CUI Global, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Financial Results

"In our Energy segment, our ability to leverage integration sales to drive for greater adoption of our gas technology products became evident in 2017 as integration awards began to include a product component. We recently secured a $4.6 million integration project for the UK's gas transmission network that included in its tender proposal a requirement for our GasPT and VE thermowells," continued Mr. Clough. "Business development activities for our energy products has resulted in an elevated industry profile and greater business activity as prospective customers respond favorably to the GasPT and VE technology's respective value propositions. Our pipeline of potential Energy product opportunities today comprises a larger number of major energy producers than a year ago, including a broader footprint in North America where we are positioning our GasPT device as a fiscal monitoring solution in addition to its use in process control applications. We are seeing demand build for our VE sampling probes and systems across a broad array of applications and have made significant inroads raising this technology's visibility to major market participants. In the fourth quarter, we secured a second order for our sampling system for a second ethylene plant."

Concluded Mr. Clough, "As we enter fiscal 2018, we have ahead of us multiple paths for growth in both segments of our business. With our new, larger facility in Houston in operation, we now have access to larger integration opportunities from energy operators in the region, while in Europe we see the return of large projects that had been put on hold following the Brexit vote. Our efforts have already begun to yield results with almost $7.0 million in Energy projects secured year-to-date. In North America and Europe, we have seeded opportunities for GasPT and VE technology sales that we believe will bear fruit this year. We expect continued strength in our direct OEM and distribution channel businesses with incremental gains from sales of our ICE products. We have the technology, business development foundation and financial strength to pursue our growth goals and ensure our long-term success."

Recent Business and Operational Highlights:

• CUI Global announced that its Orbital UK subsidiary secured contracts totaling $4.58 million to enhance fuel gas metering and compressor efficiency on the UK's gas transmission network. The award is the Company's first non-biomethane project to include GasPT and VE thermowells products;
• The Company received UL 9540 certification for its ICE Block data center hardware. With the receipt of UL certification, ICE Block is now fully certified and saleable in the market;
• CUI Global announced that its Orbital Gas Systems North America (Orbital N.A.) subsidiary was awarded a $2.1 million integration project from a large U.S.-based energy, procurement, and construction firm for which Orbital N.A. is the sole-source integrator. The award follows the recent opening of Orbital N.A.'s new, larger production facility in Houston to service bigger opportunities with the region's largest gas operators;
• The Company's CUI Inc. subsidiary received an initial purchase order for 400 of its ICE Block devices and additional ICE Switches valued at approximately $2.9 million for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2018;
• CUI Global's Orbital N.A. was awarded a fourth purchase order in as many months for its GasPTi device from a leading U.S.-based power and energy producer. The devices are being utilized in a process control application to optimize the efficiency and minimize maintenance on certain of the customer's gas-fired compressor turbines in the northeastern United States;
• CUI Global was awarded project approval for an open-invitation competition by French pipeline operator ENGIE's Lab Crigen research and operational expertise center whose goal is to identify projects that use innovative solutions for testing the quality of biomethane.
