Brigham, President and CEO of ImmuCell. \u201cWe have no changes to those figures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have just persevered through the most difficult quarter in the history of the Company,\u201d continued Mr. Brigham. \u201cAs previously disclosed, we made the strategic decision to significantly reduce production output to remediate a production contamination event. We believe that the operational improvements we have implemented throughout the production process as part of this remediation will help us run more effectively at a higher output level going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This production slowdown, in part, contributed to an increase in the order backlog to approximately $8 million as of May 3, 2023 from $2.5 million as of December 31, 2022. Due to the loss in earned gross margin that was incurred during the first quarter of 2023, the Company has made the decision to defer, for the time being, completion of certain capital expenditure investments.<\/p>\n<p>The Company is being driven by data as it resolves this temporary production problem. Product is tested at the beginning, middle and end of the production process. From February 1, 2023 through May 3, 2023, the incoming quality control test has met standards 88% of the time, and the mid-process and end-process tests have both consistently passed. This improvement from the depth of the contamination problem in January is allowing the Company to come back into full production.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we recover and resume full production, our goal is to produce more product quarter after quarter than we did during the first quarter of 2023,\u201d added Mr. Brigham. \u201cWhen this contamination event is fully behind us, our goal is to be able to produce at least $6 million worth of product per quarter, which would annualize to about 80% of our $30 million full production capacity annually.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe increase in sales demand for the <strong>First Defense<\/strong><sup>\u00ae<\/sup> product line leading up to the contamination events is both exciting and difficult for us. The 2023 supply shortage may prove to be more detrimental to our growth curve than any other supply shortage because it impacted so many customers during peak calving season. We are doing the necessary work to stabilize supply, regain lost business and reestablish our growth objectives,\u201d concluded Mr. Brigham. \u201cAt the same time, we are preparing all the data required to make our third submission of the CMC Technical Section for <strong>Re-Tain<\/strong><sup>\u00ae<\/sup> during the second quarter of 2023, and we remain poised and excited to revolutionize the way that subclinical mastitis is treated in today\u2019s dairy market with a novel alternative to traditional antibiotics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <u>Certain Financial Results:<\/u><br \/>\n        <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Product sales decreased by 43%, or $2.6 million, to $3.4 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 compared to $6.0 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.<\/li>\n<li>Product sales decreased by 24%, or $5.1 million, to $16.0 million during the trailing twelve-month period ended March 31, 2023 compared to $21.1 million during the trailing twelve-month period ended March 31, 2022.<\/li>\n<li>Gross margin earned was 9% and 52% of product sales during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The less than normal gross margin during 2023 was largely the result of product contamination events in the production processes that resulted in a slowdown in production output and a write-off of the affected inventory. Remediation measures are being implemented to reduce the opportunity for recurrence.<\/li>\n<li>Net operating (loss) was ($2.3) million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 in contrast to a net operating income of $571,000 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.<\/li>\n<li>Net (loss) was ($2.3) million, or ($0.30) per basic share, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 in comparison to net income of $513,000, or $0.07 per diluted share, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.<\/li>\n<li>EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure described on page 5 of this press release) decreased to approximately ($1.6) million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 from $1.2 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <u>Balance Sheet Data as of March 31, 2023:<\/u><br \/>\n        <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $3.1 million as of March 31, 2023 from $5.8 million as of December 31, 2022.<\/li>\n<li>Net working capital decreased to approximately $8.4 million as of March 31, 2023 from $10.9 million as of December 31, 2022.<\/li>\n<li>Stockholders\u2019 equity decreased to $28.2 million as of March 31, 2023 from $30.4 million as of December 31, 2022.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <u>Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements (Safe<\/u><br \/>\n        <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <u>Harbor<\/u><br \/>\n        <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <u>Statement):<\/u><br \/>\n        <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>This Press Release and the statements to be made in the related earnings conference call referenced herein contain \u201cforward-looking statements\u201d within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended.

amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that considering the non-GAAP measures of Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) assists management and investors by looking at our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis excluding these certain charges that are not uses of cash from our reported (loss) income before income taxes.
