Management Commentary
“The cost and Company structures we now have, remain scalable and provide us with room to grow. What we have put in place has allowed us to enjoy significant year-over-year increases in revenue,” stated Ryan Oviatt, CFO of Profire. “This quarter we continued our revenue growth trajectory and remained focused on
positioning the Company for the future. Profire has been able to manage costs throughout the downturn and initial recovery, and will continue to do so as the Company invests in additional products, technology and people to keep up with demand.”
“With superior products and a dedicated team of employees, Profire has successfully navigated a volatile market. Despite the volatility, we recognized great success during the quarter including our total revenues for the quarter surpassing $10 million,” said Brenton Hatch, President and CEO of Profire Energy. “We continue to add features to the 3100 system in order to offer a competitive product that meets customer expectations and drives innovation within the industry. In addition to the 3100, other new products are presently being developed. We believe that new technologies, like Profire products, are essential parts of our customers’ long-term strategies.”
