Oxnard, California - April 26, 2021 - CDTi Advanced Materials, Inc. (OTC: CDTI) ("CDTi" or the "Company"), a leader in advanced catalyst technology, reported its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Matthew Beale, the Company's CEO, stated, "CDTi returned to growth in 2021 driven by successful new product introductions and an improvement in the global trading environment during the second half of the year. Business momentum created in the second half of 2021 has carried into the early months of 2022 as our products and technology address key value drivers for our customers and their end users including platinum group metal ("PGM") price volatility, rising fuel costs and increasingly stringent emissions standards.

"The push for energy independence and investment in new technologies for the hydrogen economy are driving CDTi to innovate as we develop new catalysts for hydrogen production and energy storage. These initiatives offer exciting long-term growth prospects that complement our solutions for emissions control and fuel efficiency," concluded Beale.
