For the year, the company reported revenues of $28,353,000 compared to $36,839,000 a year ago. Loss from continuing operations was $5,884,000 compared to $15,658,000 a year ago.

The company expects 2018 full-year revenue from its baseline, specialty emissions business for retrofit, oil and gas, mining and materials handling applications to be approximately $10 million. Based on the roll-out of current customer programs in China and India, sales of CDTi's materials is expected to increase during the later part of 2018 and management will provide additional information regarding its contribution to 2018 and beyond in the coming months. Gross margin is expected to range between 20% to 30% as the company continues to exit its manufacturing operations in its pursuit of its long-term 40% gross margin target. As CDTi realizes the full benefit of headcount reductions resulting from the sale of Durafit™ and the exit of the company's high-volume coating activities in the third and fourth quarter of 2017, along with the significant cost-cutting measures completed as part of CDTi's business realignment, the company expects its operating expenses will be approximately $8 million for 2018.
