FSI Announces Fourth Quarter 2017 Revenue
VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, January 17, 2018 – FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. (MKT(AMEX): FSI, FRANKFURT: FXT), is the developer and manufacturer of biodegradable polymers for oil extraction, detergent ingredients and water treatment as well as crop nutrient availability chemistry. Flexible Solutions also manufactures biodegradable and environmentally safe water and energy conservation technologies. Today the Company announces a year over year decrease in revenues for fourth quarter (Q4) 2017.
Sales were lower in Q4, 2017 than in Q4, 2016. Flexible Solutions’ top line revenue decreased from $4.08 million (Q4, 2016) to $2.84 million (Q4, 2017), down approximately 30% year over year.
CEO Dan O’Brien states, “The revenue decrease is a combination of reduced uptake by certain customers and product that was sold but not shipped prior to the year end. The unshipped product has left the factory and will be included in Q1 2018 revenue. We are focused on recovering the uptake reduction as quickly as possible.”
Complete financial results will be available at market close on April 2, 2018, concurrent with the Company’s SEC full year audited filings. A conference call will be scheduled for 8:00 am Pacific Time, 11:00 am Eastern Standard Time, Tuesday, April 3, 2018. See the FSI April 2, 2018 financials news release for the dial in numbers.
