VICTORIA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 14, 2015 / FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. (NYSE 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 financial results for the second quarter (Q2) ended June 30, 2015.
Mr. Daniel B. O’Brien, CEO, states, "Second quarter top line revenue was disappointing. We attribute the decline to agriculture sales that might have occurred in Q2 being pulled forward into Q1. We are pleased with our operating cash flow for the quarter and the first half."
- Sales in the second quarter (Q2) were $3,900,922, down approximately 9% when compared to sales of $4,286,731 in the corresponding period a year ago. The financials give a Q2, 2015 accounting net income of $318,671 or $0.02 per share compared to an accounting net income of $399,753, or $0.03 per share in Q2, 2014.
- Basic weighted average shares used in computing per share amounts in Q2 were 13,169,991 for both 2015 and 2014.
- Non-GAAP operating cash flow: For the 6 months ending June 30, 2015, net income reflects $320,368 of non-cash charges (depreciation and stock option expenses), as well as net income tax ($672,703), interest expense ($32,177), loss on sale of equipment ($45,249) and interest income ($2,963) which are items not related to operating or current operating activities. When these items are removed the Company shows operating cash flow of $1,890,470, or $0.14 per share. This compares with operating cash flow of $762,927, or $0.06 per share, in the corresponding 6 months of 2014 (see the table that follows for details of these calculations).
The NanoChem division continues to produce most of FSI's revenue and cash flow. New opportunities are unfolding to further increase sales in this division.
