LINDON, Utah, Aug. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Profire Energy, Inc. PFIE, a technology company (the "Company") which creates, installs and services burner and chemical management solutions in the oil and gas industry, today reported financial results for its fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018. A conference call will be held on Thursday, August 9, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. EDT to discuss the results.

Fiscal Q2 2018 Highlights

  • Recognized Revenue of $11.3 million, The Second-Best Quarter in 9 Fiscal Quarters
  • Net Income of $1.7 Million or $0.04 Per Share, a 31% Increase From the Same Quarter Last Year
  • Realized Gross Profit of $5.9 Million
  • Cash and Liquid Investments at Period End totaled over $21 Million
  • Remained Debt-Free

Fiscal Quarter Financial Results
               
Total revenues for the period equaled $11.3 million or a 20% increase from the same quarter a year ago. This increase is largely attributed to our ability to leverage our expanding customer base.
               
Total operating expenses were approximately $3.8 million or a 21% increase over the same quarter last year which was highly attributable to the growth in staff and additional R&D spend. Compared with the same year ago quarter, operating expenses for general and administrative increased 23%, R&D increased 15%, and depreciation decreased slightly.

Gross profit increased to $5.9 million or 52.1% of total revenues, as compared to $5 million or 52.6% of total revenues in the year-ago quarter. Gross profit margins fluctuate slightly each quarter due to product mix changes, increased direct labor costs, and adjustments in our inventory and warranty reserves.

Net income was $1.7 million or $0.04 per share, compared to a net income of $1.3 million or $0.03 per share in the same year-ago quarter.

Cash and liquid investments totaled over $21 million at the end of the quarter and the Company continues to operate debt-free.

Management Commentary

"We continually seek opportunities that can help further our strategic goals and currently have the resources and balance sheet to make investments that we believe will be beneficial to Profire and its shareholders," stated Ryan Oviatt, CFO of Profire. "Our management team remains focused on allocating spending to meet market demand and to accelerate growth potential. We have focused our investment in R&D over the past year as we believe the new SIL certification, which allows us to enter new markets that we could not previously serve, and product enhancements will be significant drivers for future growth."

"In addition, we continue to look at merger and acquisition opportunities that will complement our existing product offerings and leverage our sales force and customer base," said Brenton Hatch, President and CEO of Profire Energy. "We have a renewed focus on automation, including the exploration of the internet-of-things capabilities, and other technologies that could be used within our market. These adjacent technologies could allow Profire to become a leader in not only burner management but in a variety of processes within our industry."
