spk03: Thank you, John. Good afternoon and thank you all for joining the TOME Environmental Earnings Call as we discuss our Q4 and full year 2021 financial and operating results. 2021 was an outstanding year in many ways for the company and in time will show significant growth for our shareholders. As we reflect on the past three years of operating history, we acknowledge that 2020 was an outlier for the company due to the pandemic, resulting in rapid acceleration of revenue as we were able to quickly deploy our inventory to respond to immediate needs. As reported previously, the pandemic created short-term volatility in our year-over-year revenue. However, it also contributed to the expansion of our customer base, overall brand awareness in the disinfection, decontamination industry, but most importantly, it gave us the opportunity to listen to our long-term customers and develop the products that address their needs. At this time, it's difficult for the company to compare our 2021 results to 2020 results. Therefore, I will continue this call by comparing 2021 to 2019 in order to provide an accurate comparison and realistic numbers of growth. Even though COVID had continued to present new challenges, most recently with a significant spike in Omicron variant cases, which impacted our operations starting from December 21 through February 22. Nevertheless, our performance last year increased my confidence in our team's ability to successfully execute on the business. We worked very hard in 2021 to design and produce our sleek, sturdy mist backpack, which uses the same effective, innovative, IHP technology. Thus far, we received outstanding reviews by those that have purchased the device. In 2021, Tomy had approximately $384,000 in SteriPak sales. We experienced slight logistic delays in shipping of SteriPaks from one of our manufacturers in Australia to the U.S. However, the company is off to a great start in 2022. The growth AsteriMist uses has contributed to the growth in the solution revenue, thus continuing to prove our business model of repeat solution sales. In 2021, we added 65 new customers, and when you compare 2021 to 2019, BIT solution revenue grew by 48%. Our customer recurring solution orders increased 63%, and our overall revenue grew by 22%. Thus far, in the first quarter of 2022, as of last week, we received approximately 3 million in purchase orders. And some of these orders are for built-ins, which will be converted to revenue in a couple other quarters. But these orders combined with the growing pipeline and the remaining time we have in the first quarter makes us feel that we're very optimistic about the growth in 2022 and beyond. Ceramus products, particularly automatic disinfection products have created many avenues to revenue, both domestic and abroad. Although a portion of the revenue will not be listed on the next quarterly report due to installations later in the year, the current ongoing projects and sales pipeline suggest TOMI is in an optimal position for growth and expansion throughout the year. These Projects include reoccurring and new IHP corporate service document decontaminations and our purchases for four of our custom engineered systems, each of which are providing TOMI potential future revenue and industry connections. While TOMI strives to increase its market share and expand as a business, it is important to have a plan to ensure the proper people are put in positions for success. As we evaluate our staff to meet our growth goals, we continue to recruit and to evaluate qualified candidates to address our departmental needs. As we have seen, many new disinfection companies have entered the industry in the last two years, and it's important to differentiate ourselves and educate others on why Sterimist is quickly becoming the leading professional disinfection decontamination product throughout all industry verticals. Educating potential clients and current customers about Sterimist technology and its current and future products allows Tomi to stay competitive in an ever-changing global landscape. In relation to education, one thing Tomi has learned in the past year is the ongoing and increasing current desire for automatic mechanical disinfection decontamination. With customers requiring this automatic mechanical disinfection and numerous potential new clients inquiring about the need for mechanical disinfection, it is important for TOMI to take advantage of this new market. Ionized hydrogen peroxide, or IHP, is faster, less caustic, easy to maintain, and allows the end user to perform more tasks in their decontaminated space, resulting in a significant savings of dollars to our customers over our competitors. For the 2022 year and beyond, TOMI expects measurable growth in winning SteriMIST CES bids and the manufacturing and implementation of these fully automated mechanical decontamination systems. As a reminder for those that have been on the call for years, the first CES system was completed in 2016 for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. As Dana-Farber was designing a new vivarium, they had the opportunity to integrate several new technologies to advance overall efficiency, quality, and design. Such technology was the use of our IHP decontamination. TOMI continues to invest in expanding the technical and R&D team to prepare for future of the business as long that these long-term permanent solutions facilitates our returning to the facilities commencing late in 2021. As it is known, the utilization of Sterimist products by premier companies like Dana-Farber Cancer, Merck & Company, Pfizer, Precious Copy AG, Memorial Sloan Catering Cancer Center, and Thermo Fisher Scientific provide confidence to potential buyers that Sterimist is equipped to meet the varying needs of individual facilities and undergo and pass the stringent validation requirements of each area requiring superior decontamination. As reported in August of last year, 2021, and completed at the end of last year, TOMI received an order from a global pharmaceutical partner in Europe for a six applicator permanent decontamination system. We are currently working with many of the locations from that global pharmaceutical company, including Brazil, Mexico, Germany, and Canada, in the implementation and use of SteriMIST as their standard decontamination solution. In addition, Tomi has since won four additional projects with other companies regarding the CES and anticipates many more in future quarters and years ahead. For 2022, our aggregated CES sales orders are approximately 1.68 million. These wins include an experimental research arm of a large cancer center in the East Coast, a multinational pharmaceutical company who locally has chosen Sturimist in two of their areas requiring superior decontamination and a renowned institute that focuses on immunology and infectious disease. These are all great wins for IHP and demonstrate the increasing acceptance and beneficial understanding of our IHP technology over the multi-billion dollar large global competitors. We are committed to being the driving force in providing enhanced superior disinfection and decontamination to a variety of industries in a variety of applications. This system is an automatic hands-free disinfection system that enables instant ease of use with no manual requirements, partnering with multiple manufacturers and programmers has created an economy of scale developing a profitable solution to the market. TOME, in conjunction with its new manufacturer onboarded in 2021, Arm, began production of the innovative Transport CES and Select Plus units. The Transport CES is primarily designed for emergency service vehicles including paramedics and ambulances, and can provide consistent, elite disinfection without the need to ever remove or reinstall the product from a space. Due to the partnering with experts of Siemens software, Arm can provide insight on producing intelligent SteriMIST systems while maintaining cost-effective fabrication, enabling future success and innovative system design. Although the CES and similar products have seen an increase in interest, SteriMIS's newer product, the SteriPak, has been a popular choice for mobile system solutions. The SteriPak has a battery-operated option, making it the most affordable unit, yet as it is not limited to the constraints of needing a wired connection. SteriPak's increase in disinfection mobility and ability to work without a cord plugged in has been popular with many service providers and commercial clients. Because of this unique ability, many current Tomi Service Network, TSN providers have added the SteriPak to their disinfection toolbox. Tomi recently launched a new TSN logo, a new member website, and a membership portal to better support our partners. The portal or app is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play and is available to both our service network members and our domestic and international manufacturing sales representatives and distributors. The portal allows access to materials, media, case studies, protocols, alerts, podcasts, and ease of ordering products. Now I am going to turn the call over to our CFO, Nick Jennings, who will provide you some current financial highlights. Nick.
spk04: Thank you, Dr. Shane, and good afternoon, everyone. To normalize the effect of the pandemic, we will provide a brief overview of our financial results for the full year 2021. And the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 2019, our last calendar year pre-pandemic. The press release distributed earlier today will provide a breakdown of our financial results for the year ended December 31st, 2021 and 2020, as well as the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the same prior year period in 2020. For the year ended December 31st, 2021 compared to December 31, 2019, our consolidated net revenue was $7.8 million compared to $6.3 million, representing an increase of approximately $1.5 million, or 24%. The increase in revenue was due to expansion of our user base as well as increased solution sales, which Dr. Shane mentioned earlier in the call. Consolidated gross profit was 59.2% compared to 61.6%. the decline in our gross profit was attributable to our product mix in sales. The consolidated operating loss was $4.9 million compared to $2.1 million. Higher G&A and R&D costs contributed to our larger reportable loss from operations in 2021. The higher G&A costs are due to a larger employee headcount and an increase for our allowance for doubtful accounts and the related bad debt expense in the current year period. During the pandemic, our goal was to get our equipment in the hands of as many qualified businesses as we could to combat the spread of COVID-19. As the pandemic dragged on, some of our customers' businesses slowed down, which caused a delay in payment on their receivables in which we carried in our accounts receivable. As a result of the delay in payment, our allowance for doubtful account was increased accordingly in 2021 to reserve for certain customers who were delayed in paying us. We still have every indication these customers will pay and management is confident these receivables are collectible. Our consolidated net loss was 4.4 million or 25 cents on a per share basic basis compared to a net loss of 2.3 million or 15 cents per basic share. For the three months ended December 31st, 2021, compared to December 31st, 2019, our consolidated net revenue was 2 million compared to 1.9 million, representing an increase of 100,000 or 5%. Consolidated gross profit was 54.4 compared to 56, The decline in gross profit is attributable to our product mix and sales. The consolidated operating loss was $1.7 million compared to $500,000. The increase in loss was attributable to the higher G&A costs, which we discussed earlier. The net loss was $1.7 million or $0.08 on a per basic share basis compared to a net loss of a half million or three cents per basic share. Moving on to the balance sheet. As of December 31st, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately 5.3 million and working capital was 11.1 million. Our shareholder equity was 13.6 million at December 31st, 2021. Now I will turn the call back over to Dr. Shane.
spk03: Thanks, Nick. Brand recognition and market connections are two of the most important factors when growing a business. Just because of these factors, Tomi attends very important conferences and trade shows in order to showcase the technology and further the brand. The latest conference Tomi attended is ACORN Global Surgical Conference and Expo. It hosted over 9,000 healthcare professionals. Tomi displayed the SturaPak and the Stereomyth Surface Unit, both of which saw great interest. With many conferences in person this year, Tomi's attending multiple renowned shows throughout the country, including APEC Annual Conference, which is Infectious Disease Nurses, Interfex, and LAS National Meeting. It's good to be back to live meetings, and I think we will see the results in future earning calls. The goal of attending these shows better educates the market about Osterimus technology and continue to expand our brand recognition. As TOMI continues to expand its brand recognition, it is also looking to improve itself in markets it already involved in. TOMI is preparing for its new 0.35 solution to be launched in the early second quarter. The goal of this product is to provide a better solution and disinfection option for companies in the food safety industry and agriculture. Being able to better serve agriculture and food safety industries will allow TOME to streamline more revenue and further establish Tomi Mist as both an effective and versatile disinfection solution. The food safety arena is a unique opportunity for SteriMist to become more involved because the food industry represents a massive market size, with businesses always looking for ways to become more efficient and productive. SteriMist can help further their productivity by minimizing shutdown times, increasing disinfection efficacy, and providing an ease-to-use disinfection process. Although classic manual cleaning will always provide competition against Steri-MIST in the industry, Steri-MIST products are ideal for major processing facilities and manufacturers as they can disinfect a large space in a small amount of time. Our technology continues to expand around the globe with new patents being acquired and applications submitted. TOMI continues to work with its international partners, becoming a symbol for global disinfection. In 2021, our technology passed the EN 17272 evaluation. The EN 17272 is a European standard for airborne room disinfection in the form of gas, steam, and or aerosol. Tomi can further establish its internal presence with Sterimus products. Our company products produce the best possible results in the three major categories that were tested, disinfection, bacteriophages, applying IHP for 20 minutes and achieving a maximum log reduction, to distribution testing, use biological indicators, which staff of Caucasaurus They were placed in hard-to-reach areas, and all BIs were inactivated with a six-log kill. The last test was conducted to determine the range of effectiveness. BIs were placed around a room with bacteria, yeast, mycobacteria, and, of course, all BIs were killed and activated with a maximum kill rate. All these details may seem a little too scientific for the average person, but the results that were obtained in those European standard tests was not granted to many of our competition. Once again, demonstrating the superiority of IHP technology. Our intellectual property portfolio contains more than 20 utility patents. We have filed and have been granted 32 design patents and have over 200 trademarks registered across eight classes of specification of goods and services. As our technology and education expands, New purchase orders, business partners, and projects will expand with it, establishing Tomi as a premier disinfection brand. Tomi continues to set a global precedence for disinfection and decontamination with its Sterimist brand of products. With your support, Sterimist is to become the global industry standard for disinfection and a recognized brand worldwide. Thank you for your continued support and commitment as we strive to create a healthier world. Operator, right now, I'd like to open this up for questions.
spk02: Certainly. Ladies and gentlemen, the floor is now open for questions. If you have any questions or comments, please press star 1 on your phone at this time. We do ask that while posing your question, please pick up your handset, if you're listening on speakerphone, to provide optimum sound quality. Once again, if you have any questions or comments, please press star 1 on your phone. Please hold while we poll for questions. Your first question is coming from Amit Dayal from H.C. Wainwright. Your line is live. Thank you.
spk06: Good afternoon, everyone. Thanks for taking my question. With respect to some of the sales mix in the fourth quarter, could you give us a breakdown of maybe how much was from solution and how much was from hardware units sold?
spk04: The breakdown probably was around, I would say, 15% of our revenue was attributable to solution sales, and the difference would make up between service, equipment, and accessories. Okay, thank you.
spk06: And then, you know, how should we think about revenues for the cadence for revenues in 2022 from a quarterly perspective?
spk03: So we think that, you know, the first quarter looks terrific for us from our standpoint because we have, you know, over 3 million booked as of last week, and our CESs are improving, which is, you know, the direction that we want to see the company go in because they're extremely profitable from the model because they use a lot of solution, 55-gallon drums versus the 1-gallon containers or the 32-ounce containers. So, I mean, we're looking for a great year, you know, going forward. I think we'll, you know, equal and surpass what has been written about us by the analyst. Okay, understood. Understood. Thank you for that.
spk06: You know, Doc, could you give us any color on what the Boeing opportunity looks like, you know, if it all comes to fruition?
spk03: Which opportunity, Ahmed?
spk06: With Boeing, the work you have going on with Boeing so far?
spk03: It's hard to do. They've been reviewing our technology along with other aviation companies for quite a while. It's a scientific group that's in Boeing. They own two pieces of our equipment. I keep waiting for them to send us a report. They say they're going to publish one. It's not as easy as like just picking up a phone and calling somebody, you know, they're never there, and waiting for them to call back. But from a material standpoint, the product is being used in aviation in the EU successfully. It's passed that test. One of the important aspects of that test was as an aerosol that I was talking about. And material compatibility studies that we have and that we're getting back word of mouth from other aviation companies is superb. So, you know, I don't know if Boeing is waiting because they're looking at, you know, using HEPA systems, which they do use in a lot of their aircraft. They have been using for years. And this is not an urgent issue. requirement from their end, but I know going forward we're going to have a great success in the aviation industry, more from a standpoint of doing their terminal cleans. I'm not quite sure any product is going to be used between flights because they've limited the amount of flights they have. There's a shortage of pilots. There's big issues with timing and leaving on time, et cetera, and getting penalized. So, you know, I think we're going after that market. And, you know, in the material maxi-cleans that they do on all aircraft in different parts of the world, our product far excels anything that they have. Okay, thank you for that. I appreciate it.
spk06: Just maybe one last one for me. You mentioned... you know, a new version of the product coming out for the food safety and the agricultural market. Is this, you know, third quarter, fourth quarter type timeline or, you know, when can we expect this to be launched?
spk03: So it's currently out. We've gotten EPA approval on it and we're printing the label. Our manufacturer is making the product in different quantities and it's going to be a probably at the beginning, a slow acceleration into the food safety industry, but we have a tremendous amount of companies. I can't really discuss one right now, but one's global, it's very interested. So, you know, we're working with them and we're hoping that we can deliver the product at the price that they want it to go ahead and get this out to everybody. So we're excited about it. Uh, that's a good, really good question. Thank you.
spk06: All right. I'll take my other questions off. Thank you.
spk03: Thank you. Thanks so much.
spk02: Thank you. Your next question is coming from John Nelson. Your line is live.
spk05: Thank you. Hi. Um, I have, uh, several questions and, uh, um, The first one is, why do you think the SHIELD study by UCLA is taking so long to be published or released?
spk03: Thanks, John, for the question. So the SHIELD study was a five-year study. It was sanctioned as a grant from the people from Medical Quality Assurance, Medicare, And three years was for data. One year, six months, was at the beginning to get things up and running. Another six months was for data collection by independent statisticians. And the last part is the writing of the paper. So everything's been done. We're through with data. The statisticians are finished. And there are two very well-known, world-renowned authors writing this paper. But they also have other jobs in relationship to infectious disease control. In fact, one's the head of the second largest public health department in the United States. And when they got hit with Omicron, because they're all out in the West Coast, basically, it took them away from what they do is write research reports. So that has delayed it even though we're not behind schedule from the five-year grant.
spk05: Okay. All right. And then the Transport CES, is that product Has that been installed or sold to any particular, I mean, any customers yet, or is that coming in current or future quarters?
spk03: So it's a good question also. It is coming in future quarters. We went into that division because we had an interest from a large partner of ours, a current health care customer, that has 55 ambulances and would like to install it in their ambulances. And we do have a prototype. We are in the process of manufacturing them. And we believe sometime this year, I can't, you know, I'm not going to, I don't know myself, so I can't tell you when, we will have a purchase order for a significant number of them.
spk05: Okay. Then for, you had mentioned earlier in the call some delays coming out of the Australian production facility for the backpack. And my question is, are there is there just one production facility for the backpack or several? And if so, where are they located?
spk03: So currently there's one that was located in Australia. We have another one coming online in the U S and what happened was, you know, because you try to do the best in ordering long lead item parts as one can. And as a company we did, And we were successful, but someone didn't get a certain plastic trigger, which delayed the launch, which we anticipated for the fourth quarter early October, November. And then we started to see them be manufactured, but we were in the middle of December and there was a huge outbreak in Australia and the flights were limited. And there was no way we could really get the product. We got some of it here, but we couldn't get the product and take advantage of that time of the year that we wanted to because of the Omicron breakout that we had globally. And we are now taking advantage of it on the countries that are still in this outbreak, which was, you know, Hong Kong recently and some other countries. So, you know, that's what happened. And now we have plenty of them in stock. We have plenty of interest, and we're going forward in selling them. We held back on marketing, and we just recently waited until we were able to touch the units, and now we're starting our marketing campaign, including on Amazon and in a lot of these trade shows.
spk05: Yeah, and I noticed on the Amazon store – The pricing is, you know, it's significantly more than the units for other sterilizers. Has that been a factor at all in limiting the success or the potential, you think, for the Amazon store? That is... I guess what I'm getting at is the razor blades. Do you think there would be any advantage to making the price differential smaller for the backpack in order to sell more solutions?
spk03: That's a good question. So our concept of going into Amazon was to go into their healthcare end. It's an enterprise that they have and not publicly sell it because it is expensive. We have sold some of them, but the advertising and the marketing of it is what we're really after with that. You know, when it comes to controlling our solution, it becomes a little problematic with Amazon because, you know, you would want to buy the solution, but we don't want to sell it unless you own our technology. In fact, we can't because the EPA, this technology and solution is the first ever EPA registered product. So when Amazon, somebody goes ahead and tries to buy the solution, it became a problem. So we had to recalculate and refigure how we're going to go ahead and sell the product. And we're just doing that now. But for the average person, it is expensive because it's the quality, you know, it's the most highly professional efficacy process in the world. It's as quick as it is. And you have to, I mean, for a person that has an office or a large office or medical practice, you know, hospitals for various parts of the facility. It's a natural for, and police and fire have shown a tremendous interest, along with prisons and schools we're going after, which is highly political. But we think that we will be able to get through all these verticals at an appropriate time.
spk05: Oh, yes. I mean, from everything I've read, it makes Uh, so much sense to use a system like yours. Um, uh, last question, uh, you mentioned, or I should say, uh, I think it was mentioned in the third quarter report, uh, doing continued research on the 1% on a 1% solution with the ag department. Um, what would be the significance of, uh, successful stamp of approval on a 1% solution? That is, what do you hope to accomplish with that 1% versus the 0.35%?
spk03: That's absolutely huge. So we're partnered with the USDA. They've written a number of papers that they've published independently, and they've been doing some research on residual of our product on various vegetables. The 0.35, the new EPA label, is good for plants, for mold, many, many times different types of mold that's hard to kill in the agricultural industry. The 1% would be to apply it directly to food. So we would be able to spray lettuces and tomatoes and... peppers so it would be huge because first we need to show that there's no residual and second we need to show we kill and this is what the USDA is working on so you know that's an absolutely huge worldwide market once we are able to accomplish that would there be do you have any sense for a
spk05: timeline window on the USDA's evaluation of that product?
spk03: Well, the USDA is probably going to publish a paper very soon on further research on the product. The EPA needs to approve the product and every time we go to them they have a PREA date, which is a date window that they take the product and then they approve it by that window. They have been postponing that date because of not having live, you know, live meetings or meetings that, you know, you can meet the whole committee. So it's been delayed, but it's eventually going to happen. You know, I don't know what the excuses could be now. And to tell you the truth, I don't have a total update at the moment, but I think we will get it. And hopefully it's going to be this year. And I know it will have an impact on the agricultural and the food safety and food storage and food transportation. And especially, I mean, we're missing it all because of COVID. Nobody's talking about food-related illnesses. Nobody's talking about infections in foods that are being recalled, and it's not a highlight, you know?
spk05: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Excellent. Wishing you much continued success. Thank you very much.
spk03: Thank you so much for your interest in the company, John.
spk02: Thank you. Your next question is coming from Frank Jones from Mayflower Capital. Your line is live.
spk00: Hey, thanks for taking my questions. So my first question is, you know, with all the chaos in the world and economic uncertainty going on in a lot of your verticals, what's your opinion on the future of the company's growth going forward?
spk03: Great question. So, you know, this company has multiple verticals it can turn to. As you know, in 2020... you know, even though we were successful at it, it probably hurt us because we had a rapid increase in our revenue because we were able to help with the pandemic. You know, we supplied decontamination equipment really to a lot of the world during that time. I think our most profitable vertical is the pharmaceutical and research of the variant space. And These people were working from home during the pandemic unless they were working on vaccines. So the industry that we are most profitable with is all back to work. No matter what there is in the world and the uncertainty that's going on, people are going to need to have drugs and people are going to need to manufacture cosmetics for the body, whether it's to make you look pretty or lotions to put on for diseases. So all of these products eventually will be used, hopefully will be using our technology. And this is why I think we can adapt to world conditions.
spk00: Okay, great. That's helpful. Thank you. And then I noticed there was a material weakness on your K. I understand a lot of companies have this notice, but are there any details that you can share at this time?
spk03: We have a new group of auditors. We have a couple large accounts that have paid us $4.5 million over the last six years. And they're basically, because of COVID, had their operations shut down four times, five times in the countries that they're in. And their balances became past due to a point where They were significantly past due, and the new auditing firm felt there should be a reserve on them, so they made a large adjustment, and that adjustment related transfer to a material weakness. We have created a remediation plan, and we'll be successful with it.
spk00: Great. Okay. That's helpful. Thank you. Yeah, that's all my questions. Thanks a lot, and good luck going forward.
spk03: Thank you all.
spk02: Thank you. That concludes our Q&A session. I will now hand the conference back to management for closing remarks. Please go ahead.
spk03: Again, I want to thank everybody for joining this afternoon and for your excellent questions, and I look forward to speaking to you all after we report our first quarter earnings, which seems like it's right around the block. So everybody have a wonderful afternoon, depending on where you're at. Thank you.
spk02: Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. This concludes today's event. You may disconnect at this time and have a wonderful day. Thank you for your participation.
