Rhea-AI Summary

American Bio Medica Corporation (OTCQB:ABMC) reported financial results for Q2 and H1 2021, showing a $112,000 decrease in drug test sales compared to Q2 2020 due to reduced workforce and budgets related to Covid-19. By June 30, 2021, open sales orders valued at $128,000 were recorded, attributed to increased lead times for raw materials. Contract manufacturing sales have risen, indicating a rebound in testing needs. Operating expenses decreased by 32.9% year-over-year. The company also applied for forgiveness of its $332,000 PPP loan, expected to be fully forgiven soon.

  • Drug test sales decreased by $112,000 in Q2 2021 compared to Q2 2020.

KINDERHOOK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 18, 2021 / American Bio Medica Corporation (OTCQB:ABMC) today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Chief Executive Officer Melissa A. Waterhouse stated, "Our drugs testing markets continue to return to some sense of normalcy; however, some markets are still requiring a lower amount of tests due to reduced workforce, telecommuting and reduced budgets as customers are still using their financial resources to address Covid-19 issues. Drug test sales decreased $112,000 in the second quarter of 2021 when compared to the second quarter of 2020. However, at June 30, 2021, we had open sales orders for ABMC drug tests in the amount of $128,000; most of which were orders received in the second quarter. This increase in backorders is due to unexpected longer lead times for certain raw materials; particularly with materials that are also used in Covid-19 lateral flow tests and plastic components. We have now adjusted our purchasing schedules to account for these longer lead times. The vast majority of the decline in the year over year sales in the second quarter 2021 was due to lower Covid-19 test sales; however, we are starting to see some positive impact from the new Covid-19 tests we started distributing in late April/early May 2021. It's too early to know the level of impact the new offerings could have on sales; however, we don't expect to see the same extraordinary level of sales we recorded in 2020."

"Contract manufacturing sales increased for the second consecutive quarter in 2021, when compared to the same quarters in 2020 as we start to see the need for drug tests and other diagnostic tests rebound from 2020 levels. We shipped products (from the open purchase orders from 2020) in the second quarter of 2021 and we are shipping more products against those purchase orders in the third quarter of 2021. The new order, received in April 2021, is also expected to ship in the third quarter of 2021. In addition, in the third quarter we are starting to see increased orders of the RSV test that is private labeled for a large diagnostic company. Unfortunately, the pilot we started in the second quarter did not result in a new account as the entity elected to make the investment to increase their own manufacturing capabilities. We are still focusing our efforts to obtain more contract manufacturing accounts. "

Waterhouse concluded, "Operating expenses declined 32.9% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020 as we continue to manage expenses so they remain in line with sales levels. We also applied for forgiveness of the $332,000 PPP loan we received in 2020. To date, the SBA has reviewed our application for forgiveness and set the amount of forgiveness to the full amount of the loan. Given this, we expect to receive notification shortly from the SBA that our loan is forgiven."
