  • For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported consolidated revenue of $11,474K, an increase of $4,518K or 65% from the comparative period in 2023. 
  • Gross margin percentage on product sales was 50% for the three months ended June 30, 2024.  Improvement in gross margin percentage for Benchtop NMR is materializing as sales have improved in the second half of last year and manufacturing cost reductions started in 2023 have begun to positively affect margins.
  • Security service gross margin percentage in the quarter was 10% versus (36)% in prior year comparative period as the Company completed the full transition of 100% of airports serviced to its control from the incumbent provider in the first quarter of 2024, and now expects to increase revenue and drive efficiency within this business through 2024, while keeping costs stable.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $414K versus an Adjusted EBITDA loss of ($2,399K) in the same period last year.  This improvement was driven by increased product sales, full transition of airports to the Company's control resulting in increased security services revenue, and the effect of cost reduction initiatives.

  • The Company has demonstrated continuous growth in Security service revenue quarter over quarter, driven by the expansion of the Company's airport security maintenance business as the Company took over more airports from the incumbent service provider, ultimately taking over all airports in Q1 2024.
  • Second quarter product sales remained strong as the Company realized a large medical imaging sale which added significant revenue to the quarter.  As the Company moves into the second half of 2024, it believes product sales will remain strong as seasonality in the second half has historically produced positive results.
  • The Company's Adjusted EBITDA has continued to improve quarter over quarter, resulting in positive Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2024.  The Company expects this to continue as it works to grow both product sales and security service revenue, while closely managing costs.
  • Net loss was ($1,995K) in Q2 2024.  Net losses continue to improve as the Company has successfully grown revenue and implements cost reduction initiatives.

Recent strategic and operational highlights during and after the second quarter of 2024 include:

  • New Quarterly Revenue Record: Q2 2024 revenue of $11.5 million was driven by continued expansion of security services related to the airport security maintenance business, as well as continued strength in Benchtop NMR sales.  Also included in this quarter was a large medical imaging hardware sale. 
  • Consistent Revenue in Airport Security Maintenance Business: The Company saw a higher weighting of unscheduled maintenance and service during the quarter which contributed to strong revenue results.  As unscheduled maintenance work ebbs, resources will shift to focus on the continued rollout of projects which will provide a consistent balance of billing.  The Company continues to work to gain efficiencies and expects to see increased margin growth through 2024 and into 2025.
  • Continued year over year Benchtop NMR Strength: In Q2, the Company generated $2.8 million in Benchtop NMR sales.  This represents a $1.2 million increase over Q2 2023 Benchtop NMR sales.  The Company expects continued strength in this product line through the rest of 2024.
  • Welcomed Ms. Jennifer Stubbs to Nanalysis' Board of Directors: Following shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting, Ms. Stubbs joins Nanalysis as a Director.‎ The Company also announced that Guido Cloetens has stepped down as a director of the Company as he did not stand for re-election at the Meeting. The Board of Directors sincerely thanks Mr. Cloetens for his many valuable contributions to the Company during his time as a director and wishes him well in the future.
  • Granted Funding Supporting AI Software Development for Detection of Illicit Substances: The Company is receiving advisory services and up to $1.45 million in non-repayable, non-dilutive funding from the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP), to develop Artificial Intelligence based software tools to detect illicit substances on top of the Company's portable Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometers. 

Outlook

"We feel that we have had a great first half of the year, and we plan on continuing this trajectory through the second half of the year," said Sean Krakiwsky, Founder and CEO of Nanalysis.  " While we continue to implement our orderly cost reduction program, we are excited about the growth trajectory for BT NMR, MRI, and our Services business. We continue to make excellent operational improvements, which will continue to show gross margin expansion and ultimately bottom-line profitability. We will always be a company of technological innovation, with exciting product announcements expected this year."

Non-IFRS and Supplementary Financial Measures

The Company prepares and reports its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, ‎as adopted ‎by the Canadian Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"). However, this press release may make reference to certain non-IFRS measures including key ‎performance indicators used by management. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS ‎and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable ‎to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional ‎information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of ‎operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in ‎isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS.

The ‎Company uses Flow-through parts revenue, Security service revenue, and Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") as non-IFRS measures, which may be calculated ‎differently by other companies. These non-IFRS measure are used to provide investors with a‎ supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance and liquidity and thus highlight trends in the Company's ‎business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. The Company also ‎believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures ‎in the evaluation of companies in similar industries.
