CreditRiskMonitor Announces Second Quarter Results

VALLEY COTTAGE, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 10, 2023 / CreditRiskMonitor® (OTCQX:CRMZ) reported operating revenues of $4.7 million, an increase of approximately $232 thousand or 5%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the same period of fiscal 2022. The Company reported pre-tax income of approximately $594 thousand, an increase of approximately $298 thousand, for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the same period of fiscal 2022.

Mike Flum, CEO, said, "Corporate bankruptcy filings within our coverage universe of FRISK® and PAYCE® scored businesses have almost doubled year-to-date in 2023 relative to 2022. The seven-month figure for 2023 is also 8% higher relative to the 2020 comparable, without pandemic-induced shutdowns or a bear market to blame. This trend reversal is a harbinger of tumultuous times ahead, especially considering the persistent strength in labor markets and the subsequent need for sustained higher interest rates to contain inflation. Without quick and significant reductions in interest rates, there is potential for a major wave of bankruptcies in the next two years with highly leveraged businesses leveled by their refinancing costs.

We have also accelerated our work on generative AI applications, specifically Large Language Models, with assistance from Hugging Face. There are already some specific use cases in production with more in various stages of ideation, development, and testing. Our investment in such new technologies will reinforce and support our commitment to deliver subscription services whose value exceeds their cost."
