(NYSE American: SIF) today announced financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2025, which ended December 31, 2024. First Quarter Results Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 35.0% to $20.9 million, compared with $15.5 million for the same period in fiscal 2024. Net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $2.4 million, or $(0.40) per diluted share, compared with net loss of $4.1 million, or $(0.67) per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Net income from discontinued operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $0.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with net income from discontinued operations of $0.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. EBITDA was $(0.8) million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared with $(2.5) million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $(0.2) million, compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $(1.9) million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Other Highlights “Our first quarter was focused on opportunities for margin improvement and increasing throughput at both plants,” said George Scherff, Chief Executive Officer of SIFCO Industries, Inc. “Our backlog continues to increase and now stands at $121.9 million, showing strong demand for our products.” Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company uses certain non-GAAP measures in this release. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and are intended to serve as supplements to results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. SIFCO Industries, Inc. believes that such information provides an additional measurement and consistent historical comparison of the Company’s performance. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is available in this news release.

References to “EBITDA” mean earnings (losses) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and references to “Adjusted EBITDA” mean EBITDA plus, as applicable for each relevant period, certain adjustments as set forth in the reconciliations of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA is a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because management believes that they are useful indicators for evaluating operating performance, including the Company’s ability to incur and service debt and it uses EBITDA to evaluate prospective acquisitions. Although the Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the reasons noted above, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures as analytical tools has limitations. Therefore, reviewers of the Company’s financial information should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results of operations as reported in accordance with GAAP. Some of these limitations include: Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA reflects the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments on indebtedness; Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA reflects any cash requirements for such replacements; The omission of the amortization expense associated with the Company’s intangible assets further limits the usefulness of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA; and Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA includes the payment of taxes, which is a necessary element of operations. Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to the Company to invest in the growth of its businesses. Management compensates for these limitations by not viewing EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation and specifically by using other GAAP measures, such as net income (loss), net sales, and operating income (loss), to measure operating performance. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA is a measurement of financial performance under GAAP, and neither should be considered as an alternative to net loss or cash flow from operations determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: Three Months Ended December 31, Dollars in thousands 2024 2023 Net loss $ (2,316 ) $ (3,422 ) Less: Income from discontinued operations, net of tax 106 647 Loss from continuing operations (2,422 ) (4,069 ) Adjustments: Depreciation and amortization expense 1,181 1,232 Interest expense, net 469 342 Income tax expense 5 6 EBITDA (767 ) (2,489 ) Adjustments: Foreign currency exchange (gain) loss, net (1) (2 ) 4 Other expense, net (2) 38 69 Non-recurring severance expense adjustments (3) (22 ) — Equity compensation (3) 21 86 Transaction-related expense adjustments (4) (17 ) — LIFO impact (5) 501 293 IT incident costs, net (6) — (1 ) Strategic alternative expense (7) — 187 Adjusted EBITDA $ (248 ) $ (1,851 ) (1) Represents the gain or loss from changes in the exchange rates between the functional currency and the foreign currency in which the transaction is denominated.
