inTEST Reports Record $123.3 Million in Revenue and Net Income of $9.3 Million for Full Year 2023

  • 2023 revenue increased 6% year-over-year while net income grew 10%
  • Demonstrated strong operational cash flow: generated $4.7 million in cash from operations in the fourth quarter and a record $16.2 million for the year
  • Market diversification provided strength in sales for the year supported by growth in defense/aerospace, industrial, security and life sciences markets
  • Fourth quarter orders improved 2% over the prior quarter driven by defense/aerospace and industrial markets
  • Expects 2024 revenue to range from $145 million to $155 million including the acquisition of Alfamation

inTEST Corporation (NYSE American: INTT), a global supplier of innovative test and process technology solutions for use in manufacturing and testing in key target markets which include automotive/EV, defense/aerospace, industrial, life sciences, security, and semiconductor (“semi”), today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023.

“The effective execution of our 5-Point Strategy continues to drive strong results as we delivered a second consecutive year of record revenue while also achieving net income of $9.3 million, the highest level in more than a decade,” commented Nick Grant, President and CEO. “inTEST’s strategy drives innovation, deeper penetration into target markets, geographic expansion and attracts top talent. In 2023, we made good progress at key accounts and strengthened channel relationships throughout the U.S., Europe, Latin America and the Asia Pacific region. We also announced a new Center of Excellence in Malaysia for applications engineering, product development and localized manufacturing that will support all divisions and better serve customers in Southeast Asia. This increasing diversification proved fundamental to the strength of our 2023 results as growing demand from industrial and defense/aerospace markets helped to offset the widely reported weakness in the semiconductor market. Our efforts are resulting in a larger, more diverse customer base positioning inTEST well for further growth.”

Mr. Grant added, “The recent acquisition of Alfamation, which we announced on March 12, 2024, is further proof of the progress we are making on our 5-Point Strategy. The acquisition adds significant test and automation capabilities, broadens geographic and key market presence while also providing measurable scale to the Electronic Test division. The team will continue to drive organic growth initiatives while pursuing highly complementary acquisitions such as Alfamation.”

Compared with the prior-year period, fourth quarter revenue was down primarily due to $8.7 million in lower sales to the semi market. This was partially offset by a 171%, or $3.7 million, increase in sales to the industrial market, a 42%, or $1.2 million, increase in sales to the auto/EV market and an 11%, or $0.2 million, increase in the defense/aerospace market. Sequentially, industrial revenue was up 141% and auto/EV sales were up 124%.

Gross margin was 44.6% in the fourth quarter, a 160-basis point contraction compared with the prior-year period primarily due to lower volume and product mix. Operating expenses increased primarily because of $0.4 million of incremental corporate development expenses, which were somewhat offset by lower selling costs and expense management.

With the benefit of other income in the quarter of $0.6 million, net earnings were $1.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share.

2023 Summary

Full year revenue was a record $123.3 million, up 6%, or $6.5 million, over the prior year. Growth was driven primarily by $5.5 million higher sales to the defense/aerospace market, as well as a $4.3 million increase in sales to the industrial market.

Gross profit for the year increased 7% to $57.0 million reflecting the impact of higher volume, favorable mix as well as ongoing cost and pricing actions. Gross margin expanded 50 basis points to 46.2%. Operating income was down 3% to $10.4 million and net earnings increased 10% to $9.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) was down 1% to $15.8 million.

Net earnings benefitted from higher cash balances and interest rates resulting in other income of $1.3 million. On a per diluted share basis, net earnings were up 1% to $0.79 compared with $0.78 in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (Non-GAAP)1 were $0.94 compared with $0.99 in 2022.

Significant Financial Flexibility with Strong Cash Flow and a Solid Balance Sheet

The Company generated $4.7 million in cash from operations in the fourth quarter and $16.2 million in 2023. Capital expenditures in the fourth quarter were $0.3 million, unchanged from the prior-year period and were $1.3 million in 2023, down from $1.4 million in 2022.

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2023 were $45.3 million, an increase of $31.8 million from the end of 2022, which included $19.2 million in net proceeds from the Company’s at-the-market equity offering program that was initiated and completed in second quarter 2023. The Company paid down $1.0 million in debt in the fourth quarter and $4.1 million during the year. Total debt was $12.0 million at year end.

Fourth quarter orders of $27.5 million were down 12% versus the prior-year period but up 2% sequentially. Defense/aerospace orders were very strong year-over-year, up 53% to $5.2 million, and were strong as well sequentially, increasing 70%. Higher demand drove fourth quarter industrial orders up 30%, or $0.8 million, compared with last year’s fourth quarter. Sequentially, industrial orders more than doubled to $3.4 million. Semi front-end orders were resilient in the fourth quarter, primarily supporting epitaxy applications. Back-end orders declined further year-over-year and sequentially but began to show stabilization. Combined semi orders, while down 10% year-over-year, improved sequentially by 3% to $13.3 million.

Backlog at December 31, 2023, was $40.1 million, down 14% versus the prior year on lower demand from the semi market as well as customers returning to shorter lead times as global supply chain challenges have dissipated. Approximately 45% of backlog is expected to ship beyond the first quarter of 2024.

Orders and backlog are key performance metrics that management uses to analyze and measure the Company’s financial performance and results of operations. Please see “Key Performance Indicators” for a further explanation of the use and how these metrics are calculated.

First Quarter and Full Year 2024 Guidance

First quarter guidance now includes just over two weeks of financial results from the Alfamation acquisition. Revenue for the first quarter of 2024 is expected to be approximately $29 million with gross margin of approximately 45% to 46%. First quarter 2024 operating expenses, including amortization, corporate development expenses and additional professional fees, are now expected to be approximately $13 million. Intangible asset amortization is estimated to be approximately $0.6 million pre-tax, or approximately $0.5 million after tax, or $0.04 per share. The effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 16% to 17% and weighted average shares are expected to be about 12.2 million in the first quarter.

First quarter 2024 estimated EPS is now expected to be approximately $0.06, while first quarter estimated adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP) is now expected to be approximately $0.10.2

1Adjusted earnings per diluted share is a non-GAAP financial measure. Further information can be found under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” See also the reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures that accompany this press release.

2 First quarter 2024 estimated adjusted EPS is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure. Further information can be found under “Forward-looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” See also the reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures that accompany this press release.

The Company’s guidance for 2024 is as follows:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices in the United States (“GAAP”), we also disclose non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures consist of adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin.

Definition of Non-GAAP Measures

The Company defines these non-GAAP measures as follows:

  • Adjusted net earnings is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, adjusted for the related income tax expense (benefit), to net earnings.
  • Adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS) is derived by dividing adjusted net earnings by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is derived by adding acquired intangible amortization, net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, and stock-based compensation expense to net earnings.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin is derived by dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenue.

These results are provided as a complement to the results provided in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS) are non-GAAP financial measures presented to provide investors with meaningful, supplemental information regarding our baseline performance before acquired intangible amortization charges as management believes this expense may not be indicative of our underlying operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures presented primarily as a measure of liquidity as they exclude non-cash charges for acquired intangible amortization, depreciation and stock-based compensation. In addition, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin also exclude the impact of interest income or expense and income tax expense or benefit, as management believes these expenses may not be indicative of our underlying operating performance.

Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release are used by management to make operational decisions, to forecast future operational results, and for comparison with our business plan, historical operating results and the operating results of our peers. Reconciliations from net earnings and earnings per diluted share (EPS) to adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS) and from net earnings and net margin to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, are contained in the tables below.

Limitations of adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin

Each of our non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools. They should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures of earnings or cash flows. Limitations may include the cash portion of interest expense, income tax (benefit) provision, charges related to intangible asset amortization and stock-based compensation expense. These items could significantly affect our financial results.

Management believes these Non-GAAP financial measures are important in evaluating our performance, results of operations, and financial position. We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement our GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business.

Adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are not alternatives to net earnings, earnings per diluted share or margin as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. As such, they should not be considered or relied upon as substitutes or alternatives for any such GAAP financial measure. We strongly urge you to review the reconciliations of adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin along with our financial statements included elsewhere in this press release. We also strongly urge you not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. In addition, because adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, the adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted share (adjusted EPS), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin measures as presented in this press release may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including estimated adjusted earnings per diluted share (estimated adjusted EPS). We have provided these non-GAAP measures for future guidance for the same reasons that were outlined above for historical non-GAAP measures.

We have reconciled non-GAAP forward-looking estimated adjusted EPS to its most directly comparable GAAP measure. The reconciliation from estimated net earnings per diluted share (EPS) to estimated adjusted EPS is contained in the table below.

Key Performance Indicators

In addition to the foregoing non-GAAP measures, management uses orders and backlog as key performance metrics to analyze and measure the Company’s financial performance and results of operations. Management uses orders and backlog as measures of current and future business and financial performance, and these may not be comparable with measures provided by other companies. Orders represent written communications received from customers requesting the Company to provide products and/or services. Backlog is calculated based on firm purchase orders we receive for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Management believes tracking orders and backlog are useful as it often is a leading indicator of future performance. In accordance with industry practice, contracts may include provisions for cancellation, termination, or suspension at the discretion of the customer.

Given that each of orders and backlog are operational measures and that the Company's methodology for calculating orders and backlog does not meet the definition of a non-GAAP measure, as that term is defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, a quantitative reconciliation for each is not required or provided.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These statements do not convey historical information but relate to predicted or potential future events and financial results, such as statements of the Company’s plans, strategies and intentions, or our future performance or goals, that are based upon management's current expectations. These forward-looking statements can often be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believe,” “could,” “expects,” “guidance,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “potential,” “forecasts,” “targets,” “estimates,” or similar terminology. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, any mentioned in this press release as well as the Company’s ability to execute on its 5-Point Strategy, realize the potential benefits of acquisitions and successfully integrate any acquired operations, grow the Company’s presence in its key target and international markets, manage supply chain challenges, convert backlog to sales and to ship product in a timely manner; the success of the Company’s strategy to diversify its markets; the impact of inflation on the Company’s business and financial condition; indications of a change in the market cycles in the semi market or other markets served; changes in business conditions and general economic conditions both domestically and globally including rising interest rates and fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates; changes in the demand for semiconductors; access to capital and the ability to borrow funds or raise capital to finance potential acquisitions or for working capital; changes in the rates and timing of capital expenditures by the Company’s customers; and other risk factors set forth from time to time in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including, but not limited to, the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this press release is based only on information currently available to management and speaks to circumstances only as of the date on which it is made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update the information in this press release to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, except as required by law.
