Flexible Solutions (FSI) Q2 Earnings Beat Estimates, Revenues Lag
Read MoreHide Full Article
Flexible Solutions International Inc. (FSI - Free Report) logged profits of $1.18 million or 9 cents per share for second-quarter 2021 compared with a profit of $1.13 million or 9 cents in the year-ago quarter. Earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 7 cents.
The company registered revenues of around $8.5 million for the quarter, up roughly 11% year over year. The top line missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8.6 million. The higher sales are attributable to shipping of orders that missed the cut-off for first-quarter 2021, and also sales that could not be shipped in the first quarter due to the lack of raw materials resulting from shipping delays.
