    “Our third quarter results reflect the continued return of economic activity across global markets, resulting in higher oil and gas prices compared to the prior year quarter. Our sequential and year-over-year revenue growth reflects increased product sales and resumption of service orders from customers that have been largely deferring capital during the pandemic. As previously suggested SG&A spending increased on a year-over-year basis, reflecting the rehiring of staff and continued investment in the company, but remains significantly below pre-pandemic levels. Additionally, I am pleased that we have been able to generate operating cash flow in the first nine months of this year while maintaining our pristine balance sheet, which remains debt free with $18.5 million in cash and liquid investments,” said Ryan Oviatt, Co-CEO and CFO of Profire Energy.

    Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

    Total revenues for the period of $6.9 million, compared to $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $4.0 million in the prior-year quarter. The sequential and year-over-year increase reflects increased customer demand for product sales and services due to an increase in oil and gas prices.

    Gross profit was $3.1 million, compared to $2.7 million in the prior quarter and $1.5 million in the prior-year quarter. Gross margin was 44.9% of revenues, compared to 44.0% of revenues in the prior quarter and 38.0% of revenues in the third quarter of 2020. The sequential and year-over-year increases were driven by higher revenues which provided greater coverage of fixed costs.

    Total operating expenses were $3.4 million, compared to $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $2.8 million in the year-ago quarter. The sequential increase reflects the unwinding of COVID related cost reductions implemented in 2020 and operating cost inflation seen throughout 2021.

    Compared with the same quarter last year, operating expenses for G&A increased 33%, R&D decreased 33% and depreciation decreased by 1%.

    Net income for the third quarter was $92,246 or nil per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($397,166) or ($0.01) per share in the second quarter of 2021 and a net loss of ($1,057,748) or ($0.02) per share in the same quarter last year.

    Cash and liquid investments totaled $18.5 million at September 30, 2021, compared to $17.6 million at the end of 2020, and the Company continues to operate debt-free.

    “We are encouraged by the results of the third quarter. We continue to believe that demand for our products in both our core business and new industries and markets will continue to trend positively. Additionally, the traditional inventory levels that we strategically hold will enable us to continue our first in class reputation of delivering for our customers as industry continues to navigate global supply chain challenges,” stated Cameron Tidball, Co-CEO of Profire Energy. “We remain highly focused on the recovery of our core business as well as other opportunities and ongoing expansion in midstream, downstream, and outside of oil and gas to create long-term value for our shareholders.”

    About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which statements are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measure of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

    We use this non-GAAP financial measure for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We also use this measure as a metric in our incentive compensation plans. Our management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to this non-GAAP financial measure in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors both because it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

    The Following is a tabular presentation of EBITDA, including a reconciliation to net income which the Company believes to be the most directly comparable US GAAP financial measure.
