VALLEY COTTAGE, N.Y., Nov. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- CreditRiskMonitor (OTCQX: CRMZ) reported that revenues were $3.67 million and $10.74 million for the 3 and 9 months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, an increase of 5.5% and 3.9% over the comparable periods last year. For the same periods, the Company reported net income of approximately $203,600 and $55,600, respectively, versus a net loss of approximately ($11,100) and ($353,400) for the comparable 2018 periods. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the nine-month period increased $501,500 to $8.57 million versus the 2018 year-end balance of $8.07 million.
Jerry Flum, CEO, said, “While our operating profitability improved we will continue to invest in our service and people to build a dynamic company even though the market for our services is impacted by a difficult environment for the sale of credit/debt/loan risk analysis. Our development plan is made possible in these difficult circumstances because we are debt-free and generate free cash flow. Assuming that business cycles have not been permanently banished from the earth, a simple return towards historical norms and the associated credit concerns should reward our investments. I believe that we are in those rarest of times where being a company with contra-cyclical products is viewed as a negative by some within the investment community.
“There is no line item on our balance sheet to reflect the value of our collecting and processing approximately $2 TRILLION of trade receivable data on an annualized basis on both public and private companies which allows us to extend our company coverage and maintain our commitment of having the most accurate risk scores available. Over 35% of the Fortune 1000 and over 1,000 other large companies worldwide depend on CreditRiskMonitor’s timely news alerts and reports featuring detailed analyses of financial statements, ratio analysis and trend reports, bond rating agencies, crowd sourcing in real-time of thousands of risk professionals as well as our proprietary FRISK® and PAYCE® scores.”
