Appulse Corporation: Reporting results for the First Quarter of 2019
CALGARY, Alberta, May 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Appulse Corporation (“Appulse”) (TSX VENTURE: APL) today reported a net income of $64,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 with revenues of $2,450,000, compared to a net income of $16,000 and revenues of $2,389,000 for the same three-month period of the previous year. Operating cash flow (net income for the period adjusted for items not involving cash) for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was $212,000.
Centrifuge parts revenue continued to grow during the period, reflecting a 20% increase compared to the same quarter of the prior year. The contribution margin realized on the sale of parts was lower than the prior year due primarily to the relative mix between internally manufactured parts and those obtained through third parties. Service revenues also increased during the quarter, while machine sales were lower than the same quarter of the prior year. Management expects a recovery in machine sales commencing in the second quarter and noted that firm machine sale orders for the 2019 fiscal year now total over $1,200,000 compared to machine sales of only $128,000 during the first quarter. Both of the Corporation’s facilities are very active and management anticipates continued growth in revenue during 2019 with an emphasis on its traditional food and beverage customers and increasing involvement in environmental applications.
