CVD Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results

 

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y., (Business Wire) – August 13, 2019 - CVD Equipment Corporation (NASDAQ: CVV), a leading provider of chemical vapor deposition systems and materials, today announced its second quarter 2019 financial results.

 

CVD second quarter 2019 revenue was $4.9 million as compared to $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2018, a decrease of $1.5 million or 23.6%. Net loss for the second quarter was $1.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $1.3 million or $.21 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2018. CVD first half 2019 revenue was $8.4 million as compared to $15.6 million in the first half of 2018, a decrease of $7.2 million or 46.1%. Net loss for the first half of 2019 was $3.6 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $.8 million or $.12 per diluted share in the first half of 2018.

 

 

The Company received orders of approximately $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2019, as compared to approximately $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2019. This resulted in a decrease in order backlog at June 30, 2019 to approximately $4.5 million as compared to approximately $6.0 million at March 31, 2019. The Company’s return to profitability is dependent upon, among other things, the receipt of new equipment orders, the ramp up of the materials business and managing planned capital expenditures and operating expenses.

 

Thomas McNeill, Chief Financial Officer, said “We improved our gross profit margin to 10% in Q2 2019 as compared to (11%) in Q1 2019, the result of improving operating efficiencies as well as increased revenue generating improved contribution margins compared to Q1 2019. Our operating expense cost containment measures this year have resulted in a sequential decrease of $141,000 in our operating expenses during the second quarter and we will see further reductions from those implemented actions in Q3. We believe that the cost containment measures we have been implementing should better align our expenses to order rates, thereby positioning the Company to a return to profitability.”

 

Leonard Rosenbaum, President and Chief Executive Officer, said “The Company’s focus during the 2nd quarter has been on getting our materials facility up and running in the 3rd quarter, moving the MesoScribe™ facility from California to New York, and pursuing additional equipment sales. The Company invested $2.5 million during 2018 in building improvements, machinery, and other expenses related to CVD Materials, and $1.4 million in the first half of 2019. With the operations at our new materials facility starting to come online during the third quarter of 2019, we have been increasing our marketing efforts by showcasing our new facility operations and offering material coating services to new and existing customers. We have completed the move of MesoScribe™ and they will be resuming operations during the 3rd quarter along with bringing the first Tantaline® system on-line. The expanded materials operations will enhance our capabilities in providing i) corrosion resistant coatings through our Tantaline® subsidiary for medical, pharma, oil and gas applications, ii) sensors through our MesoScribe™ subsidiary for defense, aerospace and turbine applications, and iii) through our CVD Materials subsidiary for carbon composite materials, medical coatings, electronic substrate materials and further expansion into other coatings for defense, aerospace, medical, and industrial applications.
