CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$cvv #cvdequipment–CVD Equipment Corporation (NASDAQ: CVV),
a leading provider of chemical vapor deposition systems, today announced
its third quarter 2018 financial results.

“As highlighted in our pre-announcement, the third quarter saw a
confluence of events that drove lower-than-anticipated results. These
included delays in orders from a number of customers and an
exceptionally long permitting process for the build-out of our new CVD
Materials production facility,” said Leonard A. Rosenbaum, President and
Chief Executive Officer. “From our current vantage point, these
conditions may continue to weigh on revenue and earnings over the next
two quarters.

“Despite these setbacks, knowledge of our markets and conversations with
current and potential customers continue to make us optimistic about our
overall business and the materials segment’s potential to contribute to
our long-term success in high-growth areas such as biomedical materials,
aerospace, and corrosion resistant applications. Our new Central Islip
facility will be the backbone of our materials future, where our R&D
investments are beginning to bear fruit. Recently we filed key
provisional patents for corrosion resistant coatings and a family of
novel Fluid Reactors that allows the efficient transfer of gases into
and out of liquids. One potential application is for use in oxygenation
cartridges used during cardio pulmonary bypass surgery.”

Revenue for the third quarter was $4.0 million, compared to $6.4 million
in the prior quarter and $10.8 million from the same period last year.
Net loss for the third quarter was $2.5 million compared to a net loss
of $1.3 million in the prior quarter and income of $1.4 million a year
ago. This loss is primarily a result of costs associated with
maintaining a production staff in anticipation of receiving additional
equipment orders (which to date have not materialized), existing
contract adjustments, and the ongoing costs related to the CVD Materials
business. Net loss per share was $0.39 compared to a net loss of $0.21
in the second quarter of 2018 and income of $0.22 a year ago. Backlog as
of September 30, 2018 was $6.5 million compared to $6.4 million on June
30, 2018. In light of our results for this quarter Management and the
Board will continue to evaluate the Company's business strategy,
including cost structure, needed capital, and capital infrastructure
investments.

The timing of the CVD’s return to profitability will depend upon, among
other things, the receipt of new orders, obtaining the necessary
building permits for the new CVD Materials facility, and the ramp up of
the materials business following the completion of this facility, which
is expected late in the second quarter of 2019. The Company has retained
a new architect and has met local government officials, with the aim of
expediting the permitting process, in order for construction of the
facility to proceed and be completed as soon as practicable.

The Company will hold a conference call to discuss its results today at
4:30 pm (Eastern Time). To participate in the live conference call,
