Brooklyn, NY, June 24, 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 second quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020 was $9.3 million and $12.1 million, respectively, a decrease of 24%. Revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020 was $18.1 million and $24.3, respectively, a decrease of 26%. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to shutdowns and limited operations of businesses due to the COVID-19 crisis. The Advanced Technologies segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021, decreased by 11% to $5.5 million, and the Industrial Services segment revenues for quarter decreased by 36%, to $3.8 million.
Gross Profit for the second quarter of 2021 was $3.9 million, or 42% of revenues as compared to gross profit of $5.3 million, or 44% of revenues for the year ago period. Gross profit decreased due to lower sales and varies from product to product and from customer to customer.
Total operating expenses for three months ended March 31, 2021 were $5.9 million, compared to $5.9 million in the prior year’s quarter.
Operating activities for continuing operations used $2.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to using $1.4 million of cash for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $2.5 million, as compared to a net loss of $1.6 million in 2020. Net income increased in the second quarter as compared to the same period last year primarily due to other income items including a one-time settlement agreement and unrealized gains on marketable securities.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $15.6 million at March 31, 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 second quarter of 2021 we continued to see a weakness due to COVID-19 which affected our overall business. Looking ahead we continue to focus on driving top line growth as markets return to normal and spending returns. We continue to further develop our product lines, with ongoing R&D in our 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. We believe with ongoing investments in our core technologies and a rebounding economy, we continue to be well positioned for a return to growth that will create long term value for our shareholders,” concluded Govil.
