First Quarter Fiscal 2021

Cyanotech reported net sales of $7,352,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $8,071,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

Commenting on the first quarter fiscal 2021 results (changes shown vs. the first quarter of fiscal 2020), Cyanotech’s Chief Executive Officer, Gerald R. Cysewski, Ph.D., said:

 

“Given the challenges brought forth by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, both internally to the company and externally to our community, partners, vendors and customers, we are pleased that the company is able to report stable and profitable financial performance for the quarter.”

 

Providing further detail about the fiscal results, Cyanotech’s Chief Financial Officer, Brian B. Orlopp, added:

 

“Gross profit margins decrease in the current year, primarily due to sales product mix, such that packaged sales decreased $1,440,000, or 22.1%, while bulk sales increased $542,000, or 38.5%. Operating income for the first quarter was $268,000 compared to $49,000 last year.”

 

“In May, we obtained a loan of $1.4 million pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act in order to preserve financial flexibility in light of the current uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.”

 

Trailing Twelve Months

For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2019, net sales were $31,179,000 compared to $31,128,000.
