LightPath Technologies Reports Financial Results for Fiscal 2023 Third Quarter

Facility expansion positions the company to capitalize on new opportunities

ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / May 11, 2023 / LightPath Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:LPTH) ("LightPath," the "Company," or "we"), a leading global, vertically integrated provider of optics, photonics and infrared solutions for the industrial, commercial, defense, telecommunications, and medical industries, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2023 third quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Management Commentary

LightPath's President and Chief Executive Officer Sam Rubin stated, "In January of this year, we were able to raise $10 million in equity funding (before fees and expenses) quickly and cost-effectively, which was a significant success for a company of our size under the market conditions that existed at the time. We intend to use the funds primarily for expansion and to facilitate future growth. As a result of the funding, we expedited the construction of our Orlando, Florida facility expansion, which will serve us well in the long term, although the construction disrupted production and caused some shipment delays during the third quarter."

"With phase one of construction completed at the end of March, we were able to resume normal operations. The completion of phase two in the second half of calendar 2023 is expected to position LightPath to take advantage of the larger opportunities that lie ahead after the qualification of our newer products and materials in various defense and government initiatives."

Fiscal 2023 Third Quarter Highlights:

  • Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 of $7.4 million
  • Total backlog at March 31, 2023 of $26.6 million
  • Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $1.2 million
  • EBITDA* loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $242,000
  • Completed oversubscribed equity raise of $10 million ($9.2 million, net) to fund growth initiatives, expand capabilities and complete facility upgrades
  • Funded remaining expansion construction at our Florida facility to be finished during the second half of calendar year 2023.

2023 Fiscal Third Quarter Financial Results

Revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was approximately $7.4 million, a decrease of approximately $0.9 million, or 11%, as compared to approximately $8.3 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to a decrease in sales of PMO products. Revenue was negatively impacted across all product groups by temporary production disruptions in the Orlando facility during the third quarter of fiscal 2023, which occurred as a result of the facility expansion. Although the project is not yet complete, the remaining phases are expected to be minimally disruptive. Revenue among our product groups for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was as follows:

Infrared ("IR") products

** Numbers may not foot due to rounding

  • Revenue generated by IR products was approximately $3.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, a decrease of approximately $119,000, or 3%, as compared to approximately $3.7 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to timing sales of IR products under a large annual contract, the shipments for which were completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, while shipments under the renewed contract signed in November 2022 began late in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The renewed contract represents a 20% increase over the previous contract. This decrease was partially offset by the sale of the majority of our IR catalog inventory to Edmund Optics, as they will now service this portion of our catalog business.
  • Revenue generated by PMO products was approximately $3.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, a decrease of approximately $0.9 million, or 23%, as compared to approximately $4.0 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in revenue is due to a decrease in sales to customers in the telecommunications industry and a decrease in sales of commercial products, partially offset by increases in sales to defense and industrial customers. PMO product sales to customers in China continue to be soft across all of the industries we serve due to unfavorable economic conditions in that region.
  • Revenue generated by our specialty products was approximately $698,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, an increase of approximately $151,000, or 28%, compared to $547,000 in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase is primarily due to increased demand for collimator assemblies, and increased sales of a custom visible lens assembly to a medical customer, for which we have an end of life order in backlog going into fiscal 2025.

Gross margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was approximately $2.5 million, a decrease of 16%, as compared to approximately $3.0 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Total cost of sales was approximately $4.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to approximately $5.3 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 34% for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to 37% for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the lower revenue level, with less contribution toward fixed manufacturing costs. The mix of revenue by product group for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was also more heavily weighted toward IR products, which typically have lower margins than PMO products. Gross margin of 34% at this low revenue level with a less favorable product mix reflects the benefit of a number of the operational and cost structure improvements that we have been implementing.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") costs were approximately $2.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, an increase of approximately $140,000, or 5%, as compared to approximately $2.6 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in SG&A costs is primarily due to an increase in stock compensation and other personnel-related costs. In addition, we incurred approximately $129,000 related to the exit of our secondary facility in Orlando, for which the lease ended in February 2023. These increases are partially offset by a decrease of approximately $45,000 of expenses associated with the previously disclosed events that occurred at our Chinese subsidiaries, including legal and consulting fees.

Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was approximately $1.2 million, or $0.03 basic and diluted loss per share, compared to $495,000, or $0.02 basic and diluted loss per share, for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase in net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, was primarily attributable to lower revenue and gross margin.

Our EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was a loss of approximately $242,000, compared to earnings of $647,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in EBITDA in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was primarily attributable to lower revenue and gross margin.

2023 Fiscal Year-To-Date Financial Results

Revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was approximately $23.2 million, a decrease of approximately $3.4 million, or 13%, as compared to approximately $26.7 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year, driven by both PMO and IR products. Revenue among our product groups for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was as follows:

Product Group Revenue ($ in millions)**

Year-to-Date Fiscal 2023

Year-to-Date Fiscal 2022

% Change

IR products

$11.3 $13.7 (18%)

PMO products

** Numbers may not foot due to rounding

  • Revenue generated by IR products was approximately $11.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, a decrease of approximately $2.4 million, or 18%, as compared to approximately $13.7 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in revenue is primarily driven by sales of diamond-turned IR products, primarily attributable to customers in the defense and industrial markets, including the timing of sales of IR products under a large annual contract. Shipments under the prior contract were completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, while shipments under the renewed contract signed in November 2022 began late in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The renewed contract represents a 20% increase over the previous contract. Sales of BD6-based molded IR products also decreased, particularly to customers in the China industrial and commercial markets.
  • Revenue generated by PMO products was approximately $10.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, a decrease of approximately $1.4 million, or 12%, as compared to approximately $11.6 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributed to decreases in sales to customers in the telecommunications and commercial industries. PMO product sales to customers in China continue to be soft across all of the industries we serve due to unfavorable economic conditions in that region.
  • Revenue generated by our specialty products was approximately $1.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, an increase of approximately $369,000, or 27%, compared to $1.4 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase is primarily due to increased demand for collimator assemblies, and increased sales of a custom visible lens assembly to a medical customer. The first quarter of fiscal 2023 also included a charge for in-process materials billed to a customer upon order cancellation, during the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Gross margin in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was approximately $8.0 million, a decrease of 11%, as compared to approximately $9.0 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Total cost of sales was approximately $15.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, compared to approximately $17.6 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 34% for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 and for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The lower revenue level for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, resulted in less contribution toward fixed manufacturing costs. The mix of revenue by product group for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was similar to that of the same period of the prior fiscal year. Maintaining a gross margin of 34% at a lower revenue level reflects the benefit of a number of the operational and cost structure improvements that we have been implementing.

SG&A costs were approximately $8.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, a decrease of less than 1%, as compared to approximately $8.4 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in SG&A costs reflects a decrease of $248,000 in value-added tax ("VAT") and related taxes from prior years that were accrued by one of our Chinse subsidiaries in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, as well as a decrease of approximately $526,000 of expenses associated with the previously disclosed events that occurred at our Chinese subsidiaries, including legal and consulting fees incurred during the first nine months of fiscal 2022. These decreases were offset by an increase in stock compensation, partially due to director retirements that occurred during the second quarter, as well as increases in other personnel-related costs. In addition, we incurred approximately $129,000 during the first nine months of fiscal 2023 related to the exit of our secondary facility in Orlando, for which the lease ended in February 2023. SG&A costs for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 also include fees of $53,000 paid to BankUnited under our amended loan agreement for not prepaying the BankUnited term loan by certain dates.

Net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was approximately $3.2 million, or $0.11 basic and diluted loss per share, compared to $2.2 million, or $0.08 basic and diluted loss per share, for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, was primarily attributable to lower revenue and gross margin, partially offset by lower operating expenses.

Our EBITDA for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 was a loss of approximately $427,000, compared to earnings of $1.1 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in EBITDA in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was primarily attributable to lower revenue and gross margin, partially offset by lower operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash used in operations was approximately $921,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, compared to cash provided by operations of approximately $352,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Cash used in operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was largely driven by an increase in inventory, which occurred during the third quarter as production was disrupted by the construction in the Orlando facility. Cash provided by operations in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 reflects a lower net loss than in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, as well as an inventory reduction. These inflows were partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities during such period resulting from the payment of certain other expenses related to previously disclosed events that occurred at our Chinese subsidiaries which were accrued as of June 30, 2021.

Capital expenditures were approximately $2.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, as compared to approximately $1.5 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The first nine months of fiscal 2023 is largely driven by the Orlando facility expansion, whereas the majority of our capital expenditures during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 were related to the continued expansion of our IR coating capacity as well as increasing our lens diamond turning capacity to meet current and forecasted demand. We are in the process of constructing additional tenant improvements in our Orlando facility subject to our continuing lease, of which the landlord has agreed to provide $2.4 million in tenant improvement allowances. The balance of the tenant improvement costs is estimated to be $2.5 million, which we began to fund during the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Through the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we expended $1.2 million toward this project, with the remaining estimated $1.3 million expected to be expended during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was approximately $7.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, including net equity proceeds of $9.2 million from a public offering of Class A common stock, which closed in January 2023, offset by approximately $1.7 million in principal payments on our loans and finance leases.

Sales Backlog

Our total backlog at March 31, 2023 was approximately $26.6 million, an increase of 35%, as compared to $19.7 million as of March 31, 2022. Compared to the end of fiscal 2022, our total backlog increased by 50% during the first nine months of fiscal 2023. The increase in backlog during the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was due to several large customer orders. One such order is a $4 million supply agreement with a long time European customer of precision motion control systems and OEM assemblies. The new supply agreement will go into effect in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2023 and is expected to run for around 12-18 months. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023 we also received the renewal of a large annual contract for infrared products, for an amount 20% greater than the previous renewal. We began to ship against the new contract in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, after shipments against the previous contract were completed. Also during the second quarter of fiscal 2023, we were qualified to provide advanced IR optics for a critical international military program, and received an initial order valued at $2.5 million from the related customer. This order represents a significant increase in this customer's business with us. In addition, we received orders from existing customers in the U.S. and Europe related to several other significant long-term projects.

The timing of multi-year contract renewals is not always consistent and, thus, backlog levels may increase substantially when annual and multi-year orders are received and decrease as shipments are made against these orders. We anticipate that our existing annual and multi-year contracts will be renewed in future quarters.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding financial results, this press release includes references to EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. For a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, see the table provided in this press release.

A "non-GAAP financial measure" is generally defined as a numerical measure of a company's historical or future performance that excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments, so as to be different from the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company's management believes that this non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measure, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. Management also believes that this non-GAAP financial measure enhances the ability of investors to analyze underlying business operations and understand performance. In addition, management may utilize these non-GAAP financial measures as guides in forecasting, budgeting, and planning. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

The Company calculates EBITDA by adjusting net income to exclude net interest expense, income tax expense or benefit, depreciation, and amortization.

To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we provide additional non-GAAP financial measures. Our management believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may or could, have a disproportionally positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. Our management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze our underlying business operations and understand our performance. In addition, our management may utilize these non-GAAP financial measures as guides in forecasting, budgeting, and planning. Any analysis on non-GAAP financial measures should be used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP is presented in the tables below.
