Pharma-Bio Serv Announces Results for the Quarter Ended April 30, 2013
DORADO, PUERTO RICO--(Marketwired - Jun 14, 2013) - Pharma-Bio Serv.
(OTCQB: PBSV), a global compliance and validation services consulting
solutions provider, announced net revenues for the three and six months
ended April 30, 2013 of $8.3 and $15.9 million, an increase of approximately
$1.2 and $2.5 million, or 17% and 18%, respectively, when compared to the
same periods last year.
The Company reported net income for the three and six months ended April 30,
2013 of approximately $1.4 and $2.4 million, an increase of $0.2 and $0.1
million, respectively, when compared with the same periods last year.
Revenue growth for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013, over the
same period last year, is mainly attributable to increases in the United
States Consulting market and Lab services, respectively, offset by a
decrease in revenues in the Integratek division and other minor revenue
gains from other Company divisions.
Net income growth, when compared to the same period last year, is
attributable mainly to the aggregate increase in overall gross margins,
offset by the increase in selling general and administrative expenses to
support the favorable revenue trend and business development expenses to
diversify our markets, and the effective income tax rates (including Puerto
Rico favorable tax grants) over income before tax.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months
ended April 30, 2013 were approximately $1.4 and $2.7 million, respectively,
a net increase in expenses of approximately $0.4 and $0.8 million,
respectively, as compared to the same periods last year. Business
development and operations support expenses in the Puerto Rico and United
States markets were increased to follow the consulting business favorable
revenue trend. In addition, the Company made business development
investments in Spain to diversify its European division market.
"We are very pleased with our continued performance in expanding our U.S.
presence while efficiently managing our costs," said Nélida Plaza,
Acting Chief Executive Officer, Acting President, Secretary and President of
Puerto Rico Operations. "Our growth is a testament to our ability to
continue to expand our US market base and increase our Lab services
business," she continued.
