First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y., (Business Wire) – May 13, 2025 - CVD Equipment Corporation (NASDAQ: CVV), today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Manny Lakios, President and CEO of CVD Equipment Corporation, stated, “First quarter 2025 revenue was $8.3 million, up 69.0% versus the prior year quarter and up 12.2% from the fourth quarter of 2024. Revenue from our CVD Equipment segment was driven by revenue recognized principally from two contracts, one in the industrial market and one in aerospace. Our SDC segment continued to see strong demand for its gas delivery equipment.”
Mr. Lakios added, “With the increased revenue and lower than expected orders in the quarter of $2.8 million, our backlog declined during the quarter from $19.4 million at December 31, 2024 to $13.8 million at March 31, 2025. Our net income for the quarter was $360,000. While the first quarter of 2025 represents the third consecutive quarter of net income, due to the nature of our business we expect that our order and revenue levels will continue to fluctuate given the markets we serve. In addition, the recent imposition of tariffs has presented us with new challenges and uncertainty as such tariffs may affect our costs of components and materials as well as contribute to economic uncertainty which may potentially affect our order rate. We are evaluating the tariff environment and planning accordingly. We are staying the course on our strategic efforts to maintain and grow our order rate, while carefully managing our expenses to achieve our goal of long-term profitability and positive cash flow, while simultaneously focusing on growth and return on investment.”
FirstQuarter 2025 Financial Performance
| ● | Revenue<br> of $8.3 million, up $3.4 million or 69.0% year over year primarily due to higher system revenues and higher sales of parts and spares<br> in our CVD Equipment segment. |
|---|---|
| ● | Gross<br> profit margin was 32.4%, an improvement from 16.2% in the prior year quarter that was primarily the result of overall higher revenues,<br> improved absorption of overhead as well as improved margins on contracts in progress as compared to contracts in progress in the<br> prior year quarter. |
| ● | Operating<br> income of $269,000. |
| ● | Net<br> income of $360,000 million or $0.05 basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million or $(0.22) per basic and diluted<br> share for the prior year first quarter. |
| ● | Cash<br> and cash equivalents of $10.2 million as of March 31, 2025, as compared to $12.6 million as of December 31, 2024. |

FirstQuarter 2025 Operational Performance

|---|---|
| ● | In<br> early April 2025, we received a $1.2 million semiconductor system order in our CVD Equipment segment. |
