Appulse Corporation: Reporting 2020 results

CALGARY, Alberta, April 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Appulse Corporation ("Appulse" or "the Corporation") today reported revenues of $10,461,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $11,095,000 for the previous year. Income before tax for the 2020 fiscal period was $ 1,096,000 compared to $ 894,000 for the comparative 2019 year. Net income for the 2020 fiscal year was $1,096,000 ($.08 per share) compared to $859,000 ($.06 per share) for the prior year.

The decline in parts and service revenues during the 2020 fiscal year was attributed primarily to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Corporation expects recovery in these revenue categories as the pandemic declines and customer service levels return. The Corporation's customer base extends from coast to coast in Canada, with 20% of 2020 revenues derived from customers in the United States. A reduction in operating costs during 2020 offset the impact of lower revenues. Travel and related expenses were reduced in 2020, as were compensation costs, including the recognition of funds received under the federal Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy program.

Economic conditions in Canada, and across the world, continue to reflect the ongoing battle with the Covid-19 pandemic. Appulse will remain focused on the development of its food and beverage markets, traditionally representing approximately 80% of total revenues. The Corporation is an essential supplier to food and beverage producers and continues to be fully operative at both its Calgary, Alberta and Waterloo, Ontario facilities.
