Retractable Technologies, Inc. reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. The company experienced an increase in total net sales to $8.3 million, up from $7.6 million in the same period last year. Despite the increase in sales, the company reported an operating loss of $4.7 million, compared to an operating loss of nearly $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2024. The rise in operating losses was attributed to increased tariffs and additional costs related to ramped-up domestic production activities. Domestic sales represented 89.6% of total revenues for the quarter, slightly higher than the 87.4% recorded in the first quarter of 2024. Retractable Technologies reduced its reliance on Chinese manufacturers, dropping from 90.4% in the first quarter of 2024 to 62.7% in the first quarter of 2025, as part of its strategy to increase domestic manufacturing. The company has hired additional manufacturing personnel and adjusted its equipment to support this shift. The company's sales in North and South America, excluding the U.S., rose to $0.6 million from $0.2 million in the previous year. However, other international sales decreased to $0.3 million from $0.8 million. The company also noted that unrealized losses on investments significantly impacted the net income computation for the quarter.
