NEWS RELEASE January 15, 2013
FSI Announces an Increase in Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2012 Revenue
VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, January 15, 2013 - FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL,
INC. (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 a year over year increase
in revenues for fourth quarter (Q4), and full year (FY) 2012.
Flexible Solutions' fourth quarter top line revenue increased from $3.37million
(Q4, `11) to $3.85million (Q4, `12), up 14% year over year. Top line revenue for
Full Year 2012 increased from $15.52million (FY,'11) to $16.40million (FY, '12),
up 6% year over year.
Mr. Dan O'Brien, CEO, comments, "We are pleased to see revenue growth resume and
expect the rate of growth to accelerate well beyond the 2012 full year rate in
2013. The strength of the agriculture and energy sectors will largely dictate
the final numbers, but I also count on our dedicated team to achieve this
growth."
The largest increase in FSI's sales came from the agriculture sector. The
product is used to increase fertilizer availability to crops, creating higher
yields with no increase in the amount of fertilizer used. Given current crop
prices, the cost of using FSI's product is a fraction of the value of the yield
increase, which results in a significant net profit for growers, dealers and
distributors.
Complete financial results will be available March 30, 2013 concurrent with our
SEC full year filings.
