Cyanotech Reports Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2021

Cyanotech Corporation (Nasdaq Capital Market: CYAN), a world leader in microalgae-based, high-value nutrition and health dietary supplement products, announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2021, ended March 31, 2021.

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

“Net sales increased slightly over the prior year, however, gross profit was negatively impacted by higher spirulina costs per kilo driven by lower production volumes. We generated $2.4 million in cash from operations, deleveraged the balance sheet by $1.7 million, and increased our capital investments including the installation of a new tablet press.

“During the fourth quarter, we launched new labels for both our BioAstin® Hawaiian Astaxanthin® and Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica® products. The new labels were well received in the marketplace.

“The coronavirus ("COVID-19”) pandemic has caused volatility in global markets. Our Company was declared an essential business in Hawaii and California, and we have remained open at full operations. We want to thank the team for their commitment to Cyanotech during a period of uncertainty.”

Fiscal Year 2021

Cyanotech reported net sales of $32,345,000 for fiscal 2021 compared to $31,899,000 in fiscal 2020, an increase of 1.4%. Gross profit was $11,117,000, with gross profit margin of 34.4%, compared to gross profit of $12,700,000 and gross profit margin of 39.8%. Gross profit was negatively impacted by product mix and higher spirulina costs per kilo driven by lower production volumes in the current fiscal year. Operating income was $84,000 compared to operating income of $1,053,000.

Net income was $920,000 or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to net income of $387,000 or $0.06 per diluted share with the increase due to the forgiveness of the loan under the Paycheck Protection Program in the amount of $1,389,000, including accrued interest of $8,000.

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2021

Cyanotech reported net sales of $9,438,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to $8,634,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, an increase of 9.3%. Gross profit was $2,771,000, with gross profit margin of 29.4%, compared to gross profit of $3,084,000 and gross profit margin of 35.7% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Operating loss was $24,000 compared to operating income of $228,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Net loss was $200,000, or ($0.03) per diluted share, compared to net income of $121,000, or $0.01 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
