Wood said the company is optimistic it will perform well as sales leaders leverage technology investments to drive product demand and interest in the business opportunity. “The situation in Mainland China is stabilizing with the country returning to work, a key development we believe will translate into improvement throughout the year. We anticipate similar trends in most of our other markets as pandemic restrictions begin to ease elsewhere across the globe. We continue to believe this trend, paired with the global preview of our newest beauty device late in 2020, sets our business up for a return to growth toward the end of the year.”

“We continued to generate strong gains in operating income and adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) during the third quarter while holding revenue consistent with the prior-year period,” Darren Jensen, president and CEO, said in announcing the results.
“While the current global health pandemic has had a modest negative impact on our business activities, our operating model and the recurring revenue base inherent in our subscription model is demonstrating resiliency across our global footprint and our strong balance sheet and robust cash flow position our company very well.”

“Even as the oil and gas industry weakened over the last year, we were on pace to exceed our earlier expectations for 2020 when the world suddenly changed in March. The COVID-19 pandemic impact on the oil industry is creating significant declines in the North American rig count, which had already been falling. As a result, demand for our products and services in the U.S. has declined.”
Middle East activity is expected to slow also. “We believe the actions we have taken will enable us to weather this storm and be in a solid position when the market stabilizes,” he said. “As we previously announced, cost reductions included the reduction of executives’ salaries and directors’ fees by 20 percent, compensation reductions of 5 percent to 10 percent for management and salaried staff, workforce reductions and deferral of product development. In addition, we have implemented hiring freezes and eliminated discretionary spending.”

Although our volumes have declined, we expect that navigating this crisis will make us a stronger and more nimble company in the future.”

Our projections lead us to believe that we can maintain course and double our 2019 fiscal year revenues in 2020 and achieve our corporate goal of profitability by the end of this calendar year.”

“Despite 1Q 2020 overall higher sales and gross profits, those increases fell short of UTMD’s expectations due to a delay in ‘elective surgeries’ resulting from COVID-19,” Kevin Cornwell, CEO, said in announcing the results. “Sales of the Filshie Clip System worldwide fell precipitously in March, and have continued that way in April. Filshie device sales were 36 percent of consolidated UTMD revenues in 2019, and were projected to grow in 2020 as a result of direct to end-user distribution in the U.S.”
Cornwell said the company does not expected any shortage of its specialty devices.
“Fortunately, despite current challenges, we can operate exempt from the CARES Act without government support and any restrictions that might go along with that, such as limits on share repurchases and dividends. In other words, I am confident in the company’s continued viability and the prospect that future stockholder dividends are safe.”

More people are working from home and virtually, he said. “Although these modifications, and COVID-19 in general, negatively impacted our business during the quarter, strong consumer demand for our high-quality, essential, health products and successful promotions helped us deliver operating results moderately ahead of our expectations,” he said.

The company, he said, has “the structural elements to benefit from what we believe, at least in the near-term, will be increased staycations and higher levels of interest in health, wellness and the outdoors.
