SALT
LAKE CITY, UTAH, Dec. 3, 2003 — RecycleNet Corporation
(OTC-BB: GARM) today announced improved operating results
for the third quarter ended September 30, 2003.
RecycleNet
(www.recycle.net), which operates the leading online trading
platform for recyclable industrial materials, reported net
earnings of $27,800 on net revenues of $496,600 for the
third quarter, compared with a net loss of $3,800 on net
revenues of $495,600 for the same period of last year.
For
the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company reported
net earnings of $23,600 on net revenues of $1,506,000 compared
with net earnings of $9,000 on total net revenues of $1,231,000
for the same period of 2002.
RecycleNet
said revenues from the company’s Internet portal product
increased 61% this quarter over last year’s comparable
period, the second quarter in a row of robust growth. Traffic
at the portal also hit an all time high as more than 1.5
million unique users per month visited the online recycling
exchange. The growth in the portal had a positive impact
on gross profit, which grew by 28% over the same period
of last year.
“The
last several quarters have shown a steady growth of our
portal product, an online trading system that serves the
$300 billion recyclables market,” said Richard R.
Ivanovick, CFO of RecycleNet. "Moving forward we will
seek additional capital to fuel the growth of our portal
business, as well as opportunities to tell our story to
a wider audience within our markets and the investment community.”
As
disclosed in the Company’s most recent 10-Q filing,
RecycleNet hired consultants to help with the Company’s
corporate branding, marketing and investor relations efforts.
As the consultants were paid in stock, the Company anticipates
a $120,000 non-cash expense for its operating results in
the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2003.
