Insights

Revenue decreased from $1,582,000 in Q1 2023 to $1,114,000 in Q1 2024, an approximately 29% decline. This underperformance highlights some challenges in sales efficiency and market penetration. While the gross margin slightly improved from 59.5% to 60.2%, it was not enough to offset the operating loss of ($1,226,000), compared to ($1,188,000) last year.

However, the company’s cash position is worth noting. With $1.1 million in cash and a working capital of $6.6 million, TOMI has the liquidity needed for operations in the short-term. The sales backlog of $900,000 could potentially materialize into revenue in subsequent quarters. Investors should keep an eye on cash flow and how effectively the company converts its backlog into revenue to improve its financial health.

Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security's inclusion of SteraMist technology and a potential $2,000,000 purchase is a promising sign. If secured, this could be a meaningful boost to revenue. Investors should also monitor the progress of the $3,000,000 grant proposal to the Department of Defense, as successful acquisition could fund further developments and innovations.

The company’s involvement with the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense indicates strong government relationships, which could provide a reliable revenue stream. The expected procurement of SteraMist systems to decontaminate the Plum Island Animal Disease Center suggests endorsement and confidence in the technology.

Moreover, CES systems qualification by a multinational pharmaceutical company is a positive indicator of product reliability and market acceptance. Given the increasing demand in pharmaceuticals and healthcare, this could signal a growth trend. The revenue contribution from BIT solution tied to CES systems further suggests a recurring revenue model, beneficial for long-term stability.

Increased sales order activity and new contracts, such as the $600,000 CES installation in California, show that TOMI is gaining traction in its target market. Investors should note the expanding footprint, especially in high-demand sectors, as it reflects the capability to scale and adapt to market needs.

The recognition of TOMI’s SteraMist technology by government bodies such as the Department of Homeland Security is significant, underlining its efficacy and potential applications in critical environments. The inclusion in the Science and Technology Directorate Budget and the potential $2 million order underscore the technology’s credibility and adoption.

The qualification of CES systems by a major pharmaceutical company is crucial. These systems are significant consumers of the Binary Ionization Technology solution, creating a steady demand pipeline. It reflects growing confidence in TOMI’s products within the life sciences sector. This qualification can lead to increased usage in regulatory environments, boosting recurring revenue from consumables and services.

The focus on expanding government relationships and proposals for substantial grants like the $3,000,000 from the Department of Defense is strategic. It positions TOMI well within high-stakes, high-reliability markets, which can drive long-term growth and stability.

FREDERICK, Md., May 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.® (“TOMI”) (NASDAQ: TOMZ), a global company specializing in disinfection and decontamination utilizing its premier Binary Ionization Technology (BIT) platform through its SteraMist brand of products, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

TOMI Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Halden Shane, stated, “Although revenue was below expectation in the first quarter, we saw continued growth in our sales pipeline, as well as an increase in demand for our CES systems and iHP corporate service.   In addition to the $1,100,000 in sales for the quarter, our sales backlog at the end of the quarter was $900,000 which we expect will primarily be recognized in the second and third quarters of 2024. We’re seeing positive signs throughout the marketplace, particularly in the pharmaceuticals and healthcare sectors, where we’re seeing increased pipeline activity.  

“One of the notable wins in the first quarter was a notification from the Department of Homeland Security that our SteraMist technology has been included in their Science and Technology Directorate Budget overview. The department expects to purchase 16 SteraMist Environment Systems for the amount of approximately $2,000,000 to support the decontamination of the Plum Island Animal Disease Center.   In addition, TOMI has recently received notification from a U.S. based multinational pharmaceutical company that two of the Company’s CES systems, delivered in 2022, have finally been qualified for use. Additional CES systems operating in the marketplace is important for the positive long term growth and evolution of our business model as these systems tend to be meaningful consumers of our BIT solution.

“In the first quarter we continued to develop our government relationships. This quarter TOMI was invited to submit a proposal and apply to the Department of Defense to participate in a $3,000,000 grant in connection with mitigation of the residual effects of ethylene oxide. We recently submitted our proposal and are currently waiting for a decision.

“We are off to a solid start in 2024 and will continue to focus on executing our strategies to grow revenues, expand business development and deliver improved results and value for our shareholders,” Dr. Shane concluded.
