MISSISSAUGA, ON , Oct. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Cymat Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: CYM) (OTCQB: CYMHF) (the "Company" or "Cymat") is pleased to announce its results for the first quarter of the fiscal 2023 year – the three months ended July 31, 2022 .

Sales for the quarter were approximately $1.1M in comparison to $0.9M for the comparable quarter of the last fiscal year. Larger AlusionTM sales in the quarter included the final shipment of panels for installation in a Lithuanian science museum, panels for a convention centre in Washington State and a significant stocking order made by our distributor in China . AlusionTM is expected to continue as the primary source of revenue for the near future with significant orders expected for buildings in New York City , Spokane Washington , and South Korea .

The loss from operations of $1.7 (2021 – loss of $1M ) included non-cash charges of $0.8M (2021 - $0.9M ) pertaining to the valuation of employee/consultant stock options. Additionally, operating expenses for the current period were increased as a result of the addition of a second production shift and increases in wages to address the tight labour market, increased raw material costs resulting from higher commodity prices and amplified by the strengthening US dollar and increased production line maintenance costs.

SmartMetalTM sales were minimal for the current quarter. However, as recently announced, Cymat has received a long-anticipated order for vehicle blast mitigation kits from an Asian military vehicle OEM. This initial low-rate production order is anticipated to eventually extend to SmartMetalTM underbelly protection systems for up to 700 vehicles for this Asian military force. The OEM is expected to use this lead order to market this vehicle to other military forces currently utilized previous generations of this transport vehicle.

The primary focus of Cymat's business development efforts continues to be the automotive industry. Under its development agreement with a global automotive OEM, Cymat continues to advance its battery box application of SmartMetalTM for an existing EV. Cymat is also actively discussing the potential of SmartMetalTM for use in planned future EV models with this OEM.  Conversations with other automotive OEMs and tier-one manufacturers regarding the ability of SmartMetalTM to reduce vehicle weight and part complexity while enhancing crash protection are ongoing.

Key financial data for the three months ended July 31, 2022 and July 31, 2021 include the following (All items in $ 000's, except net loss per share):
