
