GENCOR RELEASES THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2022 RESULTS

August 12, 2022 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) - Gencor Industries, Inc. (the "Company" or "Gencor") (NYSE American: GENC) announced today net revenues of $29.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to $24.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Gross margins for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 were 19.2% compared with 22.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Higher manufacturing costs associated with wages, steel, and purchased parts continued to impact the Company's operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Product engineering and development expenses decreased $0.2 million to $1.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, primarily related to reduced payroll. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased by $0.6 million to $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $3.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in SG&A expenses was due to reduced headcount and lower professional fees.

Operating income increased from $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 to $2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to increased sales and reduced SG&A expenses and product engineering and development expenses.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company had net non-operating expense of $(3.4) million compared to net non-operating income of $1.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The fiscal 2022 investment losses reflect the decline in the equity markets due to primarily to higher interest rates, inflation, and the Federal Reserve's recent monetary tightening policy.

The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was a benefit of 18.0% versus expense of 20.0% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was $(1.0) million, or $(0.07) per diluted share, compared with a net income of $2.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2022 the Company had net revenue of $80.4 million and net loss of $(0.9) million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, versus net revenue of $65.2 million and net income of $6.2 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2021.

At June 30, 2022, the Company had $110.6 million of cash and marketable securities compared to $118.2 million at September 30, 2021. Net working capital was $153.3 million at June 30, 2022. The Company had no short-term or long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2022.

The Company's backlog was $40.2 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $28.5 million at June 30, 2021.

Marc Elliott, Gencor's President, commented, "Our sales were up across the board in the fiscal third quarter and for the nine months, when compared to similar periods in fiscal year 2021. Despite delays in Federal highway funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) that were expected to begin in 2022, overall, Gencor delivered another solid quarter from operations, under a challenging business environment. Revenues increased 19% in the quarter due to the seasonally high backlog, and steel prices remained at record high levels in the quarter, but showed signs of moderating. Labor constraints, supply chain and freight challenges continue to persist as we work to minimize the impact on our customers. We continue to see strong interest across all our product lines and are optimistic that Gencor will benefit from the Federal infrastructure bill."

Gencor Industries, Inc. is a diversified heavy machinery manufacturer for the production of highway construction materials and equipment and environmental control machinery and equipment used in a variety of applications.
