Servotronics Announces First Quarter 2022 Financial Results Including EPS of $0.13 and Significant Growth in Revenue, Gross Margin and Operating Income

-- Revenue growth expected to continue in the second quarter of 2022 driven by increasing order volume from Servotronics' Advanced Technology Group --

ELMA, N.Y., May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Servotronics, Inc. (NYSE American – SVT) a designer and manufacturer of servo-control components and other advanced technology products today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, including significant growth in revenue, gross margin and operating income.

The company reported first quarter 2022 net income of $325,000, or $0.13 per diluted share. First quarter 2021 net income of $541,000, or $0.22 per diluted share, included a $1.4 million or $0.56 per share contribution to earnings from employee retention credits.

"Servotronics' first quarter results reflect the initial benefits of two years of incredible work by our talented workforce, to ensure this company would be ready to rapidly respond to a recovery in customer orders," said Chief Executive Officer William F. Farrell, Jr. "Thanks to their efforts, I'm able to join Servotronics at a time when there is significant upside, which we will pursue with renewed purpose. We intend to execute well on deliveries of existing customer orders, explore new opportunities for our current offerings, accelerate product development activities for new markets and applications, and intensify our focus on operational efficiency and excellence. Our work is only just beginning, and I'm very excited by the opportunities we're well positioned to seize in 2022 and beyond."

Significant revenue growth and gross margin improvement in the first quarter of 2022 were attributed to an increase in units shipped by Servotronics' Advanced Technology Group (ATG) and a shift in product mix toward higher-priced products at both the ATG and the Consumer Products Group (CPG).

First quarter consolidated revenues grew to $11.2 million in 2022, increasing 23.3% from $9.1 million last year. First quarter ATG revenue grew to $9.2 million in 2022, increasing 26.9% from $7.2 million last year. First quarter CPG revenue grew to $2.0 million in 2022, increasing 8.9% from $1.9 million in 2021.

Growth in consolidated revenue is expected to continue in the second quarter and first half of 2022, compared to the same periods last year, driven primarily by anticipated increases in ATG revenue and units shipped under long-term prime contracts and subcontracts.

Consolidated	23.6%	12.8%	16.2%	18.7%	11.0%	14.8%

First quarter consolidated gross margin grew to $2.6 million, or 23.6% of revenue in 2022, more than doubling from the $993,000 or 11.0% reported in 2021. The company continues to believe that its production resources and maintenance of a highly skilled advanced manufacturing workforce have positioned Servotronics well for recovering orders, which will be critical to reducing per-unit costs and sustainably enhancing gross margin in future periods.

Growth in first quarter 2022 selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) and total operating costs and expenses were far outpaced by revenue growth for the period. First quarter SG&A was $2.2 million in 2022, increasing 10.6% from $2.0 million last year. First quarter SG&A as a percentage of revenue improved to 19.5% in 2022, declining 230 basis points from 21.8% last year.

The company's first quarter total operating costs and expenses were $10.7 million in 2022, increasing 6.7% from $10.0 million last year. Operating costs and expenses reflected higher revenues, as well as continued investments in the business including a March 2022 wage increase, designed to support advanced manufacturing employee recruitment and retention.

Servotronics first quarter operating income grew to $456,000, an increase of $1.4 million from an operating loss of $980,000 last year, as double-digit rates of growth in consolidated revenues and gross margin more than offset modest increases in SG&A and total operating costs and expenses.
