- $1.9M in Revenue For 3 Months Ended Mar. 31, 2015
- Q1 numbers were down slightly and is easily attributed to the West Coast port strike that made it difficult to get timely delivery of our Organic Coconut Palm Sugar
TORONTO, ONTARIO–(May 28, 2015) –Â Xylitol Canada Inc. (“Xylitol Canada“, or the “Company“) (TSX VENTURE:XYL) today announces that it has released its financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Highlights of the results include:
Commented Andrew Reid CEO of Xylitol Canada: “While our year over year Q1 numbers were down slightly, it is easily attributed to the West Coast port strike that made it difficult for us to get timely delivery of our Organic Coconut Palm Sugar. We were forced to push some deliveries and commitments into Q2, however we don’t expect this strike, which has now been resolved, to have any material impact on our 2015 numbers. On a positive note, the Company deployed its new pricing structure on March 31 to customers throughout North America. This pricing adjustment came as a response to raw material price adjustments, and more so to compensate for the strong US dollar that negatively affected the part of our USA based product business that billed Canadian customers in Canadian dollars.”
