Nanalysis Reports First Quarter 2023 ResultsCALGARY, AB, May 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Nanalysis Scientific Corp. ("the Company", TSXV: NSCI, OTCQX: NSCIF, FRA: 1N1), a leader in portable NMR machines and MRI technology for industrial and research applications, releases its first quarter results ending March 31, 2023. Chief Executive Officer, Sean Krakiwsky and Chief Financial Officer, Randall McRae will host a conference call at 5 P.M. Eastern Time today to discuss the results. The second call for European investors at 8:30am ET, tomorrow, Friday, May 26 has been cancelled since Mr. Krakiwsky will be conducting meetings in person. "Nanalysis reported consolidated revenue of $4,674K for the first quarter of 2023," said Sean Krakiwsky Founder and CEO of Nanalysis. "We planned and expected K'Prime's CATSA airport security contract and Quad's revenue to be modest in the quarter as those business lines are in the early stage of roll out, but we underperformed on the rest of our business segment revenues, particularly in Benchtop NMR. Management is not satisfied with this overall financial result and has taken corrective action as identified below. That being said, I remain confident about the Company's prospects and long term vision." Financial and Operational Highlights1 Financial highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2023:
Recent strategic and operational highlights during and after the first quarter of 2023 include:
Comments and Outlook "The first quarter was busy with focus on training and rolling out of the CATSA project," said Sean Krakiwsky, Founder and CEO of Nanalysis. "We have hired and trained nearly 92% of the workforce needed and we are servicing over 50% of contracted airports now, with all locations coming online by September. Additionally, we are already fielding requests for additional service contracts." "We continue to innovate and improve our core benchtop NMR products with added features and functionality. Lastly, we are excited to add High Field product offerings through our launch and collaboration with Quad Systems AG," added Mr. Krakiwsky. "Despite Q1 revenues not meeting our expectations, I continue to believe that 2023 will be a positive and important year for Nanalysis as we digest our acquisitions and progress in creating long-term value from our more resilient business," said Sean Krakiwsky. "We continue to be a leader in benchtop NMR and believe we will continue to hold that position through innovation and improvements to our technologies." "We expect to provide solid growth with services and products working synergistically together, as high field NMR, MRI, and benchtop NMR all require global service support. We are striving to reduce the lumpiness of our revenue quarter to quarter, and we feel like we are much better positioned to withstand any macroeconomic headwinds that may arise. Out of an abundance of caution, and in light of possible global economic slowdown, the Company has begun a cost reduction program, which will continue until headwinds subside. I have full confidence that the medium and long-term business prospects for our Company remain very attractive, and therefore our cost reductions will have a stay-the-course nature to them, and only be meant to conserve cash in light of potential lower short-term growth numbers," concluded Mr. Krakiwsky.
