About this update from Yunhong Green Cti Ltd.

Financial Highlights (unaudited) Net sales were $5.1 million in the first quarter, compared with $5.8 million in the first quarter of 2022 While helium pricing continued to moderate after the significant 2022 spike, it continued to negatively impact foil-balloon sales Net income was $0.4 million , compared to net loss of less than $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2022 Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was $0.7 million , compared to $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2022. Please refer to the table accompanying this press release for a reconciliation of the Company's GAAP and non-GAAP results. Business Highlights Sales of candy and balloon gift items continued to climb, offsetting some of the weakness in commercial films The reduction in helium pricing is expected to drive more normalized balloon sales during remainder of 2023 Continued investment in robotic technology to enhance operational efficiencies Ongoing prototype development of Yunhong Biotech's compostable material solutions LAKE BARRINGTON, IL / ACCESSWIRE / April 26, 2023 / Yunhong CTI Ltd. (NASDAQ:CTIB) ("Yunhong CTI" or the "Company"), a leading manufacturer of custom film packaging products, novelty balloons, and candy and balloon gift solutions, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023 . Management will host a conference call to discuss these results and other matters on Thursday, April 27, 2023 , at 9:00 a.m. Central Time / 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time . Management Commentary "While our revenue results were lower quarter-over-quarter, our overall improved financial results demonstrate the success of the transformation we undertook over the last 18 month to realign operations, increase operating efficiencies, and strengthen our balance sheet. Our profitability showed sequential improvement, despite lower revenue during the quarter and our team overcame carryover headwinds from lower sales of foil balloon products which are sensitive to helium pricing. With the continued moderation in helium pricing, we expect to see an improvement in foil balloon sales in 2023," said Frank Cesario , Chief Executive Officer, Yunhong CTI . "Our first quarter balloon sales improved markedly from the third quarter 2022, and our candy and balloon gift solutions continue to grow," Cesario added. "While our commercial films sales disappointed, this product category has historically experienced significant fluctuation and we expect to see improved sequential results in the second quarter." Commenting further, Cesario stated, "Helium prices remain highly correlated to our results, particularly as it relates to the sale of foil balloons to our customers. We welcome the trend towards a more reasonable pricing environment, which should result in an improvement in foil balloon sales. Our experience is that in uncertain economic times our products tend to have a counter-cyclical element, as we provide a low-cost form of enjoyment and celebration. "As we have discussed previously, we continue to work on developing compostable material solutions in concert with the Yunhong group of companies and third-party partners. We will soon be visiting our partners in Asia in order to continue our cooperative efforts to bring commercially viable solutions to the market." 2023 First Quarter Results (unaudited) For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, net sales by product category were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 March 31, 2022 $ $ (000) % of (000) % of Product Category Omitted Net Sales Omitted Net Sales Variance % change Foil Balloons $ 3,474 69 % $ 3,832 66 % $ (358) (9 %) Film Products 89 2 % 828 14 % (739) (89 %) Other $ 1,488 29 % $ 1,112 19 % $ 376 34 % Total $ 5,051 100 % $ 5,797 100 % $ (746) (13 %) Non-GAAP Results To provide additional information regarding the Company's results, we have disclosed in this press release a Non-GAAP measure that combines EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization) as well as results excluding deconsolidation charges and certain non-recurring charges and benefits. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings (loss) before net interest, other expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. The Company has included EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure in this press release because it is a key measure used by management and the board of directors to understand and evaluate the core operating performance of the Company, to prepare budgets and operating plans, and because management believes such measure provides useful information in understanding and evaluating the Company's operating results. However, the use of EBITDA as an analytic tool has its limitations and you should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial results as reported under GAAP. A reconciliation to the closest GAAP statement of this non-GAAP measure is contained in the accompanying table. Similarly, management and the board of directors look at the results of the entity going forward, without the impact of deconsolidation costs related to the disposal of subsidiaries and related non-cash charges, which can be significant. Again, this pro forma result is not a replacement for the Company's financial results as reported under GAAP. It simply provides another viewpoint that may otherwise be obscured by a comprehensive presentation. A reconciliation between this pro forma result and our financial results as reported under GAAP is also presented. 2023 Q1 Summary Results (Non-GAAP; unaudited) 2023 Q1 2022 Q1 Net Income 396,000 (21,000) Addback: Interest 142,000 96,000 Addback: Taxes Addback Lender fees 81,000 136,000 Addback: Equity comp 7,000 31,000 Addback: Depr/Amort 102,000 98,000 Addback: Gain on sale - - Adj EBITDA 728,000 340,000 2023 First Quarter Results Conference Call / Webcast Information Yunhong CTI will host its conference call on Thursday, April 27 , at 9:00 a.m. Central Time / 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time .
