While it is true that there has been no news about the company, it might be a good idea for investors to take a look at some of the developments from the recent past. The company, which is involved in decontamination and disinfection through its Binary Ionization Technology platform, announced its financial results for the first fiscal quarter back in May.
The net revenues generated by TOMI in the quarter stood at $2.1 million, which was considerably lower than the revenues of $7.1 million that were generated in the prior year period.
On the other hand, the gross margins in the quarter came in at 59.6%, which was again lower than the gross margins of 63.6% in the prior year period. The Chief Executive Officer of the company Dr. Halden Shane stated that the steep drop in this quarter is a reflection of the massive rise in business last year due to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.
