Pharma-Bio Serv, Inc. reported earnings results for the year ended October 31, 2015. For the year, the company reported total net revenues of $23.4 million for the year ended October 31, 2015, a decrease of approximately $4.2 million, or 15.1%, when compared to last year. The revenue decrease is mainly attributable to a decline from projects in the United States and Europe consulting markets.
Net income was approximately $1.6 million, a decrease of $0.8 million when compared to last year. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decline in revenue, partially offset by a reduction of business development and operational support expenses, and the impact of the effective income tax rates (including Puerto Rico favorable tax grant) over income before tax.
