Retractable Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: RVP) reports that its operating income was $7.7 million for the first six months of 2022 and that it had an operating loss of $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2022, as compared to an operating income for the same periods last year of $36.1 million for the first six months of 2021 and an operating income of $12.7 million for the second quarter of 2021. Total net sales were $14.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $59.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. In comparison, total net sales were $42.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $92.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The differences in the revenues are largely due to the lack of second quarter sales to the U.S. government, offset by higher international sales. Although total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were significantly lower than the same periods in the prior year, sales to non-U.S. government domestic customers for both the first and second quarters of 2022 were higher than any quarter in the two years immediately prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

While Retractable continues to work with its contacts at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, additional orders are uncertain.

International sales increased significantly in the periods ended June 30, 2022, with additional international orders accepted but delayed as of June 30, 2022 due to recent and temporary closures in China as a result of COVID-19 measures.

Retractable experienced significant growth in 2021 and late 2020 due to material orders from the U.S. government to supply syringes for COVID-19 vaccination efforts. Such orders included payment for certain freight charges as well. As a result, comparability to revenues and expenses in recent years may be challenging. Below are second quarter revenue figures from 2018 – 2022, as obtained from Retractable’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as filed with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission.

Retractable reports the following results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Further details concerning the results of operations, as well as other matters, are available in Retractable’s Form 10-Q filed on August 15, 2022 with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021

Domestic sales accounted for 66.7% and 94.3% of the revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Domestic revenues decreased 76.1% principally due to the lack of second quarter sales to the U.S. government. Domestic unit sales decreased 79.8%. Domestic unit sales were 51.4% of total unit sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022. International revenues increased approximately 97.5% predominately due to international vaccination campaigns. Overall unit sales decreased 64.1%.

Cost of manufactured product decreased 51.7% principally due to lower volumes. Royalty expense decreased 65.1% due to decreased gross sales.

Operating expenses decreased 18.1% from the prior year. This is substantially due to lower consulting costs.

The loss from operations was $2.1 million compared to income from operations of $12.7 million for the same period last year. The decrease was due to an overall decrease in revenues and because per-unit costs have risen with lower production levels.

The unrealized loss on equity securities was $3.9 million due to the decreased market values of those securities.

The benefit for income taxes was $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2022 in comparison to the provision for income taxes of $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2021.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021

Domestic sales, including sales to the U.S. government, accounted for 60.1% and 96.0% of the revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Domestic revenues decreased 60.0% principally due to lower sales to the U.S. government. Domestic unit sales decreased 63.0%. Domestic unit sales were 46.5% of total unit sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Domestic unit sales excluding the U.S. government sales decreased approximately 32.3%. International revenues increased approximately 529.1% predominately due to first-quarter purchases from a non-governmental humanitarian organization for international vaccination campaigns. Overall unit sales decreased 25.5%.

Cost of manufactured product decreased 7.7% principally due to lower volumes. Royalty expense decreased 37.1% due to decreased gross sales.

Operating expenses were largely unchanged from the prior year.

Income from operations was $7.7 million compared to income from operations of $36.1 million for the same period last year. The decrease was due to an overall decrease in revenues and because per-unit costs have risen with lower production levels.

The unrealized loss on equity securities was $572 thousand due to the decreased market values of those securities.

The provision for income taxes decreased to $4.2 million for the first six months of 2022 from $10.1 million in the first six months of 2021.
