FITCHBURG, Mass., Nov. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micron Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: MICR) (the “Company”), a diversified contract manufacturing organization, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Micron Products, Inc., producing highly-engineered, innovative components requiring precision machining and injection molding, announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

In the third quarter of 2021, the Company reported $4,884,881 in revenue, as compared to $5,636,288 in the third quarter of 2020, a 13.3% decrease. Net Loss for the third quarter of 2021 was ($472,113) compared to net income of $324,011 in the third quarter of 2020. Gross Margin decreased to 5.3% in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 23% in the third quarter of 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2021 was ($253,000) compared to $766,000 in the third quarter of 2020.

CEO Bill Laursen commented, “During the third quarter, the Company continued to make progress on its key strategic objectives, building upon the milestones achieved earlier in the year.

Micron’s decreased EBITDA was primarily a result of lower volume in our custom molding and machining business lines due to inconsistent order patterns at some of our larger customers. Some of these customers continue to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting disruptions in their business. We have also increased investments in engineering and production to strengthen our abilities to support new customers and product development. Both of these factors had unfavorable impact to earnings in the third quarter.”

(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting net income, a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”) measure, this news release contains information about Adjusted EBITDA (income from continuing operations adjusted for income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation expense), which is a non-GAAP measure. Share-based compensation includes directors fees paid by means of stock grants versus cash as well as non-cash incentives. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA allows investors to view its performance in a manner similar to the methods used by management and provides additional insight into its operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated through the application of GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered as a substitute for the GAAP measure of net income (loss) and, therefore, should not be used in isolation of, but in conjunction with, the GAAP measure. The use of any non-GAAP measure may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies.
