FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OurPet’s Company Reports Record Revenues for 2012 First Quarter
FAIRPORT HARBOR, Ohio – May 2, 2012—OurPet's Company (OTC BB: OPCO) (www.ourpets.com), a leading proprietary pet supply company, today reported record quarter revenue of $5,196,345 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Net Income for the same period was $81,864. Dr. Steven Tsengas, Chairman and CEO, commented, “We are pleased with the sustained revenue increase, in spite of weak economic conditions, and the resumption of profitable operations. First quarter 2012 results were affected in part by transition costs of relocating the Cosmic Pet Operations from Hagerstown, Maryland to Mentor, Ohio and also our new President/COO to Fairport Harbor, Ohio. The Cosmic move should be completed by the end of July 2012. Along with the cost reductions and efficiencies related to the relocation of Cosmic Pet operations to Ohio, it is expected that profitability will continue improving as the year progresses through other actions taken, including reduction of overhead and general administrative personnel, the successful implementation of the ERP system and resultant administrative efficiencies, product cost reductions and selective price increases. During the first quarter 2012, we were successful in reducing inventories by $309,581 and debt by $504,931.”
2012 First Quarter Results
Net revenue increased 8.3% to a record $5,196,345 for the 2012 first quarter compared to $4,795,183 from the same period a year ago. The increase of approximately $401,000 first quarter revenue over the same period in 2011 came primarily from increased sales of our SmartScoop® automatic cat litter box, cat toy and catnip products marketed under the Go! Cat Go!®, Play-N-Squeak® and Cosmic Catnip™ brands and exports. During the first quarter 2011 revenue was positively impacted by a $750,000 one-time promotional order while the first quarter 2012 revenue resulted primarily from base business growth.
Gross profit was $1,315,012 for the 2012 first quarter versus $1,345,421 for the same period in 2011. Gross profit margin declined to 25.3% for the 2012 first quarter from 28.0% for the same period a year ago, mainly due to continued efforts to reduce inventory, premium air freight charges from overseas to take advantage of a large customer opportunity and one-time costs incurred to begin transitioning the Cosmic Pet operation from Hagerstown, Maryland to Mentor, Ohio.
Income from operations was $156,818 for the 2012 first quarter compared to income from operations of $414,121 for the same period last year.
Income before taxes was $111,682 versus income before taxes of $363,692 for the same period in 2011. The Company recognized income tax expense of $29,818 for the 2012 first quarter compared to $127,438 expense for the same period a year ago.
Net income was $81,864 for the 2012 first quarter compared to $236,254 for the same quarter last year. Net income per share was $0.00 for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $0.01 for the 2011 first quarter.
