Executive Quotes

"Much of XYMOGEN's 21 percent growth may be attributed to the extraordinary growth of our fructose-free Functional Foods. The newly introduced OptiMetaboliX, formerly known as OptiGlycemiX, was the most successful product launch in XYMOGEN history.  This new formulation with InSea2, bentfotiamine, CinSulin, and a host of other nutrients helps to support healthy insulin, glucose metabolism, body composition, and healthy lipid levels, while reducing glycation and oxidative stress. With i5 and OptiCleanse GHI, our other two functional foods, sales are at all-time record levels."  Mike Mahoney, XYMOGEN Vice President of Medical Education

"The Obama Administration has created the NEI (National Exports Initiative) with the goal of doubling U.S. exports by 2014.   XYMOGEN has embraced the opportunities of going global with initiatives in multiple countries.  As most every other country has a registration process for dietary supplements, the time to market does take time, but is well worth the patience. Early in 2011 XYMOGEN embarked on international initiatives and now has contracts throughout Southeast Asia, South America, Asia, The Middle East and Canada.  XYMOGEN is currently engaged in the registration of products with multiple distributors in multiple countries. Canada is a prime focus as XYMOGEN has invested in its own operation and sales force."  Scott Bukow, XYMOGEN Vice President of International Development

"While we are pleased we surpassed Q1-2012 financial projections, the more exciting developments in the first quarter revolve around strategic alliances with two of the most renowned pioneers in our industry, Dr. John Brimhall and Al Czap.  Opportunities to partner with leaders of this caliber come along maybe one in a lifetime.  We did not hesitate to seize the opportunities to develop Brimhall-Formulated products and support Al Czap's long-term commitment to maintain a voice for Integrated Medicine in the peer-reviewed pubmed-indexed research community."  Brian Blackburn, XYMOGEN C.E.O. 

Financial Outlook

For the second quarter of fiscal 2012, XYMOGEN is targeting revenue/earnings of $11.2 million/$150K compared to $9.81 million/$462K for Q2-2011. This represents revenue growth of 15%.  XYMOGEN continues to invest heavily in International Development and Regulatory GMP's for our move into manufacturing in May. We see earnings growth beginning in Q3-2012 and beyond as we begin manufacturing our own formulas and International Revenues grow.

Based upon $5.3 million depreciation realized in 2011, coupled with depreciation projections of $2 million in 2012, XYMOGEN projects no federal income tax liability until Q3-2013. Tax-exempt earnings will be applied toward creating jobs in its new manufacturing headquarters as well as funding other growth initiatives. 

For fiscal year 2012, XYMOGEN is projecting annual revenue growth of 15 percent, or $46 million. XYMOGEN is targeting its share value to increase 15 percent from the present value of $56.51 to $65.00 as of Dec. 31, 2012. These targets do not include the impact of XYMOGEN's contract-manufacturing and digital label printing businesses, which are projected to generate revenues beginning Q4-2012.
