FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER, 2007 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Conference call scheduled for Wed. Aug. 15th, 11:00am Eastern time, 8:00am Pacific Time See dial in number below
VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Aug 14, 2007 – FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. (AMEX: FSI, FRANKFURT: FXT), a developer and manufacturer of biodegradable and environmentally safe, water and energy conservation technology, as well as anti-scalant and crop nutrient enhancement products, today announces financial results for the second quarter (Q2) ended Jun. 30, 2007.
Mr. Daniel B. O’Brien, CEO, states, “This was another successful quarter for FSI resulting in a significantly smaller loss than Q2, 2006 on similar operating revenues. The slightly lower than expected sales was a result of decreased sales performance in the Ecosavr pool product. As a result the pool division has undergone a reorganization and marketing of Ecosavr has been assigned to the historically successful Heatsavr executive. We expect this will lead to increased Ecosavr sales in 2008 and more effective use of personnel.”
- Sales in the second quarter (Q2), were $2,143,107, down slightly when compared to sales of $2,250,388, in the corresponding period a year ago. The result was a GAAP accounting net loss of $70,477, or $0.01 per basic weighted average shares for Q2, 2007 compared with a significantly higher net loss of $344,627, or $0.03, in Q2, 2006.
- Basic weighted average shares used in computing per share amounts for the quarters were 13,841,489 for 2007 and 12,982,898 for 2006.
- Non-GAAP operating cash flow: For the 6 months ending Jun. 30, 2007 net income reflects $535,182 of non-cash charges (depreciation and stock option expenses), and when non-cash charges are removed, the Company shows positive operating cash flow of $440,491 or $0.03 per share. This compares with operating cash flow of $441,904, or $0.03 per share, in the corresponding 6 months of 2006 (the 2006 cash flow number excludes Income tax recovery, an amount not related to 2006 operations, as given in the following table).
Heatsavr sales continue to grow at a stong rate as a result of not only higher energy costs but also higher water costs. Heatsavr reduces energy costs by reducing evaporation of warm pool water. As a result of sales growth the Heatsavr brand is gaining end user recognition. Sales of WaterSavr grew substantially in 2006 and 2007 and significant new opportunities for sales from around the world are the result of the product’s success. The NanoChem division continues to contribute substantially to sales and cash flow and, new opportunities are unfolding to further increase sales in this division. NanoChem sales are much less seasonal than those of our WaterSavr and Flexible Solutions Ltd divisions. This has lead to less volatility in total revenue figures quarter over quarter.
