**Sono-Tek Reports Third Quarter and Nine Month Fiscal 2023 Financial Results and Provides Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2024 Revenue Guidance**

***- Supply Chain Delays Impact Current Sales, Backlog up 14% from Start of Fiscal Year, Projects Double Digit Revenue Growth in FY2024-***

***-Received 2nd $1.1M Order from Clean Energy Sector Subsequent to Quarter End-***

MILTON, N.Y., January 17, 2023 – Sono-Tek Corporation (Nasdaq: SOTK), the leading developer and manufacturer of ultrasonic coating systems, today reported financial results for its third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2023, ended November 30, 2022.

**<u>Third Quarter Fiscal 2023 Highlights</u>** (compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2022 unless otherwise noted). The three-month periods ended November 30, 2022 and 2021 are referred to as the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Net sales were $3,586,000, a decrease of $883,000 or 19%, a result
of supply chain challenges which included the delayed shipment of five machines with a value of $487,000. Net sales declined by 5% sequentially
from $3,763,000 reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Gross Profit was $1,824,000, a decrease of $335,000 or 16%, due
to the sales decrease, partially offset by a favorable product mix which caused the gross margin to increase 200 basis points to 51%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Operating Expenses increased 3% to $1,721,000, led by a 25% increase
in research and development expenditures to $520,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Operating Income and Income Before Taxes were $103,000 and $133,000
respectively, as a result of lower Gross Profit and increased Operating Expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Backlog increased 14% to $6,223,000 on November 30, 2022 compared
to backlog of $5,325,000 on February 28, 2022 (the end of fiscal year 2022), and increased 23% from the $5,049,000 backlog at August 31,
2022 (the end of the second quarter of 2023).

**<u>First Nine Months Fiscal 2023 Highlights</u>** (compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2022 unless otherwise noted). The nine-month periods ended November 30, 2022 and 2021 are referred to as the first nine months of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net Sales were $11,401,000, a decrease of $733,000 or 6%, due to a number of delayed shipments resulting from supply chain disruptions, and a dip in sales to Asia from the impact of the strong US dollar on Sono-Tek's regional customers.

• Gross Profit was $5,827,000, a decrease of $230,000 or 4%, due to the decrease in revenue, partially offset by a favorable product mix which caused the gross margin to increase 120 basis points to 51%.

• Operating Expenses increased 8% to $5,165,000, driven by a 24% increase in R&D Development to $1,543,000.

• Operating Income and Income Before Taxes were $662,000 and $1,295,000 respectively, as a result of lower Gross Profit and increased Operating Expenses.

• As of November 30, 2022, Sono-Tek had $11,249,000 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and no outstanding debt.

**<u> </u>**

**<u>Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2024 Revenue Guidance</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· For Q4 FY2023, ending February 28, 2023, Sono-Tek expects to
report a double digit sequential increase in net sales from the third quarter of fiscal 2023, which includes the shipment of some delayed
products from the third quarter of fiscal 2023 backlog.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Year-over-year, Q4 FY2023 net sales are expected to be lower
than the comparable quarter, due to the expected slippage of approximately $1.9 million in planned shipments into next fiscal year, due
to supply chain delays, including the $1.1 million order for the clean energy segment that was previously announced.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Total net sales for the twelve months of fiscal year 2023, are
now expected to be approximately 10% lower compared to net sales of $17.1 million in FY2022. Management projects the resumption of double
digit growth next fiscal year, ending February 29, 2024.

Dr. Christopher L. Coccio, Chairman and CEO, commented, "Sono-Tek had a successful third quarter, considering the impacts and uncertainty of supply chain shortages combined with trucking and shipping delays on some of our project orders. The year-over-year decrease in sales flowed through the income statement and was the main reason for the decline in net income, although we remained firmly profitable. Our team has been working hard to locate alternative suppliers of key components in the face of significant vendor delivery problems and they've made great progress which will support future growth by increasing our inventory of in demand products and components to avoid similar disruptions. Fortunately, we have a strong balance sheet with over $11 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and no debt which enables us to be strategically nimble. Positively, key indicators for the future are all higher, including customer development work in our labs, quotations, orders, and most importantly, backlog and customer deposits."

"Total Operating Expenses increased by 3% over last year's third quarter as salaries were increased to retain key performers in this competitive and inflationary environment. For the full year, we expect to record a 5% increase in expenses over last year largely driven by our ongoing investments in R&D, which is the key to our future growth. Sales and Marketing decreased slightly in the quarter, although we expect an increase next fiscal year as trade show activity and in-person customer visits ramp up and displace virtual meetings, which is important for the sale and support of our high-tech products."

"We anticipate the shipment of some delayed products from the current $6.2 million backlog will ship during the current fiscal year ending February 28, 2023, despite ongoing supply chain issues, resulting in a double digit sequential increase in net sales for the fourth quarter versus the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Full fiscal year 2023 net sales are now projected to decline by approximately 10% compared to last fiscal year. We do anticipate that double digit sales growth will resume next year based on our backlog, development lab and order activity. In fact, subsequent to quarter end we received a second $1.1 million order from a repeat customer in the clean energy sector which we expect to ship during fiscal 2024. Assuming all of the orders currently in hand and scheduled to ship next fiscal year remain on track, this will very likely result in Sono-Tek reporting the highest sales in its history. We appreciate the efforts of our team to achieve success in a very challenging environment, and look forward to realizing the promise of our investments and opportunities driven by the global initiatives to implement Green Energy technology that use Sono-Tek's products and systems," concluded Dr. Coccio.

**Third Quarter and First Nine Months Fiscal 2023 Sales Overview** 

Total Sales were $3,586,000 in the third quarter, and $11,401,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2023, a decrease of 19% and 6%, respectively. The decreases were primarily due to the impact of delayed shipments resulting from supply chain demand challenges.

By product, the largest decrease was in sales of multi-axis coating systems which declined year-over-year by 45% and 26% during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2023, respectively. The declines stem from the impact of supply chain shortages for electronic components used in this product line. These components are still in short supply, suggesting that supply chain challenges for this product line will continue through the remainder of fiscal 2023, ending February 28, 2023.

Fluxing system sales increased 142% year over year in the third quarter and 66% for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 primarily due to the Company's recently launched SelectaFlux X2 product being implemented at several large PCB contract manufacturers as well as the move of manufacturing operations from China to other countries which requires the purchase of new spray fluxers.

By market, sales to the industrial market grew 187% in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, and 142% for the first nine months of fiscal 2023, and were positively impacted by the delivery of three machines, valued at $216,000 each, that shipped to an industrial manufacturing company, two in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and one in the first quarter. Three additional machines of the same value remain in backlog and are projected to ship to the same company in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023.

Sales in the medical sector declined due to a strong comparable period in the prior year which included the shipment of a large medical system to China. Sales to the Alternative Energy market and R&D market decreased in both the three and nine month periods primarily due to supply chain challenges that have resulted in delayed shipments, which has been caused by the delayed receipt of critical electronic components for multi-axis costing systems. These are commonly purchased by both the Alternative Energy market and R&D market sectors.

By geography, approximately 56% of sales originated outside of the United States and Canada in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with 78% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. In the first nine months of fiscal 2023, approximately 55% of sales originated outside of the United States and Canada compared with 69% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022.

Strong sales growth from the US and Latin America in both the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and the first nine months of fiscal 2023 benefited from the continued trend of US companies to onshore a greater percentage of manufacturing operations to the US and Mexico to combat supply chain challenges and reduce political risk. These gains were offset by a 56% and 50% decrease in APAC sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and the first nine months of fiscal 2023, respectively, primarily due to decreased shipments to China resulting from COVID-19 related lockdowns as well as the impact of a strong US dollar on the pricing and ordering patterns for Sono-Tek customers in APAC.

Backlog on November 30, 2022 was $6,223,000, an increase of 14% compared with backlog of $5,325,000 on February 28, 2022. Backlog increased 23% from the $5,049,000 backlog at August 31, 2022, the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase in backlog is due to the receipt of additional orders being received and as well as the delay in shipments due to supply chain issues. Customer deposits increased 50% to $1,749,000 at November 30, 2022 from $1,168,000 at February 28, 2022, reflecting new orders that were received in the first nine months of fiscal 2023.

**Third Quarter FY 2023 Financial Overview**

Gross profit was $1,824,000, a decrease of 16% compared with $2,159,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The gross profit margin was 51% compared with 49% for the prior year period, primarily due to product mix.

Operating expenses were $1,721,000, a 3% increase from the prior year period. Research and product development costs increased 25% to $520,000 primarily due to increased salaries and the higher costs of research and development materials and supplies, which are directed at ongoing focused growth initiatives. Marketing and selling expenses decreased 6% to $793,000 primarily due to decreases in commissions, salaries and related costs, partially offset by increased travel and trade show expenses resulting from the global lifting of COVID-19 restrictions. General and Administrative expenses increased 1% to $408,000 primarily due to decreases in professional fees and corporate expenses partially offset by higher stock-based compensation.

Operating income was $103,000, a decrease of $388,000 or 79%, primarily due to decreases in revenue and gross profit combined with increases in operating expenses. Operating margin for the quarter decreased to 2.8% compared with 11.1% in the prior year period.

Net income decreased by 72% to $105,000, or $0.01 per share, compared with $376,000, or $0.02 per share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, primarily due to a decrease in operating income combined with a decrease in income tax expense for the period. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 15,773,370 compared to 15,654,936 for the prior year period.

**First Nine Months FY2023 Financial Overview**

Total Sales were $11,401,000, a decrease of 6% compared to $12,134,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Gross profit decreased 4% to $5,827,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 compared with $6,057,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. The gross profit margin was 51% compared with 50% for the prior year period. The improvement in the gross profit margin is primarily due to a favorable product mix with higher OEM sales.

Operating income was $662,000, a decrease of 48% compared with $1,282,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Operating margin for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 decreased to 5.8% compared with 10.5% in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Net income was $573,000, or $0.04 per share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 compared with $1,987,000, or $0.13 per share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2022, which includes pretax PPP Loan forgiveness of $1,005,000. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 15,764,351 compared to 15,572,424 for the prior year period.

**Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Overview**

At November 30, 2022 cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $11.2 million, Sono-Tek had no debt on its balance sheet and stockholders' equity was $14.5 million.

Capital expenditures in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 were $170,000 which were invested in ongoing upgrades to the Company's manufacturing facilities. Sono-Tek anticipates capital expenditures will total approximately $450,000 - $500,000 in fiscal year 2023.
