Total$1,694,926 $1,872,348 

NOTE 6 – LEASES

We have leases for office equipment and office space. The leases for office equipment are classified as financing leases and the typical term is 36 months. We have the option to extend most office equipment leases, but we do not intend to do so. Accordingly, no extensions have been recognized in the right-of-use asset or lease liability. The office equipment lease payments are not variable, and the lease agreements do not include any non-lease components, residual value guarantees, or restrictions. There are no interest rates implicit in the office equipment lease agreements, so we have used our incremental borrowing rate to determine the discount rate to be applied to our financing leases for purposes of determining our lease liabilities. The weighted average discount rate applied to our financing leases is 4.50% and the weighted average remaining lease term is 29.5 months.

The following table shows the components of financing lease cost:
For the Three Months Ended March 31,
Financing Lease Cost20222021
Amortization of right-of-use assets$12,418 $11,567

Because our office space leases are substantially all considered to be short-term, we have elected not to recognize them on our balance sheet under the short-term recognition exemption. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, we recognized $20,652 and $16,262, respectively, in short-term lease costs associated with office space leases.

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company held 4,586,540 and 4,076,909 shares of its common stock in treasury at a total cost of $6,729,856 and $6,107,593, respectively.

On September 15, 2021, the Company's board of directors authorized a share repurchase program allowing the Company to repurchase up to $2,000,000 worth of the Company’s common stock from time to time through September 30, 2022. All purchases under this program will be made at the discretion of management. The size and timing of purchases depends on price, market and business conditions and other factors.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had 373,956 restricted stock units ("RSUs"), 399,854 performance-based RSUs, and 861,700 stock options outstanding with $576,248 in remaining compensation expense to be recognized over the next 1.5 years. See further details below about certain subsets of these outstanding equity-based awards.

2021 EIP and LTIP

On May 28, 2021, the Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved the 2021 Executive Incentive Plan (the “2021 EIP”) for Brenton W. Hatch, the Company’s Executive Chairman, Ryan W. Oviatt, the Company’s Co-CEO, Co-President, and CFO, Cameron M. Tidball, the Company’s Co-CEO and Co-President, Jay G. Fugal, the Company’s former Vice President of Operations, and Patrick D. Fisher, the Company’s Vice President of Product Development. The 2021 EIP provided for the potential award of incentive compensation to the participants based on the Company’s financial performance in fiscal 2021. The incentive compensation was payable in cash and stock, and the stock portion of the incentive compensation was intended to constitute an award under the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).

Participants were eligible to receive incentive compensation based upon reaching or exceeding performance goals established by the Compensation Committee for fiscal 2021. The performance goals in the 2021 EIP were based on the Company’s total revenue, EBITDA, and a non-financial milestone relating to revenue source diversification. Each of these performance goals were weighted one third in calculating incentive compensation amounts.

PROFIRE ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
On March 2, 2022, the Compensation Committee approved the incentive compensation amounts based on achieving certain targets pursuant to the 2021 EIP. The incentive compensation amounts earned under the 2021 EIP were paid 50% in cash and 50% in shares of restricted stock under the Plan. The incentive compensation amounts resulted in the Compensation Committee approving a one-time bonus for company executives that was settled by issuing a total of 182,626 shares of common stock, or 120,097 shares net of tax withholding. These shares were fully vested as of March 2, 2022.

In addition to the 2021 EIP, the Board also approved as a long-term incentive plan, the grants of restricted stock unit awards to Messrs. Oviatt, Tidball, Fugal, and Fisher pursuant to the Plan (the “2021 LTIP”). The 2021 LTIP consists of total awards of up to 204,543 RSUs to Mr. Oviatt, up to 204,543 RSUs to Mr. Tidball, up to 85,908 RSUs to Mr. Fugal, and up to 47,973 RSUs to Mr. Fisher, pursuant to two separate restricted stock unit award agreements (collectively, the “2021 LTIP Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements”) between the Company and each participant. One agreement covers 33% of each award recipient’s RSUs that are subject to time-based vesting, and the other agreement covers the remaining 67% of such award recipient’s RSUs that may vest based on performance metrics. Upon vesting, the award agreements entitle the award recipients to receive one share of the Company’s common stock for each vested Unit. The vesting period of the 2021 LTIP began on January 1, 2021 and terminates on December 31, 2023 (the “2021 LTIP Performance Vesting Date”).

The RSUs subject to time-based vesting, including 68,181 RSUs to Mr. Oviatt, 68,181 RSUs for Mr. Tidball, 28,636 RSUs to Mr. Fugal, and 15,991 RSUs to Mr. Fisher, will vest in three equal annual installments beginning December 31, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2023 if the award recipients’ employment continues with the Company through such dates.

The performance-vesting RSUs, including up to 136,362 RSUs for Mr. Oviatt, 136,362 RSUs for Mr. Tidball, 57,272 RSUs for Mr. Fugal, and 31,982 RSUs to Mr. Fisher, are eligible to vest over a three-year performance period beginning January 1, 2021 based upon the following Company performance metrics:

Performance MetricWeightTargetAbove TargetOutstanding
Total Shareholder Return
1/3135%194%253%
Relative Total Shareholder Return 1/3Third QuartileSecond QuartileFirst Quartile
EBITDA as a Percentage of Total Revenue 1/310%15%20%

One-third of such performance-vesting RSUs, consisting of 45,454 RSUs for Mr. Oviatt, 45,454 RSUs for Mr. Tidball, 19,091 RSUs for Mr. Fugal, and 10,661 RSUs for Mr. Fisher, are eligible to vest for each of the three performance metrics identified in the table above. The number of RSUs that will vest for each performance metric on the 2021 LTIP Performance Vesting Date shall be determined as follows:
if the “Target” level for such performance metric is not achieved, none of the Units relating to such performance metric will vest;
if the “Target” level (but no higher level) for such performance metric is achieved, 50% of the Units relating to such performance metric will vest;
if the “Above Target” level (but no higher level) for such performance metric is achieved, 75% of the Units relating to such performance metric will vest; and
if the “Outstanding” level for such performance metric is achieved, 100% of the Units relating to such performance metric will vest.

Mr. Fugal resigned, effective October 31, 2021, from his position as Vice President of Operations to pursue an opportunity as CEO of another company. Accordingly, Mr. Fugal did not receive incentive compensation under the 2021 EIP and will not receive incentive compensation under the 2021 LTIP, and his unvested RSUs have been forfeited.

The foregoing summary of the 2021 EIP, the 2021 LTIP and the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements is qualified in its entirety by the text of the 2021 EIP and each of the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements, which the Company filed as exhibits to its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

2021 RSUs

On February 18, 2021, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved a restricted stock award of 18,852 shares of common stock to each of Cameron M. Tidball and Ryan W. Oviatt. Messrs. Tidball and Oviatt entered into Restricted Stock Award Agreements, the forms of which were approved pursuant to the Plan. These restricted stock awards, which vested immediately, were settled by the issuance of a total of 27,334 shares of common stock, net of tax withholding and resulted in $45,999 of compensation expense.

On June 16, 2021, pursuant to the annual renewal of director compensation, the Board approved a grant of 189,471 RSUs to the Company's independent directors. Half of the RSUs vested immediately on the date of grant and the remaining 50% of the RSUs will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date or at the Company's next annual meeting of stockholders, whichever is earlier. The awards will result in total compensation expense of approximately $216,000 to be recognized over the vesting period.

NOTE 8 – REVENUE

Performance Obligations

Our performance obligations include providing product and servicing our product. We recognize product revenue performance obligations in most cases when the product is delivered to the customer. Occasionally, if we are shipping the product on a customer’s account, we recognize revenue when the product has been shipped. At that point in time, the control of the product is transferred to the customer. When we perform service work, we apply the practical expedient that allows us to recognize service revenue when we have the right to invoice the customer for the work completed. We do not engage in transactions acting as an agent. The time needed to complete our performance obligations varies based on the size of the project; however, we typically satisfy our performance obligations within a few months of entering into the applicable sales contract or service contract.

Our customers have the right to return certain unused and unopened products within 90 days for a restocking fee. We provide a warranty on some of our products ranging from 90 days to 2 years, depending on the product. See Note 5 for the amount accrued for expected returns and warranty claims as of March 31, 2022.

Contract Balances

We have elected to use the practical expedient in ASC 340-40-25-4 (regarding recognition of the incremental costs of obtaining a contract) for costs related to contracts that are estimated to be completed within one year. All of our current sales contracts and service contracts are expected to be completed within one year, and as a result, we have not recognized a contract asset account. If we had chosen not to use this practical expedient, we would not expect a material difference in the contract balances. Occasionally, we collect milestone payments up front from customers on larger jobs. These payments are classified as deferred revenue until the deliverables have been met and revenue can be properly recognized in our financial statements. Each of the contracts related to these milestone payments is short-term in nature and we expect to recognize associated revenues within one year. As a result, we consider it appropriate to record deferred revenue for these transactions and do not have any other contract liability balances.

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with ASC 855 "Subsequent Events," Company management reviewed all material events through the date this report was issued.

On April 6, 2022, the Compensation Committee approved the 2022 Executive Incentive Plan (the “EIP”) for, Ryan W. Oviatt, Cameron M. Tidball, and Patrick D. Fisher. The 2022 EIP provides for the potential award of incentive compensation to the participants based on the Company’s financial performance in fiscal 2022. If earned, the incentive compensation will be payable in cash and stock, and the stock portion of the incentive compensation is intended to constitute an award under the Plan. In addition to the 2022 EIP, the Board also approved as a long-term incentive plan the grants of restricted stock unit awards to Messrs. Oviatt, Tidball, and Fisher pursuant to the Plan (the “2022 LTIP”).

2022 EIP

Under the terms of the 2022 EIP, each participating executive officer has been assigned a target incentive compensation amount for fiscal 2022. The target incentive compensation amount for Mr. Oviatt is $198,000, the target incentive compensation amount for Mr. Tidball is $198,000, and the target incentive compensation for Mr. Fisher is $64,750 CAD.

Participants will be eligible to receive incentive compensation based upon reaching or exceeding performance goals established by the Compensation Committee for fiscal 2022. The performance goals in the 2022 EIP are based on the Company’s total revenue, EBITDA, and a non-financial milestone relating to revenue source diversification to be determined by the Compensation Committee. Each of these performance goals will be weighted one third in calculating incentive compensation amounts.

The incentive compensation amounts earned under the 2022 EIP, if any, will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in shares of restricted stock under the Plan. In no event shall the total award exceed 200% of the target incentive compensation amount for each participant, or exceed any limitations otherwise set forth in the Plan. The actual incentive compensation amounts, if any, will be determined by the Compensation Committee upon the completion of fiscal 2022 and paid by March 15, 2023, subject to all applicable tax withholding.

2022 LTIP

The 2022 LTIP consists of total awards of up to 230,232 RSUs to Mr. Oviatt, up to 230,232 RSUs to Mr. Tidball, and up to 43,023 RSUs to Mr. Fisher, pursuant to two separate restricted stock unit award agreements (collectively, the “2022 LTIP Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements”) to be entered between the Company and each participant. One such agreement will cover 33% of each award recipient’s RSUs that are subject to time-based vesting, and the other such agreement will cover the remaining 67% of such award recipient’s RSUs that may vest based on performance metrics. Upon vesting, the award agreements entitle the award recipients to receive one share of the Company’s common stock for each vested Unit. The vesting period of the 2022 LTIP began on January 1, 2022 and terminates on December 31, 2024 (the “2022 LTIP Performance Vesting Date”).

Overview

We are a technology company providing solutions that enhance the efficiency, safety, and reliability of industrial combustion appliances while mitigating potential environmental impacts related to the operation of these devices. Our legacy business is primarily focused in the upstream, midstream, and downstream transmission segments of the oil and gas industry. However, in recent years, we have commenced identifying applications and completed several installations in other industries where we believe our solutions will be applicable as we expand our addressable market over time. We specialize in the engineering and design of burner and combustion management systems and solutions used on a variety of natural and forced draft applications. We sell our products and services primarily throughout North America. Our experienced team of sales and service professionals are strategically positioned across the United States and Canada providing support and service for our products.

Principal Products and Services

Across the energy industry, there are numerous demands for heat generation and control. Applications such as combustors, enclosed flares, gas production units, treaters, glycol and amine reboilers, indirect line-heaters, heated tanks, and process heaters require heat as part of their production and or processing functions. This heat is generated through the process of combustion, which must be controlled, managed, and supervised. Combustion and the resulting generation of heat are integral to the process of separating, treating, storing, incinerating, and transporting oil and gas. Factors such as specific gravity, the presence of hydrates, temperature and hydrogen sulfide content contribute to the need for heat generation in oil and gas production and processing applications. Our burner-management systems ignite, monitor, and manage pilot and burner systems that are utilized in this process. Our technology affords remote operation, reducing the need for employee interaction with the appliance's burner for purposes such as re-ignition or temperature monitoring. In addition, our burner-management systems can help reduce emissions by efficiently reigniting a failed flame, thereby improving efficiencies and up-time. Our extensive service and combustion experience provides customers with solutions that are consistent with industry trends and regulatory requirements to mitigate environmental impacts and reduce emissions through increased efficiency.

Oil and gas companies, including upstream, midstream, downstream, pipeline, and gathering operators, utilize burner-management systems to achieve increased safety, greater operational efficiencies, and improved compliance with industry regulations. Without a burner-management system, a field employee must discover and reignite an extinguished burner flame, then restart the application manually. Therefore, without a proper burner-management system, all application monitoring must be accomplished in-person, directly on-site. This requirement for on-site monitoring, in an environment with limited field personnel, can result in the potential interruption of production for long periods of time and increased risks associated with reigniting a flame, which can lead to site hazards, including explosions and the possibility of venting gas into the atmosphere. In addition, without a burner-management system, burners often operate for longer durations, frequently with lower efficiency, resulting in increased equipment fatigue and greater expense related to fuel consumption. We continue to assess regulatory requirements on behalf of our customers. We believe that burner-management systems and services offer solutions for customers to meet compliance standards where applicable. In addition to product sales, we dispatch specialized service technicians to provide maintenance and installation support throughout the United States and Canada.

We initially developed our first burner-management controller in 2005. Since that time, our systems have become widely adopted throughout the United States and Western Canada. Profire burner-management systems have been designed to comply with widely accepted safety and industrial codes and standards in North America, including those prescribed and certified by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) standards.

Our systems and solutions have been widely adopted by exploration and production companies, midstream operators, pipeline operators, as well as downstream transmission and utility providers. Our customers include, Antero, ATCO, Chevron, CNRL, Concho Resources, Devon Energy, Dominion Energy, EQT, Kinder Morgan, National Grid, Ovintiv, Oxy Range Resources, Williams, XTO, and others. Our systems have also been sold and installed in other parts of the world including many countries in South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Though firmly established and primarily focused on North American oil and gas markets, we continue to invest in expansion efforts in international markets and the broader combustion industries.

Environmental, Social and Governance Focus

As guiding principles and core to our strategy, our products and solutions are developed with a focus on safety, environmental impacts, reliability and efficiency. Protecting human life, protecting the environment, and protecting our customers’ investments are key guiding principles. Our products play a crucial role in supporting our customers’ existing and future initiatives regarding improving workplace safety and environmental impacts.

Our burner-management technology is designed to monitor, operate, and manage a wide array of complex industrial heat-applications. Providing our customers with safety-approved and certified technology, purposefully designed and built to meet regulatory requirements and process needs, is a critical component of our customers’ safety protocols and initiatives.

Proper burner and combustion management control, coupled with peripheral solutions, increase site and location safety while reducing emissions. Profire technology and solutions are integrated into a variety of applications to significantly reduce the release of methane and volatile organic compounds into the environment.
16



Profire burner-management controls and complementary solutions provide users with the ability to monitor field equipment remotely. This reduces truck rolls and the need for field personnel to travel to and manually inspect burner malfunctions in remote sites and locations. Our automated solutions help our customers improve safety, reduce emissions, and decrease operating costs.

Operator safety is at the heart of our burner-management solution technology. Integration of our solutions and products helps our customers increase the likelihood that their employees return home safe each day. Adding greater physical distance between humans and the combustion process, as well as ensuring gas supplies are properly shut off when no flame is present, are two of the critical elements of how our burner-management solutions help protect human life.

Results of Operations

Comparison quarter over quarter

The table below presents certain financial data comparing the most recent quarter to prior quarters:
For the three months ended
March 31, 2022December 31, 2021September 30, 2021June 30, 2021March 31, 2021
Total Revenues$9,503,140 $8,286,346 $6,943,198 $6,034,283 $5,092,349 
Gross Profit Percentage47.9 %41.6 %44.9 %44.0 %42.7 %
Operating Expenses$3,867,710 $3,747,177 $3,437,757 $3,252,169 $2,978,912 
Income (loss) from Operations$688,994 $(298,049)$(318,289)$(594,437)$(804,225)
Net Income (Loss)$627,161 $(145,123)$92,246 $(397,166)$(601,500)
Operating Cash Flow$(1,192,349)$(308,894)$(598,001)$(264,843)$1,820,665 

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, increased by 87% or $4,410,791 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, which was driven by improved customer demand associated with industry recoveries from the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant rise in oil prices, and an increase in rig counts. The average oil price during the three months ended March 31, 2022, was $95.18 per barrel compared to $58.09 per barrel for the same period of last year, representing an increase of 64%. Additionally, the first quarter of 2022 weekly average rig count for North America was 816 compared to 522 in the same period of last year, which represents an increase of 56%. Customer demand increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, in response to these industry trends.

Our gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2022 was up 5.2% from the same quarter of last year. The gross margin percentage normally fluctuates each quarter due to changes in product mix and product related reserves, which impacted the most recently concluded quarter. The gross margin of the first quarter of 2022 also benefited from greater fixed cost coverage from the significant increase in revenue over prior quarters.

Operating expenses increased $888,798 from the same quarter of last year, which is primarily a result of increases in employee related costs and travel expenses as we unwound the significant cost reduction measures implemented in 2020 and 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting oil market supply and demand dynamics.

Due to the factors discussed above, we reported income from operations of $688,994 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to a loss from operations of $804,225 for the same quarter in 2021.

Due to the combination of factors discussed above relating to revenues, gross profit margin and operating expenses, we reported net income of $627,161 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to a net loss of $601,500 for the same quarter in 2021.

Operating cash flows decreased during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, due primarily to changes in working capital balances, including increases in customer accounts receivable and inventory and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
17



Working capital at March 31, 2022 was $21,181,782, compared to $20,510,600 at December 31, 2021.

Our liquidity position is impacted by operating, investing and financing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we used $1,192,349 of cash in operating activities, primarily due to a large increase in accounts receivable driven by strong sales, particularly towards the end of the quarter, and an increase in inventory, due to our strategic investment approach to mitigate certain supply chain challenges. We expect to collect accounts receivable balances and convert inventory supply into sales during the remainder of 2022. Operating activity trends consist of cash inflows and outflows related to changes in operating assets and liabilities. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we generated $584,770 of cash from investing activities, primarily due to the sale of certain financial investments. Investing activity trends consist of changes in the mix of our investment portfolio, purchases or sales of fixed assets, and acquisition activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we used $725,990 of cash in financing activities, primarily related to purchases of treasury stock during the quarter. Financing activity trends consist of transactions related to equity awards and purchases of treasury stock pursuant to our open share repurchase program. The extent to which our liquidity position will be impacted in the future depends on industry trends and developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence. As of March 31, 2022, we held $15,186,373 of cash and investments that form our core excess liquidity which could be utilized, if required, due to the issues described above. See also Item 1A. Risk Factors for further discussion on the impact of COVID-19 on our business.
