MIND TECHNOLOGY, INC. REPORTS FISCAL 2024 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, June 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- MIND Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MIND) ("MIND" or the "Company") today announced financial results for its fiscal 2024 first quarter ended April 30, 2023.
Revenues from Marine Technology Products sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 were $12.6 million compared to $12.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and $9.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
The Company reported operating income of $289,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to losses of $221,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and approximately $2.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The net loss (after income taxes) for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was $240,000 compared to net income of $666,000 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and a net loss of approximately $2.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. First quarter of fiscal 2024 net loss attributable to common shareholders was $0.09 per share compared to $0.02 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and $0.24 in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 was approximately $913,000 compared to $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 and a loss of $1.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, which is a non-GAAP measure, is defined and reconciled to reported net income (loss) from continuing operations and cash used in operating activities in the accompanying financial tables. These are the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
The backlog of Marine Technology Products as of April 30, 2023, was approximately $22.6 million compared to $20.7 million at January 31, 2023 and $13.4 million at April 30, 2022.
Rob Capps, MIND's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased to report positive results for the second quarter in a row, having produced positive operating income and Adjusted EBITDA with significantly improved revenues year-over-year. Our first quarter revenues from continuing operations increased 39% year-over-year, with our Seamap segment making up a meaningful portion of that growth. I think it's noteworthy that we saw sequential improvement at the operating level. The sequential improvement in operating income was partially driven by an increase in gross margin to approximately 43% in the current quarter versus 36% in the prior quarter. Our backlog of $22.6 million was up over 68% from the $13.4 million we reported during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and improved on a sequential basis, demonstrating the strong demand growth we continue to see in our key markets. Inquiry and bidding activity remain robust as we work to further expand our backlog. Our backlog reflects the continued positive momentum that we are experiencing in various markets, and we believe that our differentiated marine technology products are uniquely positioned to benefit from favorable market trends.
"As we progress throughout fiscal 2024, we continue to believe the positive trend for order flow will continue. Additionally, we believe the underlying market fundamentals are positive and those have contributed to the increase in order activity. The current geopolitical situation emphasizes the need for maritime security and other defense applications. The constructive pricing environment in the energy market is positive for our customers in that space. The trend towards renewable energy, such as wind farms, is a positive development for our marine survey customers. We plan to continue to execute our long-term strategic initiatives and position the Company to become a leading provider of innovative marine technology and products," concluded Capps.

Mitcham Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:MIND) today reported net income of $2.9 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, on revenues of $9.8 million for its third quarter ended October 31, 2005. This compares with a net loss of $(0.8 million), or $(0.09) per diluted share, in the prior year's third quarter. The increase in the Company's results for the quarter primarily reflects strong leasing demand for land equipment in Canada and for marine equipment internationally, as well as solid equipment sales across all areas of operation.
"We saw a strong pickup in leasing activity in the seismic equipment market this last quarter," said Billy F. Mitcham, Jr., President and CEO of Mitcham Industries. "The Canadian market was very active and we saw an increase in marine equipment rentals on a global basis. Seamap, our most recent acquisition, also contributed to our results, and with its newly released Gunlink 3000 as well as recently signed strategic alliances appears to be on track to be a strong contributor next fiscal year. Unusually heavy rains delayed certain projects and limited Seismic Asia Pacific's results for the quarter, but the projects should resume in the fourth quarter and continue into the next fiscal year. Overall, we are optimistic about leasing activity for the remainder of this fiscal year and believe we are well-positioned for continued growth in the upcoming fiscal year."
For the nine months ended October 31, 2005, the Company recorded net income of $6.2 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, on revenues of $24.5 million. This compares with net income of $0.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, on revenues of $19.3 million for the comparable nine-month period of the prior year.
Mitcham Industries, Inc., a geophysical equipment supplier, offers for lease or sale, new and "experienced" seismic equipment to the oil and gas industry, seismic contractors, environmental agencies, government agencies and universities. Headquartered in Texas, with sales and services offices in Calgary, Canada, Brisbane, Australia, Singapore and the United Kingdom, and with associates throughout Europe, South America and Asia, Mitcham conducts operations on a global scale and is the largest independent exploration equipment lessor in the industry.
This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts included herein, including statements regarding potential future demand for the Company's products and services, the Company's future financial position and results of operations, business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include a prolonged and gradual recovery, or no full recovery, of the energy services sector of a depressed oil and gas industry, and thereafter, the inherent volatility of oil and gas prices and the related volatility of demand for the Company's services; loss of significant customers; significant defaults by customers on amounts due to the Company; international economic and political instability; dependence upon additional lease contracts; the risk of technological obsolescence of the Company's lease fleet; vulnerability of seismic activity and demand to weather conditions and seasonality of operating results; dependence upon few suppliers; and other factors which are disclosed in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, available from the Company without charge.
