Probe Manufacturing Reports 2012 Year End Financial Results; Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth Continues

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Probe Manufacturing, Inc. ("PMI"), (OTC QB : PMFI), a global electronics design & manufacturing services company reports revenue growth of over $400,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 from fiscal year 2011.

Fiscal year 2012 and First Quarter 2013 Highlights:

  • Revenue of $4.96 million which equates to revenue growth of 9% year-over-year;

  • Operating income $71,500; and EBITDA of $114,726;

  • Gross profit margin remained steady at 28%;

  • Addition of six new customers and further diversification of our customer base;

  • Investment in new manufacturing equipment to expand and streamline our manufacturing capabilities;

  • Launch of manufacturing certification program to increase certifications in the aerospace and medical industries.

  • In 2013 we completed the recapitalization of our capital structure through a ten-for-one reverse stock split; and

  • Expansion of our national footprint in lower cost regions of the U.S. and enhance PMI's capacity to deliver seamless end-to-end solutions for diversified markets from manufacturing to distribution through the acquisition of Trident Manufacturing, Inc., located in Salt Lake City, Utah.


Our Chief Financial Officer, John Bennett, stated "PMI's organic growth and expansion of its customer base in 2012 continues to fuel the Company's financial growth. While the Company experienced a net loss of $(116,373) it was due to interest expenses associated with our line of credit of approximately $190,000, which was an increase of $51,000 over the previous year and increased inventory reserves and allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $75,000. Therefore, we remain optimistic and encouraged by PMI's financial performance."

"Despite a general slowdown experienced by the EMS industry as a whole, PMI was still able to provide a scalable and profitable U.S. based manufacturing solution which continued to drive the growth of our customer base as demonstrated by our year-over-year revenue growth. Furthermore, our recent acquisition of Trident Manufacturing and future acquisitions like this will provide PMI with an expanded presence in lower cost regions of the US which will help strengthen PMI's supply chain performance while increasing service levels and profitability," said Kam Mahdi, CEO of PMI.
