CVD Achieves Record 2015 Revenue and Earnings
CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y., (Business Wire) – March 30, 2016 – CVD Equipment Corporation (NASDAQ: CVV), a leading provider of chemical vapor deposition systems, today announced its full year 2015 financial results.
For the full year, revenue rose 39.2% to a record-breaking $39.0 million compared to $28.0 million for 2014. Operating income was $4.6 million compared to an operating loss of $3.8 million in the prior period. Excluding the one-time $1.6 million and $6.8 million in litigation settlements (including legal fees) for 2015 and 2014, operating income for 2015 was $6.2 million compared with $3.0 million for 2014. Net income was a record $3.2 million, or $0.51 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $2.5 million, or $0.40 per diluted share for 2014.
“In 2015, revenues reached their highest levels in the Company’s history with strong contributions from our two primary markets, aerospace and medical,” said Leonard Rosenbaum, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continued to execute on the largest projects in the Company’s history with a leading US supplier of aircraft engines and are awaiting a final decision on follow-on business for their multi-unit program. In 2016, we plan to further diversify our business by leveraging our existing products and customer base and targeting new markets and key accounts as we position CVD for future growth and profitability.”
New orders for 2015 were $24.0 million compared to $45.0 million in 2014. This bookings level, along with the execution of our beginning backlog, resulted in a backlog of $6.1 million at December 31, 2015 down from $21.1 million at December 31, 2014. The decline in bookings and backlog was primarily due to focusing a majority of the Company’s resources on the successful completion of the significant projects in the aviation market and the timing of potential follow-on orders from that customer. The Company’s order and backlog levels from period to period tend to be uneven as the selling process is protracted and involves many facets of our customers’ business.
The Company will hold a conference call to discuss its results today at 4:30 pm (Eastern Time).
