See dial in number below
VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, August 14, 2020 - 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, 2020.
Mr. Dan O'Brien, CEO comments, "Our divisions were busy all quarter making
products for essential services in agriculture and cleaning products. Combined
with normal operations and organic growth, this resulted in a very strong Q2."
Mr. O'Brien continues, "We are happy to be doing what we can to help during the
crisis and will do our best until normal life resumes."
o Sales for the second quarter (Q2), 2020 were up approximately 14% to
$7,709,607 when compared to sales of $6,770,440 for Q2, 2019. The result
was an after tax GAAP accounting net income of $1,132,867, or $0.09 per
weighted average share for Q2, 2020, compared to an after tax GAAP
accounting net loss of $27,733, or $0.00 per weighted average share for Q2,
2019. See 2019 past bad debt expense ($231,696) recognized in Q2, 2019.
This number is not related to Q2, 2019 operating income and if removed
would result in higher net income recognized in Q2, 2019.
o Basic weighted average shares used in computing earnings per share amounts
for the quarter were: 12,240,545 and 11,769,635 for Q2, 2020 and Q2, 2019
respectively.
o Non-GAAP operating cash flow: For the 6 months ending June 30, 2020, net
income reflects $348,191 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 $3,044,425 or $0.25 per share. This compares
with operating cash flow of $1,692,740 or $0.14 per share, in the
corresponding 6 months of 2019 (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 - For 2019 - 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 (2020 = $348,191, 2019 = $373,351), Gain on
investment (2020 = $539,417, 2019 = $259,514), net gain/(loss) on
involuntary disposition of equipment (2020 = N/A, 2019 = N/A), write down
of inventory (2019 = N/A, 2018 = N/A), interest income (2020 = $12,614,
2019 = $55,533), Interest expense (2020 = $156,075, 2019 = $247,472)
deferred tax (expense)/recovery (2020 = N/A, 2019 = $125,999), and Income
tax expense(2020 = $694,648, 2019 = $529,546). 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 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.
