IBC Advanced Alloys reported financial results for Q3 2024. The Copper Alloys division maintained steady sales of $4.9 million with a gross margin of 17.5%. The company posted a consolidated net loss of $1.2 million ($0.01 per share), primarily due to closing costs at the discontinued Engineered Materials division, higher corporate SG&A expenses, and debt service payments. The Copper Alloys division's operating income slightly decreased to $322,000 from $338,000 year-over-year. The company expects to strengthen its position as EM division closing costs wind down in coming months.

IBC Advanced Alloys ha riportato i risultati finanziari per il terzo trimestre del 2024. La divisione delle leghe di rame ha mantenuto vendite stabili di 4,9 milioni di dollari con un margine lordo del 17,5%. L'azienda ha registrato una perdita netta consolidata di 1,2 milioni di dollari (0,01 dollari per azione), principalmente a causa dei costi di chiusura della divisione Materiali Ingegnerizzati dismessa, delle spese generali e amministrative aziendali più elevate e dei pagamenti del servizio del debito. Il reddito operativo della divisione delle leghe di rame è leggermente diminuito a 322.000 dollari rispetto ai 338.000 dollari dell'anno precedente. L'azienda prevede di rafforzare la propria posizione man mano che i costi di chiusura della divisione EM si attenueranno nei prossimi mesi.

IBC Advanced Alloys informó sobre los resultados financieros del tercer trimestre de 2024. La división de Aleaciones de Cobre mantuvo ventas estables de 4,9 millones de dólares con un margen bruto del 17,5%. La compañía registró una pérdida neta consolidada de 1,2 millones de dólares (0,01 dólares por acción), principalmente debido a los costos de cierre de la división de Materiales Ingenierizados descontinuada, mayores gastos generales y administrativos corporativos, y pagos por servicios de deuda. El ingreso operativo de la división de Aleaciones de Cobre disminuyó ligeramente a 322,000 dólares desde 338,000 dólares en el año anterior. La compañía espera fortalecer su posición a medida que los costos de cierre de la división EM disminuyan en los próximos meses.

IBC Advanced Alloys는 2024년 3분기 재무 결과를 발표했습니다. 구리 합금 부문은 490만 달러의 안정적인 매출과 17.5%의 총 마진을 유지했습니다. 이 회사는 통합 순손실 120만 달러(주당 0.01달러)를 기록했으며, 이는 주로 폐쇄 비용, 증가한 기업 SG&A 비용 및 부채 서비스 비용 때문입니다. 구리 합금 부문의 운영 수익은 전년 대비 33만8천 달러에서 32만2천 달러로 소폭 감소했습니다. 회사는 EM 부문의 폐쇄 비용이 감소함에 따라 향후 몇 달 내에 입지를 강화할 것으로 기대하고 있습니다.

IBC Advanced Alloys a publié ses résultats financiers pour le troisième trimestre de 2024. La division des alliages de cuivre a maintenu des ventes stables de 4,9 millions de dollars avec une marge brute de 17,5%. L'entreprise a enregistré une perte nette consolidée de 1,2 million de dollars (0,01 dollar par action), principalement en raison des coûts de fermeture de la division des matériaux conçus abandonnée, des dépenses générales et administratives corporatives plus élevées et des paiements de services de la dette. Le revenu d'exploitation de la division des alliages de cuivre a légèrement diminué, passant de 338 000 dollars à 322 000 dollars d'une année sur l'autre. L'entreprise s'attend à renforcer sa position à mesure que les coûts de fermeture de la division EM diminuent dans les mois à venir.

IBC Advanced Alloys hat die finanziellen Ergebnisse für das 3. Quartal 2024 bekannt gegeben. Die Kupferlegierungsabteilung erzielte stabile Verkäufe von 4,9 Millionen Dollar mit einer Bruttomarge von 17,5%. Das Unternehmen verzeichnete einen konsolidierten Nettoverlust von 1,2 Millionen Dollar (0,01 Dollar pro Aktie), was hauptsächlich auf Abschlusskosten der stillgelegten Abteilung für technische Materialien, höhere Unternehmens-SG&A-Ausgaben und Zahlungen für den Schuldendienst zurückzuführen ist. Das Betriebsergebnis der Kupferlegierungsabteilung sank leicht von 338.000 Dollar auf 322.000 Dollar im Jahresvergleich. Das Unternehmen erwartet, seine Position zu stärken, während die Abschlusskosten der EM-Abteilung in den kommenden Monaten abnehmen.

  • Copper alloys division (continuing operations) sales remained steady at $4.9 million

  • Copper alloys division operations operating income1 dropped slightly to $322,000 from $338,000 in the prior-year period.

  • Copper Alloys gross margin remained largely unchanged quarter-over-quarter ("Q/Q").

FRANKLIN, IN / ACCESSWIRE / November 27, 2024 / IBC Advanced Alloys Corp. ("IBC" or the "Company") (TSXV:IB)(OTCQB:IAALF) announces its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The Company will host a live investor webcast to discuss these results on Friday, November 29 at 12 Noon Eastern. To register, please go here: https://events.gov.teams.microsoft.us/event/8c3611f7-e3f7-4d3b-8809-d6f7e9e21916@a7c6e2dc-c188-46da-80af-dd3453bd7361

Sales at IBC's continuing operations1 (its Copper Alloys Division) totaled $4.898 million, largely unchanged from sales of $4.906 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The division's gross profit of $857,000 and gross margin of 17.5% largely equaled its performance in the prior-year period ($865,000 and 17.6%, respectively), as did its Adjusted EBITDA of $479,000 ($479,000 in the prior-year period).

Discontinued operations at the IBC's Engineered Materials ("EM") division had no sales, as all contracts were completed in June 2024, but continued to incur closing costs. IBC expects these to wind down in the coming months, potentially putting the company on a substantially stronger footing.

On a consolidated basis, IBC booked a loss of $1.2 million, or $0.01 per share, driven largely by the lack of revenue and ongoing closing costs at its discontinued EM division, by higher-than-normal corporate SG&A costs (largely due to the EM division closure), and by debt service payments.

IBC expects to incur a charge to operations in respect to the discontinuation of the Engineered Materials division's operations and is negotiating with the building landlord to minimize such costs.

"In spite of slightly softer quarterly demand in copper alloy markets, our Copper Alloys division continued to drive healthy sales revenue and maintained its gross profit, gross margin, and adjusted earnings as compared to the prior-year period," said Mark A. Smith, Chairman and CEO of IBC. "As closing costs at our discontinued EM division wind down over the coming months, I see IBC moving to a substantially stronger footing with significant opportunity for growth in the Copper Alloys division. On a parallel path, as we continue to pay down debt and strengthen our balance sheet through organic growth, I see a great deal of upside for the Company going forward."

NON-IFRS MEASURES

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, IBC uses "Adjusted EBITDA," which a non-IFRS financial measure. IBC believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator for cash flow generated by the business that is independent of IBC's capital structure.

Operating income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to loss for the period or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Operating income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to IBC's data.

ADJUSTED EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA in the Company's continuing operations represents the income (loss) for the period, and year-to-date, before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and share-based compensation. A reconciliation of the quarter loss to Adjusted EBITDA in IBC's continuing operations follows:
