Select Financial Highlights (unaudited) - Second Quarter 2023 and 2022 Select Financial Highlights (unaudited) - Six Months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 Business Highlights First Six-Months 2023 LAKE BARRINGTON, IL / ACCESSWIRE / August 2, 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 second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023. Management will host a conference call to discuss these results and other matters on Thursday, August 3, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. Central Time / 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Management Commentary "Upcoming holiday order indications have been robust, and balloon sales rebounded in the second quarter to beat the comparable quarter of 2022, but continued to be negatively impacted by elevated helium prices," said Frank Cesario, Chief Executive Officer, Yunhong CTI. "While our commercial films sales disappointed in the first quarter as this product category has historically experienced significant fluctuation, we benefited from much improved results in the second quarter which were slightly higher than the second quarter of 2022. Overall traction for balloon-inspired gift items has been growing, though notably Valentine's Day shipments for this year were completed in December 2022, while last year the shipments went into January 2022. This makes comparability a little more difficult, but overall order volumes have been growing and we seek to continue that trend." Commenting further, Cesario stated, "Our corporate rebranding continues, as we continue down the development path of adding degradable and compostable solutions to our future offerings into the retail channel. Additionally, we asked our shareholders to approve changing our company name from Yunhong CTI Ltd. to Yunhong Green CTI Ltd, and have reserved the ticker symbol ‘YHGJ' to reflect this new identity." 2023 Second Quarter Results (unaudited) For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, net sales by product category were as follows: 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 Q2 Summary Results (Non-GAAP; unaudited) 2023 Second Quarter Results Conference Call / Webcast Information Yunhong CTI will host its conference call on Thursday, August 3, at 9:00 a.m. Central Time / 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
