VALLEY COTTAGE, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 13, 2021 / CreditRiskMonitor (OTCQX:CRMZ) reported operating revenues of $4.34 million, an increase of approximately $205 thousand or 5%, for the three month ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The Company reported pre-tax income of approximately $196 thousand, a decrease of approximately $47 thousand compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease in pre-tax income was primarily driven by increased expenses related to employee salaries, employee benefits, commissions, and third-party content due to inflation.

Mike Flum, President & COO, said, 'The robust economic conditions from 2021 are starting to crack under the pressure of inflation and supply shocks resulting in renewed interest in counterparty financial risk. We expect these difficult conditions and rising interest rates could result in a wave of bankruptcies this year for zombie companies with high levels of short-term debt. This sort of negative business environment has benefited our business in the past, but operating in high inflation environments is always a challenge. We remain committed to our strategies of reinvesting in the service with new product development, data acquisition, and employee retention as well as our core operating principle of delivering value in excess of prices to support the financial risk analysis needs of our clients and prospects. Our focus remains on the imminent launch of our new supply chain risk platform, SupplyChainMonitor™, and expanding our private company coverage. We are targeting an expansion of our U.S. private company coverage under the PAYCE® score for later this year.'
