Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., May 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — United-Guardian, Inc. (NASDAQ:UG) reported today that net sales for the first quarter of 2020 increased by 4% over the same quarter last year, increasing from $3,180,318 in 2019 to $3,322,914 this year. Net income decreased from $1,222,694 ($0.27 per share) in 2019 to $790,307 ($0.17 per share) this year, which was primarily due to the decrease in value of the company’s marketable securities.
Ken Globus, President of United-Guardian, stated, “Despite the severe impact on the economy of the coronavirus, our first quarter sales remained strong, and continued to be so in April. As an “essential business” we have remained in operation during this coronavirus pandemic, albeit on a reduced and staggered schedule, and we have been able to maintain production and continue to fill orders. The decline in net income was due to the decreased market value of our investments, which resulted from the substantial stock market decline that occurred during the first quarter of 2020. As a result of a change in accounting rules in 2018, companies are now required to include in net income any fluctuations in the market value of their marketable securities, even though no actual gains or losses are experienced. Had it not been for that accounting change, our earnings would have been significantly higher, since our income from operations actually increased from $1,246,352 to $1,310,576. While it is likely that in the coming months we could see a decline in sales of our cosmetic ingredients as the global impact of the coronavirus continues, we are hopeful that sales of our pharmaceutical and medical products will remain strong.”United-Guardian is a manufacturer of cosmetic ingredients, personal and health care products, pharmaceuticals, and specialty industrial products.
