IMMEDIATE NEWS RELEASE

Schmitt Announces Third Quarter 2020 Operating Results

 

April 14, 2020    NASDAQ: SMIT

Portland, Oregon – Schmitt Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMIT) (the “Company” or “Schmitt”) today announced its operating results for the third quarter of Fiscal 2020.

Highlights of the three and nine months ended February 29, 2020:

 

   

Company revenue decreased 2.3% and 8.6% for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2020, respectively, as compared to the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019. The decrease is primarily due to a 14.4% decrease in Acuity product revenue for the three months ended February 29, 2019, and to a 34.9% decrease in Xact product revenue and a 14.9% decrease in Acuity product revenue for the nine months ended February 29, 2020. Xact’s monitoring revenue continued to grow, increasing 11.5% and 13.5% to $391,678 and $1,140,494, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended February 29, 2020.

 

   

Gross margin increased to 55.1% and 45.6% for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2020, respectively. The increase was primarily due to an inventory reserve adjustment in Q3 FY19, better pricing from vendors and improved pricing in the Xact business line for the three months ended February 29, 2020, and primarily due to a favorable product mix shift for the nine months ended February 29, 2020.

 

   

Operating expenses increased 24.5% and 15.7% for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2020, respectively. The increase was primarily due to stock-based compensation recognized as a result of vesting of market-based RSUs for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2020.

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA was $1,612 and $(101,011) for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2020, respectively, as compared to $(30,764) and $(348,437) for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019, respectively.

 

   

Net loss from continuing operations per fully diluted share was $(0.06) and $(0.29) for the three and nine months ended February 29, 2020. Excluding expenses not expected to be incurred in future periods, including unrecoverable inventory costs, non-GAAP EPS was $(0.02) and $(0.11) for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2020, respectively.

Michael Zapata, Schmitt’s CEO and Chairman, commented, “This past quarter is indicative of the team’s focus on transitioning into Schmitt 2.0. Given the recent global developments, we are fortunate to have successfully consummated the SBS transaction last fall, which gives us a strong balance sheet and cash to be opportunistic in a difficult environment.”

“In the face of many unknowns and the unprecedented circumstances of COVID-19 pandemic we are dealing with, I believe we are also positioned well with a management team that has experience operating and making decisions in uncertain environments. As we continue forward in these uncertain times, I want to thank our team as they remain focused on long-term goals with an ability to remain flexible and adaptive. This will pass and I’m confident we will be stronger once we emerge from this environment.”

COVID-19 Update

Schmitt has implemented COVID-19 response and business continuity plans to protect its employees and their families, to safeguard continuity of Schmitt operations, and to ensure full support to its customers and partners. For the time being, the Company has implemented new safety guidelines that maximize interpersonal space to protect employees working on location, while all other employees who can telecommute work remotely.

The Company is highly focused on retaining its workforce and leadership during these extraordinary times and will continue to evaluate the business environment and outlook to ensure preservation of enterprise value under a wide range of circumstances.

De-listing and Deregistration Update

Schmitt continues to evaluate a shareholder value opportunity in regard to the previously announced intent to delist. There can be no assurance that the Company will enter into an agreement relating to the transaction or as to the timing or the terms of such opportunity thereof or what impact of such opportunity would be on the trading of the Company’s common stock. To the extent that the Company elects to proceed with delisting, it will provide shareholders and NASDAQ ten days notice of any intent to file a Form 25.

Share Repurchases

On December 3, 2019, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase plan to buy up to $2 million of its Common Stock. Since the announcement, the Company has repurchased approximately 10% of its shares through both a private transaction for 365,490 shares at $3.25 per share and 46,932 shares at an average price of $3.10 per share, which was done in accordance with a 10b5-1 plan. At this time, the plan has been suspended pending the evaluation of the shareholder value opportunity discussed above. Due to the private transaction remaining outside of the $2m repurchase plan, $1.85 million remains available on the repurchase plan once resumed.
