Puradyn Reports 2011 Year End Financial Results

Boynton Beach, FL - [April 5, 2012] - Puradyn Filter Technologies Incorporated (OTCBB: PFTI) today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2011.  

Net sales decreased 13.7% in 2011 compared to 2010, or net sales of $2.68 million in 2011 compared to net sales of $3.11 million in 2010.  The decrease was attributable primarily to one customer’s decline in purchases of the Puradyn product in 2011 due to the completion of outfitting their existing fleet.

International sales increased 20.2% in 2011 compared to 2010, and domestic sales decreased approximately 20.7% in 2011 compared to 2010.  Net loss in 2011 was approximately $1.61 million or ($0.04) per share, basic and diluted, as compared to a net loss of approximately $1.57 million or ($0.04) per share, basic and diluted in the previous year.

Loss from operations increased by approximately $62,000 for 2011 from 2010, or from approximately $1.38 million in 2010 to $1.44 million in 2011.  Cost of products sold, as a percentage of sales, remained relatively constant at approximately 77% for 2011 and 76% for 2010.  

Kevin G. Kroger, President and COO, stated, “2011 sales were not as strong as 2010, as 2010 brought accelerated integration of our system into customer operations that had postponed purchasing in 2008-2009. However, certain customers have made comments to us to expand their purchases of our oil filtration systems in their operations in 2012.  We are encouraged by the fact that as new, potential customers become more sensitive to the increasing price of oil, they begin to search for cost savings solutions within their fleet maintenance programs.  Since the puraDYN^® system allows fleet equipment to operate on constantly clean oil to safely extend oil change intervals, new  prospects understand that safe extension of oil change intervals can produce significant cost saving to their operations.  Also, our technology permits companies to reduce their carbon footprint.

“In 2011 Puradyn achieved a number of milestones which could have a profound positive impact on our future, including 1) becoming a supplier of engine bypass oil filtration systems for John Deere Construction and Forestry Division; 2) strengthening our patent portfolio and laying the groundwork for new technology and product offerings; and 3) enhancing our research, development, and engineering resources as a direct result of customer and OEM requests for our assistance in overcoming field issues associated with Tier-4 engines.”

Kroger concluded, “Overall, we feel confident from the developments of 2011 and remain cautiously optimistic for continuing improvement in 2012.”
