Third Quarter 2023 Highlights

For the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company reported revenues of $25.4 million, a decline of 6% compared to $26.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 including a net reduction of $1.3 million from discontinued products from the third quarter of last year. Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was 58.1% compared with 45.2% in the comparable quarter of the prior year. Gross margins in the third quarter of the prior year included the impact of a $1.3 million inventory charge related to the discontinued products.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2023 was ($1.2) million and included the favorable impact of a $1.2 million mark-to-market adjustment of marketable securities. This compares to net loss of ($3.4) million in the third quarter of 2022, which included the aforementioned inventory charges. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2023 was $2.2 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Cash provided by operations for the third quarter of 2023 was $4.4 million compared to $0.6 million in the same period last year. Debt was reduced by $2.8 million, and net debt was reduced by $3.8 million during the third quarter of 2023.

Nine Months ended September 30, 2023 Highlights

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenues were $84.1 million, compared to $84.9 million in the same period a year ago. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 include a net reduction of $4.1 million from discontinued products compared to the same period last year. Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 59.2% compared with 53.0% in the comparable period of the prior year.

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was ($1.6) million, including an unfavorable $0.4 million mark-to-market reduction of marketable securities, compared to a net loss of ($7.9) million for the comparable period of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $10.9 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $7.1 million for the comparable period of 2022.

2023 Updated Guidance

With consideration of the headwinds in Asia discussed above, we now expect our fiscal 2023 revenue to be approximately flat as compared to 2022. Expected 2023 revenue includes an approximately 5 percentage point headwind from discontinued products. For the year 2023, we continue to expect gross margins of approximately 60%. We now expect adjusted EBITDA margins in the 13% to 14% range. We remain on the path to reducing our net leverage ratio to approximately 2X by the end of this year.
