ELMA, N.Y., March 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Servotronics, Inc. (NYSE American – SVT) a designer and manufacturer of servo-control components and other advanced technology products today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2022.
Highlights for the full year financial results include the following:
- Annual sales growth of
8.0% to$43.8 million for 2022, from$40.6 million in 2021 driven by improved demand in the commercial aerospace market, with steady incoming order flow and the benefits of long-term contracts with key customers. - Consolidated gross profit was
$5.9 million or13.6% of revenue in 2022, compared with$6.0 million or14.8% for 2021. Gross margins were adversely impacted by investments in staffing to prepare for anticipated order activity in 2023 and industry-wide supply chain constraints that created inefficiencies within the Company's operations. - Selling, General and Administrative costs decreased to
$8.4 million or19.2% of revenue in 2022, down from$11.3 million or25.5% of revenue in the year prior. The decrease in SG&A was primarily driven by lower legal fees and legal settlements of approximately$1.9 million in 2021 which did not recur in 2022. - Operating loss improved significantly for the year, decreasing
53.4% to a loss of$2.5 million , from a loss of$5.3 million in 2021. The reduction in operating loss was driven by reductions in SG&A costs. - Net loss for the year was
$2.1 million , or a loss of ($0.88) per diluted share in 2022 compared to net income of$4.1 million , or$1.68 per diluted share in 2021. Net income in the prior year included the impact of the forgiveness of the Company's Paycheck Protection Plan loan, employee retention credit and the New York State Shared Work Program which increased pre-tax income by approximately$10.6 million . The prior year also included$1.9 million for legal settlements which negatively impacted pre-tax income.
"We are proud of the progress our team has made as we transform Servotronics to be a leader within our industry. During the past year we have made strides to improve our culture focused on integrity and accountability. There also have been additions to our leadership team which will help us accelerate growth and profitability," said Chief Executive Officer William F. Farrell, Jr. "Our new strategic vision is guiding our actions as we focus on driving improved performance in 2023 and beyond."
Financial results for 2022 were adversely impacted by investments in staffing and inventory to prepare for anticipated order activity in 2023 as well as industry-wide supply chain constraints which caused operating inefficiencies. Internal and external supply chain improvement efforts have been initiated and the Company expects to see improvements in the first half of 2023.
A summary of fourth-quarter financial results includes the following:
- Consolidated revenues were
$10.4 million in 2022, down slightly from$10.6 million in 2021. - Gross profit decreased to
$0.6 million or5.9% of revenue in 2022, down from$1.4 million , or12.8% of revenue in 2021. The reduction in gross profit was impacted by unfavorable product mix as well as increased operating costs due to higher labor costs, and increased expendable tools and equipment expenses to support the 2023 demand. - SG&A costs decreased
$0.3 million , or11.5% to$2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to$2.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The improvement in SG&A was the result of lower legal fees partially offset by increased compensation and benefit costs due to higher headcount. - Operating loss increased by approximately
$0.4 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 due primarily to the decrease in gross profit partially offset by improvements in SG&A costs. - Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2022 was
$1.3 million , or a loss of ($0.54) per diluted share compared to a net loss of$0.9 million , or ($0.38) per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2021.
