CVD EQUIPMENT - Graphen 100 mal stärker als Stahl

RONKONKOMA, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CVD Equipment Corporation (NASDAQ: CVV) announced a seventh consecutive profitable year.

On revenue of approximately $5,123,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 we achieved net earnings of $375,000 or $0.08 per basic and diluted share and on revenue of approximately $16,258,000 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 we achieved net earnings of $532,000 or $0.11 per basic and diluted share.

Revenue for fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 increased due to increasing demand for energy saving and energy generation materials and products needed to address rising energy costs. This creates a growing need for solutions using nanotechnology and thin film coatings on glass, wafers and other substrates or materials.

Gross profit margin for Q4, 2010 was 41.6%, raising the overall gross profit margin for fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 to 36.2%. This was accomplished through a combination of greater efficiencies in purchasing and labor on an increase in revenue, a trend we expect to continue.

Leonard Rosenbaum, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “2010 started slow but finished with a significant increase in order levels and revenue. Our quotation level continues to remain very high and with our backlog on December 31, 2010 of approximately $9.9M and our previous announcement of $9.3M in new orders in January, 2011, we expect 2011 to easily exceed all previous years in new orders, revenue and profit. Additionally, we believe this trend will continue in subsequent years. Our ability to work with customers to solve their process issues and define the equipment needed to meet their production needs will continue to provide significant order levels in both the near and long term. Our First Nano^TM -EasyTube^TM product line keeps us in the forefront of technology and continues to expand by serving University, Industrial and Government Research Laboratories and Startup companies throughout the world in fields such as Nanotubes (Carbon and Boron Nitride), Graphene, Nanowires (Zinc Oxide, Gallium Nitride, Silicon,) Solar Cells, MEM’s, Energy, Semiconductors and Light Emitting Diodes. Our Application Laboratory is providing research and the further implementation of our business plan to offer our assistance in accelerating the commercialization of the next generation products on CVD production equipment platforms. The Company will continue to expand our technology, products, customer base and revenues for 2011”.

Earnings release should be read in conjunction with Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2010

RONKONKOMA, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--(NASDAQ: CVV – News) CVD Equipment Corporation, a leading provider of custom chemical vapor deposition systems, today announced record Revenue, Income and Backlog.

Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $7,508,000 and $13,713,000 respectively, an increase of 122.1% and 93.1% over the $3,381,000 and $7,103,000 revenue achieved during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Income from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1,202,000 and $2,079,000 as compared to income of $126,000 and $73,000 respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Net Income of $778,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 resulted in earnings of $0.15 per share, basic and $0.14 per share diluted as compared with net income of $104,000 or $0.02 per share, basic and diluted for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Net income of $1,466,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 resulted in earnings of $0.29 per share, basic and $0.28 per share diluted compared to a net loss of ($30,000) or ($0.00) per share basic and diluted for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Backlog as of June 30, 2011 was $22,208,000. This record backlog is an increase of 376.2% from the backlog of $4,664,000, reported for June 30, 2010. In addition, the backlog has increased 123.3% from the backlog total of $9,944,000 that we reported for December 31, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we received approximately $24,700,000 in new orders. Timing for completion of the backlog varies depending on the product mix and can be as long as two years. Order backlog usually is a reasonable management tool to indicate future revenues and profits, however it does not provide an assurance of future achievement of revenues or profits as order cancellations or delays are possible. Backlog from quarter to quarter can vary based on the timing of order placements and shipments.

During the three month period ended June 30, 2011 we raised approximately $10,000,000 from the successful public offering of common stock. This capital will be used to further expand our operations to support the increased order levels and to explore additional growth opportunities.

Additionally, on August 5, 2011, we entered into a $7.0 million revolving credit line with HSBC Bank, USA at better terms than our previous $5 million line of credit with Capital One, N.A. which expired on August 1, 2011.

Leonard Rosenbaum, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “During the 1^st and 2^nd quarter we continued to convert into increased revenue and profits the higher backlog of orders we started receiving during the second half of 2010 and our backlog has continued to increase during both Q1 and Q2 in 2011 to record levels. In addition, a new order in Q2 included a new endeavor for a custom CVD production solution for a medical application. We continue seeing high quotation and order levels for the First Nano/CVD Division and thru our Application Laboratory, we are also continuing to find new opportunities for custom chemical vapor deposition solutions as well as their usage in manufacturing of Graphene films, Silicon Nanowires and a range of nano materials that address solar, energy generation and energy storage markets”.
