Notes: certain items not related to “operations” of the Company’s net income are listed below.
a) Non-GAAP – Flexible Solutions International purchased 65% of ENP in 4th quarter, 2018 (October 2018). Therefore Operating Cash Flow is adjusted by the pre tax Net income or loss of the non-controlling interest in ENP for 2023 only. The 2024 entry in the “Statement of operations and comprehensive income” is a pretax number therefore no adjustment is required.
b) Non-GAAP – amounts exclude certain cash and non-cash items: Depreciation and Stock compensation expense (2024 = $1,318,784, 2023 = $1,118,100), Interest expense (2024 = $332,397, 2023 = $250,368), Interest income (2024 = $109,637, 2023 = $53,185), Gain on investment (2024 = $298,438, 2023 = $326,703), Loss on lease termination (2024 = $41,350, 2023 = N/A), Income tax (2024 = ($822,429), 2023 = ($654,149)), and pretax Net income attributable to non-controlling interests (2024 = $201,620, 2023 = $381,276). Although included in operating expenses these onetime expenditures were not related to operations of FSI. *See the financial statements for all adjustments.
c) The revenue and gain from the 50% investment in the private Florida LLC announced in January 2019 are not treated as revenue or profit from operations by Flexible Solutions given the Company only purchased 50% of the LLC. The profit is treated as investment income and therefore occurs below Operating income in the Statement of Operations. As a result, the Gains on all investments, including those from the Florida LLC, are removed from the calculation to arrive at Operating Cash Flow. Again, see the financials.
d) Non-GAAP – amounts represent depreciation and stock compensation expense.
