Mark Libratore, Liberator CEO, said the company has demonstrated its ability to withstand broader economic concerns and is backed by a solid balance sheet.
“We have experienced tremendous growth over the past three fiscal years despite the downturn in the U.S. economy. We have a strong balance sheet with over $7 million in cash and minimal debt. Approximately 50 percent of each of our facilities is available for future growth, which positions the company very well to grow our sales and improve profitability over the long term. The outlook for demand for our products and services is favorable, as our products are not variable or seasonal and there should be an increase in newly-diagnosed patients requiring the medical supplies that we provide,” Libratore stated in the press release.
