BRITISH COLUMBIA, Canada--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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, 2014.

Mr. Daniel B. O’Brien, CEO, states, “Disappointing revenue for the second quarter and first half of the year was offset by better cash management which was made possible by the decision to stop operations in Taber. The result was increased earnings on lower sales. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we received news that a pilot WaterSavr program has started in Wichita Falls, Texas which, if successful could result in significant revenue in 2015.”

• Sales in the second quarter (Q2) were $4,286,731, down approximately 12% when compared to sales of $4,884,629 in the corresponding period a year ago. The financials give a Q2, 2014 accounting net income of $399,753 or $0.03 per share compared to an accounting net income of $70,169, or $0.01 per share in Q2, 2013.
• Basic weighted average shares used in computing per share amounts in Q2 were 13,169,991 for both 2014 and 2013.
• Non-GAAP operating cash flow: For the 6 months ending June 30, 2014, net income reflects $367,271 of non-cash charges (depreciation and stock option expenses), as well as net income tax ($98,709), interest expense ($52,772) items not related to operating or current operating activities. When these items are removed the Company shows operating cash flow of $762,927, or $0.06 per share. This compares with operating cash flow of $975,138, or $0.07 per share, in the corresponding 6 months of 2013 (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.

Mr. O’Brien adds, “We are not satisfied with our first half revenue and are taking all reasonable steps to return to top line growth. Q3 2014 is likely to be similar to the year earlier in revenue terms, however, as agricultural preorders begin in late fall, we hope to see a resumption of top line growth in the fourth quarter.”

* CEO, Dan O’Brien has scheduled a conference call for 11:00am EST, 8:00am PST, Friday August 15th to discuss the financials. Call 1-888-461-2024 (or 1-719-325-2323). The conference call title, “Second Quarter Financials,” may be requested.*
