MIND Technology Reminds Preferred Stockholders To Vote Proxies (8/05/24)
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Aug. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MIND Technology, Inc. ("MIND" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: MIND; MINDP) will reconvene its virtual special meeting (the "Special Meeting") of holders of its 9% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") on Thursday, August 29, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. Central Time. The Special Meeting is being held to approve an amendment to the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Preferred Stock, which provides that each share of Preferred Stock may be converted into 3.9 shares of the Company's common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at the sole discretion of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Preferred Stock Proposal"). Preferred stockholders have previously approved a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting one or more times to give the Company's management additional time to solicit additional proxies to approve the Preferred Stock Proposal. Given the length of the adjournment, a new record date of Tuesday, July 16, 2024 was established for the Special Meeting.
The Company filed a revised proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on July 22, 2024 and distributed such proxy to holders of record as of July 16, 2024 who will be eligible to vote at the Special Meeting. Previously voted proxies are no longer valid.
Rob Capps, President and CEO of MIND, stated, "We understand that the new meeting date creates some confusion since previously cast proxies are no longer valid and must be voted again. If you executed a proxy prior to July 16, 2024, that proxy is no longer valid, and you must vote again. If you have not yet received the revised proxy statement, please contact your broker or other nominee for instructions on how to vote. We encourage all holders of Preferred Stock as of July 16, 2024 to vote in favor of the Preferred Stock Proposal," concluded Capps.

MIND TECHNOLOGY, INC. REPORTS FISCAL 2024 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, June 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- MIND Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIND) ("MIND" or the "Company") today announced financial results for its fiscal 2024 first quarter ended April 30, 2023.
Revenues from Marine Technology Products sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 were $12.6 million compared to $12.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and $9.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
The Company reported operating income of $289,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to losses of $221,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and approximately $2.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The net loss (after income taxes) for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was $240,000 compared to net income of $666,000 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and a net loss of approximately $2.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. First quarter of fiscal 2024 net loss attributable to common shareholders was $0.09 per share compared to $0.02 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and $0.24 in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was approximately $913,000 compared to $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and a loss of $1.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, which is a non-GAAP measure, is defined and reconciled to reported net income (loss) from continuing operations and cash used in operating activities in the accompanying financial tables. These are the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
The backlog of Marine Technology Products as of April 30, 2023, was approximately $22.6 million compared to $20.7 million at January 31, 2023 and $13.4 million at April 30, 2022.
Rob Capps, MIND's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased to report positive results for the second quarter in a row, having produced positive operating income and Adjusted EBITDA with significantly improved revenues year-over-year. Our first quarter revenues from continuing operations increased 39% year-over-year, with our Seamap segment making up a meaningful portion of that growth. I think it's noteworthy that we saw sequential improvement at the operating level. The sequential improvement in operating income was partially driven by an increase in gross margin to approximately 43% in the current quarter versus 36% in the prior quarter. Our backlog of $22.6 million was up over 68% from the $13.4 million we reported during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and improved on a sequential basis, demonstrating the strong demand growth we continue to see in our key markets. Inquiry and bidding activity remain robust as we work to further expand our backlog. Our backlog reflects the continued positive momentum that we are experiencing in various markets, and we believe that our differentiated marine technology products are uniquely positioned to benefit from favorable market trends.
"As we progress throughout fiscal 2024, we continue to believe the positive trend for order flow will continue. Additionally, we believe the underlying market fundamentals are positive and those have contributed to the increase in order activity. The current geopolitical situation emphasizes the need for maritime security and other defense applications. The constructive pricing environment in the energy market is positive for our customers in that space. The trend towards renewable energy, such as wind farms, is a positive development for our marine survey customers. We plan to continue to execute our long-term strategic initiatives and position the Company to become a leading provider of innovative marine technology and products," concluded Capps.
