OurPet’s Company (OPCO) Combining Record Financial Performance with Continued Innovation to Bolster Leadership Position in Pet Industry
Earlier this month, OurPet’s Company (OTCQX: OPCO) made headlines when it reported record financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The company’s first quarter net revenue increased by 10.3 percent from the previous year, totaling $6.17 million. Similarly, OPCO’s net income rose by 24.7 percent over the previous year to a record total of $266,581. These strong results continue to highlight the company’s success in promoting growth through multiple sales channels. OPCO’s sales through e-commerce channels were up 14 percent over the previous year, while sales through food, drug and mass retail channels grew by eight percent.
“These results reflect our continued ability to successfully execute our business strategy,” Dr. Steven Tsengas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OPCO, stated in a news release. “We are pleased that all major product categories showed a strong performance with Waste & Odor up 64%, Toys/Accessories up 10% and Bowls/Feeders up 9%.”
Despite recording a slim year-over-year decrease in gross profit margin due to product mix, OPCO continues to position itself for sustainable growth by focusing on minimizing overhead costs. The company’s selling, general & administrative expenses as a percentage of total sales dropped by a full percent from the first quarter of 2015, while income from operations increased by 16.5 percent to $415,269. In line with its goal of minimizing costs, OPCO also made progress on an initiative to reduce its inventory below $7 million by the end of the year, dropping inventory from $7.91 million at the beginning of the year to $7.44 million at the end of the first quarter.
While this strong financial growth should be enough to catch the attention of prospective shareholders, OPCO has also unveiled its next innovation in the roughly $62.75 billion pet space. At the Global Pet Expo international trade show in Orlando, Florida, the company introduced its new Intelligent Pet Care™ product line, which leverages Bluetooth and wireless connectivity to enhance the bond between pets and pet owners. The SmartScoop® – Intelligent Litter Box, SmartLink™ Feeder – Intelligent Pet Bowl and SmartLink™ Waterer – Intelligent Water Fountain are specially designed to monitor and wirelessly report on various activities that can be interpreted as indicators of pet health, such as elimination behavior, eating and drinking.
Since its founding in 1995, OPCO has remained dedicated to enhancing the bond between pets and pet parents by marketing high quality, innovative products. Look for the company to continue pursuing this goal as it leans on the tremendous experience of its management team and the marketability of its advanced Intelligent Pet Care™ product line. With strong financial growth and a commitment to the advancement of the industry, OPCO is primed to build on its position as a leader in the global pet market moving forward.
