• Ended the quarter with approximately $23.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and no long-term debt.

Manny Lakios, President and Chief Executive Officer of CVD Equipment Corporation, stated, "The successful divestiture of SDC marks a transformational milestone in the evolution of CVD Equipment. The transaction significantly strengthened our balance sheet, increased our financial flexibility, and allows us to pursue long-term growth opportunities while we continue to evaluate strategic alternatives for the Company.

While customer order levels continue to be adversely affected by the broader economic and geopolitical uncertainty, we remain actively engaged with our customers and are continuing to pursue opportunities developing across our target markets. We are also focused on maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation and expense control, with a goal of creating long-term shareholder value."

Earnings (Loss)

• Net income from discontinued operations: $13.9 million, or $2.01 per basic and diluted share, consisting of the gain on the divestiture of SDC of $13.9 million, net of transaction expenses and income tax expense. Including $0.4 million of transaction costs recognized during the first quarter of 2026, the total net gain on the divestiture was $13.5 million.

Following quarter-end, the customer associated with the $0.8 million system order filed a prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding.
