“The team achieved significant revenue and gross profit growth during the first quarter,” said Erik Wiik, President and CEO of KOIL. “We are off to a great start in 2024, with exceptional results reflecting strong execution and accelerating results from growth initiatives. Year-over-year sales growth of 56% was accompanied by continued strong order intake during the quarter. As previously communicated, we also won a major contract in April for delivery and installation of subsea safety control systems to an international energy company.

”Our growth strategy is delivering results, and we remain committed to further expanding our capacity as well as increasing our presence in faster-growing, international markets.

“We are a focused subsea controls technology provider. We manufacture engineer-to-order products, combined with highly responsive service support, to solve our customers’ deepwater challenges and keep their wells producing. This is mission-critical technology with high barriers to entry.

“While most of our growth can be attributed to repeat orders from satisfied customers, we have also increased the number of key accounts. I am confident that our continued progress will enable us to create long-term value for our customers, shareholders, and employees.”

Operating Results

KOIL’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (“Q1 2024”) increased 56 percent to $5.8 million compared to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 (“Q1 2023”), primarily due to an increase in product-oriented, fixed price contracts.

Gross profit for Q1 2024 was $2.0 million, or 35 percent of revenues, compared to Q1 2023 gross profit of $1.6 million, or 44 percent of revenues. The comparative increase in Q1 2024 gross profit was primarily driven by increased revenues, while the decline in Q1 2024 gross profit as a percentage of revenue reflects higher materials costs associated with the increase in fixed price contracts.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $1.5 million, or 25 percent of revenues, in Q1 2024 compared to $1.7 million, or 47 percent of revenues, in Q1 2023. SG&A in Q1 2024 reflected lower administrative payroll expense, advertising expense, research and development expense, and rental expense related to the Company’s short-term lease for office furniture.

Due to the factors discussed above, KOIL reported Q1 2024 net income of $0.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to a Q1 2023 net loss of $0.1 million, or a $0.01 loss per diluted share. Per share results for Q1 2024 and Q1 2023 are based on 12.02 million and 11.89 million weighted average shares outstanding, respectively.

KOIL reported adjusted EBITDA of $0.7 million in Q1 2024 compared to adjusted EBITDA of $0.1 million in Q1 2023. The comparative increase in adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2024 was primarily driven by growth in revenues and gross profit stemming from an uptick in product-oriented, fixed-price projects in Q1 2024 as compared to Q1 2023.

Financial Position

At March 31, 2024, working capital totaled $3.3 million, which includes cash of $2.0 million and net receivables of $3.9 million. This is compared to $2.6 million of working capital at December 31, 2023, which includes cash of $2.0 million and receivables of $4.2 million. Shareholders’ equity totaled $6.2 million, or approximately $0.52 per common share, at March 31, 2024, compared to $5.6 million, or approximately $0.47 per common share, at the beginning of the year.
