Recent Operational and Technical Highlights
We formed PBI Agrochem, a wholly owned subsidiary, to integrate the assets of a global eco-friendly "green" agricultural products company, and to focus on the development of a new generation of products further enhanced by our revolutionary Ultra Shear Technology™ (UST™) platform.
We announced receipt of over $1,000,000 in orders for PBI Agrochem in just its first month of operations.
We set up a U.S. warehousing, processing, and product packaging facility for PBI Agrochem.
We continued to make measurable progress in the acquisition of assets of our targeted global eco-friendly agrochemical supplier. Their assets are expected to be accretive to PBI, with sustained profitable revenue growth beginning immediately after the close of the purchase.
We unveiled an aggressive "Growth Plan," including multiple important goals that we believe can be accomplished in 2021.
We reported that UST-enabled CBD nanoemulsions soared past our one-year product stability goal; results open explosive growth potential for water-soluble CBD (and other active ingredient infused) beverages worldwide.
We reported the successful nanoemulsification of Astaxanthin - one of the world's most potent antioxidants.
We were awarded three additional patents for our revolutionary UST platform (Japan, Australia, and China).
Mr. Richard T. Schumacher, President and CEO of PBI, commented: "Our Q1/Q2 2021 financial results clearly rank amongst the best first half results ever achieved by PBI. What makes them even more exciting is that revenue and operating income to date do not include any results from PBI Agrochem, as this subsidiary was just formed in July. We believe that once PBI Agrochem results are integrated with the results of the core business, the combination will be significantly accelerated in both revenue and operating income beyond any previous period. The success achieved to date in 2021, combined with the positive impacts of achieving even a few of the aggressive goals that we have set for the 2nd half of 2021 makes this a terrific time to be a stakeholder in PBIO."
