COLUMBUS, OH--(Marketwired - Nov 4, 2013) - SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. ("SCI") (
Dan Rooney, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our third quarter results reflect solid performance in SCI's core market which includes key customers in the photonics industry. Third party forecasts indicate the thin film solar market has bottomed out which further supports our belief this will be a strong long-term growth market for SCI. We are proceeding with internally financed investments to develop innovative products for customers in the solar and glass industries and new products for transparent electronics. Recently, there have been encouraging signs from several customers indicating their requirements remain strong through at least early-2014. Our $3.4 million backlog at quarter-end represents a 36% increase versus the same date a year ago and the highest quarter-end backlog in more than three years. SCI's expanding product portfolio is well-positioned to meet the growth needs of our target markets. Near term, we anticipate total revenue will increase for the third consecutive quarter."
Total revenue
Third quarter 2013 total revenue of $1,810,044 was the highest quarterly amount this year. For the same period in 2012, total revenue was $1,982,403. The year-over-year difference was attributable to no third quarter sales to a customer who was acquired earlier this year and the Company's contract research was completed in the second quarter of 2013.
Gross profit
Gross profit was $416,836 for the third quarter 2013 compared to $562,176 a year ago. This decrease was principally due to lower total revenue and change in product mix. As a percentage of total revenue, gross profit was 23.0%, representing the highest quarterly amount in 2013, compared to 28.4% for the third quarter 2012.
Operating expense
Operating expense (marketing and sales, general and administrative, and R&D expenses) was $469,179 for the third quarter 2013 compared to $449,497 the prior year. Higher internally funded research and development expense to develop new products for the solar and glass industries and innovative transparent electronics applications was partially offset by lower marketing and sales expense compared to the third quarter 2012.
(Loss) Income Applicable to Common Stock
There was a loss of $76,322, or $0.02 per share, for the third quarter 2013 versus income of $84,711, or $0.02 per share, for the third quarter 2012.
EBITDA
EBITDA (Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) was $81,754 for the third quarter 2013 versus $258,257 for the same period in 2012. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes non-cash stock based compensation, was $113,110 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, versus $289,673 a year ago.
