Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2021 Financial Results By: Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. via Business Wire April 19, 2022 at 16:05 PM EDT Net sales of $39.1 million for the quarter and $138.6 million for the year Net income of $3.0 million for the quarter and $6.1 million for the year Backlog of $39.3 million at January 31, 2022 Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPIH) announced today financial results for the fourth quarter and 2021 fiscal year ended January 31, 2022. "Revenue for the fourth quarter was $39.1 million, $17.8 million above the same quarter last year, and net income of $3.0 million was an increase of $5.5 million compared to the same quarter of 2020. For the year ended January 31, 2022, revenues of $138.6 million were $53.9 million higher than the prior year. The resulting net income of $6.1 million was $13.7 million higher than the prior year," noted President and CEO David Mansfield. "The adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic began to recede in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, resulting in an improvement in business activity and profitability. With rebounding oil prices and the recommencement of paused projects, we experienced profitability improvements in all of our business units. This year's results also benefitted from the Company's ability to continue to operate with a lower overhead cost base that was implemented in response to the downturn during the pandemic. In addition, the business recovery we experienced this year allowed us to resume our focus on implementing the growth plans that were paused in 2020. These initiatives recommenced during 2021 and will be impactful to our future results. "In the past year we also enhanced our liquidity by entering into a sale and leaseback agreement for our land and buildings in Lebanon, Tennessee and by extending our $18 million North American credit agreement for an additional five years. With liquidity provided by these measures, we commenced a share repurchase program in October of last year,” Mr. Mansfield continued. “I am proud of how our employees and Board of Directors responded to the challenges of the last two years. Their dedication and resilience not only helped us weather the pandemic, but also positioned us to respond quickly to the subsequent recovery,” concluded Mr. Mansfield. Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2021 Results Net sales increased 84% to $39.1 million in the fourth quarter from $21.3 million in the prior year quarter. This was a result of increased sales volumes in all business units due largely to recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gross profit increased to 25% of net sales, or $9.7 million in the fourth quarter, from 11% of net sales, or $2.4 million, in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily driven by higher sales volumes without a corresponding increase in fixed plant costs. General and administrative expenses increased to $5.3 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $3.9 million in the prior year quarter. This 35% increase was driven primarily by the increase in headcount as well as incentive compensation associated with the improved financial results in 2021. Selling expenses were relatively consistent from the prior year quarter to the fourth quarter. Net interest expense increased to expense of $0.1 million in the fourth quarter, compared to income of less than $0.1 million in the prior year quarter. This increase is primarily related to the sale and leaseback of the Company's land and buildings in Lebanon, Tennessee in April 2021, whereby a portion of the Company's monthly rent payments are recorded to interest expense. Other income decreased to less than $0.1 million in the fourth quarter from $0.3 million in the prior year quarter. This decrease was primarily the result of income recorded in 2020 for funds received under the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS") and Canadian Emergency Rent Subsidy ("CERS") programs in Canada. The CEWS and CERS grants ceased in the second quarter of 2021. Net income/(loss) increased to income of $3.0 million in the fourth quarter from a loss of ($2.5) million in the prior year quarter. The increase was a result of increased sales volumes in all business units due to recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. 2021 Results Net sales were $138.6 million in fiscal 2021, an increase of $53.9 million, or 64%, from $84.7 million in fiscal 2020. The increase was a result of increased sales volumes in all business units due largely to recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gross profit increased to $32.5 million, or 24% of net sales, in fiscal 2021. This was an increase of $21.4 million, or 191%, from $11.2 million, or 13% of net sales, in fiscal 2020. This increase was primarily driven by higher sales volumes without a corresponding increase in fixed plant costs. In addition, the Company's U.A.E. business benefitted for a full year from the introduction of a high margin new product line in late 2020. General and administrative expenses were $19.9 million in fiscal 2021 compared to $17.2 million in fiscal 2020, an increase of $2.7 million, or 16%. This increase was driven primarily by the increase in headcount as well as incentive compensation associated with the improved financial results in 2021. Selling expenses decreased by $0.8 million, or 15%, from $5.3 million in 2020 to $4.5 million in 2021. This decrease was primarily due to organizational changes during the year. Interest expense increased to $0.8 million in fiscal 2021 from $0.4 million in fiscal 2020. This increase is primarily related to the sale and leaseback of the Company's land and buildings in Lebanon, Tennessee in April 2021, whereby a portion of the Company's monthly rent payments are recorded to interest expense. Other income was $1.1 million in 2021 compared to $4.0 million in 2020, a decrease of $2.9 million. This decrease was primarily the result of income recorded in 2020 for funds received under the Paycheck Protection Program of $3.2 million. Funds received under the CEWS and CERS programs in Canada during 2021 were also less than in 2020, as CEWS and CERS grants ceased in the second quarter of 2021. Income tax expense increased to $2.3 million in fiscal 2021 compared to a benefit of $0.1 million in fiscal 2020. The increase of $2.4 million was largely due to changes in the mix of income and losses in various jurisdictions. The resulting net income of $6.1 million in 2021 was a $13.7 million increase from the net loss of ($7.6) million in 2020. The increase was a result of increased sales volumes in all business units due to recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the Company's U.A.E. business benefitted from the introduction of a new product line in late 2020.

Net sales of $39.1 million for the quarter and $138.6 million for the year Net income of $3.0 million for the quarter and $6.1 million for the year Backlog of $39.3 million at January 31, 2022
Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPIH) announced today financial results for the fourth quarter and 2021 fiscal year ended January 31, 2022. "Revenue for the fourth quarter was $39.1 million, $17.8 million above the same quarter last year, and net income of $3.0 million was an increase of $5.5 million compared to the same quarter of 2020. For the year ended January 31, 2022, revenues of $138.6 million were $53.9 million higher than the prior year. The resulting net income of $6.1 million was $13.7 million higher than the prior year," noted President and CEO David Mansfield. "The adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic began to recede in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, resulting in an improvement in business activity and profitability. With rebounding oil prices and the recommencement of paused projects, we experienced profitability improvements in all of our business units. This year's results also benefitted from the Company's ability to continue to operate with a lower overhead cost base that was implemented in response to the downturn during the pandemic. In addition, the business recovery we experienced this year allowed us to resume our focus on implementing the growth plans that were paused in 2020. These initiatives recommenced during 2021 and will be impactful to our future results. "In the past year we also enhanced our liquidity by entering into a sale and leaseback agreement for our land and buildings in Lebanon, Tennessee and by extending our $18 million North American credit agreement for an additional five years. With liquidity provided by these measures, we commenced a share repurchase program in October of last year,” Mr. Mansfield continued. “I am proud of how our employees and Board of Directors responded to the challenges of the last two years. Their dedication and resilience not only helped us weather the pandemic, but also positioned us to respond quickly to the subsequent recovery,” concluded Mr. Mansfield. Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2021 Results Net sales increased 84% to $39.1 million in the fourth quarter from $21.3 million in the prior year quarter. This was a result of increased sales volumes in all business units due largely to recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gross profit increased to 25% of net sales, or $9.7 million in the fourth quarter, from 11% of net sales, or $2.4 million, in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily driven by higher sales volumes without a corresponding increase in fixed plant costs. General and administrative expenses increased to $5.3 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $3.9 million in the prior year quarter. This 35% increase was driven primarily by the increase in headcount as well as incentive compensation associated with the improved financial results in 2021. Selling expenses were relatively consistent from the prior year quarter to the fourth quarter. Net interest expense increased to expense of $0.1 million in the fourth quarter, compared to income of less than $0.1 million in the prior year quarter. This increase is primarily related to the sale and leaseback of the Company's land and buildings in Lebanon, Tennessee in April 2021, whereby a portion of the Company's monthly rent payments are recorded to interest expense. Other income decreased to less than $0.1 million in the fourth quarter from $0.3 million in the prior year quarter. This decrease was primarily the result of income recorded in 2020 for funds received under the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS") and Canadian Emergency Rent Subsidy ("CERS") programs in Canada. The CEWS and CERS grants ceased in the second quarter of 2021. Net income/(loss) increased to income of $3.0 million in the fourth quarter from a loss of ($2.5) million in the prior year quarter. The increase was a result of increased sales volumes in all business units due to recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. 2021 Results Net sales were $138.6 million in fiscal 2021, an increase of $53.9 million, or 64%, from $84.7 million in fiscal 2020. The increase was a result of increased sales volumes in all business units due largely to recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Gross profit increased to $32.5 million, or 24% of net sales, in fiscal 2021. This was an increase of $21.4 million, or 191%, from $11.2 million, or 13% of net sales, in fiscal 2020. This increase was primarily driven by higher sales volumes without a corresponding increase in fixed plant costs. In addition, the Company's U.A.E. business benefitted for a full year from the introduction of a high margin new product line in late 2020. General and administrative expenses were $19.9 million in fiscal 2021 compared to $17.2 million in fiscal 2020, an increase of $2.7 million, or 16%. This increase was driven primarily by the increase in headcount as well as incentive compensation associated with the improved financial results in 2021. Selling expenses decreased by $0.8 million, or 15%, from $5.3 million in 2020 to $4.5 million in 2021. This decrease was primarily due to organizational changes during the year. Interest expense increased to $0.8 million in fiscal 2021 from $0.4 million in fiscal 2020. This increase is primarily related to the sale and leaseback of the Company's land and buildings in Lebanon, Tennessee in April 2021, whereby a portion of the Company's monthly rent payments are recorded to interest expense. Other income was $1.1 million in 2021 compared to $4.0 million in 2020, a decrease of $2.9 million. This decrease was primarily the result of income recorded in 2020 for funds received under the Paycheck Protection Program of $3.2 million. Funds received under the CEWS and CERS programs in Canada during 2021 were also less than in 2020, as CEWS and CERS grants ceased in the second quarter of 2021. Income tax expense increased to $2.3 million in fiscal 2021 compared to a benefit of $0.1 million in fiscal 2020. The increase of $2.4 million was largely due to changes in the mix of income and losses in various jurisdictions. The resulting net income of $6.1 million in 2021 was a $13.7 million increase from the net loss of ($7.6) million in 2020. The increase was a result of increased sales volumes in all business units due to recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the Company's U.A.E. business benefitted from the introduction of a new product line in late 2020.
