Ottawa cleantech firm BluMetric’s revenues jumped nearly 30 per cent year-over-year in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the company said this week.
BluMetric reported revenues of $8.2 million for the three-month period ending Dec. 31, the first quarter of its 2021 fiscal year, up from $6.3 million the year before. It posted net earnings of $700,000, down from $844,000 in the same period in 2020.
CEO Scott MacFabe said the firm continued to gain momentum after a strong finish to fiscal 2020 that saw its fourth-quarter revenues surge nearly $4 million year-over-year.

“Other markets are beginning to see an increase in activity as previously stalled projects slowly begin to move forward again,” the company added.
