PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Schmitt Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMIT) (the "Company" or "Schmitt") today announced its operating results for the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2021. The operating results for the three months ended August 31, 2021 and August 30, 2020 include financial results from Schmitt's July 9, 2020 acquisition of Ample Hills Creamery ("Ample Hills").

Highlights of the three months ended August 31, 2021

  • Consolidated revenues increased $2,251,690, or 149.4%, to $3,759,175, for the three months ended August 31, 2021, as compared to $1,507,485 for the three months ended August 31, 2020.

  • Ice Cream Segment revenue increased $2,454,335, or 489.5%, to $2,955,755 for the three months ended August 31, 2021, as compared to $501,420 for the three months ended August 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of a partial quarter for the three months ended August 31, 2020, as the acquisition occurred on July 9, 2020. In addition, the Company opened an additional retail location on May 28, 2021.

  • Measurement Segment revenue decreased $202,644, or 20.1%, to $803,420 for the three months ended August 31, 2021 as compared to $1,006,065 for the three months ended August 31, 2020. The decrease is primarily driven by a decrease in Acuity and Xact product revenue of $110,223 and $123,076, respectively. The decline was offset by an increase in Xact monitoring revenue of $12,253, or 3.2%.

  • Gross margin increased to 64.1% for the three months ended August 31, 2021, as compared to the three months ended August 31, 2020 of 40.3%. The Company's margin was driven by improved performance in the Ice Cream Segment due to higher factory utilization and production efficiencies, as well as a product mix shift in the Measurement Segment.

  • Operating expenses increased $1,910,615, or 85.7%, to $4,139,951 for the three months ended August 31, 2021, as compared to $2,229,336 for the three months ended August 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of the Ample Hills business, acquired in July 2020.

  • Net loss was ($1,045,039), or ($0.28), per fully diluted share, for the three months ended August 31, 2021, compared to net income of $150,659 or $0.04 per fully diluted share, for the three months ended August 31, 2020. The Company's net loss for the three months ended August 31, 2021 included the forgiveness of a portion of the Company's Paycheck Protection Program Loan in the amount of $588,534. The Company's net income for the three months ended August 31, 2020 was impacted by the acquisition of Ample Hills, including the initial bargain purchase gain of $1,271, 615, recorded as a component of other income, and the income tax benefit of $253,238 on the consolidated statement of operations.

  • The Company finished the quarter ended August 31, 2021 with $2,725,643 in cash, as compared to $4,032,690 for the year ended May 31, 2021.

"This quarter marks Schmitt's first summer season with Ample Hills Creamery. Although there is still a COVID environment and some persistent overhangs, the Company has performed well and most importantly remained safe. This summer has provided a glimpse into the operating ability of the Company as margins and profitability improvements are seen in the retail and factory divisions. The factory equipment upgrades and co-packer volume have further supported the progress. On the retail side, the stores continue to perform well with our newest location, Prospect Park West, becoming our highest performing location. We look to continue this growth with selective future locations where we can continue to spread joy to our neighborhoods and further expand our unit economics."

"Our SMS Measurement segment has taken the past months to plan and prepare for new product launches that we expect to drive increased product sales. The constrained environment is proving to be more difficult than anticipated and the team is working multiple angles to grow our top line while maintaining our costs. We look forward to sharing more on the progress of our business units at the annual meeting later this year."

"From a cash management perspective, we had roughly $500k in one-time costs this quarter, spending aimed specifically at stabilizing our financial and IT system support structures. Further, we are moving forward on several fronts to ensure our growth plans remain on track, with our real estate as a main asset to be monetarized that provides the foundation for that growth. Although timing is uncertain, we continue to make progress on the sale of the 28th Avenue property."
