RF Industries Reports Sequential Sales Growth of 11% in Second Quarter of Fiscal 2021; Reiterates Guidance for Year-Over-Year Growth in Full-Year 2021 Revenue

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 14, 2021 / RF Industries, Ltd, (NASDAQ:RFIL), a national manufacturer and marketer of interconnect products and systems, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 ended April 30, 2021. As noted below, these financial results include the impact of forgiveness of approximately $2.8 million in loans from the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") and $2.6 million in Employee Retention Tax Credits ("ERC") recognized in the second quarter.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2021 Highlights and Operating Results:

  • Net sales increased 11% sequentially to $11.1 million.
  • Backlog of $15.6 million at April 30, 2021 on second quarter bookings of $19.6 million. As of today, backlog stands at $22.8 million.
  • Gross profit margin was 43%, which includes the impact of the ERC received during the quarter. Excluding the impact of ERC, gross profit margin was 27%, up from 26% in the preceding first quarter.
  • Net income was $4.8 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, which includes the impact of ERC and the forgiveness from the PPP.
  • Operating income was $42,000, which excludes the impact of the ERC and PPP, up from an operating loss of $589,000 in the preceding first quarter.
  • Non-GAAP net income was $5.0 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, which includes the impact of ERC and forgiveness from the PPP.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $355,000, which excludes the impact of the ERC and the forgiveness from the PPP.
  • Cash and cash equivalents were $14.8 million.

Robert Dawson, President and CEO of RF Industries, commented: 
"We are pleased to report sequential growth in both sales and profits in the second quarter. We are also starting to see signs of recovery in the wireless carrier ecosystem spend, as reflected in the sizeable orders we have recently received for our Optiflex hybrid fiber solution that brought our current backlog to the highest level in the Company's history. We expect the carrier market spend to continue to recover and grow, and we see increasing opportunities to expand further into this market with our complete product offering. Our industrial OEM customers and distribution partners are returning to more normalized levels and we anticipate sales expansion in both segments. Looking ahead, we expect to achieve sequential sales growth in the current fiscal third quarter, and continue to expect a return to year-over-year revenue growth this year."

Forward-Looking Statements 
This press release contains forward-looking statements with respect to future events, including the return of delayed project-based business and the Company's long-term growth, which are subject to a number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: the duration and continuing impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the U.S. economy and the Company's customers; changes in the telecommunications industry; the Company's reliance on certain distributors and customers for a significant portion of anticipated revenues; the impact of existing and additional future tariffs imposed by U.S and foreign nations; the Company's ability to execute on its new go-to-market strategies and channel models; its ability to expand its OEM relationships; its ability to continue to deliver newly designed and custom fiber optic and cabling products to principal customers; its ability to maintain strong margins and diversify its customer base; and its ability to address the changing needs of the market. Further discussion of these and other potential risk factors may be found in the Company's public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (www.sec.gov) including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements are based upon information available to the Company on the date they are published and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or new information after the date of this release.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures 
To supplement our condensed financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release and the accompanying tables and the related earnings conference call contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share (non-GAAP EPS). We believe these financial measures provide useful information to investors with which to analyze our operating trends and performance.

In computing Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP EPS, we exclude stock-based compensation expense, which represents non-cash charges for the fair value of stock options and other non-cash awards granted to employees, acquisition related costs and expenses, and severance. For Adjusted EBITDA we also exclude depreciation, amortization, and provision for income taxes. Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions, and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company's non-cash operating expenses, we believe that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude non-cash expense and non-recurring costs and expenses allows for meaningful comparisons between our core business operating results and those of other companies, as well as providing us with an important tool for financial and operational decision-making and for evaluating our own core business operating results over different periods of time.

Our Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP EPS measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies in our industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently, particularly related to non-recurring, unusual items. Our Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP Net income, and non-GAAP EPS are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to operating or net income or as an indication of operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. We do not consider these non-GAAP measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of specific adjustments to GAAP results is provided in the last two tables at the end of this press release.
