- Net income for Q3 2024 was $611,858, a turnaround from a net loss of $(718,161) in the same quarter last year.
- Operating cash flow for the first nine months of 2024 increased significantly to $5,909,621, compared to $3,284,641 for the same period in 2023, reflecting improved financial health.
- The CEO indicated optimism for 2025, suggesting potential for strong profit growth from both existing and new business opportunities.
Potential Negatives
- The company recorded a significant accounting expense of $385,123 related to the sale of a Florida LLC, which contributes to a perception of potential instability in financial reporting.
- Despite reporting a net income of $611,858 for Q3 2024, it is crucial to note that this figure was influenced by a one-time accounting loss, which could obscure the underlying operational performance.
- The reliance on non-GAAP measures to report operating cash flow could raise concerns regarding the transparency and consistency of financial metrics being presented to investors.

VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. (NYSE Amex: FSI),
is the developer and manufacturer of biodegradable polymers for oil extraction, detergent ingredients and water treatment as well as crop nutrient availability chemistry. Flexible Solutions also manufactures biodegradable and environmentally safe water and energy conservation technologies. Today the Company announces financial results for third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Mr. Daniel B. O'Brien, CEO, states, "This was another very good quarter and a significant recovery from the year earlier period." Mr. O'Brien continues, "In addition to the improvement in our existing business, we believe we advanced our new food product opportunities in the quarter and hope to announce some success relatively soon. We feel that 2025 might see a strong upside in profits for both existing and new business."
Sales for the third quarter(Q3) were $9,314,937, up approximately 7% when compared to sales of $8,720,621 in the corresponding period a year ago.
Q3, 2024 net income was $611,858, or $0.05 per share (see note below), compared to a net loss of $(718,161), or $(0.06) per share, in Q3, 2023.
The accounting treatment for the 2024 sale of the Florida LLC resulted in a $385,123 accounting expense ("Loss on sale of investment") see Form 10-Q: Note 9(d)). The 6-payment structure of the sale results in an accounting loss at payment one which reverts to actual gains at payment two and subsequently. Earnings would have been 7 cents per share without this one-time item.

Notes
:
certain items not related to "operations" of the Company's net income are listed below.
a)
Non-GAAP – Flexible Solutions International, Inc. owns 65% ENP Investments, LLC and ENP Mendota, LLC and 80% of 317 Mendota, LLC. Therefore Operating Cash Flow
NON-GAAP
is adjusted by the pre tax net income or loss of the non-controlling interests in these companies. An adjustment to operating cash flow has been made to account for the use of a pre tax amount versus an after tax amount which was originally used up to, and including, September 30, 2023.
b)
Non-GAAP – amounts exclude certain cash and non-cash items: Depreciation and Stock compensation expense (2024 = $1,941,038, 2023 = $1,757,645), Interest expense (2024 = $465,138, 2023 = $369,967), Loss on sale of investment (2024 = $385,123, 2023 = N/A), Loss on lease termination (2024 = 41,350, 2023 = N/A) Interest income (2024 = $141,202, 2023 = $58,565), Gain on investment (2024 = $330,750, 2023 = $423,957), Income tax (2024 = $1,190,044, 2023 = $873,861), and pretax Net income attributable to non-controlling interests (2024 = $682,110, 2023 = $689,780). Although included in expenses these onetime expenditures were not directly related to operations of FSI *See the financial statements for all adjustments.
c)
The revenue and gain from the 50% investment in the private Florida LLC announced in January 2019 are not treated as revenue or profit from operations by Flexible Solutions given the Company only purchased 50% of the LLC, an amount that has now been reduced to 19.9%. The profit is treated as investment income and therefore occurs below Operating income in the Statement of Operations. As a result, the gains and losses from all investments, including those from the Florida LLC, are removed from the calculation to arrive at Operating Cash Flow.
d)
Non-GAAP – amounts represent depreciation and stock compensation expense.
