COLUMBUS, OH / ACCESS Newswire / October 31, 2025 / SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. ("SCI" or "Company") (OTCQB:SCIA), today reported financial results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Jeremy Young, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented "Our 2025 third quarter financial results reflect solid improvement over the same period last year. We are encouraged by the recent increase in orders across SCI's growing customer base. Market response to products launched earlier this year has been positive as reflected in the strong order backlog at September 30, 2025."

Mr. Young added, "We remain focused on implementing plans to accelerate future growth.

Revenue

The Company's revenue was $12,398,652 for the first nine months of 2025 compared to $17,819,042 for the same period in 2024. The 30% decrease in 2025 year-to-date revenue versus a year ago was due to product mix, lower raw material costs, and lower volume.

Quarterly revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased 36% to $5,289,116 from $3,883,237 a year ago due to higher volume and product mix.

Order backlog was $5.8 million at September 30, 2025, versus $3.4 million on June 30, 2025, and $3.8 million on the same date last year.

Gross profit

Gross profit was $3,562,116 for first nine months of 2025 versus $3,883,348 in the same period last year, a decrease of 8%. Lower raw material costs and volume were the key factors in the year-over-year comparison.

The third quarter of 2025 gross profit increased 22% to $1,331,145 from $1,089,293 a year ago due to the increase in revenue compared to last year.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased approximately 2% to $2,363,601 for the first nine months of 2025 versus $2,320,771 last year. Lower research and development expenses primarily offset higher general, administrative, and marketing and sales expenses.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, operating expenses increased 8% to $790,976 from $730,182 the prior year. Increased staff plus higher compensation and rent expense were key factors which contributed to the increase compared to the same period in 2024.

Net interest income

Net interest income increased approximately 15% to $333,769 for the 2025 year-to-date period from $290,908 last year.

For the third quarter of 2025, net interest income increased approximately 12% to $119,959 from $107,391 for the same period a year ago. Both periods in 2025 benefited from higher cash and cash equivalents plus investments in marketable securities of approximately $3.3 million.

Income taxes

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, income tax expense was $347,829 compared to $421,077 for the same period a year ago, a decrease of 17%.

The Company's third quarter 2025 income tax expense increased 41% to $149,849 from $105,924 last year. The effective tax rate remained at 22.7% for the nine month and three-month periods ended September 30, 2025, and 2024. The deferred tax liability was $261,154 at September 30, 2025, compared to $121,649 at December 31, 2024.

Net income

Net income of $1,184,455 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was 17% below the $1,432,408 for the same period last year. Lower gross profit for the first nine months of 2025 was partially offset by higher interest income compared to a year ago.

Third quarter 2025 net income increased approximately 42% to $510,279, primarily led by higher gross profit, compared to $360,578 a year ago.

Net income per diluted share was $0.26 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $0.31 last year. For the third quarter of 2025, net income increased to $0.11 from $0.08 in 2024.
