President and CEO <span class=\"xn-person\">Peter Dornau<\/span> commented, &#8220;I am extremely pleased with the financial results from both the third quarter and the nine months of 2020. Our third quarter net income of approximately <span class=\"xn-money\">$4.7 million<\/span> surpassed our full year 2019 net income of approximately <span class=\"xn-money\">$3.5 million<\/span>. The 2019 net income was also a record breaker. \u00a0The 2020 third quarter results also represent the highest quarterly income in company history, which is driven by record net sales of <span class=\"xn-money\">$19.2 million<\/span> for the quarter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Dornau continued, &#8220;The significant increase in sales volume had a positive effect on both gross profit percent and gross profit dollars as our fixed manufacturing costs remained relatively constant. Third quarter gross profit percent increased from 35.2% in 2019 to 45.7% in 2020, with gross profit dollars increasing approximately 99% over 2019 results. <\/p>\n<p>The key to our long-term success is our plant and our people. As a vertical manufacturer, we rely less on outside vendors and can therefore pivot our production as the markets change. We have invested heavily in equipment and upgrades and expansions at our production and distribution facility to prepare for such growth. But it&#8217;s our dedicated employees that are making the smart moves and putting in the hard work to best use our resources.<\/p>\n<p>As new, record net sales quarters are reported, we are highly satisfied to see that this durable building strategy is twofold: not only have we built a flexible manufacturing and distribution platform capable of supporting these record sales numbers, but also the organization to see it through. This flexibility equals a profitability that, in turn, pays for itself. <\/p>\n<p>This reliable growth strategy helped fuel our continued success in this turbulent year of 2020. While many industries and competitors struggled to meet increased demands on volume and logistical challenges brought on by COVID-19, shelter-in-place orders, hurricanes, wildfires, etc., we were able to increase production and ship record amounts of products. These sales increases were broad based, as we saw increases in almost every channel of business we serve. <\/p>\n<p>Our core markets of Marine, RV and Outdoor saw an excited increase of new consumers entering the market looking for ways to safely social distance. New and used boat and RV sales have outpaced several years previous, and our brands were there to capture many of these new consumers as we had product on the shelves, whereas our competition did not. <\/p>\n<p>We also saw sizeable increases in the hardware\/homecare markets as many consumers during lockdown dedicated time to home maintenance projects, such as teak furniture restoration, deck cleaning, mold and mildew removal, and outdoor fabric care.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <span class=\"xn-person\">Star Tron<\/span><br \/>\n        <sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, our enzyme-based fuel treatment, received strong sales from both ends of the spectrum: an increase in stored vehicles, as well as more Americans embarking on road trips instead of flying.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, our PERFORMACIDE<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> division of air care, deodorizing, sanitizing and disinfectant products also realized strong gains in the market. We were hit with more PERFORMACIDE<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> orders than we could produce at the beginning of the pandemic, which lead to a two-part plan. First, we decided which sales opportunities would provide the best long-term success for the brand\u2014picking select partners who fit with the benefits of our unique product line and are poised to take advantage of its many uses beyond the pandemic. And second, we increased production lines to keep up with the demand for these partners.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>In closing Mr. Dornau states, &#8220;Your company was built to react fast to changing markets and take advantage of new opportunities while also providing best-in-class products, logistics and customer service to our existing customers. This, combined with strong financials and a great team, prepares us for continued success in 2021 regardless of challenges to come.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n        <span class=\"xn-person\">Jeffrey Barocas<\/span>, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, commented, &#8220;The financial position of the Company is strong. On <span class=\"xn-chron\">September 30, 2020<\/span>, the Company had approximately <span class=\"xn-money\">$7.3 million<\/span> in cash (including <span class=\"xn-money\">$6.6 million<\/span> in unrestricted cash and <span class=\"xn-money\">$.7 million<\/span> restricted to use in connection with the expansion of our <span class=\"xn-location\">Montgomery, Alabama<\/span> facilities), and net accounts receivable of approximately <span class=\"xn-money\">$16.3 million<\/span>. As of <span class=\"xn-chron\">September 30, 2020<\/span>, the Company had a current ratio of approximately 5.5 to 1. <\/p>\n<p>The Board of Directors will be evaluating an increase in the Company&#8217;s regular quarterly dividend or the declaration of a special cash dividend to our valued shareholders.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>About Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc.:<br \/>Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. manufactures, markets and distributes a broad line of appearance and maintenance products for the marine, automotive, power sports, recreational vehicle and outdoor power equipment markets under the Star brite<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, <span class=\"xn-person\">Star Tron<\/span><sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, Performacide<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>, Outdoor Collection and other brand names within <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States of America<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Canada<\/span>.
