Unifire Applauds the Committee Passage of “Make PPE in America Act”

The Legislation Would Mandate Long Term Federal Contracts for Personal Protective Equipment to Incentive Domestic Manufacturing

May 21, 2021 – (Spokane, WA) – Unifire, Inc. (Unifire) applauds the United States Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC) for passing the bipartisan Make PPE in America Act, introduced by HSGAC Chairman and Ranking Member Gary Peters (D-MI) and Rob Portman (R-OH). This critical legislation will foster a domestic supply chain and create a robust industrial base to respond to national PPE needs by requiring associated      contracts issued by the Departments of Defense, Education, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, and Veterans Affairs to include a minimum duration of three years.

“We are grateful for the leadership of Senators Peters and Portman and thank the Committee for their expedient attention to the compelling issue of domestic production of essential PPE,” said Skip Church, President of Unifire. “Creating and maintaining a domestic industrial base is not a simple or easy task, and if the government creates incentives for the industrial base manufacturing these critical items, it will not only provide good, American jobs, but will also ensure a proactive and stable response to unknown PPE needs.”

“The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has made it evident that the American people should not have to rely so heavily on foreign countries for personal protective equipment, and that’s why we must bring PPE production back to our shores,” said Senator Portman, Ranking Member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. “With last week’s passage of the Make PPE in America Act in the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, we are one step closer to making this important legislation law. Long-term contracts give U.S. producers, like Unifire, the certainty to know that their investment in the United States will be worth it because the government will be there to buy the PPE they produce. By re-shoring production of PPE, we can continue to support a safe and effective reopening of our schools, workplaces, and the economy.”

The bill defines PPE as surgical masks, respirator masks and powered air purifying respirators and required filters, face shields and protective eyewear, gloves, disposable and reusable surgical and isolation gowns, and head and foot coverings, or other gear or clothing used to protect an individual from the transmission of disease.

“We saw the alarming result of the lack of domestic supply chain for PPE last year when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and we cannot let our country repeat this mistake,” said Francisco Martinez, Chief Technology Officer of Unifire.” The Make PPE in America Act will go a long way in avoiding other instances where national emergencies require a strong domestic industrial base in place to address the resulting PPE needs. We urge the full Congress to pass this legislation as quickly as possible.”

CEO Commentary

The release of the FY 2020 financials gives me an opportunity to provide some insight into the numbers from my perspective, to opine on what I find valuable in the data, and to communicate a baseline in relation to what I expect from the Company going forward. Please review the FY 2020 audited annual financials and the related Management Discussion and Analysis for details and notes.

My primary focus since joining the Company in October 2020 has been on improving the total financial position of the Company in order to achieve sustained profitability and increase shareholder confidence. These are my highlights:

  • Revenues were $43MM during Q4 2020 compared with a total of $62MM for Q1, Q2 and Q3 combined. The underlying driver to this was a focus on removing the barriers of administrative work from our front-line sales team in order that they may focus on what they do best.
  • The fourth quarter drive increased total revenue for the year to $105.1MM with total expenses of $11.1MM. For context, the Company’s Q4 2020 revenues grew by nearly $84MM dollars compared to the same period in 2019 while reducing total expenses as a ratio from 41% to 11%, reflecting the Company’s commitment to a sound and responsible expense management strategy.
  • Net loss of $1.3MM equates to a $6.1MM improvement over 2019.  The Net loss for FY 2020 is largely attributable to the $1.5MM Stock-based compensation, a non-cash expense which is included as an add back in the Adjusted EBITDA calculation referenced herein. Historical capital costs reflected in the Interest Expense also contributed to the Net loss calculation. The Company recorded an EBITDA for FY 2020 of $1.3MM and an Adjusted EBITDA (exclusive of Stock-based compensation) of $2.8MM.
  • The Company generated sufficient cash flow to increase its overall cash position, reduce outstanding long and short-term debt, and begin funding an increasing number of orders internally as opposed to utilizing expensive capital facilities that would hamper the Companies ability to grow the bottom line.
  • The significance of the Company generating cash flow through operations is that it is indicative that the Company is trending towards positive liquidity and working capital positions. Said another way, the Company is generating enough cash to meet its short-term obligations.
  • The reduction in outstanding legacy debt is another key highlight. While cash flow and time were not enough to retire the entire outstanding debt and bring all operations current, it reflects the Company’s commitment to better margins and expense management. This philosophy is carried forward in to 2021 and the future. 
  • Non-financial highlights include an upgrade to our IT network, accounting software, market changes and brand enhancements.  We have been working to produce new marketing material, videos, and interviews that are being released through our social media channels. I would encourage you to visit and sign up for our newsletter at www.mrscorp.com and to visit Facebook and LinkedIn to follow Mission Ready Solutions and Unifire for additional content.

My excitement over the Company’s ever-improving financial position increases with each milestone achievement and I truly believe that we are only on the first leg of the journey. I look forward to reporting the first quarter 2021 financials which are due to be filed on or before May 31, 2021.  I am confident in the trends and activities of the Company to position ourselves for new contracts and opportunities through 2021 and beyond.

Mission Ready Newsletter | March 2021 Shareholder Update

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

In a previous communication, I touched on “the art of knowing the Order of Operations.” I want to expand on this topic to provide a little insight into the genesis and timing of successful contract awards.

I’ve often heard from shareholders that they are eager to learn when Mission Ready will be announcing new or additional contracts – Though I wish the answer to this question could always be black and white, the reality is that we operate in a complex industry with many dynamics in play. The initial stage of a contract can take several forms – It may be a) as preliminary as a Request for Information (“RFI”) whereby the requestor is simply collecting data in advance of potentially submitting a Request for Proposal (“RFP”), b) as advanced as a concrete Request for Quotation (“RFQ”) with a defined award date, or c) somewhere in between. Depending on various factors, a contract may take several months to develop in the case of an RFI, for example, or advance from solicitation to award very quickly in the case of a sole source solicitation.

Assuming we are to the point where we have submitted our proposal on the solicitation, we then have to wait for a decision to be made.  Though these decisions can be made quickly, it is not uncommon that they are delayed or extended for various reasons, often for reasons entirely outside of our control.  To name a few, a contract award may be delayed due to i) a request for additional information, certifications, etc. from a contracting officer, ii) a high volume of solicitation responses to be reviewed, and/or iii) political reasons. To elaborate on the last example, an election year can bring a great deal of changes to processes as we’ve seen these past few months. A change of President often brings a change in priorities, a change in the policies, and a change in the way Congress reacts. As a further complication, when the balance changes in either the House or the Senate, it can have a ripple effect throughout all of the committees. During these time, ranking members, chairs of committees, etc. are all in flux, which can result in a temporary disruption of federal programs and initiatives. Even without these influences, the response period after a solicitation can span many months. The backlog of pending (to be submitted) and completed (submitted and awaiting response) solicitations in the queue at any given time various considerably depending on factors including the time of year (proximity to government fiscal year-end), size and response criteria of the solicitations, and supply chain capacity. We are ever mindful that our shareholders are eager to learn of the status of bids and new awards, and we remain committed to providing timely updates on all material events and significant corporate developments.

One additional point of clarification is to define the difference between a contract award and an order. Some contracts are specific and contain defined quantities and delivery date. Others, however, are classified as Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (“IDIQ”) awards where there will be provisions under one contract for multiple orders governed by a much broader set of parameters in relation to delivery timelines and value (E.g., minimum, estimated, and maximum quantities and/or value).  Examples of IDIQ awards received by Mission Ready include the contracts announced in our news release dated September 18, 2020, titled ‘Mission Ready Awarded New Contract for an Estimated $127 Million with a Ceiling of $435 Million’ (the “Contracts”).

Further to the Contracts, we continue to facilitate the delivery of personal protective equipment for the Strategic National Stockpile as we work through the current queue of purchase orders received from the United States Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”). Facilitated through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Unifire, Inc. (“Unifire”), our team has performed tremendously well in fulfilling the purchase orders received to date across the Contracts, and we are diligently working to leverage this performance for additional orders during the term of the Contracts. In fact, in approximately 6 months, we have delivered 13,328,670 isolation gowns out of an aggregate order of 18 million ordered, as reported in a news release dated March 10, 2021, titled: Mission Ready Provides Update on Product Deliveries, Strategy to Maximize Contract Value.

Switching gears, I often get requests for the Company to increase its communications via social media and other channels. As announced in a news release dated February 2, 2021, we have engaged the services of Victory Media and various consultants to spearhead the rollout of a targeted communications and marketing plan. I am excited to announce that during the 2nd quarter of this year, we expect to launch our newly branded corporate website alongside a new e-commerce site and social media platforms which is expected to greatly enhance the flow of news and other communications. The aim is to provide transparent and comprehensive access to relevant and interesting news on the Company’s operations, and to ensure that readers are kept well-informed on the current and future direction of the Company.

Following the release of our Q4 2020 audited results which are due to be filed on or before April 30, 2021, I also expect to take part in some exciting media relations opportunities such as a podcast, video interviews and social media initiatives. Through these supplemental communications channels, we will not only provide further insights into the Company’s financial outlook, but also look ahead to 2022 and beyond. It is, indeed, a busy time for us!

I’ve said it many times, and I will continue to say it – I am exceedingly proud of our team and their drive to build something awesome. I am grateful to each and every shareholder who has believed in us and continues to go on this journey with us.  I am optimistic about our future and look forward to what every day holds for each of us. We have made tremendous strides to become One Company, led by One Team, moving in One Direction.

As COVID-19 continues across the globe, I hope that each and every one of you and your families stay safe, healthy and connected to your loved ones and communities in whatever way you can during these difficult times.

Sincerely,
Buck Marshall
President & CEO
