SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. Reports 2024 Second Quarter and Year-to-Date Results

COLUMBUS, OH / ACCESSWIRE / August 2, 2024 / SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. ("SCI") (OTCQB:SCIA), today reported financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024

Jeremy Young, President, and Chief Executive Officer stated "The Company achieved record revenue and net income for the first six months of this year. We remain focused on profitability and maintaining a strong balance sheet. During the second quarter and first half of 2024 we continued to implement our strategic growth initiatives through increased marketing activities and new product development. In recent months, the Company has experienced signs of slower economic activity. We are actively monitoring and responding to these conditions."

Revenue

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was a record $13,935,805 compared to $13,254,837 for the same period last year. Volume and pricing were similar for the first half of 2024 compared to 2023. The Company's 2024 second quarter revenue was $5,532,710 versus $7,457,690 a year ago. Order backlog was $2.9 million on June 30, 2024, compared to $4.5 million on the same date last year. Lower raw material cost was the key factor that contributed to the decrease in 2024 second quarter revenue and quarter-end backlog compared to a year ago. Customer orders remained stable throughout the 2024 second quarter.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased 8% to $2,794,055 for the first half of 2024 from $2,578,207 in 2023. For the 2024 second quarter, gross profit increased 10% to $1,378,939 from $1,253,610 for the same period last year. Product mix was the key factor that contributed to the 2024 second quarter increase despite lower revenue.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses (general and administrative, research & development, and marketing and sales) for the first six months of 2024 were $1,590,589 compared to $1,339,163 last year. For the 2024 second quarter operating expenses were $793,741 versus $661,819 for the same period a year ago. The year-over-year increases for the first six months and second quarter of 2024 were primarily attributable to higher compensation and benefits, including increased staff, and higher R&D expenses related to new product development.

Net interest income

Net interest income increased 63% to $183,517 for the first half of 2024 from $112,891 for the same period last year. For the 2024 second quarter, net interest income increased 48% to $96,461 from $63,914 a year ago. Cash and cash equivalents of $6.2 million on June 30, 2024, plus investments of approximately $2.0 million in marketable securities, benefited from higher interest rates during the first six months of 2024.

Income taxes

Income tax expense was $315,153 for the first six months of 2024 compared to $302,556 last year. The effective tax rate was 22.7% for the first half of 2024 versus 22.4% for the same period in 2023. For the 2024 second quarter, income tax expense was $155,153 compared to $144,346 a year ago. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was 22.8% compared to 22.0% in 2023.

Net income

Net income increased to a record $1,071,830 for the first half of 2024, from $1,049,379 a year ago. Earnings per share were $0.24 for the first six months of this year compared to $0.23 per share for the same period in 2023. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, net income increased to $526,506 from $511,359 last year. Earnings per share were $0.12 for the 2024 second quarter versus $0.11 per share a year ago. The year-over-year comparisons for both periods in 2024 benefited from higher gross profit and net interest income partially offset by increased operating expenses.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents were $6,192,476 on June 30, 2024, versus $5,673,994 on December 31, 2023, an increase of 9%. In addition to those amounts, there was $2,008,478 of investments in marketable securities on June 30, 2024, compared to $1,994,478 on December 31, 2023.

Debt outstanding

Total debt outstanding was $8,054 on June 30, 2024, a decrease of 84% since 2023 year-end. The outstanding amount is related to a current finance lease obligation expected to be repaid in full during the second half of 2024.
