Second Quarter Fiscal 2022 Results
Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was approximately US$2.5 million, an improvement of 3% on a quarterly sequential basis and an increase of approximately 105% as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in revenue was due both to organic growth and the acquisition of Designed Precision Castings Inc. (“DP Cast”) in December 2021. Excluding the acquisition of DP Cast, revenue increased approximately 45% as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021 principally due to increased demand for commercial aerospace fasteners and electronic components. Adjusted EBITDA (1) was US$(487,224), a decline of 30% on a quarterly sequential basis, and a decline of 89% as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The year-over-year decline in Adjusted EBITDA (1) was a result of the acquisition of DP Cast and additional rent expense associated with the sale and leaseback of the Company’s Cerritos facility. On a pro forma basis (assuming the inclusion of DP Cast and sale/leaseback transaction as of January 1, 2021), second quarter fiscal 2022 Adjusted EBITDA (1) improved compared to the year ago period by 126%, which was mainly attributed to sales volume and better utilization of resources. Free Cash Flow (1) was US$(554,752) in the fiscal second quarter, as compared to US$(93,464) in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and US$(183,440) in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in free cash flow in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared to year ago period was due, principally, to a non-recurring capital gain tax payments related to the 2021 sale of the Company’s Cerritos facility of $560,000. Fiscal second quarter 2022 Adjusted Free Cash Flow, as adjusted for the non-recurring items (“Adjusted Free Cash Flow” (1)), generated US$5,248.
Fiscal second quarter 2022 bookings were US$3.4 million, representing a strong 1.36 book-to-bill ratio and an increase of 25% over first quarter of fiscal 2022 bookings excluding the impact of the DP Cast acquisition. Omni-Lite ended the fiscal year second quarter with a backlog of US$3.7 million, an increase from fiscal first quarter 2022. The Company expects the majority of this backlog to ship within the remainder of the current fiscal year.
The Company’s liquidity position remains strong in part due to our disciplined approach to the management of our cost structure, working capital and capital asset spending, resulting in the Company ending the second quarter of fiscal 2022 with approximately US$2.4 million in cash and no indebtedness outstanding.
Management Comments
David Robbins, Omni-Lite’s CEO, stated “the second quarter sequential and year-over-year revenue increases are a result of growth in existing product lines as well as new revenue opportunities. We are also seeing growth from the contribution of the newly-acquired DP Cast’s business and increased demand for aerospace fasteners and defense electronics. We have made significant progress integrating business systems and implementing manufacturing automation initiatives at DP Cast, and we expect to see improvements in both the top and bottom lines as we continue our integration activities in the coming quarters.”

Please see Second Quarter 2022 Management Discussion and Analysis for additional notes and definitions. Totals in both tables expressed above are rounded values and may not foot.
(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation provision, gains (losses) on sale of assets, and non-recurring items, if any. Free Cash Flow is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as cash flow from operations minus capital expenditures. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as Free Cash Flow excluding, if any, gains (losses) on sale of assets and non-recurring items. These are non-IFRS financial measures, as defined herein, and should be read in conjunction with IFRS financial measures and they are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. The non-IFRS financial measures as used herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe the use of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow along with IFRS financial measures enhances the understanding of our operating results and may be useful to investors in comparing our operating performance with that of other companies and estimating our enterprise value. Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are also useful tools in evaluating the operating results of the Company given the significant variation that can result from, for example, the timing of capital expenditures and the amount of working capital in support of our customer programs and contracts. We also use Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow internally to evaluate the operating performance of the Company, to allocate resources and capital, and to evaluate future growth opportunities.
