ABMC Reports First Quarter 2015 Results

KINDERHOOK, N.Y. - May 15, 2024 - American Bio Medica Corporation (ABMC) today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Chief Executive Officer Melissa A. Waterhouse stated, "The decline in sales in the first quarter 2015 was primarily due to the loss of two state contracts in 2014 (both of which are now using a product manufactured outside of the United States). In addition, contract-manufacturing sales declined as a result of an inventory surplus at one of our contract-manufacturing customers. The surplus has been used and we expect contract-manufacturing levels to return to a level more in line with historical sales."

Waterhouse continued, "A couple months ago, I indicated that 2015 was expected to be a year of investment in selling and marketing and our recent sales levels demonstrate the need for such an investment. In the first quarter of 2015, we hired additional sales representatives to target our core markets in the United States, increased our market presence at industry trade shows, and began new marketing initiatives. Our application for OTC marketing clearance of our urine-based all-inclusive drug test is still under FDA review but we are hopeful that we will have FDA’s decision on the application in the very near future. New assay development continues and is going well."
