LightPath continues transition to solutions provider despite challenges in China and Hurricane Ian
ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 10, 2022 / LightPath Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:LPTH) ("LightPath," the "Company," or "we"), a vertically integrated provider of engineered solutions for the global photonics industry, today announced financial results for its fiscal 2023 first quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Management Commentary
LightPath's President and Chief Executive Officer Sam Rubin stated, "The first quarter of LightPath's 2023 fiscal year continued the transition in our strategic direction focused on delivering high-value optical solutions. Our revenue and gross margin took a step back, resulting from the economic slowdown in China and the effects of Hurricane Ian that shut down our Florida facility at the end of the quarter. We expect to see continued pressures on margins due to increased energy costs related to general economic conditions, including continuing inflationary factors, as well as the conflict in Ukraine and recessionary headwinds in the China which have affected our operations overseas, for the remainder of the calendar year 2022 and beyond."
"We've begun to see early glimmers of success in our plan to transition from an optical component manufacturer to a complete optical system provider. Already, our backlog, as announced in late August, exceeded the previous record backlog we had in December 2020. Our current backlog comprises significantly higher quality sales in assemblies and defense and significantly less in China. We believe that refocusing our sales efforts on higher value systems for customers in the US and Europe will result in a more stable order flow based on long-term supply relationships.
"We believe that the significant supply chain and geopolitical issues affiliated with sourcing Germanium from Russia and China provide a significant incentive for our customers to consider our proprietary Black Diamond ("BD") materials as a replacement. We continue to develop new products leveraging the game-changing multi-spectral capabilities of our BD-based product offerings and look forward to announcing those in the coming months."
Fiscal 2023 First Quarter Highlights:
- Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 of $7.4 million
- Total backlog at September 30, 2022 of $23.0 million after record backlog of $24.0 million in August 2022
- Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $1.4 million
- EBITDA* for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was ($392,000)

2023 Fiscal First Quarter Financial Results
Revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was approximately $7.4 million, compared to $9.1 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The two main factors contributing to the sales decrease were as follows: (1) decreased demand in the Asia market due to the economic downturn in China; and (2) sales across all product groups were negatively impacted by the unexpected closure of our U.S. facility for the last several days of the fiscal 2023 first quarter due to Hurricane Ian. Revenue among the Company's product groups for the first quarter of 2023 was as follows:
Product Group Revenue ($ in millions)** | First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 | First Quarter of Fiscal 2022 | % Change | |||||||||
Infrared ("IR") products | $ | 3.6 | $ | 4.9 | (26 | %) | ||||||
Precision Molded Optics ("PMO") products | $ | 3.3 | $ | 3.8 | (14 | %) | ||||||
Specialty products | $ | 0.5 | $ | 0.4 | 13 | % | ||||||
** Numbers may not foot due to rounding
- Revenue from IR products was approximately $3.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and approximately $4.9 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in revenue is primarily driven by sales of BD6-based molded infrared products, particularly to customers in the China industrial market. Sales of diamond-turned infrared products also decreased, primarily attributable to customers in the defense and industrial markets.
- Revenue from PMO products was approximately $3.3 million compared to approximately $3.8 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributed to decreases in sales through catalog and distribution channels, as well as sales to commercial customers. The majority of the decrease in sales through catalog and distribution channels is due to the termination of the Company's agreement with its distributor in Europe during the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The Company is no longer accepting new orders through this distributor and is now soliciting and receiving orders directly from the end customers. This transition will continue through the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as the Company will continue to ship distribution orders that were in place prior to the contract termination. The remainder of the decrease in PMO product sales is related to customers in China, across all of the industries served.
- Revenue from specialty products was approximately $455,000 compared to approximately $402,000 in same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily driven by non-recurring charges billed to a customer during the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
Gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was approximately $2.2 million, a decrease of 30%, as compared to approximately $3.2 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Total cost of sales was approximately $5.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to approximately $5.9 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 30% for the first quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to 35% for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to the significantly lower revenue level, with less contribution toward fixed manufacturing costs. Maintaining a gross margin of 30% at this low revenue level reflects the benefit of a number of the operational and cost structure improvements that the Company has been implementing.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") costs were approximately $2.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2023, a decrease of approximately $231,000, or 8%, as compared to approximately $2.9 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in SG&A costs is primarily due to a decrease of approximately $300,000 of expenses associated with the previously disclosed events that occurred at the Company's Chinese subsidiaries, including legal and consulting fees.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, income tax expense was approximately $102,000, compared to approximately $130,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Income tax expense is primarily related to income taxes from the Company's operations in China, including estimated Chinese withholding taxes associated with intercompany dividends declared by LightPath Optical Instrumentation (Zhenjiang) Co., Ltd. ("LPOIZ") and payable to LightPath as the parent company in the US. The decrease is due to lower taxable income in the China jurisdiction.
Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was approximately $1.4 million, or $0.05 basic and diluted loss per share, compared to $632,000, or $0.02 basic and diluted loss per share, for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase in net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, was primarily attributable to lower revenue and gross margin, partially offset by lower operating expenses and income taxes.
EBITDA for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was a loss of approximately $392,000, compared to earnings of $454,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in EBITDA in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was primarily attributable to lower revenue and gross margin, partially offset by lower operating costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash used in operations was approximately $415,000 for the first three months of fiscal 2023, compared to approximately $1.6 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Cash used in operations for the first three months of fiscal 2023 was less than in the comparable period, with an outflow of approximately $69,000 from the net change in operating assets and liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $2 million from the net change in operating assets and liabilities for the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The amount of cash used in operations in the first fiscal quarter of 2022 resulted from several factors, including a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities during such quarter arising from the payment of certain expenses related to previously disclosed events that occurred at the Company's Chinese subsidiaries which were accrued as of June 30, 2021, and an increase in accounts receivable due to higher sales than the previous sequential quarter. Cash used in operations in the first three months of fiscal 2023 reflect a decrease in accounts receivable due to lower sales than the previous sequential quarter.
Sales Backlog
As of September 30, 2022, LightPath's total backlog was approximately $23.0 million, an increase of 19%, as compared to approximately $19.3 million as of September 30, 2021. Compared to the backlog at the end of fiscal year 2022, total backlog increased by 29% during the first three months of fiscal 2023. The increase in backlog during the first three months of fiscal 2023 was largely due to a $4 million supply agreement with a long time European customer of precision motion control systems and OEM assemblies. The new supply agreement will go into effect in the second half of fiscal year 2023 and is expected to run for around 12-18 months. In addition, orders were received for several other significant long-term projects with customers in the U.S and in Europe.

The Company's management believes that this non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measure, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportionately positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. Management also believes that this non-GAAP financial measure enhances the ability of investors to analyze underlying business operations and understand performance. In addition, management may utilize this non-GAAP financial measures as guides in forecasting, budgeting, and planning. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
