Cyanotech Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter and First Nine Months of Fiscal 2020

 

 

 

KAILUA KONA, Hawaii (February 11, 2020) — Cyanotech Corporation (Nasdaq Capital Market: CYAN), a world leader in microalgae-based, high-value nutrition and health products, announced financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2020, ended December 31, 2019.

 

Third Quarter Fiscal 2020

Cyanotech reported net sales of $7,504,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $10,044,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Gross profit was $2,877,000, with gross profit margin of 38.3%, compared to gross margin of $4,116,000 and gross profit margin of 41.0%. Operating income was $367,000 compared to $495,000. Net income was $171,000 or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to net income of $288,000 or $0.05 per diluted share.

 

Commenting on the third quarter fiscal 2020 results (changes shown vs. the third quarter of fiscal 2019), Cyanotech’s Chief Executive Officer, Gerald R. Cysewski, Ph.D., said:

 

“Though our sales for the third quarter are below last year's unusual level, on a nine-month basis our sales volume and profit margins appear to be normalizing.  With closer attention to costs and business infrastructure, the company has been generating cash and reducing payables.  Absent contrary circumstances, we expect the company to be profitable this fiscal year.”

Providing further detail about the fiscal results, Cyanotech’s Chief Financial Officer, Brian B. Orlopp, added:

“Inclement and cool weather this past quarter impacted production which affected our gross margins.  We believe our results are best viewed over a longer time frame than any one given quarter to take into account the seasonal variation of our production.”

 

Nine Months Fiscal 2020

For the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2018, net sales were $23,265,000 compared to $24,143,000. Gross profit was $9,615,000, with gross margin of 41.3%, compared to $8,237,000 and 34.1%, respectively. Net income was $266,000 or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to net loss of ($2,123,000) or ($0.37) per diluted share.
