FSI Announces First Quarter 2011 Revenue 29% Above 2010 Period
VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, April, 7, 2011 - FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL,
INC. (AMEX: FSI, FRANKFURT: FXT), is the developer and manufacturer of
biodegradable and environmentally safe water and energy conservation
technologies, as well as oil field anti-scalant, detergent, water and
agricultural technology. Today the Company announces a significant year over
year increase in revenues for First Quarter (Q1), 2011.
Sales into oil extraction, agriculture and detergent industries were much higher
than in Q1, 2010. As a result, Flexible Solutions' top line revenue increased
from $3.38million (Q1, `10) to $4.36 million (Q1, `11), up 29% year over year.
The largest driver of FSI's sales growth was agricultural sales. The product is
used to increase fertilizer availability to crops giving higher yields with no
increase in the amount of fertilizer used.
CEO Dan O'Brien states, "This quarter's revenue confirms our strategy of
increased focus on sales into the agriculture market. World crop prices are very
strong, resulting in greater interest in ways to increase yields. We will
further our efforts in agriculture with the expectation of continued growth."
Mr. O'Brien adds, "It is also worth noting that this quarter is the first
quarter that FSI has achieved revenue above $4 million."
