Micron Solutions, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2022 Results
May 16 2022 - 11:28AM
Micron Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: MICR) (the “Company”), a diversified
contract manufacturing organization, through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Micron Products, Inc., producing highly-engineered,
innovative components requiring precision machining and injection
molding, announced financial results for its first quarter ended
March 31, 2022.
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company
reported $4,683,268 in net sales, as compared to $5,761,023 in the
first quarter of 2021, a 18.7% decrease. This decrease is due to
reductions from our automotive and defense segment as we continue
to strengthen our position in the medical sector, lower
non-recurring tooling and engineering revenue, and a continued
lower level of elective surgeries which impacted some of our
orthopedic implant customers as compared to the first quarter of
2021. Net loss for the first quarter of 2022 was ($720,355)
compared to net income of $114,939 in the first quarter of 2021.
Gross margin decreased to 8.5% in the first quarter of 2022,
compared to 16.1% in the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for
the first quarter of 2022 was ($391,000) compared to $550,000 in
the first quarter of 2021.
Compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, net
sales for the first quarter of 2022 increased 7% from net sales of
$4,374,690 reported in the fourth quarter of 2021 due
to an increase in customer activity in our key segments. Gross
margin improved by 340 basis points from gross margins of 5.1%
reported in the fourth quarter of 2021, and adjusted EBITDA
improved by $126,000 from ($517,000) reported in the fourth quarter
of 2021.
CEO Bill Laursen commented, ”We are encouraged
by the revenue, gross margin, and earnings improvement in the first
quarter of 2022 which we believe reflects the beginning of the
recovery from the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic. We have made
investments to manage supply chain issues, deepen our customer
relationships and improve our efficiency and resulting
profitability levels. We see continuing strengthening of our sales
pipeline with current and new customers.”

(1) Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
In addition to reporting net income, a U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measure, this
news release contains information about Adjusted EBITDA (income
from continuing operations adjusted for income taxes, interest,
depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense and
certain non-recurring gain on sale of fixed assets), which is a
non-GAAP measure. Share-based compensation includes directors fees
paid by means of stock grants versus cash as well as non-cash
incentives and the Gain/Loss on sale of fixed assets includes the
gain resulting from the sale/leaseback transaction of our primary
facility in 2021. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA allows
investors to view its performance in a manner similar to the
methods used by management and provides additional insight into its
operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated through the
application of GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered as a
substitute for the GAAP measure of net income (loss) and,
therefore, should not be used in isolation of, but in conjunction
with, the GAAP measure. The use of any non-GAAP measure may produce
results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable
to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other
companies.
Safe Harbor Statement
Forward-looking statements made herein,
including statements related to projections, bid activity and
liquidity needs, are based on current expectations of Micron
Solutions, Inc. (“our” or the “Company”) that involve a number of
risks and uncertainties and should not be considered as guarantees
of future performance. Therefore, actual results may differ
materially from what is expressed in or implied by these
forward-looking statements. The factors that could cause our actual
results of operations, financial condition, performance or
achievements to be affected materially include, but are not limited
to, our ability to obtain and retain order volumes from customers
who represent significant proportions of net sales; our ability to
maintain our pricing model, offset higher costs with product price
increases and/or decreases to our cost of sales; variability of
customer delivery requirements; the level of and ability to
generate sales of higher margin products and services; our ability
to manage our level of debt, which higher debt levels could make
the Company sensitive to the effects of economic downturns and
limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our
industry; failure to comply with financial and other covenants in
our credit facility; the impact on the Company’s operations and
financial results due to economic uncertainty and disruption
including, but not limited to, the COVID-19 pandemic and the
ongoing Ukraine-Russian military conflict; reliance on revenues
from exports and impact on financial results due to economic
uncertainty or downturns in foreign markets; volatility in
commodity and energy prices and our ability to offset higher costs
with price increases; continued availability of supplies or
materials and components used in manufacturing at competitive
prices, including managing disruptions in the supply chain and the
availability of certain raw materials; variations in the mix of
products sold; maintaining regulatory quality standards applicable
to our manufacturing and quality processes; and the amount and
timing of investments in capital equipment, sales and marketing,
engineering and information technology resources. The Company
assumes no obligation to update the information included in this
press release, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. More information about the Company's financial
results is included in our most recent Quarterly Report for the
fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 and in our Annual Report for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which are posted at
