CVD Reports First Quarter 2022 Results

CVD Equipment Corporation (NASDAQ: CVV), a leading provider of chemical vapor deposition systems and materials, today announced its first quarter 2022 financial results.

CVD first quarter 2022 revenue was $4.7 million as compared to $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $1.3 million or 38.3%. Net loss for the first quarter of 2022 was $1.0 million, or $.15 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, or $.23 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2021.

CVD’s operating loss improved by $.6 million, to $1.0 million for the first quarter 2022 as compared to an operating loss of $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2021. This improvement was the result of leveraging fixed costs on higher sales levels, which resulted from improved orders towards the end of 2021, as well as product mix, which more than offset certain component costs increases and compensation costs. In addition, general and administrative costs decreased $.4 million, which was primarily related to reduced legal costs and lower building costs as the result of the sale of the Company’s 555 facility in July 2021, and the consolidation of operations into the Company’s 355 facility.

Beginning in Q3 2021 and continuing to date, CVD has been impacted by increased costs on certain manufacturing material components as well as delays in supply chain deliveries. This may also impact CVD’s ability to recognize revenue and result in reduced gross profit margins in future quarters, extended manufacturing lead times and reduced manufacturing efficiencies. CVD has placed orders with increased lead times to attempt to mitigate the manufacturing delays, as well as assessing other material suppliers to mitigate the potential cost impacts. In addition, CVD is utilizing its in-house flexible manufacturing to further mitigate both potential delivery delays and material cost increases.

Thomas McNeill, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said “On March 1, 2022, we satisfied our remaining mortgage of $1.7 million on our 355 South Technology Drive facility and as such have no debt outstanding. The Company’s backlog at March 31, 2022 was $9.9 million as compared to $10.4 million at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $.5 million or 4.8%. This decrease is due to the timing of the receipt of new orders during quarter ended March 31, 2022 of $4.1 million as compared to revenue of $4.7 million. While the negative effect of COVID-19 crisis continues to impact the aerospace industry generally in the form of reduced travel and reduction of gas turbine engine sales, industry reports indicate improvement will begin to occur in the late 2022-2023 timeframe.”

Mr. Lakios added, “2022 has proven to be a year where our strategy of focusing on the markets that support the “electrification of everything” is fueling our future growth. In the first four months of 2022 ending April 30, we have received orders exceeding $11 million for our CVD Equipment products. The orders primarily consist of nineteen (19) CVD/FirstNano systems compared to 23 system orders for all of 2021. Of the nineteen (19) system orders, fourteen (14) are for our recently announced PVT-150 system addressing SiC growth and processing, while the remainder of the system orders are for battery materials R&D and production, advance carbon based capacitors and for a legacy advanced R&D FirstNano product. The systems are planned for shipment over the next several quarters. Additionally, to support the market acceptance of our products, we are taking measures to address lingering supply chain uncertainties caused by both the COVID pandemic and the geopolitical instability in Eastern Europe. The key two initiatives are partnering with key suppliers and expanding our in-house production capabilities. Both are essential to our goal of self-reliance and will support our commitments to our customers.”

“Along with the CVD Board of Directors and all our loyal employees, we are committed to stay the course of our strategy to achieve profitability, with a focus on growth and return on investment. We look forward to communicating with you in our upcoming conference call.”
