2022 Second Quarter Net Sales of $12.6 Million, up 35% on a Year-Over-Year Basis

FST Recurring Revenue of $2.2 Million, up 5% on a Year-Over-Year Basis

FST Paid Terminals Up 38% from June 30, 2021

HAMDEN, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 17, 2022-- TransAct Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq: TACT) (“TransAct” or the “Company”), a global leader in software-driven technology and printing solutions for high-growth markets, today reported preliminary operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

“The second quarter marked a return to more normalized Food Service Technology (“FST”) results, particularly in the hardware and label sales categories. Importantly, we now feel that our FST sales team is completely built out, which we believe will pay dividends in the back half of the year and beyond. After attending three important trade shows over the last several months and with our new sales leaders, we are adding quality leads and trials and building a robust pipeline,” said Bart C. Shuldman, CEO of TransAct.

Mr. Shuldman continued, “I am also particularly proud of our engineering, operations, and purchasing teams, who were tasked with finding more parts, re-designing product, and assembling as many printers as they possibly could, which they absolutely did. We began ramping up our production of POS and casino printers in May 2022, shipped many printers in June 2022 and expect near record levels of production and sales of these products in the second half of 2022, barring an unforeseen parts issue. Finally, we are also seeing excellent early results from our previously announced cost cutting initiatives, which combined with leverage from the increased production and projected revenues, we anticipate will result in the Company moving towards breakeven adjusted EBITDA as we progress through the second half of the year.”
