CHESTER, N.Y., May 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Repro Med Systems, Inc. dba RMS Medical Products (OTCQX: REPR) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended February 29, 2016.
For the fiscal year 2016, net revenues increased $1.0 million or 9% compared to the year prior, led by the strong sales of the Company's proprietary infusion products. The Company reported fiscal year net revenue of $12,247,000, compared with $11,245,000 for fiscal year 2015. The Company reported net revenue for the fourth quarter 2016 at $3,305,700, a decrease of 4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2015 at $3,447,600, due to the incentives given to a major customer during contract renewal in the quarter.

Gross margin improved in fiscal 2016 to 62.1% from 59.5% in fiscal 2015.
