LAUREL, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- inTEST Corporation (NYSE American: INTT), a global supplier of innovative test and process solutions for use in manufacturing and testing in key target markets which include automotive, defense/aerospace, industrial, life sciences, security, and semiconductor (“semi”), today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. Results include the impact of the following acquisitions: North Sciences, formerly Z-Sciences (October 2021), Videology (October 2021) and Acculogic (December 2021).

Nick Grant, President and CEO, commented, “Solid execution of our 5-Point Strategy to drive growth enabled us to end this past year with a record $117 million in revenue. By expanding our addressable markets, building out our sales channels, upgrading our talent and staffing, and driving innovation with new products, we have expanded our geographic reach, our customer base, and market positions. Further demonstrating the success of our strategy, we integrated three acquisitions that added new technologies and deepened our positions in target markets.”

5-Point Strategy Drove Growth

The Company is focused on the execution of its 5-Point Strategy that it initiated in 2021. inTEST’s goal is to further diversify the business while accelerating growth. The elements of the strategy are:

• Global and market expansion;
• Innovation and differentiation;
• Service and support;
• Talent and culture; and
• Strategic acquisitions and partnerships.

The Company saw growth in revenue across all its served markets in 2022 compared to the prior year. This growth was fueled both by end market demand for inTEST’s highly engineered technology solutions as well as the impact of acquisitions. The Company’s revenue from its semi business grew 24.5% in 2022 to $68.4 million, which was driven by induction heating solutions for silicon carbide (SiC) crystal production. Sales of the Company’s highly engineered solutions for automotive/electric vehicle (EV) grew 73.7% to $10.8 million for 2022. The acquired businesses contributed significantly to the revenue increases in industrial, automotive/EV, life sciences, defense/aerospace, and security.

Mr. Grant continued, “I am exceptionally proud of our global team, who delivered the outstanding results for 2022. By executing on our strategy, we are driving a culture of greater openness, collaboration and accountability across the organization which enabled us to overcome many supply chain challenges throughout the year and deliver on our commitments to our customers. We are executing on our vision to be the supplier of choice for innovative test and process technology solutions globally.”

⁽¹⁾ Adjusted net earnings, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and organic revenue are non-GAAP financial measures. Further information can be found under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” See also the reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures that accompany this press release.

Compared with the prior-year period, revenue grew $10.0 million, driven by organic revenue (Non-GAAP)⁽¹⁾ growth of $6.3 million. Revenue growth reflected strong demand across all technology offerings and end markets. Demand for induction heating technology solutions for silicon carbide (SiC) crystal growth applications, as well as back-end test solutions for analog and mixed signal applications drove sales to the semi market up 58.4% to $19.5 million.

Compared with the third quarter of 2022, fourth quarter sales to the semi market grew 1.5%, due to continued strength in demand for solutions serving silicon carbide (SiC) crystal growth applications. Revenue increased sequentially to the automotive/EV and defense/aerospace markets by 73.0% and 13.7%, respectively. All the Company’s technology platforms serve these markets.

Gross margin increased by 100 basis points on a sequential basis primarily due to higher volume and beneficial product mix. Sequentially, operating income grew 27.6% to $4.0 million and operating margin expanded 210 basis points driven by operating leverage as the business scales.

Net earnings for the fourth quarter were $3.2 million, or $0.30 per diluted share. Adjusted net earnings (Non-GAAP)⁽¹⁾ were $3.7 million, or $0.34 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)⁽¹⁾ was $5.3 million, representing a 16.2% adjusted EBITDA margin (Non-GAAP)⁽¹⁾.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Review

Cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) and short-term investments at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022 were $14.6 million, an increase of approximately $1.0 million from the end of the third quarter of 2022. During the quarter, the Company generated $2.3 million in cash from operations, up from $1.4 million in the third quarter. Cash used in operations for the year was $1.4 million. At quarter end, after paying down $1.0 million in debt, total debt was $16.1 million.

Capital expenditures were $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared with $0.4 million in the prior-year period. For the full year 2022 capital expenditures were $1.4 million, compared with $1.0 million in 2021.

Available funding under the Company’s delayed draw term loan facility is currently $30.0 million. In addition, there were no borrowings at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022 under the revolving credit facility.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Orders and Backlog (see orders by market in accompanying tables)

($ in 000s)		Three Months Ended
						Change						Change
		12/31/2022		9/30/2022		$		%		12/31/2021		$		%
Orders		$31,315		$32,680		$(1,365)		-4.2%		$30,459		$856		2.8%
Backlog (at quarter end)		$46,800		$47,890		$(1,090)		-2.3%		$34,052		$12,748		37.4%

Fourth quarter orders of $31.3 million grew 2.8% over the prior-year period reflecting increases across all end markets except in semi, which declined $6.6 million as last year’s fourth quarter benefitted from a $10.0 million front-end, long-term order. Sequentially, orders declined 4.2% driven by the timing of orders for semi and automotive/EV markets, which were partially offset by increased orders for life sciences, security and other markets.

Backlog at December 31, 2022, was $46.8 million, up 37.4% versus the prior year. Backlog declined sequentially 2.3% as supply chain constraints moderated enabling the Company to better meet customer demand. Approximately 45% of the backlog is expected to ship beyond the first quarter of 2023.

First Quarter 2023 Outlook and Full Year 2023 Goals

Mr. Grant concluded, “We have made excellent progress with our 5-Point Strategy and are optimistic that we can deliver high single-digit organic growth in 2023. While our quarterly cadence may vary, we are confident in the team and their ability to execute and deliver on our strategic goals.”

For 2023, the Company expects to deliver between $125 million to $130 million in revenue.

Gross margin in 2023 is expected to be consistent with 2022, or between 45% and 46%, while operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $44 million to $46 million. Expenses include intangible asset amortization expense which is currently estimated to be approximately $2.1 million for the full year, or approximately $1.7 million after tax.

The effective tax rate is expected to be consistent with 2022. Capital expenditures for 2023 are expected to run at approximately 1% to 2% of sales.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2023 is expected to be in the range of $30 million to $32 million with gross margin of approximately 45%.

First quarter 2023 operating expenses, including amortization, are expected to run at approximately $11.1 million to $11.3 million. Intangible asset amortization is expected to be approximately $540,000 pre-tax, or approximately $450,000 after tax. Interest expense is expected to be approximately $190,000 for the quarter and the effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 16% to 17% for the year.

First quarter 2023 EPS is expected to be in the range of $0.21 to $0.26, while adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP) ⁽¹⁾ is expected to be in the range of $0.25 to $0.30.

The foregoing guidance is based on management’s current views with respect to operating and market conditions and customers’ forecasts. It also assumes macroeconomic conditions remain unchanged through the end of the year. Actual results may differ materially from what is provided here today as a result of, among other things, the factors described under “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also disclose non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures consist of organic revenue, adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin.

Definition of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company defines these non-GAAP measures as follows:

• Organic revenue for any given period is derived by excluding "acquired revenue” from total revenue for that period. Acquired revenue is revenue generated by an acquired business for months when that business was not owned for the full comparable prior period.
• Adjusted net earnings is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, adjusted for the related income tax expense (benefit), to net earnings (loss).
• Adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS) is derived by dividing adjusted net earnings by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
• Adjusted EBITDA is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, and stock-based compensation expense to net earnings.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin is derived by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue.

These results are provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with GAAP. Organic revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure presented to provide investors the understanding of the performance of the core business excluding the contributions of acquisitions in the first twelve months of ownership. Adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS) are non-GAAP financial measures presented to provide investors with meaningful, supplemental information regarding our baseline performance before acquired intangible amortization charges as management believes this expense may not be indicative of our underlying operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures presented primarily as a measure of liquidity as they exclude non-cash charges for acquired intangible amortization, depreciation and stock-based compensation. In addition, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin also exclude the impact of interest income or expense and income tax expense or benefit, as management believes these expenses may not be indicative of our underlying operating performance.

Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release are used by management to make operational decisions, to forecast future operational results, and for comparison with our business plan, historical operating results and the operating results of our peers. Reconciliations from revenue to organic revenue, net earnings and earnings per diluted share (EPS) to adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS) and from net earnings to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, are contained in the tables below.

Limitations of organic revenue, adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin

Each of our non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools. They should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures of earnings or cash flows. Limitations may include the cash portion of interest expense, income tax (benefit) provision, charges related to intangible asset amortization and stock-based compensation expense. These items could significantly affect our financial results.

Management believes these Non-GAAP financial measures are important in evaluating our performance, results of operations, and financial position. We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our U.S. GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business.

Organic revenue, adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are not alternatives to revenue, net earnings, earnings per diluted share or margin as calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As such, they should not be considered or relied upon as substitutes or alternatives for any such U.S. GAAP financial measure. We strongly urge you to review the reconciliations of organic revenue, adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin along with our financial statements included elsewhere in this press release. We also strongly urge you not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. In addition, because organic revenue, adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, the organic revenue, adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin measures as presented in this press release may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
