FREDERICK, Md., Nov. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (TOMI) (NASDAQ: TOMZ), a global company specializing in disinfection and decontamination utilizing its premier Binary Ionization Technology (BIT) platform through its SteraMist brand of products, today announced its financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021.

TOMI Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Halden Shane stated, In the third quarter, we continued to add premier customers, expanded our technology solutions among our existing base of customers, launched our SteraPak and broadened our sales channels with the addition of our Amazon store. We continued to see positive signs in the marketplace and grew third quarter revenue by 50% sequentially over second quarter 2021 results.

We remain committed to allocating time and resources to several research and development projects as evidenced by the launch of the SteraPak and progress in the development of our SteraMist Surface Select Plus and Transport Custom Engineered System (CES).

In the third quarter, we increased our working capital through a registered direct offering which enables us to expand our internal sales team and broaden our marketing and advertising campaigns to raise brand awareness, and develop new products to meet customer demands and develop additional business opportunities. As we move toward the end of 2021, we are confident that Q4 will demonstrate sequential growth and we are encouraged by the outlook for 2022.

The new tooling and molds will allow us to streamline production and reduce manufacturing lead times and costs for the SteraPak. -- Expanded our SteraMist BIT solution product line with the introduction of a ten (10) liter and five (5) gallon bottles.

Recent Progress with Scientific Studies and Industry Testing:

-- Obtained EPA registration for its 0.35% hydrogen peroxide BIT Solution, an all-in-one disinfectant for use across the entire food supply chain. -- Passed the EN 17272 evaluation. The EN 17272 is the European standard for airborne room disinfection in the form of gas, steam and/or aerosol. -- Pursuing acceptance of the 1% hydrogen peroxide BIT Solution with the EPA. Due to the pandemic, there have been significant delays by U.S. regulatory agencies in approving new submissions, including TOMI's new 1% registration focusing on direct food and agricultural applications. -- Finished gathering successful and critical data from our Shield Study, a multi-year study comparing SteraMist with manual cleaning. Preliminary results collected by the current hospitals in the study are showing a decrease in the transference of pathogens resulting in HAIs and Clostridium difficile infections in the rooms that used SteraMist for their terminal clean, as compared to the rooms that have been manually cleaned. TOMI looks forward to announcing the full results as they are available to make public. -- Partnered with the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of Texas Tech University to conduct a wide range of studies on spray pattern, deposition, and hydrogen peroxide content to compare our 1% label to other similar products on the market. -- Partnered with USDA Agricultural Research Service for continued research on 1% solution. TOMI's long term relationship with USDA ARS continues to achieve results. In March 2021, an article entitled "Hydrogen peroxide residue on tomato, apple, cantaloupe, and Romaine lettuce after treatments with cold plasma-activated hydrogen peroxide was accepted for publication in the Journal of Food Microbiology and we are excepting another paper to be published by the end of the year. -- TOMI continues to work with its German aircraft partner and Boeing in a third-party test required for the aviation industry. TOMI incurs no cost for this work as both testing partners are clients. -- Engaged HYGCEN Germany GmbH to perform a quantitative test of germ carriers for airborne room disinfection and testing of the effectiveness of a method for disinfecting room air to meet the new EU norm (standard) EN 17272. Certification that Binary Ionization Technology meets the new standard will continue to position iHP as the premier decontamination/disinfection technology available on the market today. -- Continued our work with the Virginia State University Agricultural Research Station and its partner, Arkema on a food safety pilot study based on novel, nonthermal, and environmentally friendly technology to control foodborne pathogens on industrial hemp seed as representative model foods. TOMI anticipates the pilot will be completed by the third quarter of 2021.

These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to anticipated financial performance and operating results; upcoming launch of new products; expected growth in sales and market demand; timing and process relating to research studies and testing; impact of COVID-19 pandemic on our business operation; and our ability to execute sale strategies. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on our business and customers; our ability to maintain and manage growth and generate sales, our reliance on a single or a few products for a majority of revenues; the general business and economic conditions; and other risks as described in our SEC filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed by us with the SEC and other periodic reports we filed with the SEC. The information provided in this document is based upon the facts and circumstances known at this time. Other unknown or unpredictable factors or underlying assumptions subsequently proving to be incorrect could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance, or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with U.S. GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures for our historical performance, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. We define EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) is a non-GAAP financial measure and is intended to serve as a supplement to our results provided in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. We believe that these historical non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items and expenses that are not indicative of our core operating results or do not reflect our normal business operations. In addition, our management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate our performance internally and to benchmark our performance externally against competitors. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations in that such non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to those reported by other companies. Although we believe that the use of non-GAAP financial measures enhances its investors understanding of its business and performance, our use of non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP basis financial measures and should be read in conjunction with the relevant GAAP financial measures. Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of our performance in relation to other companies. Because of these limitations, the non-GAAP financial measure used in this release should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We seek to compensate for the limitation of our non-GAAP presentation by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP as set forth below. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
