Lasco Distributors hit a record of $20 billion sales in 12 months for 2021
The company’s profits are also back up, to over $900 million. Profits fell over the last 2 years below $600m in 2019. Good to see the results coming back up consistently
What’s amazing is the money they are making from the Pharmaceutical division
Look at this, Pharmaceutical sales are less than 20% of total sales. Right, less than 20% of $20 billion (that’s $3.7 billion) but contributes almost one-third of profits
There is about an 8% margin on pharmaceuticals vs a 3.6% margin on their consumer sales
One thing that needs to be addressed though is their receivables, the money outstanding to be collected. It’s a massive $2.5 billion. And on top of that they owe a good amount to Lasco Manufacturing as well
