Brooklyn, NY, Aug. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- - Cemtrex Inc. (NASDAQ: CETX, CETXP, CETXW), a technology company driving innovation in Internet of Things (IoT), security, machine vision & artificial intelligence, and augmented & virtual reality, has reported its financial and operational results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020 was $10.3 million and $8.4 million, respectively, an increase of 22%. This increase is mainly due to an improvement in economic conditions from the impact of the COVID-19 crisis during the same period last year. Revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020 was $28.4 million and $32.8, respectively, a decrease of 13%. The Advanced Technologies segment revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021, increased by 17% to $5.8 million, and the Industrial Services segment revenues for quarter increased by 29%, to $4.5 million.

Gross Profit for the third quarter of 2021 was $4.1 million, or 40% of revenues as compared to gross profit of $3.3 million, or 39% of revenues for the year ago period. Gross profit increased due to higher sales and varied from product to product and from customer to customer.

Total operating expenses for three months ended June 30, 2021, were $6.4 million, compared to $5.7 million in the prior year’s quarter.

Operating activities for continuing operations used $6.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to using $3.4 million of cash for the nine months ended June 30, 2020.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $1.1 million, as compared to a net loss of $4.2 million in 2020. Net income increased in the third quarter as compared to the same period last year primarily due to overall economic improvement from the impact of the COVID-19 crisis during the same period last year and the result of PPP Loan forgiveness.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $12.9 million at June 30, 2021, as compared to $15.9 million at December 31, 2020 and $19.5 million at September 30, 2020.

Management Commentary

Cemtrex’s Chairman and CEO, Saagar Govil, commented on the results: “In the third quarter of 2021 we continued to see a renewed improvement in our segments, with revenue for the quarter up 12% sequentially from the second quarter. We remain optimistic that our revenue will continue to trend upward as the economic uncertainty due to the pandemic recedes.”

“Throughout the year we have striven to remain at the forefront of innovation by continuing to invest in the development of our roadmap including Advanced Technologies Segment’s proprietary technology, including Virtual Reality solutions, SmartDesk, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) based, next generation solutions associated with security and surveillance systems software. While we experienced some delays due to the pandemic, we believe that as we continue to roll out our exciting new products and solutions over the next year that our outlook remains positive.”

“Despite the challenges of the pandemic, we believe this focus on the evolution of our core technologies, and a commitment to driving top line growth, has put us in a strong position as our market returns to normal and customers reopen for business and resume purchasing.”
