FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

 

INRAD OPTICS, INC. ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER AND

NINE MONTH 2014 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

NORTHVALE, NJ, NOVEMBER 20 – Inrad Optics, Inc. (OTCBB: INRD) has reported its consolidated financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

For the third quarter of 2014, revenue was $2.9 million, up 5.7%, compared to $2.8 million for the same period last year. Although positively impacted by the third quarter increase, revenue of $7.0 million was down 17.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $8.5 million in the same period last year.

 

Third quarter sales reflected an improvement in shipments to the defense and process control and metrology markets over the comparable period last year. Despite the improvement in the third quarter, year-to-date sales to customers in the defense market decreased, along with sales in the university and national lab market compared to last year. This was partially offset by an increase in sales to customers in the process control & metrology and laser systems markets in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to 2013.

 

For the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014 the Company booked new orders totaling $3.8 million and $9.2 million, respectively, an increase of 49.4% from $2.5 million and 20.2% from $7.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

 

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2014 was $603,000 or 20.7% of sales up from $550,000 or 20% in the comparable quarter last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, gross profit decreased to $325,000 or 4.6% of sales, including $121,000 of restructuring costs related to the consolidation of the Florida operation in Northvale, NJ, versus $1.6 million or 18.3% last year.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company had a net loss of $91,000 and $1,997,000, respectively. This compares to a loss of $239,000 and $1,056,000 in the comparable period in 2013.

 

The basic and diluted net loss per share was $(0.01) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $(0.02) last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the basic and diluted net loss per share was $(0.16) versus $(0.09) last year.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $(1,171,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $90,000 last year. The difference primarily reflects the increase in the operating loss in the current period.

 

After investing and financing activities, net cash decreased by $1.6 million compared to a decrease of $439,000 last year. At September 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $877,000. 

 

 
 

 

President and CEO Amy Eskilson commented, “Our Q3 results are largely indicative of a disciplined execution of our plan for the period. The Florida consolidation effort is complete, our production is functioning in a more efficient manner, and our ability to book new orders is a result of the hard work done by the entire Inrad Optics team.

 

Third quarter progress is highlighted by improved revenue, backlog and booking numbers. Sales were especially strong over the immediately preceding two quarters, 31% over the second quarter of 2014, and 53% over first quarter results this year. Backlog at the close of the third quarter is quite healthy, nearly $2M higher than it was one year ago, up from $4.6M to $6.5M.

 

Additionally, orders of $3.8M booked in the third quarter represent the highest quarterly booking result in over three years, due in part to a rarely awarded SBIR Phase III contract for $349K from the Department of Homeland Security’s Domestic Nuclear Detection Office to continue our work on the commercialization of stilbene crystals for neutron detection.”
