FY2022 results
Rubicon Technology swung to net income of $0.9 million in FY2022 ended December 31, 2022, from a $0.7 million loss the prior year, driven by a $1.4 million gain on asset sales including equipment and a Batavia land parcel, while revenue from continuing operations dipped 12% y/y to $3.6 million amid customer concentration—top six buyers claimed 72%—yet gross profit climbed 14% to $1.4 million on better production variances and reserved inventory use. Q4 momentum stayed steady, with backlog shrinking to $1.2 million from $1.7 million, but no quarterly breakdowns disclosed; the Janel tender boosted ownership to 46% while a $27.1 million capital return slashed cash to $1.6 million. A $1.6 million mortgage at 6% funds the Bensenville facility through 2027. Customer reliance risks quarterly swings.
