SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. Reports 2022 Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Results

COLUMBUS, OH / ACCESSWIRE / February 3, 2023 / SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. ("SCI") (OTCQB:SCIA), today reported financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022. 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, stated, "2022 was an exceptional year for SCI, which included record total revenue, gross profit, and earnings per share. We increased sales volume through our growing portfolio of products and services, benefited from further manufacturing efficiencies, and added customers through focused marketing plans. Our growth strategy also includes research and development investments directed toward the introduction of innovative applications for specific niche markets including aerospace and defense. These initiatives represent positive steps toward achievement of our long-term growth goals."

Mr. Young continued, "We increased our financial strength throughout 2022. Resources were allocated to specific areas of our business to enhance current and future performance. During the past year these actions included the cash purchase of more than $530,000 of manufacturing equipment, approximately $2.0 million of investments in income producing securities, and a 40% reduction in total debt outstanding to less than $150,000 at 2022 year-end."

"Our plans for 2023 include increased sales volume and achievement of additional operating efficiencies. These efforts will benefit our commitment to continuously enhance SCI's performance through those things we can control, while we remain cautiously optimistic regarding issues influencing the global economy."

Total Revenue

Total revenue increased 75% to $23,467,030 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, from $13,448,021 the prior year. The Company's 2022 fourth quarter total revenue was $5,818,755 or 79% above the same period a year ago. The most significant factor contributing to the increases for both periods in 2022 was higher pricing due to raw material costs, followed by positive volume comparisons and favorable product mix.

Order backlog was approximately $4.1million on December 31, 2022, compared to $3.3 million on the same date in 2021. Orders remained solid entering 2023 as customers continue to prefer shorter lead times and intra-quarter shipments.

ERC Tax Credit

During the first nine months of 2021 the Company recorded an Employee Retention Credit (ERC) which totaled $560,921. Recognition of these items contributed to lower cost of revenue of $323,038 and lower operating expenses of $237,883. There was no ERC recorded during the fourth quarter of 2021 and year 2022.

Gross profit

Gross profit for the year 2022 increased 36% to $4,786,955 compared to $3,529,255 the prior year, while gross profit for the 2022 fourth quarter increased 44% to $1,243,603 from $861,297 for the same period a year ago. The positive comparisons for both periods in 2022 benefited from higher total revenue, favorable product mix and improved manufacturing efficiencies.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses (general and administrative, research and development, and marketing and sales) were $2,306,737 for the year 2022 versus $1,751,349 the prior year. The 2021 operating expenses included $238,000 of ERC recorded during the first nine months of the year which reduced the reported amounts. General and administrative expense was higher than a year ago primarily due to increased staff, and additional business liability insurance reflecting the increase in total revenue. Research and development expense for the year 2022 increased due to additional research supplies including specialty materials for custom applications, and related initiatives. The increase in marketing and sales expense for the year 2022 versus 2021 was principally due to travel related to resumption of in-person meetings with customers and participation in additional industry trade shows.

For the 2022 fourth quarter, operating expenses increased approximately 3% to $578,836 from $563,996 for the same period a year ago.

EBITDA*

EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization) increased 15% to $2,894,704 for the full-year 2022 from $2,515,199 for 2021. EBITDA for the 2022 fourth quarter nearly doubled to $782,530 compared to $396,884 a year ago. The increases for the year 2022 and fourth quarter compared to the prior year were attributable to higher pretax income.

Provision for Income Tax Expense

The Company's provision for income tax expense was $542,395 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $392,242 in 2021. For the 2022 fourth quarter, the provision for income tax expense increased to $230,820 from $53,960 for the same period in 2021. The differences between both periods in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily due to the significant increase in total revenue versus the same periods in 2021.

The deferred tax asset decreased from $663,820 at December 31, 2021 to $151,164 at December 31, 2022 primarily due to the utilization of tax net operating loss carryforwards in 2022.

Income Applicable to Common Stock

Income applicable to common stock was a record $1,957,024 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $1,654,672 in 2021. This 18% increase was primarily due to higher revenue and gross profit. The year 2021 results benefited from the ERC of approximately $561,000 recorded during the first nine months of 2021 plus a $325,300 gain on extinguishment of the Company's Payroll Protection Plan loan in the first quarter of 2021. Earnings per common share increased 16% to a record $0.43 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $0.37 for the year 2021.

The 2022 fourth quarter income applicable to common stock increased 102% to $465,047, or $0.10 per share, compared to $229,971, or $0.05 per share the prior year. Increased total revenue and gross profit for the 2022 fourth quarter contributed to the increase.

Cash and Total Debt Outstanding

Cash on hand on December 31, 2022, was $3,947,966 compared to $4,140,942 on the same date a year ago. During the fourth quarter of 2022 the Company purchased $1,989,265 of marketable securities which contributed to interest income of $31,100 for the period. The Company completed the purchase of a new vacuum hot press and other equipment during the second half of 2022 for approximately $536,000 in cash.

Total debt outstanding was $146,516 on December 31, 2022, a decrease of 40% compared to $243,218 on that same date the prior year. During the year 2022 the Company made principal payments of $96,702 related to finance lease obligations.
