COLUMBUS, OHIO, March 30, 2018 -- HighCom Global Security, Inc. (OTC: HCGS), today reported its financial results for the quarter ended and year ended December 31, 2017.
Revenues for the fourth quarter were $2.2M compared to $3.1M reported in the fourth quarter of 2016. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, gross profit was $558K as compared to a gross profit of $1.2M for the comparable period of the prior year.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, we recognized revenues of $6.2M as compared to $7.9M for the comparable prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2017, gross profit was $2.1M as compared to $2.8M for the comparable prior year due to decreased sales. The Company also reported a net loss of $2.1M, mainly due to a tax law change which required the Company to report a $1.6M income tax provision. Prior year net income was $6.0M, which included a tax benefit of $5.1M.
“Although sales are lower than expected, mainly due to less sales closing in the current fiscal year than expected, 2017 was a good year for us. With our focus on the cash conversion cycle, a now debt free balance sheet and our growth strategy, we have really positioned ourselves to grow the business in 2018,” states HighCom Global CEO Francis Michaud.
