UNITED-GUARDIAN REPORTS NINE MONTH RESULTS
|
Hauppauge, NY, November 9, 2007 – United-Guardian, Inc. (AMEX:UG) today released its financial results for the third quarter of 2007. Earnings after taxes for the first 9 months of the year were up 35% over last year, increasing from $1,983,249 ($0.40 per share) in 2006 to $2,678,520 ($0.54 per share) in 2007. For the three months ended September 30th earnings increased 10% from $710,868 ($0.14 per share) in 2006 to $783,205 ($0.16 per share) in 2007. Sales for the 9-month period were up 16% from $8,139,067 in 2006 to $9,408,156 in 2007, while sales for the 3-month period declined slightly from $2,755,062 in 2006 to $2,647,450 in 2007.
Ken Globus, President of United-Guardian, stated “I believe that it is important to point out that earnings for the first nine months of 2007 were only $0.01 per share less than our earnings for all of last year. This is the result not only of strong sales of our personal care products, but also our ability to reduce our cost of goods sold this year, which also enabled us to increase our earnings for the 3-month period even though sales were down slightly. Based on our year-to-date sales and earnings we expect this to be our strongest year ever.”
United-Guardian is a manufacturer of cosmetic ingredients, personal and health care products, pharmaceuticals, and specialty industrial products.
