USLG Posts Net Profit Despite Industry Downturn!
USLG, Inc. (OTC:USLG) (“USLG” or the “Company”), an innovative composite technology manufacturer, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company posted record revenue, beating all of 2022, reflecting the highest-ever shipments of Cortes Campers molded fiberglass RV travel trailers. The Company’s performance underscores the fact that USLG has executed its strategic growth plan to rapidly expand operations and retains a positive outlook for 2023, including the introduction of new products into its portfolio.
Recent Highlights
“I’m very pleased to announce that USLG had an incredible quarter – with strong top line growth, record shipments, and profitable underlying results,” said Anthony Corpora, Chief Executive Officer. “Our innovative engineers and savvy marketing staff – combined with a production team focused on operating execution – achieved results that defied even our expectations. We’re becoming more efficient and agile at meeting robust demand for our Cortes Campers, while the launch of our Futuro House will accelerate our already-strong growth trajectory.
“The Company remains on track for its best year ever, and we are investing in additional products and concepts while keeping an eye on cost as we work towards positive cash flow and generating higher returns for our shareholders. I’d like to thank our investors, employees, and customers for their passion in our company and its future; the best is yet to come.”
First Quarter 2023 Results
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $1.2 million compared with $76,000 in the prior-year period, reflecting increased orders and overall higher demand for the Company’s products.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2023 versus $0.3 million in 2022 – primarily due to investments in marketing, sales, and staffing – and the Company posted net income of approximately $25,000 during the quarter versus a loss of $0.4 million in the prior-year period.
