INTERNATIONAL ISOTOPES INC. ANNOUNCES 2021 YEAR END FINANCIAL RESULTS

The Company Reported Increased Sales In All Business Segments and a 3% Overall Increase In Revenue For 2021 Compared to 2020

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho, April 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- International Isotopes Inc. (OTCQB: INIS) (the "Company") announces its financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. 

Total revenues in 2021 were approximately $9.6 million compared to approximately $9.3 million in 2020, which represents an increase of approximately 3%.  Our net loss was $902,347 in 2021, compared to net income about $2.2 million in 2020. Our decrease in net income was largely the result of other income received in 2020 in connection with the settlement of a manufacturing and supply agreement.  That agreement had resulted in one time income to the company in 2020 of approximately $2.5 million.

The following is a summary of significant accomplishments of the Company in 2021:

• Increased sales in the Radiochemical segment by 5% mainly due to a 9% increase in sales of our FDA approved generic sodium iodide I-131 drug product.
  
  
  
• Purchased the remaining 75.5% of RadQual, LLC, making RadQual, LLC and TI Services, LLC wholly-owned subsidiaries of International Isotopes, Inc.
  
  
  
• Successfully obtained cobalt-60 from the Department of Energy (DOE) to increase our cobalt source production activities which contributed to an 11% increase in Cobalt Product revenues.
  
  
  
• Developed several new products for our Nuclear Medicine products segment and expanded these products into Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging standards.

Sales of the Company's radiochemical products accounted for approximately 44% of our total sales revenue in 2021 and 2020.  Sales in this segment increased by approximately 5% in 2021 as compared to 2020 primarily as a result of increasing sales of our new generic sodium iodide I-131 drug product.

Sales of nuclear medicine standards accounted for approximately 40% and 39%, of our total sales revenue in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Sales in this segment increased by approximately 5% as compared to 2020.  This increase in sales is likely due to some improvements in sales seen as the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic begins to subside.

Cobalt products sales accounted for approximately 14% of our total sales revenue in 2021 and approximately 13% in 2020.  Sales in this segment increased by approximately 11% in 2021 as compared to 2020. The increase in revenue within this segment is the result of increased Cobalt Sealed Source Manufacturing supported by increased availability of cobalt from the Department of Energy (DOE) in 2021.  Our sealed source manufacturing generates much of our revenue within this segment and sealed source sales depend to a great extent on our ability to procure this cobalt material.

Steve Laflin, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated, "We continued to see an improvement in all of our business segments financial performance during the past year.  The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has continued to have a negative impact on our business sales in 2021, but in spite of that we still achieved the highest annual revenue for the Company in three years.  We believe we will continue to see significant recovery of markets, patient treatment schedules, and our product sales in 2022.  We will continue to promote sales of our sodium iodide product, and aggressively launch new products within the nuclear medicine standards business segment.  The recent increase in the amount of cobalt available from the Department of Energy (DOE) will continue to facilitate further increases in our cobalt product sales in the coming year.  We believe that the combination of improving market conditions, following the decline in COVID-19 cases, coupled with our growth projections for each of our business segments, should lead to excellent financial performance for the Company in 2022 and beyond."
