Micron Solutions, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2022 Results

FITCHBURG, Mass., May 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Micron Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: MICR) (the “Company”), a diversified contract manufacturing organization, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Micron Products, Inc., producing innovative, high-tech components requiring precision machining and injection molding, announced its financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded net sales of $4,683,268, compared to $5,761,023 in the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of 18.7%. This decrease is due to reductions in our automotive and defense segment as we continue to strengthen our position in the medical sector, lower one-time tooling and engineering revenues and the continued decline in the level of elective surgeries which impacted some of our orthopedic implant customers as compared to the first quarter of 2021. The net loss for the first quarter of 2022 was ($720,355) compared to a net profit of $114,939 in the first quarter of 2021. Gross margin decreased to 8.5% in the first quarter of 2022, compared to 16.1% in the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2022 was ($391,000) compared to $550 $000 in the first quarter of 2021.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, net sales for the first quarter of 2022 increased 7% from net sales of $4,374,690 reported in the fourth quarter of 2021 due to increased customer activity in our key segments. Gross margin improved 340 basis points from gross margins of 5.1% reported in the fourth quarter of 2021, and adjusted EBITDA improved $126,000 from ($517,000) reported in the fourth quarter of 2021.

CEO Bill Laursen said, “We are encouraged by improved revenue, gross margin and earnings in the first quarter of 2022 which we believe reflects the start of the recovery from the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic. We have made investments to manage supply chain issues, deepen our relationships with our customers, and improve our efficiency and resulting levels of profitability. We are seeing continued strengthening of our sales pipeline with current and new customers. »

THE FINANCIAL TABLES FOLLOW

MICRON SOLUTIONS, INC.
RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED EBITDA ⁽¹⁾
(in thousands of dollars)

⁽¹⁾ Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to presenting net income, a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measure in the United States, this press release contains information on adjusted EBITDA (profit from continuing operations adjusted for income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and certain one-time gains on sale of capital assets), which is a non-GAAP measure. Equity-based compensation includes attendance fees paid through equity versus cash awards as well as non-cash incentives and the gain/loss on sale of fixed assets includes the gain resulting from the transaction of sale-leaseback of our main facility in 2021. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA allows investors to view its performance in a manner similar to the methods used by management and provides additional insight into its results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated by applying GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered a substitute for the GAAP measure of net profit (loss) and, accordingly, should not be used in isolation, but in conjunction with the GAAP measure. Use of any non-GAAP measure may produce results that differ from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies.
