Cyanotech Reports Financial Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal 2025

Cyanotech Corporation (OTCQB: CYAN), a world leader in microalgae-based, high-value nutrition and health dietary supplement products, announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, ended June 30, 2024.

Commenting on the first quarter fiscal year 2025 results, Cyanotech’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Matthew K. Custer, said:

“This quarter’s net sales increased 15% as compared to prior year primarily due to increased sales of Astaxanthin in both our bulk and packaged markets. As we continue to expand our product offerings, we were excited to launch our Hawaiian Spirulina® gummies in May to complement the Astaxanthin gummy product.”

“Our growth in sales for the quarter was offset by a lower gross profit. Production has been at a low for the trailing six quarters resulting in higher costs which resulted in this gross profit decline. This strategic production management has allowed us to manage both spending and inventory to mitigate cash outflow. Now we turn our focus to meeting this changing demand with a well-managed increase in supply. We have preliminarily secured the financing to ensure we can meet market demand.”

“We feel positive about the future of our brand and the consumers interest for sustainable, high quality dietary supplements.”

First Quarter Fiscal 2025

Cyanotech reported net sales of $5,898,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $5,146,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of 14.6%. Gross profit was $1,476,000, with gross profit margin of 25.0%, compared to gross profit of $1,532,000, with gross profit margin of 29.8%. Operating loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $1,041,000 compared to operating loss of $1,209,000 in the same period of the prior year. Net loss for the current fiscal quarter was $1,202,000, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $1,369,000, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the same period of the prior year.

Trailing Twelve Months

For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2023, net sales were $23,824,000 compared to $21,607,000, respectively.
