Cyanotech Reports Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2016
KAILUA KONA, Hawaii (June 23, 2016) — Cyanotech Corporation (Nasdaq Capital Market: CYAN), a world leader in microalgae-based, high-value nutrition and health products, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2016 and fiscal year 2016.
Fiscal Year 2016
For fiscal year 2016 compared to fiscal year 2015, net sales were $31,840,000 compared to $33,809,000, a decrease of 5.8%. Gross profit was $11,866,000, with gross profit margin of 37.3%, compared to gross profit of $14,466,000 and gross profit margin of 42.8%. Operating loss was ($785,000) compared to operating income of $322,000. Net loss was ($4,395,000) or ($0.79) per diluted share, compared to net loss of ($24,000) or ($0.00) per diluted share. The net loss for the current year included a valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset of $3,564,000 compared to $0 in the prior year.
Commenting on the fiscal 2016 results (changes shown vs. fiscal 2015), Gerry Cysewski, Ph.D., Cyanotech’s Interim President and CEO, noted:
“The net sales decline of 5.8% in fiscal 2016 was driven primarily by a reduction of bulk astaxanthin sales due to lower production from weather-related (El Niño) conditions in the first half of the fiscal year. Sales of our spirulina products grew 2.5%, driven by a 4.4% increase in bulk sales and a 1.3% increase in packaged sales. Our astaxanthin sales decreased 10.2% over the prior year, driven by a 67.1% decrease in bulk sales, offset by a 4.4% increase in packaged sales.
“Both spirulina and astaxanthin are sold in consumer packaged goods distributed primarily in the U.S. and in bulk form for use worldwide. The change in composition of our sales in fiscal 2016 reflects our ongoing strategy to focus on growing the market for higher margin branded consumer products by emphasizing the higher nutritional content of our Hawaiian spirulina and the benefits of our natural astaxanthin over synthetics.
“During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, BioAstin expanded into an additional 53 Costco warehouses in their San Francisco Bay Area region bringing our total Costco distribution to 163 warehouses, or roughly 34% of their domestic total. Further expansion into other Costco regions is planned.
“Our market shares in the natural products channel remain excellent; for the 52 week period ending May 15, 2016 BioAstin commanded a 59% market share for astaxanthin products and Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica commanded a 50% market share for Spirulina products. Both are the #1 selling products in their respective categories.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, we recorded a valuation allowance of $3,564,000 against our deferred tax assets, which contributed significantly to our net loss for the year. While our long-term outlook remains positive, we felt this valuation allowance was appropriate in light of our recent losses.”

Vice President and CFO Jolé Deal commented: “We have made significant improvements in the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures related to revenue recognition. As a result, the material weakness that was identified in the previous fiscal year no longer exists.”
Fourth Quarter 2016
For the fourth quarter 2016 compared to the fourth quarter 2015, net sales were $8,196,000 compared to $8,547,000, a decrease of 4.1%. Gross profit was $2,758,000, with gross profit margin of 33.7%, compared to gross profit of $2,674,000 and gross profit margin of 31.3%. Operating loss was ($747,000) compared to operating loss of ($53,000), and net loss was ($4,054,000) or ($0.73) per diluted share, compared to net loss of ($170,000) or ($0.03) per diluted share.
