SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. Reports

2022 Third Quarter and Year-to-date Results

COLUMBUS, Ohio (October 28, 2022) SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. (“SCI”) (SCIA: OTCQB), today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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, commented, “Total revenue of $17.6 million for the first nine months of this year exceeded the 2021 full-year amount. Our financial results for the 2022 year-to-date and third quarter periods reflect solid progress, especially considering the one-time Employee Retention Tax credits and first quarter gain on extinguishment of debt recognized in 2021. We are proactively managing our business in a challenging environment while pursuing exciting growth initiatives.”

Mr. Young continued, “During the 2022 third quarter we installed a new vacuum hot press. This new equipment increases our manufacturing capacity and has already enabled us to develop new products. These achievements enhance our R&D and marketing initiatives which involve active collaboration with our customers to create innovative, value-added solutions.”

Total Revenue

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, total revenue increased 73% to a record $17,648,275 compared to $10,205,528 for the same period last year. Total revenue for the 2022 third quarter increased 12% to $5,816,838 from $5,211,169 a year ago. Higher pricing, primarily attributable to increased raw material costs, higher volume and product mix contributed to the increases in 2022 for both the year-to-date and third quarter periods.

Order backlog was approximately $4.2 million on September 30, 2022, compared to $3.6 million on the same date a year ago. Orders remain solid while customers continue to prefer intra-quarter shipments.

ERC Tax Credit

The Company recorded an Employee Retention Credit (ERC) during each of the first three quarters last year. In the 2021 year-to-date period, recognition of the ERC totaled $560,921 which resulted in lower cost of revenue of $323,038 and lower operating expenses of $237,883. For the three months

ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized an ERC of $153,713, which reduced cost of revenue by $84,763 and operating expenses by $68,950.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased 33% to $3,543,352 for the first nine months of 2022 from $2,667,958 for the same period last year due to record year-to-date revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, gross profit was $1,171,583 compared to $1,302,368 last year. Higher volume and product mix for the 2022 third quarter was offset by increased raw material costs and the 2021 third quarter benefited from the ERC.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses (general and administrative, research and development, and marketing and sales) were $1,727,901 for the 2022 year-to-date period compared to $1,187,353 for the same period last year. The 2022 third quarter operating expenses were $561,868 versus $425,341 a year ago. Excluding the ERC recognized in 2021, operating expenses for the first nine months and third quarter of 2021 were $1,425,236 and $494,291, respectively. Operating expense increases for both periods in 2022 compared to 2021 were primarily attributable to additional staff, higher compensation, professional expenses, increased travel expenses related to in-person customer visits and participation in trade shows.

EBITDA*

EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of $2,112,174 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was flat compared to the same period last year. The Company’s 2022 third quarter EBITDA was $708,717 versus $968,063 the prior year. Lower gross profit and higher operating expenses resulted in lower net income which impacted the 2022 third quarter versus 2021 comparison.

Income Applicable to Common Stock

For the 2022 year-to-date period, income applicable to common stock was $1,491,977 versus $1,424,701 the prior year, an increase of approximately 5%. This was due to higher revenue and gross profit notwithstanding a $325,300 gain on extinguishment of debt and $560,921 attributable to the ERC which benefited the prior year results. Earnings per common share were $0.33 compared to $0.32 for the same period in 2021. For the 2022 third quarter, income applicable to common stock was $442,703, or $0.10 per share, versus $662,644, or $0.15 per share in the prior year. Increased revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was offset by lower gross profit due to higher raw material costs and higher operating expenses compared to a year ago.

Net Cash and Total Debt Outstanding

Cash on hand on September 30, 2022, was a record $5,614,257 compared to $4,140,942 on December 31, 2021, and $3,953,385 on the same date a year ago. The 36% increase since 2021 year-end was primarily due to $2,051,679 from net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of

2022. During the 2022 third quarter, the Company paid $245,000 in cash for the remaining amount due plus installation costs for its new vacuum hot press.

Total debt outstanding was $171,087 on September 30, 2022, versus $243,218 on December 31, 2021, a decrease of approximately 30%. During the first nine months and third quarter of 2022 the Company made principal payments of $72,131 and $24,305, respectively, for finance lease obligations.
