United-Guardian Reports First Quarter Results

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., May 13, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United-Guardian, Inc. (NASDAQ: UG) reported today that, as expected, net sales for the first quarter of 2016 were down compared with last year’s first quarter, decreasing from $4,372,393 in 2015 to $2,262,576 in the first quarter of 2016. As a result, net income decreased from $1,460,510 ($0.32 per share) in the first quarter of 2015 to $525,091 ($0.11 per share) for the first quarter of 2016.

Ken Globus, President of United-Guardian, stated, “While we certainly are disappointed with the decline in sales and earnings in the first quarter of 2016, it was not unexpected based on the information we have been receiving from our marketing partner in China. As we reported previously, towards the end of 2015 we had been informed that there would be no significant purchases of one of our Lubrajel products for shipment to China until the third quarter 2016. This was due to (a) a regulatory issue in China unrelated to Lubrajel but which affected some retail products in which Lubrajel was an ingredient, and (b) overly optimistic sales projections by some of our customers in China, which resulted in excess inventory that had to be worked off. We are hopeful that the resumption of purchases for the Chinese market, along with the additional revenue we hope will be generated by the recent introduction our new single-dose form of Renacidin^®, our most important pharmaceutical product, will result in stronger sales and increased earnings in the second half of the year.”

United-Guardian is a manufacturer of cosmetic ingredients, personal and health care products, pharmaceuticals, and specialty industrial products.
