Specialized electronic manufacturer and designer OSI Systems Inc. announced this week $19.1 million in profit on revenue of $303 million for its second quarter ended Dec. 31, 2018.

The earnings were bolstered by record revenues, as the company’s backlog jumped 20 percent to nearly $1 billion. And it’s forecasting a 6 percent to 9 percent increase in sales that could top out at $1.185 billion in its fiscal 2019 ending June 30.

“With a substantial backlog, we continue to see the company well positioned for the remainder of fiscal 2019,” executive officer Deepak Chopra said in a statement.

OSI’s security division, which provides cargo inspections devices, accounted for the largest revenue source sue to an increase in demand, according to the company.

The Hawthorne-based company announced earlier this month it secured an $11 million contract to build an explosive detection system for an undisclosed European airport. OSI stock jumped more than 10 percent during day trading Friday.
