PFTI Puradyn Filter Technologies Inc (CE)

Puradyn Filter Technologies Incorporated (OTCQB: PFTI) today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Net sales decreased by 1.2% in 2013 compared to 2012. Domestic sales, which represented 89.8% of net revenues in 2013, increased approximately 6.5% compared to 2012. International sales decreased to approximately 10.2% of the Company’s consolidated net sales in 2013 compared to 16.7% in 2012. International sales declined in 2013 compared to 2012 due to one major customer’s reduction in filter purchases.

Net loss in 2013 was approximately $1.33 million or ($0.03) per share, basic and diluted, as compared to a net loss of approximately $2.23 million or ($0.05) per share, basic and diluted, in the previous year.

Loss from operations improved slightly at approximately $1.32 million in 2013 from $1.44 million in 2012. Cost of products sold, as a percentage of sales, also improved slightly, to approximately 71% for 2013 from approximately 76% for 2012.

Kevin G. Kroger, President and COO, stated, “Revenues for 2013 were disappointing, however, based on orders received to date, we are showing a strong first quarter in 2014. In 2013 we were able to add two new distributors, both with solid track records in their respective industries, which will be able to introduce our product to industries and regions in which we have had only limited success. In addition, recent articles in trade magazines regarding our technology’s success in helping one of our customers save millions of dollars annually are increasing recognition of our product’s performance.”

Kroger, concluded, “Based upon customer feedback and progress reports on current product evaluations, we remain optimistic in 2014.”
