VICTORIA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 14, 2019 / FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. (NYSE: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 ended June 30, 2019.

Mr. Dan O’Brien, CEO comments, “Our bottom line was negatively impacted by a significant bad debt charge and by additional tariffs on raw materials. We intend to recover the bad debt through litigation and the tariffs through the tariff drawback program, however, the timing of these recoveries is uncertain.” Mr. O’Brien continues, “All of our divisions and investments with exposure to the agriculture markets were affected by the weather in the US and the international uncertainties of trade. We expect that sales will recover in Q3 and Q4.”

  • Sales for the second quarter (Q2), 2019 were up approximately 63% to $6,770,440 when compared to sales of $4,137,545 for Q2, 2018. The result was an after tax GAAP accounting net loss of $27,733,0, or $0.00 per weighted average share for Q2, 2019, compared to an after tax GAAP accounting net income of $2,135,906, or $0.18 per weighted average share for Q2, 2018. See 2019 past bad debt expense recognized in Q2, 2019 as well as, insurance gain in Q2, 2018 of $1.72million. These numbers are not related to Q2, 2019 or Q2, 2018 operating income respectively.
  • Basic weighted average shares used in computing earnings per share amounts for the quarter were: 11,769,635 and 11,630,991 for Q2, 2019 and Q2, 2018 respectively.
  • Non-GAAP operating cash flow: For the 6 months ending June 30, 2019, net income reflects $373,351 of non-cash charges (depreciation and stock option expenses), loss/gain on involuntary disposition, interest income, interest expense, (gain)/loss on investment, write down of inventory, deferred tax expense, and income tax. These items are items not related to operating or current operating activities. When these items are removed, the Company shows operating cash flow of $1,692,740 or $0.14 per share. This compares with operating cash flow of $1,763,550 or $0.15 per share, in the corresponding 6 months of 2018 (See the table that follows for details of these calculations. Anticipated tariff rebates are not included in the operating cash flow number).

The NanoChem division continues to be the dominant source of revenue and cash flow for the Company. New opportunities continue to unfold in detergent, water treatment, oil field extraction and agricultural use to further increase sales in this division..

Notes: certain items not related to “operations” of the Company have been excluded from net income as follows.

a) Non-GAAP - Provision for Income tax less Deferred income tax recovery = $529,546 less $125,999. See the financials for these numbers.

b) Non-GAAP - amounts exclude certain cash and non-cash items: depreciation and stock option expense (2019 = $373,351, 2018 = $171,496), Gain on investment (2019 = $259,514, 2018 = N/A), net gain/(loss) on involuntary disposition of equipment (2019 = N/A, 2018 = $1,714,261), write down of inventory (2019 = N/A, 2018 = N/A), interest income (2019 = $55,533, 2018 = $6,893), Interest expense (2019 = $247,472, 2018 = $14,487) deferred tax (expense)/recovery (2019 = $125,999, 2018 = N/A), and Income tax expense (2019 = $529,546, 2018 = $459,151). 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 is 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 $259,514 gain from Flexible Solutions share in the LLC is removed from the calculation to arrive at Operating Cash Flow.

d) Non-GAAP - amounts represent depreciation and stock compensation expense.
