Utah Medical Products reported a decrease in revenue for the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 on medical procedures. However, U.S. domestic sales showed a substantial recovery from the previous quarter. The company's balance sheet remained strong with an absence of debt, and management focused on managing operating expenses while preserving resources for long-term growth.
Worldwide revenues decreased by 16.1% compared to Q3 2019.
Gross profit margin improved to 62.0% compared to 59.1% in Q3 2019.
Operating income decreased by 17.9% compared to Q3 2019.
Diluted EPS was $0.803 compared to $0.991 in Q3 2019.
Unless governments again restrict medical care, we see the recovery trend continuing to be positive, so that 4Q 2020 is likely to be UTMD’s best revenue quarter of the year.
