Manny Lakios, President and CEO of CVD Equipment Corporation, commented:

“We are pleased to report strong revenue growth for fiscal 2022, an increase of 57% over the prior fiscal year. Our fourth quarter revenue, while lower than our third quarter of 2022, was 53% higher than our fourth quarter in 2021.”

“During the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2022, we recognized net income of $1.5 million and a net loss of $224,000, respectively. Both periods included the recognition of other income of $1.5 million for an Employee Retention Credit after we completed an analysis that determined the Company was eligible to receive this credit for certain quarters during fiscal 2021. These amounts compared to a net loss of $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and net income of $4.7 million for the full year 2021. Net income for the full fiscal year 2021 included a gain on sale of building of $6.9 million and a gain on forgiveness of a PPP loan of $2.4 million.”

“CVD Equipment Corporation’s primary objective over the past two years has been to bring the company to profitability through a focus on products that serve high growth markets, specifically high-power electronics, EV battery materials / energy storage and aerospace & defense – all of which have the objective of improving energy efficiency.”

“In the high-power electronics market, we saw demand for silicon carbide wafers to support high power electronics for energy storage and transmission/charging resulting in a multi-system order from a US-based, silicon carbide wafer manufacturer. Through December 31, 2022, we have received orders for 30 of our PVT150 physical vapor transport systems from this customer, which uses our systems to grow silicon carbide crystals that are made into 150mm silicon carbide wafers. During the second half of 2022, we initiated the marketing launch of the PVT150 on our website and at a leading trade show. We plan to increase our marketing efforts for the PVT product line as well as expand our product offerings to manufacturers of silicon carbide wafers.”

“In battery materials and energy storage market, we experienced increased interest and demand for nanotechnology materials including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene and silicon nanowires (Si-NWs) to support the development and manufacturing for battery materials used in electric vehicles. We received two system orders in 2021 to deposit coatings onto powders used in silicon-graphite anodes, including a production system and a second for research and material development. Both systems were completed in 2022.”

“In aerospace & defense, we are a leading manufacturer of chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) and tow-coating systems to manufacture ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials for aerospace gas turbine jet engine applications. CMCs can withstand extreme temperatures and are one-third the weight of nickel alloys. CMCs allow jet engines to run hotter thereby consuming fuel more efficiently and emitting fewer pollutants. While the aerospace industry has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to industry forecasts, the demand for CMCs for jet engines is expected to grow in the future. During 2022, we received an order for a production CVI system to manufacture CMCs for aerospace gas turbine jet engines for approximately $3.7 million. Our customers now include two of the leading manufacturers of aerospace gas turbine engines.”

“Historically, our revenues and orders have fluctuated based on changes in order rate as well as other factors in our manufacturing process that impacts the timing of revenue recognition. Accordingly, orders received from customers and revenue recognized may fluctuate from quarter to quarter. We are committed to stay the course of our strategy to achieve consistent long-term profitability, with a focus on growth and return on investment. We look forward to communicating with you in our upcoming conference call.”
