Liberator Medical Reports Net Revenues of $15.0 Million for Third Fiscal Quarter of 2012

The Company Reports Net Income of $676,000 for Its Third Fiscal Quarter


STUART, Fla., Aug. 15, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:LBMH) announced net revenues of $15.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $1.7 million, or 12.3%, compared with sales of $13.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2012, increased by $6.2 million, or 16.3%, to $44.4 million, compared with sales of $38.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in sales was primarily due to the Company's continued emphasis on its direct response advertising campaign to obtain new customers and its customer service to maximize the reorder rates for its recurring customer base.

Income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012, increased by $0.8 million, or 203.9%, to $1.2 million, compared with income from operations of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Income from operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2012, increased by $1.0 million, or 46.2%, to $3.1 million, compared with income from operations of $2.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in operating income was due to increased gross profits driven by our increased sales volumes as well as a reduction as a percentage of sales in advertising, bad debt, and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in payroll expenses.
