Schmitt Announces Fiscal 2021 Operating Results

PR Newswire

PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Schmitt Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMIT) (the "Company" or "Schmitt") today announced its operating results for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021.

For the year ended May 31, 2021 ("Fiscal 2021"), the Company reported revenue from continuing operations of $7,864,350, an increase of 87.7% from $4,189,924 in Fiscal 2020. The increase in revenue was driven by the Company's new Ice Cream Segment. No revenues for the Ice Cream Segment are included in Fiscal 2020 due to the acquisition occurring subsequent to Fiscal 2020 year end.

Gross margins decreased to 41.6% for Fiscal 2021 from 46.6% in Fiscal 2020. The decrease primarily due to lower gross margins in the newly acquired Ice Cream Segment and increased material costs for the Measurement Segment due to market effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operating expenses for Fiscal 2021 increased to $13,156,893, as compared to $4,130,470 for Fiscal 2020. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of the Ice Cream Segment, which accounted for 71.5% of total operating expenses. Operating expenses also included the impairment of indefinite-lived assets of $903,422 and an increase of professional fees totaling $279,673, or 19.5%, to $1,714,708 in Fiscal 2021 as compared to $1,435,035 in Fiscal 2020.

Net loss from continuing operations was ($8,089,672), or ($2.15) per fully diluted share, for Fiscal 2021 as compared to a net loss of ($1,842,304), or ($0.47) per fully diluted share, for 2020.

The Company finished the year ended May 31, 2021 with $4,032,690 in cash, as compared to $10,146,531 for Fiscal 2020.

Michael Zapata, Chairman and CEO, commented, "Fiscal year 2021 was a year of investments for Schmitt. Through our Ample Hills purchase and subsequent investments in the foundation of the business, to our SMS team focusing on business development and expanding our IoT offerings, our teams have been concentrating on short and long-term objectives we can influence."

"For Ample Hills, the operating loss was in line with our expectations when we purchased the company in July of 2021. We anticipated the cost that would be required to both carry the company through a restrained retail environment while investing in the foundation of the business. We invested $3.1 million in non-recurring cash outflows for Fiscal 2021, including the acquisition of Ample Hills, capital improvements for the Ice Cream segment, ERP implementation costs and stock repurchases. Although we anticipate some continued overhang from the global pandemic, we are pleased with the progress and excited for the continuing growth from the team's efforts."

"For our Measurement Segment, our Portland based team continues to expand our offering bases and invest in our customer's while focusing on business development. While some of our legacy customers have been more impacted through constrained CAPEX, we are seeing some growth in new customers."

"As we look ahead, we are focusing on our cash positions to continue to further invest in our businesses."
