Dear Andrews Investor,
The fiscal year 2022 was another banner year for Andrews. Benefiting
from our high customer awareness and accessibility, as well as low
labor costs from earlier investments in automation, we delivered
revenue of $261 million and earnings per share of $20.31. Resulting
cash from operations was $55.9 million of which we returned $31.8
million to our stockholders to the form of dividends. These results
were achieved through an acute focus on our product differentiation
strategy. Andrews enters 2023 with leadership positions in two
important product segments--high-end and performance products. As
detailed above, these segments generated significant financial results
in 2022, indicated by high level of profits, strong cash generation, and
a healthy balance sheet.
Our innovation focus is all about speeding up the R&D process to
come out with revised products in the performance, size, and high end
segments yearly. We intend to invest more money into TQM in order
to reduce costs, speed up R&D, while maintaining a high degree of
automation. As a shareholder, you can look to Andrews to continue to
roll out revised high end products every year. This pace sets us apart
from our competitors and keeps us on the leading edge of consumer
demand criteria.
We believe we have great opportunities ahead of us. Andrews has
leading products and technologies for growing markets, strong
automated processes, and a commitment to customer needs. We
have sharpened our product focus and are accelerating the pace of
our innovation to expand our company and offerings giving Andrews
great confidence about our future.

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Company Overview
Andrews operates in the electronic sensor manufacturing industry, making sensors for sale and distribution to
other manufacturers. We are in the business-to-business sensor market versus the direct-to-consumer market.
Our sensors are incorporated into products our customers sell to the final consumer. Electronic sensors are found
in everything around us. They are used in cell phones to interpret touch or sound, in radar guns to determine the
speed of cars, and around doors to determine when to open for someone walking through.
Company Strategy
Our goal is to be the leading edge company in the sensor industry via diversification through sharing activities.
What this means for the company going forward, is that we will aim to increase our competitive advantage by
raising differentiation and creating synergy across our business units. In an effort to accomplish this, our business
units will share activities such as marketing, sales force, and manufacturing automation innovation. Through the
use of a shared activities strategy, the firm is better positioned to offer multiple products in differing segments. By
doing so, Andrews creates a diverse offering of products that when packaged together, give the company a
competitive edge over our industry competitors offering products in only one or two market segments.
Business Strategy
Ever since our company began in 2015, our company has built and maintained a strong differentiation strategy.
We gear our products toward a broad target market, with an emphasis on uniqueness as a source for competitive
advantage. Our products are aimed to deliver high customer satisfaction in a constantly evolving market and we
intend to be at the forefront of innovation and thus we price our products to reflect that. It is not our goal to provide
the most affordable product, but rather to provide superior quality products in each market segment. In line with a
strong differentiation strategy, we have held an aggressive stance in sales and marketing, which has allowed
Andrews to become the market share leader in the sensor industry. Operationally we keep our costs minimal
through high levels of automation. By coupling the differentiation strategy and an aggressive sales and marketing
approach, we have made leaps and bounds over the past 8 years in product innovation, sales, market share, and
automation.
Mission
To create and develop electronic products that are on the leading edge of technology. This mission is achieved by
pushing the boundaries of innovation and promoting an undying focus on customer's current and future needs.

Products
The table below lists our current products:
High End
Aubie and Awsum are marketed to the high-end segment of
the industry. These two product offerings allowed the
company to gain an overall segment market share of 37%,
more than any other company in the industry. Unlike the
traditional and low-end segments, the high-end customers
are primarily concerned with their product size, performance,
and age, while least concerned with price. Although one of
our primary goals was to gain market share, we were also
significantly concerned with our customers’ desires. We
listened to their requirements, made adjustments to our
products to align with these requirements, and made these
products easily accessible through our sales force. As a
result, the Aubie and Awsum products are situated at the top
of this market segment in terms of market share and rank as
the top two in the segment.
Traditional
Able and Adam are two products currently offered in the
Traditional market segment. Customers in the traditional
market segment are concerned with the age and price of our
product versus reliability. For the past year we maintained a
23% market share. Adam has been the market share leader
of the two positioned in this segment at 14% (ranked 3
rd
industry wide) and Able has taken 9% of the market share.
Although positioned similarly, Adam had a slight competitive
advantage over Able in this past year due to its recent
revision in performance, size, and age. These attributes
allowed for Adam to maintain a higher market share over
Able, and remain in the top 3 industry-wide for the traditional
segment.
Segment Product Performance Size MTBF
Traditional Able 9.7 10.3 15000
Traditional Adam 10.7 9.3 15000
Low End Acre 4.8 15.2 12500
High End Aubie 16.1 3.9 24500
High End Awsum 15.9 4.1 24500

Performance Alpha 17.4 10.4 27000
Size Agape 9.5 2.7 19000

Low End
Our low-end market product is represented by Acre. Acre dominated the low-end market segment this year with an
outstanding market-share of 18%, leading the segment. Our low-end market segment customers are primarily
concerned with price and age. In an effort to appeal to this market, Acre is offered at the lowest industry price in
the low-end segment ($17.00). With a 100% customer awareness and 90% customer accessibility rating attained
through our sales and marketing strategy, Acre maintained a strong presence in the low-end segment in 2022.
Performance
Aft and Alpha are positioned for the performance segment, and combined currently hold 32% of the total market
share for this segment and were the top two selling products within the segment. The performance customers are
interested in products that are reliable and have an ideal performance and size. To meet customer demands, we
created two nearly identical products with the customer’s size and performance requirements directly on spot at
17.4 and size of 10.4 with the highest desired reliability rating at 27000 MTBF.
Size
The size segment is represented with our Agape product. Size segment customers are interested in a product with
ideal size, as well as performance and age, while least concerned with price. Agape held an 18% market share
along with the #2 and #3 segment-leaders, and this was likely due to a stock-out of this product. Had we
increased production slightly, we may have seen this product jump to the number 1 spot in the size segment.
Percentage of Revenue by Major Operating Segment
Competition
We continue to position ourselves as a leader in the sensor industry, having achieved high market share
throughout the industry, most notably in the high end and performance segments. We introduced multiple products
in industry segments, but we must continue to expand with new products in other segments to continue to thrive.
As our competitors expand into new markets we lose market share, which has been demonstrated over the past
two years in the low and size industry segments. By maintaining two products in our high, performance, and
traditional segments, we have maintained over a 20% market share in each. We plan on investing and introducing
new products in the low and size segments to regain market share to drive future growth.

Selected financial ratios are provided for each period below:
We continue to be very attractive despite the slow in world economies three years ago. Return on equity extends
beyond 30%, exceeding the industry average of 18.2% in 2022. Gross margin has remained steady, achieving
46.1% in 2022, which is above the industry average of 40.5%. We have also maintained high liquidity levels and
higher levels of asset and debt ratios due to the large amount of cash from operations and paying down debt over
the past three years. We believe Andrews will continue to offer great value to the shareholders as we invest in the
future, as evident with the growth in our net profit margin and return on equity over the past several years.

ITEM 4. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Revenue for 2022 grew 4.1% from 2021, largely due to unit sales increasing by 5.9% to 9.8 million units. Revenue
from our Acre product in the low end segment fell 10% due to competitive pricing strategies, but was offset by
growth in our products in the high end and performance segments by 18.0% and 14.2% respectively.
In response to the current business environment and to better utilize resources, management approved several
restructuring actions including reducing capacity in several products.
The cash generation from our business remained strong with cash from operations of $55.9 million. Due to excess
cash, we repaid $27.0 million in debt and our board of directors declared a $15.00 dividend to shareholders.
Looking ahead to 2023 we expect revenues to grow 10% and gross margin to remain flat. We will continue to
invest in TQM strategies that will reduce labor & material costs to improve margins in the long-term.

Results of Operations
Certain consolidated statements of income data as a percentage of revenue for each period were as follows:
Our overall revenue for 2022 increased by $10.2 million, or 4.1%, compared to 2021. Unit sales increased by 5.9%
to 9.8 million units sold. Revenue from our Acre product in the low end segment fell 10% due to competitive pricing
strategies, but was offset by growth in our products in the high end and performance segments by 18.5% and
16.9% respectively.
Our overall gross margin dollars for 2022 increased by $1.3 million, or 1.1%, compared to 2021. The increase was
due to the increase in revenue from more units being sold. To a lesser extent, investments in TQM have
contributed to reduced labor and material costs.
Our overall gross margin percentage decreased to 46.1% in 2022 from 47.4% in 2021. The decrease was primarily
due to the gross margin percentage decrease in our Acre product, where we lowered our price 11% to remain
competitive in the low-end segment.

Performance Segment
The revenue and operating income for each product of the Performance segment for each period were as follows:
Aft
Alpha
The performance segment, which included both the Aft and Alpha products, consistently produced the lowest
margin of all segments due to higher material costs. Revenue and operating income were both below average
compared to all other segments. For the segment, revenue in 2022 grew $6.0 million or 14.2% compared to 2021.
Both Aft and Alpha had similar growth rates, with Alpha growing to $23.7 million in 2022 compared to $20.5 million
in 2021 and Alpha growing to $24.4 million in 2022 compared to $21.5 million in 2021. Operating income continues
to be a low performer compared to our other business segments and this can be attributed to higher material costs,
as well as similar sales and marketing spend as other segments, despite fewer unit sales. Both of our products
lead the segment in market share, but this is a small market.
Low Segment
The revenue and operating income for the Low segment for each period were as follows:
Acre
The low segment, which included the Acre product, was the second highest revenue producer in 2022 for the firm.
Acre continues to have the highest margins of all of the products we offer due to the high degree of automation.
Revenue was $47.5 million in 2022, which decreased by $5.4 million compared to 2021 due to lowering our price
to $17 in 2022, compared to $19 in 2021. We lowered our price in 2022 due to the product being not as well
positioned as our competitors’. The product is set for revision in Q2 2023.

Traditional Segment
The revenue and operating income for each product of the Traditional segment for each period were as follows:
Able
Adam
The traditional segment, which included both the Able and Adam products, continue to be our second leading
segment for revenue. Even though Adam produced higher revenue at $40.9 million in 2022, Able has higher
margins at 53.7% due to the higher degree of automation. We plan on investing in higher automation levels for
Adam in 2023 to increase our operating income. Able had a decrease in revenue by $7.7 million compared to
2021, which is attributed to the longer R&D periods to revise the product. Able will be revised in Q1 2023 and we
expect it to produce sales similar to that of Adam in 2022 and be the industry-segment leader for the year and is
where we expect much of our expected revenue growth for 2023 to occur.
Size Segment
The revenue and operating income for the Size segment for each period were as follows:
Agape
The size segment, which included our Agape product, contributed the least to overall revenue, earning $26.7
million in 2022, a decrease of 1.9% compared to 2021. Despite the decrease in revenue, operating income
increased by $1.1 million compared to 2021 due to less sales and depreciation expense.

High Segment
The revenue and operating income for each product of the High segment for each period were as follows:
Awsum
Aubie
The high segment, which included both the Awsum and Aubie products, continue to be industry-segment leaders,
having generated $35.4 million and $37.4 million of revenue respectively. Margin was below average for the firm
due to the higher material costs, but is competitive for the segment. The high end segment had revenues increase
by $11 .1 million, or 18% compared to 2021. This increase was due equally to both products in the segment.
Awsum and Aubie consistently performed well and generated similar results.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development. R&D spending increased by $0.2 million, or 3.5%, in 2022 compared to 2021. The
increase can be attributed to the investment in our Acre product as it has been 4 years since its last revision. We
continue to invest in all of our other products to be revised on an annual basis to meet customer demands.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing spending decreased by $1.0 million, or 3.7%, in 2022 compared to
2021. The decrease can be attributed to a reduction in sales within our Acre and Agape products as the two
products had reached significant customer accessibility and it was not beneficial to continue spending at levels in
previous years.
General and Administrative. G&A spending decreased by $0.7 million, or 29.4%, in 2022 compared to 2021. The
decrease can be attributed to cost savings from investments in TQM.

Gains (Losses) on Equity Investments and Interest and Other
In response to business conditions where competitors have introduced new products in various business
segments, management approved the reduction in capacity across multiple products. Capacity was reduced for all
products except Adam and Aubie. Gain on the sale of capacity was $6.8 million.
In 2022 we invested $6.5 million in TQM, an increase of $4.3 million compared to 2021. The 188% increase in
TQM was due in large part to the effort of reducing R&D cycle time as we continue to aim for a fully automated
production process. Our goal of being fully automated across all existing products is planned for 2025.
Due to excess cash reserves, management approved to repurchase $27.9 million of long-term debt at a price of
$27 million. The buyback did earn a gain of $0.933 million as most of the bonds purchased were priced at a
discount.
Interest paid in 2022 was $3.5 million, a decrease of $6.5 million compared to 2021. The decrease was due to the
repurchase of $27.9 million of long-term bonds.
Provision for Taxes
Our provision for taxes in 2022 was $23.7 million, an increase of $4.3 million compared to 2021. The increase can
be attributed to increased net income. Our tax rate remained at 35.0%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As a result of repurchasing long-term debt, our debt as a percentage of stockholders’ equity has fallen to 19.8% as
of December 31, 2022, compared to 44.9% as of December 31, 2021.

Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and
liabilities.
For 2022 compared to 2021, the $3.1 million increase in cash provided by operating activities was largely due to
changes in working capital by $5.6 million offset by a reduction in depreciation of $2.4 million.
Changes in assets and liabilities as of December 31
st
2022, compared to December 31
st
2021, can be attributed in
large part to a reduction in inventories by $4.8 million. The reductions in inventories are a result of better-than-
expected sales.
Investing Activities
Investing cash flows consist primarily of capital expenditures and the sale of investments.
The increase in cash used for investing activities in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to selling capacity
across multiple products. Capacities for these products were sold for $25.2 million. The sale of these capacities
was offset by investing $3.4 million in new capacity for the Aubie product in our high end segment.
Financing Activities
Financing cash flows consist primarily of issuance and repurchases of common stock, payment of dividends to
stockholders, and issuance and repayment of long-term debt.
The increase in cash used for financing activities in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to repurchasing
$14.9 million in common stock in 2021.
During the year ended December 31
st
2022, we made repayments of long-term debt totaling $27.0 million. We
have paid a cash dividend in each of the past 5 years. The board of directors declared a cash dividend of $15.00
per common share for 2022, and increase from $10.00 in 2021. Total dividends paid for the year in 2022 were
$31.8 million and increase from $21.2 million in 2021.
Due to a large amount of cash provided by operating activities in each of the past three years, we have made it an
effort to repay long-term debt earlier than our contractual obligations totaling $44.9 million.

ITEM 6. OUTLOOK
Over the past several years, Andrews is in a position where we can make any and all investments we would like
without financial restrictions and we are able to do this because we have substantial cash generated from
operations year over year. We generated this cash by investing early on in automation to reduce labor costs and
drive higher margins. For the future we will use the company’s cash from operations to expand and should not
need to generate cash from taking on additional debt or issuing new stock. This will in turn offset the future price
decreases that are expected in the market to keep margins as high as they are.
Andrews has a two-pronged approach to future innovation and growth. The first includes immediate investment in
a new product in both the low and size segments. This will expand Andrew’s market share in these two product
segments and increase revenues. The second includes a continuation of yearly revisions in the high end segments
(high-end, performance, and size). To stay on the cutting-edge of technology and anticipate consumer needs,
annual revisions are needed in the size, high-end, and performance segments. Because we are highly automated,
the R&D cycle was taking longer and longer for new revisions to come online. In order to shorten that cycle we will
invest in TQM strategies to shorten that R&D cycle time. By investing in TQM, we can also keep investing in
automation as we plan to become fully automated across all products by 2025. These investments will ensure
future high margins and offset the annual decrease in prices.
Due to our focus on innovation, as well as our product strategy above, we estimate revenue growth in 2023 of
10%, while gross margin is expected to remain flat. Overall earnings per share will continue to increase; however,
it will be less than previous years as we forecast a 3-4% increase to an estimated $21.00 per share. We look
forward to becoming the market leader in the size segment and maintaining that position in the high end and
performance segments next year. We are able to make such bold predictions due to strong cash investments, high
margins, and new products coming on board in 2023.

PART III
ITEM 7. LESSONS LEARNED
Over the course of this simulation the Andrews team learned many valuable lessons which will be discussed in the
following paragraphs. One of the primary goals for our team in this simulation was to learn how business strategy
affects actual results, and how adjusting our strategy affected actual results, which we believe, was fully
accomplished in the Capstone Simulation.
In one of our first group meetings, we brainstormed what type of strategy approach to the simulation we should
take. After a lengthy discussion, we were all in agreement that the differentiation strategy seemed like the most
appealing for our team. Ultimately, we wanted to create a business and product that would allow us to become the
market share leader in the industry and appeal to every market segment at the same time. We discussed and
attempted different combinations in the simulation to attempt just that.
Our first go at the “test” rounds proved we needed to alter our attempts made towards our goals because we
ended up with an emergency loan, most importantly focusing on our forecasting techniques and monitoring our
competitors’ actions. After a few alterations to spending and automation, we developed a valuable combination of
automation, sales and marketing, and product innovation. We had to apply the foundation of a differentiation
strategy and put it into “play” within the game. In order to do this, we had to create unique products for each
segment, and take into account our customer requirements at the same time. What was important to the customer
was important in our decisions when making adjustments in research and development. Furthermore, we created
an aggressive and extensive sales and marketing strategy. To accomplish the goal of maximizing shareholder
wealth, we set out to dominate market share, by increasing our sales and marketing campaigns. Because we were
creating products in each segment that met and sometimes exceeded customer demands, with the extensive sales
and marketing campaign, it was a perfect combination.
Keeping products innovative and maintaining an aggressive marketing and sales strategy is, however, expensive.
As a result, we decided early on that we must cut costs for this strategy to work in the long run. To do this, our
team had to determine where cost savings could occur, and we ultimately decided automation was a key
determinant to that success. By automating our products early, we learned our manufacturing costs remained
significantly low in the long-run allowing our differentiation and aggressive sales and marketing strategy to grow.
While this required taking on a large amount of debt in the early rounds, it paid off as our combination of attaining a
large market share with high margins lead us to become a “cash cow.”
It was interesting to see how to implement a differentiation strategy, but more importantly I think it was important
for all members of the team to stick to our strategy despite low returns in the early rounds. Some members of our
team were getting anxious because of the heavy investment early on and being a highly leverage firm with
extremely low returns. Once round three came and our stock price began to climb and the returns increased
significantly, the team was much more at ease and happy to have not abandoned our strategy.
Lastly, one of the most valuable lessons that from this specific project was learning to work in a group of diverse
individuals across geographic regions and bring sometimes differing ideas together to ultimately accomplish
outstanding results we can all be proud of. We believe we have accomplished this goal above and beyond our
initial expectations. It is not always easy, but it is worth it in the end. We sincerely appreciate this opportunity to
work together, especially with geographic distance as a barrier as is a realistic preparation for the real-world.

Andrews Annual Report

  • 1.
  • 2. Dear Andrews Investor, The fiscal year 2022 was another banner year for Andrews. Benefiting from our high customer awareness and accessibility, as well as low labor costs from earlier investments in automation, we delivered revenue of $261 million and earnings per share of $20.31. Resulting cash from operations was $55.9 million of which we returned $31.8 million to our stockholders to the form of dividends. These results were achieved through an acute focus on our product differentiation strategy. Andrews enters 2023 with leadership positions in two important product segments--high-end and performance products. As detailed above, these segments generated significant financial results in 2022, indicated by high level of profits, strong cash generation, and a healthy balance sheet. Our innovation focus is all about speeding up the R&D process to come out with revised products in the performance, size, and high end segments yearly. We intend to invest more money into TQM in order to reduce costs, speed up R&D, while maintaining a high degree of automation. As a shareholder, you can look to Andrews to continue to roll out revised high end products every year. This pace sets us apart from our competitors and keeps us on the leading edge of consumer demand criteria. We believe we have great opportunities ahead of us. Andrews has leading products and technologies for growing markets, strong automated processes, and a commitment to customer needs. We have sharpened our product focus and are accelerating the pace of our innovation to expand our company and offerings giving Andrews great confidence about our future. Paul Crane Chief Executive Officer

  • 4. Table of Contents 1 PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS Company Overview Andrews operates in the electronic sensor manufacturing industry, making sensors for sale and distribution to other manufacturers. We are in the business-to-business sensor market versus the direct-to-consumer market. Our sensors are incorporated into products our customers sell to the final consumer. Electronic sensors are found in everything around us. They are used in cell phones to interpret touch or sound, in radar guns to determine the speed of cars, and around doors to determine when to open for someone walking through. Company Strategy Our goal is to be the leading edge company in the sensor industry via diversification through sharing activities. What this means for the company going forward, is that we will aim to increase our competitive advantage by raising differentiation and creating synergy across our business units. In an effort to accomplish this, our business units will share activities such as marketing, sales force, and manufacturing automation innovation. Through the use of a shared activities strategy, the firm is better positioned to offer multiple products in differing segments. By doing so, Andrews creates a diverse offering of products that when packaged together, give the company a competitive edge over our industry competitors offering products in only one or two market segments. Business Strategy Ever since our company began in 2015, our company has built and maintained a strong differentiation strategy. We gear our products toward a broad target market, with an emphasis on uniqueness as a source for competitive advantage. Our products are aimed to deliver high customer satisfaction in a constantly evolving market and we intend to be at the forefront of innovation and thus we price our products to reflect that. It is not our goal to provide the most affordable product, but rather to provide superior quality products in each market segment. In line with a strong differentiation strategy, we have held an aggressive stance in sales and marketing, which has allowed Andrews to become the market share leader in the sensor industry. Operationally we keep our costs minimal through high levels of automation. By coupling the differentiation strategy and an aggressive sales and marketing approach, we have made leaps and bounds over the past 8 years in product innovation, sales, market share, and automation. Mission To create and develop electronic products that are on the leading edge of technology. This mission is achieved by pushing the boundaries of innovation and promoting an undying focus on customer's current and future needs.
  • 5. Table of Contents 2 Products The table below lists our current products: High End Aubie and Awsum are marketed to the high-end segment of the industry. These two product offerings allowed the company to gain an overall segment market share of 37%, more than any other company in the industry. Unlike the traditional and low-end segments, the high-end customers are primarily concerned with their product size, performance, and age, while least concerned with price. Although one of our primary goals was to gain market share, we were also significantly concerned with our customers’ desires. We listened to their requirements, made adjustments to our products to align with these requirements, and made these products easily accessible through our sales force. As a result, the Aubie and Awsum products are situated at the top of this market segment in terms of market share and rank as the top two in the segment. Traditional Able and Adam are two products currently offered in the Traditional market segment. Customers in the traditional market segment are concerned with the age and price of our product versus reliability. For the past year we maintained a 23% market share. Adam has been the market share leader of the two positioned in this segment at 14% (ranked 3 rd industry wide) and Able has taken 9% of the market share. Although positioned similarly, Adam had a slight competitive advantage over Able in this past year due to its recent revision in performance, size, and age. These attributes allowed for Adam to maintain a higher market share over Able, and remain in the top 3 industry-wide for the traditional segment. Segment Product Performance Size MTBF Traditional Able 9.7 10.3 15000 Traditional Adam 10.7 9.3 15000 Low End Acre 4.8 15.2 12500 High End Aubie 16.1 3.9 24500 High End Awsum 15.9 4.1 24500 Performance Aft 17.4 10.4 27000 Performance Alpha 17.4 10.4 27000 Size Agape 9.5 2.7 19000
  • 6. Table of Contents 3 Low End Our low-end market product is represented by Acre. Acre dominated the low-end market segment this year with an outstanding market-share of 18%, leading the segment. Our low-end market segment customers are primarily concerned with price and age. In an effort to appeal to this market, Acre is offered at the lowest industry price in the low-end segment ($17.00). With a 100% customer awareness and 90% customer accessibility rating attained through our sales and marketing strategy, Acre maintained a strong presence in the low-end segment in 2022. Performance Aft and Alpha are positioned for the performance segment, and combined currently hold 32% of the total market share for this segment and were the top two selling products within the segment. The performance customers are interested in products that are reliable and have an ideal performance and size. To meet customer demands, we created two nearly identical products with the customer’s size and performance requirements directly on spot at 17.4 and size of 10.4 with the highest desired reliability rating at 27000 MTBF. Size The size segment is represented with our Agape product. Size segment customers are interested in a product with ideal size, as well as performance and age, while least concerned with price. Agape held an 18% market share along with the #2 and #3 segment-leaders, and this was likely due to a stock-out of this product. Had we increased production slightly, we may have seen this product jump to the number 1 spot in the size segment. Percentage of Revenue by Major Operating Segment Competition We continue to position ourselves as a leader in the sensor industry, having achieved high market share throughout the industry, most notably in the high end and performance segments. We introduced multiple products in industry segments, but we must continue to expand with new products in other segments to continue to thrive. As our competitors expand into new markets we lose market share, which has been demonstrated over the past two years in the low and size industry segments. By maintaining two products in our high, performance, and traditional segments, we have maintained over a 20% market share in each. We plan on investing and introducing new products in the low and size segments to regain market share to drive future growth.

Return on equity extends beyond 30%, exceeding the industry average of 18.2% in 2022. Gross margin has remained steady, achieving 46.1% in 2022, which is above the industry average of 40.5%. We have also maintained high liquidity levels and higher levels of asset and debt ratios due to the large amount of cash from operations and paying down debt over the past three years. We believe Andrews will continue to offer great value to the shareholders as we invest in the future, as evident with the growth in our net profit margin and return on equity over the past several years.

  • 10. Table of Contents 7 ITEM 4. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Overview Revenue for 2022 grew 4.1% from 2021, largely due to unit sales increasing by 5.9% to 9.8 million units. Revenue from our Acre product in the low end segment fell 10% due to competitive pricing strategies, but was offset by growth in our products in the high end and performance segments by 18.0% and 14.2% respectively. In response to the current business environment and to better utilize resources, management approved several restructuring actions including reducing capacity in several products. The cash generation from our business remained strong with cash from operations of $55.9 million. Due to excess cash, we repaid $27.0 million in debt and our board of directors declared a $15.00 dividend to shareholders. Looking ahead to 2023 we expect revenues to grow 10% and gross margin to remain flat. We will continue to invest in TQM strategies that will reduce labor & material costs to improve margins in the long-term.

  • 11. Table of Contents 8 Results of Operations Certain consolidated statements of income data as a percentage of revenue for each period were as follows: Our overall revenue for 2022 increased by $10.2 million, or 4.1%, compared to 2021. Unit sales increased by 5.9% to 9.8 million units sold. Revenue from our Acre product in the low end segment fell 10% due to competitive pricing strategies, but was offset by growth in our products in the high end and performance segments by 18.5% and 16.9% respectively. Our overall gross margin dollars for 2022 increased by $1.3 million, or 1.1%, compared to 2021. The increase was due to the increase in revenue from more units being sold. To a lesser extent, investments in TQM have contributed to reduced labor and material costs. Our overall gross margin percentage decreased to 46.1% in 2022 from 47.4% in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the gross margin percentage decrease in our Acre product, where we lowered our price 11% to remain competitive in the low-end segment.

  • 12. Table of Contents 9 Performance Segment The revenue and operating income for each product of the Performance segment for each period were as follows: Aft Alpha The performance segment, which included both the Aft and Alpha products, consistently produced the lowest margin of all segments due to higher material costs. Revenue and operating income were both below average compared to all other segments. For the segment, revenue in 2022 grew $6.0 million or 14.2% compared to 2021. Both Aft and Alpha had similar growth rates, with Alpha growing to $23.7 million in 2022 compared to $20.5 million in 2021 and Alpha growing to $24.4 million in 2022 compared to $21.5 million in 2021. Operating income continues to be a low performer compared to our other business segments and this can be attributed to higher material costs, as well as similar sales and marketing spend as other segments, despite fewer unit sales. Both of our products lead the segment in market share, but this is a small market. Low Segment The revenue and operating income for the Low segment for each period were as follows: Acre The low segment, which included the Acre product, was the second highest revenue producer in 2022 for the firm. Acre continues to have the highest margins of all of the products we offer due to the high degree of automation. Revenue was $47.5 million in 2022, which decreased by $5.4 million compared to 2021 due to lowering our price to $17 in 2022, compared to $19 in 2021. We lowered our price in 2022 due to the product being not as well positioned as our competitors’. The product is set for revision in Q2 2023.

  • 13. Table of Contents 10 Traditional Segment The revenue and operating income for each product of the Traditional segment for each period were as follows: Able Adam The traditional segment, which included both the Able and Adam products, continue to be our second leading segment for revenue. Even though Adam produced higher revenue at $40.9 million in 2022, Able has higher margins at 53.7% due to the higher degree of automation. We plan on investing in higher automation levels for Adam in 2023 to increase our operating income. Able had a decrease in revenue by $7.7 million compared to 2021, which is attributed to the longer R&D periods to revise the product. Able will be revised in Q1 2023 and we expect it to produce sales similar to that of Adam in 2022 and be the industry-segment leader for the year and is where we expect much of our expected revenue growth for 2023 to occur. Size Segment The revenue and operating income for the Size segment for each period were as follows: Agape The size segment, which included our Agape product, contributed the least to overall revenue, earning $26.7 million in 2022, a decrease of 1.9% compared to 2021. Despite the decrease in revenue, operating income increased by $1.1 million compared to 2021 due to less sales and depreciation expense. (In Thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Revenue 24,833$ 32,555$ 35,014$ Gross margin 13,324 16,435 17,502 Gross margin percentage 53.7% 50.5% 50.0% Operating income 6,064$ 8,997$ 9,194$ (In Thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Revenue 40,962$ 34,459$ 25,441$ Gross margin 16,497$ 14,421$ 9,493$ Gross margin percentage 40.3% 41.8% 37.3% Operating income 11,065$ 8,154$ 2,837$ (In Thousands) 2022 2021 2020 Revenue 26,723$ 27,238$ 31,989$ Gross margin 11,759 11,851 13,812 Gross margin percentage 44.0% 43.5% 43.2% Operating income 5,643$ 4,535$ 6,386$
  • 14. Table of Contents 11 High Segment The revenue and operating income for each product of the High segment for each period were as follows: Awsum Aubie The high segment, which included both the Awsum and Aubie products, continue to be industry-segment leaders, having generated $35.4 million and $37.4 million of revenue respectively. Margin was below average for the firm due to the higher material costs, but is competitive for the segment. The high end segment had revenues increase by $11 .1 million, or 18% compared to 2021. This increase was due equally to both products in the segment. Awsum and Aubie consistently performed well and generated similar results. Operating Expenses Research and Development. R&D spending increased by $0.2 million, or 3.5%, in 2022 compared to 2021. The increase can be attributed to the investment in our Acre product as it has been 4 years since its last revision. We continue to invest in all of our other products to be revised on an annual basis to meet customer demands. Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing spending decreased by $1.0 million, or 3.7%, in 2022 compared to 2021. The decrease can be attributed to a reduction in sales within our Acre and Agape products as the two products had reached significant customer accessibility and it was not beneficial to continue spending at levels in previous years. General and Administrative. G&A spending decreased by $0.7 million, or 29.4%, in 2022 compared to 2021. The decrease can be attributed to cost savings from investments in TQM.

  • 15. Table of Contents 12 Gains (Losses) on Equity Investments and Interest and Other In response to business conditions where competitors have introduced new products in various business segments, management approved the reduction in capacity across multiple products. Capacity was reduced for all products except Adam and Aubie. Gain on the sale of capacity was $6.8 million. In 2022 we invested $6.5 million in TQM, an increase of $4.3 million compared to 2021. The 188% increase in TQM was due in large part to the effort of reducing R&D cycle time as we continue to aim for a fully automated production process. Our goal of being fully automated across all existing products is planned for 2025. Due to excess cash reserves, management approved to repurchase $27.9 million of long-term debt at a price of $27 million. The buyback did earn a gain of $0.933 million as most of the bonds purchased were priced at a discount. Interest paid in 2022 was $3.5 million, a decrease of $6.5 million compared to 2021. The decrease was due to the repurchase of $27.9 million of long-term bonds. Provision for Taxes Our provision for taxes in 2022 was $23.7 million, an increase of $4.3 million compared to 2021. The increase can be attributed to increased net income. Our tax rate remained at 35.0%. Liquidity and Capital Resources As a result of repurchasing long-term debt, our debt as a percentage of stockholders’ equity has fallen to 19.8% as of December 31, 2022, compared to 44.9% as of December 31, 2021.

  • 16. Table of Contents 13 Cash Flows Operating Activities Cash provided by operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. For 2022 compared to 2021, the $3.1 million increase in cash provided by operating activities was largely due to changes in working capital by $5.6 million offset by a reduction in depreciation of $2.4 million. Changes in assets and liabilities as of December 31 st 2022, compared to December 31 st 2021, can be attributed in large part to a reduction in inventories by $4.8 million. The reductions in inventories are a result of better-than- expected sales. Investing Activities Investing cash flows consist primarily of capital expenditures and the sale of investments. The increase in cash used for investing activities in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to selling capacity across multiple products. Capacities for these products were sold for $25.2 million. The sale of these capacities was offset by investing $3.4 million in new capacity for the Aubie product in our high end segment. Financing Activities Financing cash flows consist primarily of issuance and repurchases of common stock, payment of dividends to stockholders, and issuance and repayment of long-term debt. The increase in cash used for financing activities in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to repurchasing $14.9 million in common stock in 2021. During the year ended December 31 st 2022, we made repayments of long-term debt totaling $27.0 million. We have paid a cash dividend in each of the past 5 years. The board of directors declared a cash dividend of $15.00 per common share for 2022, and increase from $10.00 in 2021. Total dividends paid for the year in 2022 were $31.8 million and increase from $21.2 million in 2021. Due to a large amount of cash provided by operating activities in each of the past three years, we have made it an effort to repay long-term debt earlier than our contractual obligations totaling $44.9 million.

  • 24. Table of Contents 21 ITEM 6. OUTLOOK Over the past several years, Andrews is in a position where we can make any and all investments we would like without financial restrictions and we are able to do this because we have substantial cash generated from operations year over year. We generated this cash by investing early on in automation to reduce labor costs and drive higher margins. For the future we will use the company’s cash from operations to expand and should not need to generate cash from taking on additional debt or issuing new stock. This will in turn offset the future price decreases that are expected in the market to keep margins as high as they are. Andrews has a two-pronged approach to future innovation and growth. The first includes immediate investment in a new product in both the low and size segments. This will expand Andrew’s market share in these two product segments and increase revenues. The second includes a continuation of yearly revisions in the high end segments (high-end, performance, and size). To stay on the cutting-edge of technology and anticipate consumer needs, annual revisions are needed in the size, high-end, and performance segments. Because we are highly automated, the R&D cycle was taking longer and longer for new revisions to come online. In order to shorten that cycle we will invest in TQM strategies to shorten that R&D cycle time. By investing in TQM, we can also keep investing in automation as we plan to become fully automated across all products by 2025. These investments will ensure future high margins and offset the annual decrease in prices. Due to our focus on innovation, as well as our product strategy above, we estimate revenue growth in 2023 of 10%, while gross margin is expected to remain flat. Overall earnings per share will continue to increase; however, it will be less than previous years as we forecast a 3-4% increase to an estimated $21.00 per share. We look forward to becoming the market leader in the size segment and maintaining that position in the high end and performance segments next year. We are able to make such bold predictions due to strong cash investments, high margins, and new products coming on board in 2023.
  • 25. Table of Contents 22 PART III ITEM 7. LESSONS LEARNED Over the course of this simulation the Andrews team learned many valuable lessons which will be discussed in the following paragraphs. One of the primary goals for our team in this simulation was to learn how business strategy affects actual results, and how adjusting our strategy affected actual results, which we believe, was fully accomplished in the Capstone Simulation. In one of our first group meetings, we brainstormed what type of strategy approach to the simulation we should take. After a lengthy discussion, we were all in agreement that the differentiation strategy seemed like the most appealing for our team. Ultimately, we wanted to create a business and product that would allow us to become the market share leader in the industry and appeal to every market segment at the same time. We discussed and attempted different combinations in the simulation to attempt just that. Our first go at the “test” rounds proved we needed to alter our attempts made towards our goals because we ended up with an emergency loan, most importantly focusing on our forecasting techniques and monitoring our competitors’ actions. After a few alterations to spending and automation, we developed a valuable combination of automation, sales and marketing, and product innovation. We had to apply the foundation of a differentiation strategy and put it into “play” within the game. In order to do this, we had to create unique products for each segment, and take into account our customer requirements at the same time. What was important to the customer was important in our decisions when making adjustments in research and development. Furthermore, we created an aggressive and extensive sales and marketing strategy. To accomplish the goal of maximizing shareholder wealth, we set out to dominate market share, by increasing our sales and marketing campaigns. Because we were creating products in each segment that met and sometimes exceeded customer demands, with the extensive sales and marketing campaign, it was a perfect combination. Keeping products innovative and maintaining an aggressive marketing and sales strategy is, however, expensive. As a result, we decided early on that we must cut costs for this strategy to work in the long run. To do this, our team had to determine where cost savings could occur, and we ultimately decided automation was a key determinant to that success. By automating our products early, we learned our manufacturing costs remained significantly low in the long-run allowing our differentiation and aggressive sales and marketing strategy to grow. While this required taking on a large amount of debt in the early rounds, it paid off as our combination of attaining a large market share with high margins lead us to become a “cash cow.” It was interesting to see how to implement a differentiation strategy, but more importantly I think it was important for all members of the team to stick to our strategy despite low returns in the early rounds. Some members of our team were getting anxious because of the heavy investment early on and being a highly leverage firm with extremely low returns. Once round three came and our stock price began to climb and the returns increased significantly, the team was much more at ease and happy to have not abandoned our strategy. Lastly, one of the most valuable lessons that from this specific project was learning to work in a group of diverse individuals across geographic regions and bring sometimes differing ideas together to ultimately accomplish outstanding results we can all be proud of. We believe we have accomplished this goal above and beyond our initial expectations. It is not always easy, but it is worth it in the end. We sincerely appreciate this opportunity to work together, especially with geographic distance as a barrier as is a realistic preparation for the real-world.
