The conference call will begin today, Friday, May 7, 2021, at 8:30 am EDT. To access the conference call, please dial (323) 289-6576 or (800) 437-2398.

The historical roots of inTEST serve the inherently cyclical semiconductor market. In addition, we also serve a number of diversified growth markets for our precision equipment. As the cornerstone of inTEST, the semiconductor market (Semi Market) is an important component of our business. Complementing this market is our ‘Non-Semi’ market, which is referred to as ‘Multimarket.’ ‘Multimarket’ represents our diversification and refers to any markets other than the semiconductor market. This stems from our strategic objective of growing our business in non-semiconductor markets both organically as well as through acquisition. It is important to note that business within our Thermal segment can fall into either ‘Semi’ or ‘Multimarket,’ depending upon how our customers utilize our products or upon their respective applications.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also disclose non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures consist of adjusted net earnings (loss), adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share, EBITDA, net earnings excluding restructuring and other non-recurring charges and net earnings excluding restructuring and other non-recurring charges per diluted share. Adjusted net earnings (loss) is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, adjusted for the related income tax expense (benefit), to net earnings (loss). Adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share is derived by dividing adjusted net earnings (loss) by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. EBITDA is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation to net earnings (loss). Net earnings per diluted share excluding restructuring and other non-recuring charges is derived by adding restructuring and other charges and other non-recurring charges, both tax effected, to net earnings (loss) and net earnings excluding restructuring and other non-recurring charges per diluted share is derived by dividing net earnings excluding restructuring and other non-recurring charges by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. These results are provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net earnings (loss), adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures presented to provide investors with meaningful, supplemental information regarding our baseline performance before acquired intangible amortization charges as this expense may not be indicative of our current core business or future outlook. Net earnings excluding restructuring and other non-recuring charges and net earnings excluding restructuring and other non-recurring charges per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures presented to provide investors with meaningful, supplemental information regarding our baseline performance before restructuring and other non-recurring charges as these restructuring and other non-recurring charges may not be indicative of our current core business or future outlook. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to make operational decisions, to forecast future operational results, and for comparison with our business plan, historical operating results and the operating results of our peers. Reconciliations from net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per diluted share to adjusted net earnings (loss) and adjusted net earnings (loss) per diluted share, from net earnings (loss) to EBITDA and from net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per diluted share to net earnings excluding restructuring and other non-recurring charges and net earnings excluding restructuring and other non-recurring charges per diluted share, which are discussed in this Supplemental Information, are contained in the tables below. The non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this Supplemental Information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures or information provided in accordance with GAAP.

First quarter 2021 gross margin was $9.5 million, or 48.7%, as compared with $6.7 million, or 45.2%, in the fourth quarter. The improvement in the gross margin percentage was primarily the result of a more favorable absorption of our $2.5 million in fixed manufacturing costs, which represented 13% of net revenues in Q1 2021 compared to 17% of net revenues in Q4 2020. This improvement was partially offset by an increase in our component material costs of 110 basis points in the first quarter, driven by changes in product and customer mix.

Results of Operations Highlights

 

Selling expense increased by 23% sequentially to $2.4 million for the first quarter. The $441,000 increase was driven primarily by higher levels of commission expense in our EMS segment. To a lesser extent, there were also increases in salary & benefit costs as well as higher levels of product warranty accruals.

 

First quarter engineering and product development expense increased 6% sequentially to $1.3 million. The $77,000 increase was driven by a number of increased expense items including benefits, employer payroll taxes, and product development materials.

 

General and administrative expense increased 8% sequentially to $3.2 million in the first quarter. The $242,000 increase was driven primarily by profit related bonus accruals and to a lesser extent, increased stock-based compensation costs.

 

Restructuring and other charges were $55,000 in the first quarter compared to $1.1 million in the fourth quarter. The first quarter restructuring charge was related the consolidation of the manufacturing operations of our EMS segment. The fourth quarter restructuring charges were driven primarily by costs associated with the restructuring and consolidation of the manufacturing operations of our EMS Products segment, which totaled $889,000, as well as costs related to a reduction in our Mansfield, MA facility of $189,000. These restructuring and other charges as well as other non-recurring costs are highlighted in the Summary of Non-Recurring Costs that appears later in this Supplemental Information.

 

Other income was $2,000 in the first quarter compared to $30,000 in the fourth quarter. Our fourth quarter other income included gains on sale of fixed assets and foreign exchange gains, while our first quarter other income did not include any gains on sale and reflected foreign exchange losses.

 

We booked income tax expense of $366,000 in the first quarter, reflecting a 14% effective tax rate. This compares to an income tax benefit of $(74,000) accrued in the fourth quarter, which reflected an effective tax rate of 16%. We currently expect that our effective tax rate for the balance of 2021 will range from 14% to 16%.

 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we had net earnings of $2.2 million or $0.21 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(380,000) or $(0.04) per diluted share for the fourth quarter. Our first quarter results included restructuring and other charges of $55,000, which when tax effected amounted to $47,000 or less than a penny per diluted share. Excluding these non-recurring costs, our first quarter net earnings would have been $2.3 million or $0.21 per diluted share. Our fourth quarter results included non-recurring charges of $1.3 million, which included the $1.1 million in restructuring and other charges previously discussed, and when tax effected these costs amounted to $1.1 million or $0.11 per share. Excluding these non-recurring costs, our fourth quarter net earnings would have been $693,000 or $0.07 per diluted share (Non-GAAP).

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 10,525,826 for the first quarter of 2021. We issued 81,468 shares of restricted stock and had no forfeitures of shares of restricted stock and we did not repurchase any shares during the first quarter of 2021. During the first quarter of 2021, we had 99,740 option shares exercised and raised $717,000 in cash from those exercises during the quarter.

 

Depreciation expense was $156,000 for the first quarter (unchanged from the fourth quarter), while acquired intangible amortization was $304,000 (essentially unchanged from $306,000 for the fourth quarter). Stock-based compensation expense was $269,000 for the first quarter of 2021 (compared to $191,000 for the fourth quarter). The increase in stock-based compensation expense was driven by the Q1 2021 issuances of restricted stock and options at much higher prices per share than our historical stock-based compensation awards.

 

EBITDA increased from $12,000 for the fourth quarter to $3.0 million reported for the first quarter.

 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

 

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first quarter were $10.2 million, down $82,000 or 1% from December 31, 2020. During the quarter we had in cash flow used in operations of $337,000. Today cash stands at $12.0 million. We currently expect cash and cash equivalents to increase throughout 2021 before the impacts of any acquisition related activities.

 

In early April 2021, we increased the amount of our revolving credit facility from $7.5 million to $10.0 million and extended the term of the revolver from 364 days to 3 years. The increase in term also included the implementation of a 15 basis-point non-usage fee.

 

Accounts receivable increased $5.1 million or 60% sequentially to $13.5 million at March 31, 2021 with 62 DSO.

 

Inventories increased $736,000 or 10% sequentially to $8.2 million at March 31, 2021, which corresponded to 105 days of inventory.

 

Capital expenditures during the first quarter were $388,000, up from $138,000 in the fourth quarter. Included in the first quarter capital expenditures was $267,000 for tenant improvements to our Mt. Laurel, NJ facility related to our EMS facility consolidation, which essentially completed these tenant improvements.

 

The backlog at the end of March was $17.1 million, up $5.7 million or 49% from $11.5 million at December 31, 2020.
