CASTLE ROCK, Colo., August 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Where Food Comes From, Inc. (WFCF) (Nasdaq: WFCF), the most trusted resource for independent, third-party verification of food production practices in North America, today announced financial results for its second quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2022.

“We continue to deliver revenue, earnings and cash flow growth despite macro headwinds related to inflation, supply chain disruptions, and drought conditions that are impacting ranchers and growers throughout the western US,” said John Saunders, Chairman and CEO. “In addition to consistent strength of our beef verification business, the first half of 2022 was notable for significant progress in our seafood initiatives, which include an increase in consulting activity and the recent introduction of our FishCARE standard for sustainable aquaculture. This new standard further expands our revenue mix and strengthens our position as the most diverse provider of verification services and products in the agricultural industry.”

The Company also announced it bought back 60,500 shares of stock in the second quarter, raising to 94,050 the total number of shares bought back in 2022.

Second Quarter Results – 2022 vs. 2021

Revenue in the second quarter ended June 30, 2022, increased 4% year over year to $5.3 million from $5.1 million. The increase primarily reflected growth of the Company’s verification and certification business, partially offset by lower product sales associated with the impact of drought conditions on cattle herd sizes.

Revenue mix included:

● Verification and certification services, up 7% to $4.0 million from $3.7 million.

● Product revenue, down 9% year over year to $0.9 million from $1.0 million.

● Software and related consulting revenue flat at $0.5 million.

Gross profit in the fourth quarter increased to $2.1 million from $2.0 million in the same quarter last year. Gross margin was 40% versus 39% year over year.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased slightly to $1.8 million from $1.7.

Operating income increased 11% to $313,000 from $282,000 in the same quarter last year.

Net income increased 10% year over year to $222,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, from $202,000, or $0.03 per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter increased 7% year over year to $570,000 from $535,000.

Six Month Results – 2022 vs. 2021

Total revenue for the first six months of 2022 increased 20% to $11.5 million from $9.6 million in the same period last year. The increase was driven by growth in all three revenue segments.

Revenue mix included:

● Verification and certification services, up 11% to $7.7 million from $7.0 million.

● Product revenue, up 12% to $1.9 million from $1.7 million.

● Software and related consulting revenue, which nearly doubled year over year to $1.9 million from $0.9 million due to completion of a large project with a Japanese government entity in the first quarter.

Gross profit in the first six months of 2022 increased to $4.5 million from $3.9 million. Gross margin was down slightly at 39% compared to 40% in a year ago due to higher compensation costs and a change in revenue mix due to the resumption of audit activity in certain lower-margin verification categories.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased slightly year over year to $3.6 million from $3.5 million.

Higher revenue and a stable cost structure drove a 152% year-over-year increase in operating income to $0.9 million from $0.4 million.

Net income in the first half of 2022 was $0.7 million compared with $1.4 million in comparable year ago period when the Company recognized income of $1.0 million in PPP loan forgiveness. EPS in the first half of 2022 was $0.12 per diluted share vs. $0.22 per diluted share in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 66% to $1.5 million from $0.9 million last year.

The Company generated $2.3 million in net cash from operations in the first half of 2022, up 40% from $1.6 million a year ago.

The cash and cash equivalents balance on June 30, 2022, increased 18% to $6.4 million from $5.4 million at 2021 year end.

*Note on non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables include a discussion of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The term “EBITDA” refers to a financial measure that we define as earnings (net income or loss) plus or minus net interest plus taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from EBITDA stock-based compensation and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing WFCF’s operating performance (as further described in the attached financial schedules). None of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP measure. We have reconciled Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income in the Consolidated Statements of Income table at the end of this release. We intend to continue to provide these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our future earnings discussions and, therefore, the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures will provide consistency in our financial reporting.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

This news release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, based on current expectations, estimates and projections that are subject to risk.

Important factors that could cause actual events to vary from predictions include those discussed in our SEC filings. Specifically, statements in this news release about industry leadership, diversity of services mix, potential for the FishCARE standard, and demand for, and impact and efficacy of, the Company’s products and services on the marketplace are forward-looking statements that are subject to a variety of factors, including availability of capital, personnel and other resources; competition; governmental regulation of the agricultural industry; the market for beef and other commodities; and other factors. Financial results for the second quarter and the Company’s pace of stock buybacks are not necessarily indicative of future results.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:  Non-GAAP results are presented only as a supplement to the financial statements and for use within management’s discussion and analysis based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the reader’s understanding of the Company’s financial performance, but non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures are provided herein.

All of the items included in the reconciliation from net income to EBITDA and from EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA are either (i) non-cash items (e.g., depreciation, amortization of purchased intangibles, stock-based compensation, etc.) or (ii) items that management does not consider to be useful in assessing the Company’s ongoing operating performance (e.g., M&A costs, income taxes, gain on sale of investments, loss on disposal of assets, etc.). In the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors can better assess the Company’s operating performance if the measures are presented without such items because, unlike cash expenses, these adjustments do not affect the Company’s ability to generate free cash flow or invest in its business.

We use, and we believe investors benefit from the presentation of, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating our operating performance because it provides us and our investors with an additional tool to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations. We believe that EBITDA is useful to investors and other external users of our financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, and depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.

Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. However, these measures can still be useful in evaluating the Company’s performance against its peer companies because management believes the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP financial disclosures.
