COLUMBUS, OH / ACCESS Newswire / August 1, 2025 / SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. ("SCI" or "Company") (OTCQB:SCIA), today reported financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Jeremy Young, President and Chief Executive Officer, said "We continued to address weak market conditions during the second quarter and adapted to those challenges by focusing on areas of our business we can control. As a result, gross margin improved and operating expenses were similar for the first six months and second quarter of 2025 compared to the same periods last year."
Mr. Young added, "Two new products were launched in the second quarter of 2025, including an indium tin oxide product that offers customers total cost of ownership benefits and addresses increased interest in domestic manufacturing. The second one is a rotatable target which can be produced up to three meters in length. SCI has a patent for the bonding process of this product and this configuration enables customers to achieve higher utilization of the target's surface. We also recently ordered additional equipment to increase our rotatable manufacturing footprint."
Revenue
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $7,109,536 versus $13,935,805 for the same period last year. Factors which contributed to the year-over-year decrease included product mix, lower raw material costs and lower volume. For the second quarter of 2025, revenue decreased to $3,609,304 from $5,532,710 a year ago due to product mix and lower volume.
Order backlog was $3.4 million at June 30, 2025, versus $2.9 million on the same date last year and $2.5 million at March 31, 2025.
Gross profit
Gross profit of $2,230,971 for the first half of 2025 was 20% below $2,794,055 a year ago due to lower volume and lower raw material costs. For the second quarter of 2025, gross profit decreased 16% to $1,158,157 from $1,378,939 for the same period last year due to lower volume.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses totaled $1,572,625 for six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1,590,589 a year ago. Higher professional fees, consulting services, staff, and compensation expenses in the first half of this year were more than offset by lower R&D expense for research materials and supplies. For the second quarter of 2025, operating expenses were $802,350 versus $793,741 the prior year. Increased staff and compensation expenses for the 2025 period were primarily offset by lower R&D expense.
Net interest income
Net interest income increased approximately 17% to $213,810 for the first half of 2025 from $183,517 a year ago. For the second quarter of 2025, net interest income increased 20% to $115,680 versus $96,461 for the same period in 2024. Both periods in 2025 benefited from higher cash and cash equivalents plus investment in marketable securities.
Income taxes
Income tax expense decreased 37% to $197,980 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $315,153 a year ago. For the second quarter of 2025, income tax expense decreased 31% to $107,028 from $155,153 for the same period last year. The Company's effective tax rate was 22.7% for the first six months of 2025 and 2024. For the second quarters of 2025 and 2024, the effective tax rate was 22.7% and 22.8%, respectively.
Net income
Net income was $674,176 for the first six months of 2025 compared to $1,071,830 a year ago. For the second quarter of 2025, net income was $364,459 versus $526,506 last year. Lower gross profit for the six month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2025, was partially offset by lower income tax expense and higher net interest income. Net income per diluted share was $0.15 for the first six months of 2025 versus $0.23 in 2024, and $0.08 compared to $0.12 for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents were $7,970,668 at June 30, 2025, an increase of 18% compared to $6,753,403 at December 31, 2024. The Company's investment in marketable securities was $3,249,000 at June 30, 2025, versus $2,758,478 at 2024 year-end, an 18% increase.
Debt outstanding
The Company had no debt outstanding at June 30, 2025, or December 31, 2024, respectively.
