SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. Reports 2023 Third Quarter and Year-to-date Results

COLUMBUS, OH / ACCESSWIRE / October 27, 2023 / SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. ("SCI") (OTCQB:SCIA), today reported financial results for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2023. SCI is a global supplier and manufacturer of advanced materials for physical vapor deposition thin film applications who works closely with end users and OEMs to develop innovative, customized solutions.

Jeremy Young, President, and Chief Executive Officer, said "The Company achieved record revenue for the first nine months and third quarter of 2023. Sales benefited from further implementation of our long-term growth strategy led by increased marketing initiatives and manufacturing efficiencies. The Company is also pursuing market opportunities through research and development projects, including an innovative rotatable precious metal target product. We entered the final quarter of 2023 with a strong order backlog."

Revenue

The Company achieved record revenue for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2023. Year-to-date revenue increased 19% to $20,954,960 compared to $17,648,275 a year ago. For the third quarter of 2023, revenue increased 32% to $7,700,123 from $5,816,838 the prior year. Higher volume was the key factor which contributed to the increases for both periods compared to last year. Raw material costs were lower for the first nine months of 2023 and higher for the 2023 third quarter versus the same periods in 2022.

Order backlog was $6.1 million on September 30, 2023, compared to $4.1 million at 2022 year-end and $4.2 million on the same date last year. Customer order rates have been strong throughout 2023, which include a substantial number of intra-quarter shipments.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased 12% and 18%, respectively, for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a year ago. For the 2023 year-to-date period, gross profit increased to $3,964,870 from $3,543,352 last year. Gross profit for this year's third quarter increased to $1,386,663 from $1,171,583 for the same period in 2022 due to higher revenue and product mix.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses (general and administrative, research and development (R&D), and marketing and sales) increased 17% to $2,015,617 for the 2023 year-to-date period from $1,727,901 last year. This increase was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits, external R&D consulting and expenses related to exhibiting at additional trade shows in 2023.

Operating expenses for the 2023 third quarter increased 20% to $676,454 versus $561,868 in 2022. Higher compensation and benefits, external consulting and travel expenses related to trade shows were key factors that contributed to the year-over-year increase.

Interest (income)/expense, net

Net interest income was $194,143 for the first nine months of 2023 compared to net interest expense of $11,899 last year. For the 2023 third quarter, net interest income increased to $81,252 from $363 a year ago. Both periods in 2023 benefited from the Company's investments of approximately $2,000,000 in marketable securities during the third quarter of 2022 and subsequently higher interest rates.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense increased to $515,233 for the first nine months of 2023 from $311,575 a year ago. The 2023 third quarter income tax expense was $212,677 versus $167,375 for the same period last year. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2023 was 24% compared to 22% for the 2022 calendar year.

Net income

Net income increased 9% and 31%, respectively, for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a year ago. For the 2023 year-to-date period, net income increased to $1,628,163 from $1,491,977 last year. Net income for the 2023 third quarter increased to $578,784 from $442,703 a year ago. Both periods in 2023 benefited from higher revenue and gross profit, partially offset by higher operating and income tax expenses.

Earnings per share for the 2023 year-to-date period were $0.36 compared to $0.33 for the same period last year. The 2023 third quarter earnings per share increased to $0.13 from $0.10 a year ago.

Cash and investments

Cash and cash equivalents were $5,798,613 on September 30, 2023, an increase of 47% since December 31, 2022. The Company also had investments in approximately $2,000,000 of marketable securities on September 30, 2023. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is attributable to net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by investment in the Company's manufacturing footprint and acquisition of production equipment.

Debt outstanding

Total debt outstanding, comprised entirely of current finance lease obligations, was $71,178 on September 30, 2023, representing a decrease of 51% compared to $146,516 at 2022 year-end. There were $75,338 of principal payments during the first nine months of 2023.
