Biorem, Inc. (OTC:BIRMF)

BioRem Inc. (BIRMF) (TSXV:BRM) ($1.86; 29.98M market cap) announced Q4 2024 and full year 2024 results: (results released during the trading day yesterday)

• Q4 sales of $9.3 million vs $12.2 million in the prior year
• Q4 EPS of $0.01 vs EPS of $0.14 in the prior year
• Full year sales of $37.4 million vs $25.2 million in the prior year
• Full year EPS of $0.16 vs $0.13 in the prior year

"Overall, we are very pleased with the progress made in 2024," said Derek S. Webb, President and CEO. "Business development with a focus on new products and services has produced tangible results and we continue to be excited at continuing this expansion in 2025 with new geographical territories and technological offerings."

"Investments made in late 2023 for our manufacturing processes enabled a significant increase in production capacity and reduced input costs while improving quality", continued Mr. Webb. "These capital improvements have aided greatly in maintaining and improving on project delivery schedules."

"While geopolitical and tariff pressures are expected to provide challenges in 2025, we believe the corporation is well positioned to weather the dynamic situation. A diverse and flexible supply chain, American based manufacturing and a strong balance sheet ensures we have the tools required to resolve these challenges."

Although the 2024 fourth-quarter was weak, we have to remember two things. First, the company has been very clear that investors who want to invest in this company will have to stomach large volatility around quarterly results. Secondly, the company was going up against one of its best quarters in its history in the fourth quarter of 2023. The more concerning aspect of the fourth quarter is that we need more details on the weak gross margins, “the result of lower revenues in the quarter and the accrual of costs for a project that may require some rework “

BioRem Inc., a clean technology engineering company, designs, manufactures, distributes, and sells air pollution control systems that are used to eliminate odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).

Biorem Inc (OTC:BIRMF) (TSXV:BRM) ($1.78; $28.4M market cap) announced it has received several new orders totalling more than $8 million.

"Amid all of the trade uncertainties of recent weeks, the new year has started with robust sales and bidding activity" said Derek S. Webb, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our backlog continues to grow; driven largely by the new products and services we have introduced over the past few years. Delivery and performance have exceeded customer expectations, and we are beginning to see increased demand as a result."

"A good mix of infrastructure and industrial applications make up the bulk of the new orders," added Webb, "As cities continue to grow, this is driving demand for our technologies. While we expect that there will be some short-term volatility, we see a strong, long-term market for our world class solutions."

Webb, President and CEO. "Even as project deliveries accelerated, BIOREM's sales funnel, outstanding bids and order backlog remain robust with no signs of softening over the near- to medium-term."
