DELTA, British Columbia, Aug. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WestBond Enterprises Corporation (TSX-V: WBE) has posted a loss of $69,374 (-$0.002 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a profit of $415,352 ($0.012 per share) for the same period last year. Sales were $2,366,838 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, which is 28.7% lower than for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 5.7% lower than for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The decrease in sales and profitability are due to the decrease in sales of airlaid parent rolls since the beginning of this quarter. This is because one of our customers had a change in ownership and decided to purchase airlaid parent rolls from their new owner's supplier. The larger inventory of airlaid parent rolls now allows us to produce finished napkins and wipes, which yield higher profit margins than parent roll sales. With the expected sales of higher margin products and full production staff levels, sales are expected to increase with a corresponding return to profitability.

The quarterly report and other information are available on the company's website at and on SEDAR at .
