Management Discussion
Daniel Gruenes, CEO of the Company’s Bioprocessing Systems Operations’ division, said, “We are extremely pleased with the recent launch of our MPS and the patented sensor pills, which is the culmination of two years of extraordinary effort by our SBI team. We have reached a very important milestone in our bioprocessing platform, whereby we can now offer our customers the tools they need for cost effective and time-saving solutions for their bioprocessing needs. It is our belief that we have overcome the hardest hurdle in our product development journey and now we are in a position to continuously build, enhance and expand the product platform. SBI is building momentum to embark on a full-fledged commercialization program to drive top-line growth and shareholder value.”
Karl Nowosielski, President of the Torbal Division said “We are highly encouraged by the market adoption of our VIVID automated pill counter and our VIVID Plus subscription platform whereby over half a million monthly transactions are performed by pharmacists. We believe that we are well positioned with our current pill counters and our planned additions to address the current labor shortages facing the pharmacy industry.”
Helena Santos, Chief Executive Officer of Scientific Industries, stated, “We are pleased with the evolution of our Bioprocessing Systems Operations as our team continues to deliver patented technology breakthroughs, laying the groundwork for future growth. We are focused on creating innovative high-quality, low-cost products that are ideal to address the needs of our customers for real-time solutions to improve their workflows. We are highly encouraged by the progress our team is making in our VIVID automated pill counter product pipeline in our Torbal Division. Additionally, we believe our VIVID product line will play a critical part in the solution to the current pharmacy labor shortages and heavy workloads within the industry.”
2023 Third Quarter and Nine Months Financial Review
Net revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023, amounted to $2,585,500 and $8,373,400 from $2,670,000 and $8,311,900 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, respectively. During the third quarter, sales of bioprocessing products increased while the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations reflected a decrease in revenues due to the decline in COVID-related sales of its Vortex-Genie product, which was partially offset by increased sales of the segment’s Torbal products, which also contributed to the increase for the comparable nine-month period.
The Company reported a loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit of $2,201,100 and $6,758,100 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023, compared to a loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit of $1,709,200 and $10,137,300 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, which included goodwill impairment expense of $4,280,100 in the prior period.
As a result of the above, the Company reflected a net loss of $2,201,100, or $(0.31) per share and $6,863,600, or $(0.98) per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023, compared to a net loss of $1,709,200 $(0.24) per share and $13,272,000, or $(1.93) per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
