KAILUA KONA, Hawaii–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cyanotech Corporation (Nasdaq Capital Market: CYAN), a world leader in
microalgae-based, high-value nutrition and health products, today
announced financial results for the second quarter and first six months
of fiscal year 2017, ended September 30, 2016.

Second Quarter 2017

For the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 compared to the second
quarter of fiscal year 2016, net sales were a record $9,862,000 compared
to $8,516,000, an increase of 16%. Gross profit was $3,885,000, with
gross profit margin of 39.4%, compared to gross profit of $3,100,000 and
gross profit margin of 36.4%. Operating income was $247,000 compared to
operating loss of ($139,000). Net income was $99,000 or $0.02 per
diluted share, compared to net income of $14,000 or $0.00 per diluted
share.

Commenting on the second quarter of fiscal 2017 results (changes shown
vs. the second quarter of fiscal 2016), Gerry Cysewski, Ph.D.,
Cyanotech’s President and CEO, noted:

“Net sales growth of 16% was driven by an 18% increase in sales of our
packaged products and an 8% increase in sales of our bulk products.
Growth in our packaged products was primarily due to our Costco
expansion. During this quarter, BioAstin expanded into an additional 64
warehouse stores in Costco’s Northwest region and now is available in
252 Costco warehouses, or roughly 52% of their domestic total.

“We are also seeing strong increases in our sales of bulk spirulina, due
to higher international demand.

“Gross profit margin increased by 3 percentage points due to a reduction
of promotional discounts and lower cost per unit of spirulina resulting
from higher production compared to last year.

“Operating expenses increased by $399,000, driven by an increase in
legal costs of $761,000 related primarily to an ongoing litigation
matter, offset mainly by a decrease of $176,000 in auditing fees and a
decrease of $146,000 in advertising spending.”

Please review the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September
30, 2016 for more detailed information.
