Pitihän tätä vilkaista hyvin pikaisesti. MIND:llä vaikuttaisi olevan kolme kvartaalia armonaikaa maksaa takautuvasti rästiin jääneet osingot etuoikeutetuille MINDP osakkeille (kurssi nyt 6,5$, osinko 0,563$/osake) tai osakkeenomistajat saavat nimetä kaksi jäsentä hallitukseen. Tammikuussa taitaa olla jo kolmet osingot rästissä ja osinkoa maksettu viimeksi 13.4.2022). Alla olevassa tekstissä tj vakuuttelee, että tilauksia on tulossa, mutta niin varmaan suurin osa toimitusjohtajista sanoisi, jos on pienikin mahdollisuus, että niin voi käydä. Backlog on tekstin mukaan 19.3 miljoonaa$ syyskuun osarissa, tappio per osake pieneni 0,20$/osake ja liikevaihto nousi +28% 8,7 miljoonaan$ edellisestä kvartaalista. Marketcap on 7,8 miljoonaa$. Kovin riskiseltä treidiltä/sijoitukselta vaikuttaa ja osakkeella on iso spreadi pienellä vaihdolla, mutta jos investoinnit energiasektoriin jostain syystä alkaisivat vetämään, niin firma voinee selvitä. Jokunen tilaus näytti tulleenkin.
"THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Sept. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ – MIND Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIND) (“MIND” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2023 second quarter ended July 31, 2022.
Revenues from Marine Technology Products sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 were $8.7 million, up 28% compared to $6.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The Company reported a net loss from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 of approximately $1.8 million compared to a net loss of $2.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Second quarter of fiscal 2023 net loss from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders was $0.20 per share compared to a net loss of $0.25 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was a loss of $1.0 million compared to a loss of $1.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, which is a non-GAAP measure, is defined and reconciled to reported net loss from continuing operations and cash provided by operating activities in the accompanying financial tables. These are the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
Backlog of Marine Technology Products as of July 31, 2022, was approximately $19.3 million compared to $13.4 million at April 30, 2022 and $11.7 million at July 31, 2021.
Rob Capps, MIND’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We were pleased with our second quarter results, with revenues coming in 28% higher than the second quarter of last year. These revenues were in line with our expectations and were comparable to our first quarter revenues of approximately $9.1 million. We feel that the higher level of revenue that we’ve generated in the first half of this year is an indication of our revenue potential on an ongoing basis. As we have discussed previously, we see robust interest, improved customer optimism, increased order flow and backlog. Based on these factors, we expect revenue in the second half of fiscal 2023 to exceed that of the first half.
"Despite slightly lower revenue in the second quarter as compared to the first, our operating loss improved to approximately $1.6 million as compared to approximately $2.5 million in the previous quarter. We saw improved gross margins, lower selling, general and administrative expenses and lower research and development expense.
"We remain encouraged by the underlying market conditions that surround our business. The sustained global energy prices we are seeing continue to drive increased activity among our marine seismic and exploration customers, as evidenced by recent and pending order activity. In addition to the firm backlog of orders, we are experiencing significant inquiries from our exploration and survey customers, particularly for source controller and high-resolution seismic streamer systems. Due to lead times for certain components, we are encouraging customers to place orders for fiscal 2024 deliveries as early as possible to ensure an appropriate place in our production queue. We believe some of our recent orders for sonar systems are directly associated with the current geopolitical climate, namely the security concerns in Europe. Although we’re pleased with these orders and the inquiry levels that we’ve seen to date, we remain focused on continuing to leverage our growing product offerings to take advantage of opportunities in this improved market.
“As we look ahead to the second half of the year, we expect improved results when compared to the first half. While the timing of orders remains variable, which may result in a sequential drop in the third quarter, we expect to more than make up for it in the fourth quarter. Given the current state of our backlog and anticipated deliveries before year end, we expect to generate meaningfully higher revenue and positive income from continuing operations in the fourth quarter,” concluded Capps."
