RBC Life Sciences Reports Second Quarter Results

IRVING, Texas, Aug. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- RBC Life Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB: RBCL), a provider of proprietary nutritional supplements, and wound care and pain management products, today reported consolidated net sales of $6.7 million for the second quarter of 2013, a 2% increase over the second quarter of 2012. For the second quarter of 2013, the Company reported a net loss of $147,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to net earnings of $320,000, or $0.01 per share, for the same quarter last year.  Net sales were $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a 2% decrease over the same period in 2012.  For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company reported a net loss of $155,000, or $0.01 per share, compared to net earnings of $247,000, or $0.01 per share for the comparable period in 2012.

"Net sales of Nutritional Products have been very positive, growing 8% for the second quarter of 2013 compared to 2012.  We continue to seek new markets for our products, having entered Australia in the first quarter of 2013 and undertaken efforts to enter Hong Kong in the third quarter," said RBC Life Sciences CEO, Clinton H. Howard.  "We continue to be pleased with the performance of our largest selling product, Stem-Kine™, which has been shown in human studies to enable an increase in the production of stem cells."

Mr. Howard continued, "The increases in our sales of Nutritional Supplements have partially offset decreases in our sales of Medical Products by our MPM Medical subsidiary, which continues to be impacted as a result of the Chapter 11 filing by MPM's largest customer while it seeks to settle a reimbursement dispute with Medicare.  The decrease in our earnings performance compared to the prior year is due in part to a non-recurring casualty gain related to the replacement of the roof of our facility in Irving, Texas in the second quarter of 2012."
