XPEL Technologies Corp. announced results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

“XPEL has now achieved its third consecutive quarter of positive net income from operations. Our goal for 2009 has been to significantly strengthen our balance sheet with a particular focus on reducing our liabilities,” says XPEL’s chief executive officer Ryan Pape. “With stability in our operations, our focus is on growing the business by expanding our product offering, attracting new installers and taking market share as the automotive industry recovers.”

The company reported that revenues decreased from $1,164,779 to $994,250 or 15 percent between quarters and from $3,488,175 to $2,922,026, or 16 percent between the nine-month periods. The decreases were primarily due to the downturn in the global economy and sluggish auto sales.
