MOUNT VERNON, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 17, 2021 / Applied UV, Inc. (NasdaqCM:AUVI) ("Applied UV" or the "Company"), an infection control technology company that applies the power of narrow-range ultraviolet light ("UVC") for surface areas and catalytic bioconversion technology for air purification to destroy pathogens safely, thoroughly, and automatically, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2021.

Q Saeed, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our second-quarter performance closes out a solid start to the first half of the fiscal year. We did experience some customer shipment delays during the quarter due to supply chain and logistics constraints; however, we believe this to be a temporary situation. Based on our pipeline of existing opportunities for our infection control products, the expansion of distribution globally and the improvement in demand for our MunnWorks subsidiary, we remain optimistic about our growth prospects in the second half of the year. In support of our growth strategy, testing of our SteriLumen portfolio of products against the most impactful pathogens in bio-safety level two and three laboratories both in North America and abroad remains a priority. The testing has validated the efficacy of our products and supports our sales teams worldwide. In addition, the Company has expanded safety testing of all products with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and Electrical Testing Laboratories (ETL) across all the relevant standards and adding or maintaining all relevant regulatory certifications form entities such as the FDA and EPA."

Saeed continued, "We made significant investments during the quarter, strengthening our organic growth trajectory while continuing to evaluate inorganic opportunities that could enhance our commercial portfolio. With a focus on investing for future growth, we are confident that the underlying fundamentals of our business are strong and that we are well positioned."

Financial Results

Second quarter net sales increased by 11.1% to $1,884,319 from $1,695,364 in the second quarter of 2020. The net sales and financial results for the current period reflect the impact of the Akida Holdings LLC, asset acquisition that closed on February 8, 2021. All net sales for previous periods presented were generated entirely from the Company's MunnWorks subsidiary. During the second quarter, the Company experienced an improvement in demand from the hospitality industry as the economy rebounds from the COVID-19 pandemic, and as a result its MunnWorks revenues are returning to normal operating levels. Additionally, the Company experienced some delays in fulfilling orders for one of its SteriLumen product lines due to the current constraints in the supply chain/logistics environment. The Company expects these orders will be fulfilled in the second half of 2021.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2021 was ($2,138,232), or ($0.23) per share, compared to a net loss of ($6,192), or $0.00 per share in the second quarter of 2020. The net loss in the second quarter of 2021 was due primarily to an increase in SG&A costs to improve future operations and expand the disinfection segment of our business

Liquidity remains strong with a cash balance of $7,017,558 million on June 30, 2021.

On July 16, 2021, the Company announced the closing of its underwritten registered public offering of 480,000 shares of 10.5% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, with liquidation preference of $25.00 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), at an initial public offering price of $25.00 per share, raising gross proceeds of $12.0 million before deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. On July 29, 2021, the Company announced the that the underwriters of its Series A Preferred Stock exercised in full their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 72,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock from Applied UV at a price to the public of $25.00 per share for gross proceeds of $1.8 million, prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. After giving effect to the exercise of the over-allotment option, a total of 552,000 shares were sold in the offering, resulting in gross proceeds to Applied UV of $13.8 million.

Shares of Series A Preferred Stock began trading on Nasdaq under the symbol "AUVIP" on July 14, 2021.

The Company has funded a segregated dividend account in an amount equal to the first 12 monthly dividend payments and expects to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including new investments and acquisitions.
