EXHIBIT 99.1
Psychemedics Corporation Reports 2023 Financial Results
DALLAS, March 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Psychemedics Corporation (NASDAQ: PMD), the world’s leading provider of hair testing for drugs of abuse, announced today financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023.
“2023 proved to be another challenging year due to the negative impact of major economic forces. The labor shortage continues and remains unprecedented in its severity and duration, having an adverse impact on our clients. Despite these challenges, my confidence in our potential continues to increase. As cost reductions from Q4 continue to materialize, we will start our pursuit of new markets and new applications for our hair testing science to create value for clients and shareholders,” stated Brian Hullinger, Chief Executive Officer of Psychemedics.
“Leveraging our expertise and reputation for accuracy combined with a renewed focus on client acquisition, we expect that our innovative approach will not only drive sustainable growth but also solidify our position as the leader in the industry,” added Shannon Shoemaker, Chief Revenue Officer.
