CALGARY, AB, Feb. 6, 2024 /CNW/ - Nanalysis Scientific Corp. ("the Company" or "Nanalysis", TSXV: NSCI, OTCQX: NSCIF, FRA: 1N1), a leader in portable NMR machines, MRI technology for industrial and research applications, and detection equipment services, provides an estimate of Q4 2023 unaudited revenue and highlights some other recent business accomplishments.

Sean Krakiwsky, Founder and CEO of Nanalysis, states: "We are very pleased with how the fourth quarter closed out 2023, a year not without its challenges. While our Security Services business continued its ramp through the end of the year, we also had strong results in our benchtop sales that we expect to continue into the first quarter. With both Benchtop NMR and Security Services contributing significantly, we were able to achieve fourth quarter unaudited revenues of between $9.3MM and $9.8MM, constituting a new record quarter for Nanalysis."¹

"We feel that with the continued trajectory of the Company's airport security maintenance project, returning strength to Benchtop NMR revenue, and our cost cutting measures that were implemented last year and continuing into 2024, we are making progress toward our corporate objective of generating positive EBITDA in this fiscal year."

Financial and Operational Highlights: 

• New Quarterly Revenue Record: Q4 2023 revenue will be at least $9.3MM (unaudited), driven by continued expansion of security services related to the Company's airport security maintenance project, as well as continued recovery in Benchtop NMR sales.
• Phase-In of the Company's Airport Security Maintenance Project: On January 11, 2024, the Company completed the phase-in period related to its airport security maintenance project, resulting in the Company's Security Services business now performing maintenance of passenger screening imaging and detection equipment across all of Canada. We are confident that the highly capable team we've built during this project will provide significant growth opportunities for this business with new customers and partners.
• 100 MHz Benchtop NMR Product: In Q4, the Company sold and shipped 14 100MHz Benchtop NMR units, the highest number of shipments for 100 MHz units in a quarter since the Company cleared its backlog in 2022. This drove continued recovery in Benchtop NMR revenue. Customer satisfaction is high, and we continue to seek value added partnerships and new software applications to drive more growth.
• New Patent Grant: The Company expanded its patent portfolio with the grant of United States Patent #US 11,815,574B2 which is part of the ongoing patent pipeline for its Benchtop NMR products. The Company continues to innovate in several areas of magnetic resonance technology, and we are proud of this recent patent grant directly associated with the 100 MHz product.
