Bevo Agro Inc.'s sales for the year ending June 30, 2014, totalled $23,309,085, an increase of $2,721,881 or 17 per cent over the previous year. Sales for the same 12-month period in 2013 totalled $20,587,204. Sales to Canadian clients increased by 28 per cent. Approximately 90 per cent of Bevo's sales result from repeat orders through recurring multiyear contracts.
The acquisition of additional land and greenhouse facilities located in Pitt Meadows, B.C., was announced on June 11, 2014. The acquisition had no material impact on the financial results for the year ending June 30, 2014.
Gross profit for the 12 months was $5,918,741, compared with $5,083,066 for fiscal 2013. Gross margin percentages are consistent with previous years.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EDITDA) increased 17 per cent to $3,359,710 over EBITDA of $2,815,045 for the year ending June 30, 2013.
General operating and employee expenses increased by $105,731, with the increased sales, however, are constant with previous years as a percentage of sales.
Interest expense declined slightly with reduced borrowings. The company maintains a balance of fixed and floating rates on borrowings as a hedge against interest-rate fluctuations.
The company did not incur any losses for bad debts in the most recent year as it monitors customer receivables on a regular basis.
Net earnings for the year ending June 30, 2014, were $738,745 (3 per cent of sales) compared with $184,533 (1 per cent of sales) last year.
