Company Sees Significant Demand for its HIPAA Health Certified Call Center and Safety Supply Business
CLEVELAND, OH / ACCESSWIRE / March 23, 2020 / Innovest Global Inc. (OTC: IVST), a diversified industrials company with a pending spinout of its biotechnology holdings, today provided an update on business operations in light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2017, just three years ago, Innovest was founded with the mindset to turn-around a distressed public company into a scalable industrials company. Innovest's goal was to enhance shareholder value by acquiring companies on favorable terms and achieving organic growth. In that short period of time, the Company has proven its model of acquiring, integrating and growing revenue from commercial and industrial customers resulting in increased shareholder value.
As Innovest began the new decade, the Company's focus shifted to increasing profitability on its previously acquired businesses to continue enhancing shareholder value. Operationally, Innovest began focusing on growing its smaller but more profitable offerings, pursuing acquisitions which have attractive gross profit margins, and achieving corporate milestones intended to put the Company in a position to be on a major national exchange in late 2020.
While the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has substantially changed the current market and economic conditions, Innovest remains focused on moving forward with the plans outlined above, while regularly evaluating the continually changing landscape. Considering the challenges presented by this unprecedented moment in history, the Company is encountering highly encouraging growth in several segments and continues to make substantial progress on certain business fronts that are highlighted below:
Given recent events and market volatility, OTC Markets has provided a 45 day extension for annual and quarterly financial reports which the Company will utilize for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. At this point in time, management expects to record a significant one-time loss related to a historical contract inherited from a prior acquisition for the full year 2019 and a decline in sales in the fourth quarter of 2019 in the Wholesale Purchasing segment. The Company is utilizing this additional reporting timeframe to further scrutinize under-performing businesses, optimize operations and improve profitability as a part of the current strategy of focusing on profitability and long-term shareholder value creation.
In response to the changing business environment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dan Martin, Chief Executive Officer of Innovest Global stated, 'COVID-19 has clearly changed our operating environment, but not our identity, plans, energy or intention to move forward on our clear path. We are in an unprecedented situation, a thriving economy being slowed in the fight against a global pandemic. The nature of our diversified business helps to mitigate risk and allows for pursuit of improvement for the benefit of our shareholders, even in this unique situation.'
