OXNARD, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 29, 2024 / CDTi Advanced Materials, Inc. (OTC PINK:CDTI) ("CDTi" or the "Company"), a leader in advanced catalyst technology, reported its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023
Matthew Beale, the Company's CEO, stated, "Our focus on solutions for the clean energy transition yielded important returns for CDTi in 2023. We further strengthened our collaborations with key industry players at the forefront of this transition and established CDTi as a leading provider of catalyst and coating technology for the nascent carbon capture, methane abatement and hydrogen production markets. We also expanded our fuel borne catalyst (FBC) offering to include solutions for global fuel additives companies as demand grows for catalyzed products delivering demonstrable fuel efficiency benefits. Although FBC revenue was lower than the prior year, we believe this reflects short-term volatility with a new product line and continue to be excited by its long-term growth prospects.
"Public and private investment in technologies supporting the clean energy transition is expected to accelerate further in 2024 and beyond. We are ideally positioned having successfully leveraged our expertise in automotive catalysts to create robust and cost-effective solutions for emerging growth markets in carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and methane abatement. These new markets, together with our expanded FBC product offering, are the fastest growing segments of our business that we believe will have an increasingly positive impact on our revenue going forward," concluded Beale.
Operating Highlights Signed Procurement Agreement with a global energy organization to provide catalyst engineering and coating services for clean energy initiatives; Completed initial engineering order of components for a large-scale CDR unit for a global energy company; Initiated development work with a leading substrate manufacturer to create catalyst products to address growing global demand for direct air capture (DAC) systems; Developed and began supplying proprietary white label FBC product to global fuel additives company; and Expanded activity in the methane abatement market including supply of prototype catalysts to a major oil and gas customer and completion of a feasibility study for MAMII (Methane Abatement in Maritime Initiative) targeting methane oxidation catalysts for the marine market.
Financial Highlights Total revenue for the full year 2023 was $8.6 million, compared to $9.7 million for 2022 with the decrease primarily attributable to a reduction in sales of FBC products in North America; Gross margin was 35%, compared to 32% for 2022; Total operating expenses for 2023 were $2.9 million compared to $3.0 million in 2022; Operating income was $115 thousand, compared $193 thousand in 2022; and Cash on hand at December 31, 2023 was $1.3 million, compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 2022. The Company's audited financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and for the fiscal year then ended are available on the Company's website at www.cdti.com.
