E-mailCOLUMBUS, OH -- (Marketwired) -- 05/04/17 -- SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. ("SCI") (OTCQB: SCIA), a global supplier and manufacturer of advanced materials for physical vapor deposition thin film applications that works closely with end users and OEMs to develop innovative, customized solutions, today reported its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Dan Rooney, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are encouraged by the recovery in our business during the first three months of 2017 which included strong growth in backlog. Gross profit dollars and gross margin percentage achieved solid increases, while operating expenses were 24% below the same period last year. The decrease in operating expense was principally due to Company cost-savings and efficiency measures implemented during the second half of 2016."
Mr. Rooney added, "SCI's backlog of $1.9 million at March 31, 2017, more than doubled since year-end 2016. This improvement was driven by follow-on orders from both photonics and solar customers. Bookings also remained strong during April 2017."
Revenue
Revenue was $1,371,916 for the first three months of 2017 which was similar to the same period last year. Higher thin film solar revenue during the first quarter of 2017 offset lower sales to photonics customers.
Order backlog increased substantially during the first quarter of 2017 and was more than $1 million higher than at December 31, 2016. The adverse impact of customers' destocking during the second half of 2016 has generally abated, although the Company continues to experience shorter product delivery lead times from its thin film solar and photonics customers.
Gross profit
Gross profit dollars and gross profit margin for the first quarter 2017 increased 30% and 5.7 percentage points, respectively, compared to the same period in 2016. Gross profit increased to $336,985 for the first three months of 2017 from $259,610 a year ago. First quarter of 2017 gross profit margin increased to 24.6% from 18.9% the prior year, benefiting from product mix on flat revenue comparisons year-over-year.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses (general and administrative expense, marketing and sales expense and research and development expense) decreased 24% to $365,939 for the first quarter of 2017 from $478,814 the prior year. This substantial year-over-year decrease was attributable to actions the Company implemented during the fourth quarter of 2016 including restructuring the sales department and additional cost-savings measures particularly involving general and administrative expense.
Loss Applicable to Common Shares
For the first three months of 2017 the loss applicable to common shares was $46,486 or $0.01 per share compared to loss applicable to common shares of $236,927 or $0.06 per share for the same period a year ago. This improvement was attributable to the increase in gross profit dollars and lower operating expenses.
EBITDA
Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EDITDA) increased $193,715 to $87,585 for the first quarter of 2017 compared to a year ago.
Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes non-cash stock based compensation, increased to $134,446 for the first three months of 2017 from adjusted EBITDA of $(52,558) the prior year.
Cash and Total Debt Outstanding
Cash on hand increased 6% during the first three months of 2017 and was $776,881 at quarter-end.
Cash provided by operating activities was $136,170 for the first three months of 2017 compared to cash used in operating activities of $26,365 for the same period a year ago.
The Company's total debt outstanding was approximately $767,000 at March 31, 2017, versus approximately $741,000 at year-end 2016. This increase was attributable to a new $103,000 capital lease obligation for manufacturing equipment, which commenced in the first quarter of 2017.
