SIFCO Industries, Inc. (“SIFCO”) Announces
Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Results

Cleveland - SIFCO Industries, Inc. (NYSE American: SIF) today announced financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2023, which ended March 31, 2023.

Second Quarter Results
Net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased 21.7% to $19.2 million, compared with $24.6 million for the same period in fiscal 2022.
Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $2.4 million, or $(0.40) per diluted share, compared with net income of $3.7 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
EBITDA was $(0.4) million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, compared with $5.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $0.1 million, compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $0.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.

Year to Date Results
Net sales in the first six months of fiscal 2023 decreased 7.5% to $40.5 million, compared with $43.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2022.
Net loss for the first six month of fiscal 2023 was $(5.0) million, or $(0.84) per diluted share, compared with net loss of $(0.1) million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, in the first six month of fiscal 2022.
EBITDA was $(1.1) million in the first six month of fiscal 2023, compared with $3.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA in the first six month of fiscal 2023 was $(0.1) million, compared with Adjusted EBITDA of ($1.0) million in the first six months of fiscal 2022.

Other Highlights
CEO Peter W. Knapper stated, “Our second quarter results were directly impacted by the cyber incident that occurred on or about December 27, 2022. Our ability to ship product was impacted early in the quarter by the limited access to information and systems constraints which have been resolved. We recovered during the latter part of the quarter. Our served markets continue to strengthen and are now close to back to pre-pandemic activity. For the period ended March 31, backlog increased year over year from $72.0M to $96.7M. We remain focused on full recovery from the cyber incident and on profitably growing our business.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses certain non-GAAP measures in this release. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and are intended to serve as supplements to results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally



accepted in the United States. SIFCO Industries, Inc. believes that such information provides an additional measurement and consistent historical comparison of the Company’s performance. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is available in this news release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Presented below is certain financial information based on the Company's EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. References to “EBITDA” mean earnings (losses) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and references to “Adjusted EBITDA” mean EBITDA plus, as applicable for each relevant period, certain adjustments as set forth in the reconciliations of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA is a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because management believes that they are useful indicators for evaluating operating performance and liquidity, including the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and it uses EBITDA to evaluate prospective acquisitions. Although the Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the reasons noted above, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures as analytical tools has limitations. Therefore, reviewers of the Company’s financial information should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results of operations as reported in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations include:
Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA reflects the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments on indebtedness;
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA reflects any cash requirements for such replacements;
The omission of the amortization expense associated with the Company’s intangible assets further limits the usefulness of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA; and
Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA includes the payment of taxes, which is a necessary element of operations.
Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to the Company to invest in the growth of its businesses. Management compensates for these limitations by not viewing EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation and specifically by using other GAAP measures, such as net income (loss), net sales, and operating income (loss), to measure operating performance. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA is a measurement of financial performance under GAAP, and neither should be considered as an alternative to net loss or cash flow from operations determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
