Cyanotech says spirulina sales help boost profit

Advertiser Staff

Cyanotech Corp., the maker of nutritional and health products from microalgae, reported slightly higher revenue and profit for its fiscal fourth quarter that ended March 31.

The Kailua Kona-based company said revenue increased by $8,000 to $3.42 million as it worked to position its Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica as a nutritional leader and strengthen its Astaxanthin potency.
Net income rose to $194,000 or 4 cents a share as the company looked to contain costs and increase productivity through new cultivation strategies. A year earlier Cyanotech reported a profit of $181,000 or 3 cents a share.
Shares of Cyanotech fell 21 cents to $1.95 in trading on the Nasdaq Market today.
