First Quarter 2021 results
BIMI released the first quarter of 2021 results on 24th May 2021. Revenues were $2.17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. However, the revenue climbed by $1.75 million owing mostly to $1.10 million in wholesale pharmaceutical sales and $0.70 million in medical services. Moreover, revenue from the wholesale medical devices division was $0.06 million and $0.25 million, respectively. The drop is mostly due to low demand for medical products in the first quarter.
Not only this but the cost of revenues was $1.58 million and $0.33 million, respectively. Furthermore, BIMI reported an obsolescence loss of $0.03 million on inventories. The drop in inventory availability is due to the expiration of merchandise kept for sale by Dalian’s Boqi pharmacies owing to the COVID-19 pandemic’s lockdown policy.
