PURE Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: PURE) (“PURE,” the “Company” or “we”), creator of the patented non-toxic silver dihydrogen citrate (SDC) antimicrobial, today reported financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended October 31, 2024.

Summary of Results – Fiscal First Quarter Operations

Net product sales were $555,000 and $718,000 for the fiscal first quarters ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease of $163,000 was attributable to budgetary constraints of a large end-use customer.
Net loss for the fiscal first quarter ended October 31, 2024, was $689,000, compared to $735,000 for the fiscal first quarter ended October 31, 2023.
Net loss, excluding share-based compensation, for the fiscal first quarter ended October 31, 2024, was $632,000, compared to $655,000 for the fiscal first quarter ended October 31, 2023.
Net loss per share was ($0.01) for the fiscal first quarter ended October 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Robert Bartlett, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “To expand on my recent comment from October 29th, we are continuing to diligently grow our business strategy with key distributors. Although this process is taking longer than expected, it allows us to broaden our product offerings across a larger customer base in the food and beverage industry. Significant resources are being dedicated to onboarding new distributors, providing the necessary training, and ensuring the proper marketing of our products, which will continue into 2025. This year’s first-quarter revenue was anticipated to be lower than the previous year due to an unexpected interruption in the flow of products to one of our major customers in 2024 and the lack of replacement revenue thus far,” concluded Bartlett.
