good natured Products Announces Preliminary Results For 1Q

On April 13, good natured Products (GDNP) announced preliminary results for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Reported revenue for 1Q 2021 is expected to be approximately C$8 million. This represents an increase of about 160% from the revenue of C$3.05 million reported for the prior-year quarter. Meanwhile, gross margins are expected to be between 36% and 38%, compared to 36.3% for the first quarter of 2020.

good natured Products’ CEO Paul Antoniadis said, “Our strong revenue growth performance was driven by our strategic acquisitions completed in 2020, Shepherd Thermoforming and IPF, while gross margin benefitted from product and customer revenue mix for the quarter.”

“Despite disruptions in key markets from COVID-19 variants and extreme weather-related events in the southern US, our team and partners executed extremely well. We remain very optimistic on our organic growth prospects and acquisition opportunities,” added Antoniadis.

The earth-friendly product company expects to release full 1Q 2021 results in May 2021. (See good natured Products stock analysis on TipRanks)
