RAMAT GAN, Israel, Sept. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Senstar Technologies (NASDAQ: SNT), a leading international provider of comprehensive physical, video, and access control security products and solutions, today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Management will hold an investors’ conference call later today (at 10 a.m. Eastern Time) to discuss the results.
Business Highlights (all comparisons are for Q2 2022 versus Q2 2021):
- Second quarter revenue was $9.1 million compared with $10.1 million.
- Cost of goods sold and operating expenses increased primarily due to the absence of Canadian subsidies that the Company received in Q2 2021 and the global increase in material costs.
- Net income from continuing operations was $0.4 million compared to $0.7 million.
- EBITDA was $0.5 million compared with $2.5 million.
- Cash and cash equivalents of $17.9 million, or $0.77 per share, and zero debt as of June 30, 2022.
Mr. Dror Sharon, Chief Executive Officer of Senstar Technologies, stated, “To date in 2022, we have closed several large projects in our key verticals. Due to a number of factors, new business is taking longer to close, particularly in the U.S., where many projects are tied to federal funding. As a result, second-quarter revenue declined by 10% to $9.1 million. Importantly, we have not lost business, and we continue to expect awards in our favor in the coming months. Subsidies received in the second quarter of 2021 from the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy program of approximately $0.6 million expired in the third quarter of 2021 and made for a challenging year-over-year comparison of cost of goods sold and operating expenses. Additionally, cost of goods sold were impacted by higher prices, despite our mitigating some of the increase by raising prices. We expect a more normalized run rate of expenses going forward.
“For the remainder of 2022, our pipeline is robust with several large orders in the process of closing, and we continue to win significant contracts in the energy vertical, as well as critical infrastructure and logistics,” continued Mr. Sharon. “EMEA and APAC are strong regions where we have closed new business in critical infrastructure, energy, and logistics. New solutions like our Sensor Fusion Engine and FiberPatrol sensor detection are gaining industry attention and will be future growth drivers on top of new products that will be launched in the next few months. We see good business momentum for the remainder of 2022 and anticipate improved gross and EBITDA margins in the remainder of 2022.”
Second Quarter 2022 Results Summary
Revenue for the second quarter of 2022 was $9.1 million, a decrease of 9.7% compared with $10.1 million in the second quarter of 2021. Second quarter gross profit was $5.5 million, or 60.0% of revenue, compared with $7.1 million, or 69.8% of revenue. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to our receipt of subsidies from the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy program in the second quarter of 2021, a portion of which was allocated to cost of goods sold. These funds were not distributed in 2022. Gross margin was also impacted by higher costs and a shift in the mix of products sold during the quarter.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were $5.4 million, an increase of 11.2% compared to the prior year’s second quarter operating expenses of $4.8 million. The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to the termination of the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy program in 2021, which program provided subsidies, a portion of which was allocated to operating expenses in the second quarter of 2021, as well as an increase in travel and sales-related expenses compared to the 2021 period.
Operating income was $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2021.
Financial expense was $0.1 million compared to $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2021.
Income from continuing operations was $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $0.7 million in the year-ago quarter.
Net income in the second quarter of 2022 was $0.2 million or $0.01 per share versus $11.8 million, or $0.51 per share in the second quarter of last year. Net income in the 2021 period includes net income from discontinued operations of $11.1 million.
EBITDA from continuing operations for the second quarter was $0.5 million versus $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2021.
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of June 30, 2022, were $17.9 million, or $0.77 per share, compared with $26.4 million, or $1.13 per share, at December 31, 2021. The decline in cash and cash equivalents reflects the significant reduction in other accounts payable and accrued expenses and increased inventories and accounts receivable.
