Pacific Sands, Inc. Reports Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth for Fiscal Six Months
Company Anticipates Fiscal 3Q 2013 Revenue to Show Continued Positive Impact of Marketing Investment
(firmenpresse) - KENOSHA, WI -- (Marketwire) -- 03/07/13 -- Pacific Sands, Inc. (OTCQB: PFSD) (), which manufactures environmentally friendly, non-toxic pool and spa treatment products, and liquid and powder cleaning, laundry, and personal care products, announced financial results for fiscal first half and second quarter 2013. Revenue showed year-over-year quarterly and first half growth, reflecting the company's expanded marketing outreach and expenditure in 2013.
"Even with very modest marketing expenditure in past years, we have successfully grown visibility, distribution and sales for these products," said Michael Michie, President and CEO. "With a new, larger facility, additional equipment in place, and enhanced operating efficiency and volume purchasing power, we determined the 2013 would be the optimal time to accelerate marketing and outreach to expand our visibility with distributors and capture more revenues.
"We have already seen positive results and response during the annual pool and spa pre-season trade shows. Our manufacturing process is efficient, which we believe will contribute to expanded gross profit in the future. While our marketing expenditures had a negative short-term impact on earnings, we believe this marketing support is a key to building volume and adding long-term relationships to drive future revenue."
Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2012 were $863,995 compared with $769,047 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. In fiscal second quarter 2013, net sales were $431,153 compared with $416,217 in fiscal second quarter 2012. The company reported a net loss of $(109,014) per share for the six months of fiscal 2013, compared with net income of $19,688 for the six months of fiscal 2012. The fiscal 2013 results reflected accelerated marketing expenditures, and the fiscal 2012 results included a gain on the sale of the company's direct retail business of $88,795.
Michie said that the company already has confirmed sales in excess of $470,000 in the first two months of fiscal third quarter 2013, which will end March 31, 2013. "Our goal is to double our net sales by this time next year," explained Michie. "While our pool and spa treatment products have been the star performers for us, our Natural Choices product line for consumers has continued to deliver solid results, particularly in the third-party branded non-toxic consumer products."
Michie commented: "Our ability to reduce debt, expand our infrastructure and capacity, and improve our working capital position has enabled the company to invest in and pursue new sales opportunities with the confidence we can effectively meet increased demand. Greater operating efficiency has enabled us to maintain attractive gross margins. We feel the positive results will be seen in future quarters with continuing revenue growth."
