Biotech Investing

American Bio Medica Corporation today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

American Bio Medica Corporation (OTCPK:ABMC) today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Chief Executive Officer Melissa A. Waterhouse stated, “We are continuing
to take steps to halt the sales declines we have been experiencing for
some time now but, admittedly organic growth in our industry is
challenging. Additional product and service offerings and a
reorganization and refocus of our sales and marketing department are
underway. At the same time, we are reviewing other potential
relationships that could enable ABMC to further broaden its product
offerings and branch out into other markets.”
Waterhouse continued, “Gross profits were negatively impacted in the
third quarter of 2016. Our gross profit was 43.1% of net sales in the
third quarter of 2016 compared to 48.2% in the third quarter of 2015.
This decline is a direct result of less strip production in the third
quarter 2016 when expenses to manufacture remained flat. We do not
expect further significant declines in gross profits. And finally, from
an operational perspective, we will continue to be fiscally conservative
and keep expenses in line with revenues.”
Financial Highlights

  • Net sales in the third quarter of 2016 were $1,417,000 compared to
    $1,590,000 in the third quarter of 2016, a decrease of 10.9%. Net
    sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $4,392,000
    compared to net sales of $4,785,000 in the nine months ended September
    30, 2015, a decrease of 8.2%.
  • Operating loss was $60,000 in the third quarter of 2016 compared to an
    operating income of $61,000 in the third quarter of 2015. Operating
    loss was $136,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2016,
    compared to an operating loss of $80,000 in the nine months ended
    September 30, 2015.
