VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Aug. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. (NYSE Amex: FSI), 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Mr. Daniel B. O’Brien, CEO, states, “Second quarter was disappointing. We had predicted a rebound which did not occur. Sales in our new food products have been slow to come and we think it may take longer than expected to develop this market vertical.” “Mr. O’Brien continues, “We are observing headwinds in most of our markets now and expect full year revenue to be flat to mildly down compared to 2022.”

  • Sales for the second quarter(Q2) were $10,331,291, down approximately 7% when compared to sales of $11,165,143 in the corresponding period a year ago.
  • Q2, 2023 net income was $809,865, or $0.07 per share, compared to a net income of $1,662,455, or $0.13 per share, in Q1, 2022.
  • The lower earnings reported for Q2, 2023 were due to higher cost of goods, lower sales and product mix.
  • Basic weighted average shares used in computing earnings per share amounts were 12,435,532 and 12,384,131 for Q2, 2023 and Q2, 2022 respectively.
  • Q2, 2023 Non-GAAP operating cash flow: The Company shows 6 months operating cash flow of $3,220,674, or $0.26 per share. This compares with operating cash flow of $4,422,664, or $0.36 per share, in the corresponding 6 months of 2022 (see the table and notes that follow for details of these calculations).

The NanoChem division and ENP subsidiary continue to be the dominant sources of revenue and cash flow for the Company. New opportunities continue to unfold in detergent, water treatment, oil field extraction, turf, ornamental and agricultural use to further increase sales in these divisions.

Notes
: certain items not related to “operations” of the Company’s net income are listed below.

a) Non-GAAP – Flexible Solutions International purchased 65% of ENP in 4th quarter, 2018 (October 2018). Therefore Operating Cash Flow is adjusted by the pre tax Net income or loss of the non-controlling interest in ENP. An adjustment to Operating cash flow has been made to account for the use of a pre tax amount versus an after tax amount which was originally used in that year.
b) Non-GAAP – amounts exclude certain cash and non-cash items: Depreciation and Stock compensation expense (2023 = $1,118,100, 2022 = $581,743), Gain on acquisition of ENP Peru (2023 = N/A, 2022 = $335,051), Interest expense (2023 = $250,368, 2022 = $109,757), Interest income (2023 = $53,185, 2022 = $32,141), Gain on investment (2023 = $326,703, 2022 = $214,316), Income tax (2023 = ($654,149), 2022 = ($1,255,248), and pretax Net income attributable to non-controlling interests (2023 = $381,276, 2022 = $448,682). Although included in operating expenses these onetime expenditures were not related to operations of FSI. *See the financial statements for all adjustments.
c) The revenue and gain from the 50% investment in the private Florida LLC announced in January 2019 are not treated as revenue or profit from operations by Flexible Solutions given the Company only purchased 50% of the LLC. The profit is treated as investment income and therefore occurs below Operating income in the Statement of Operations. As a result, the gains from all investments, including those from the Florida LLC, are removed from the calculation to arrive at Operating Cash Flow.
d) Non-GAAP – amounts represent depreciation and stock compensation expense.
