Third Quarter Financial Highlights:

In constant currency, which excludes the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations, consolidated net sales decreased 2.5%, as compared to consolidated net sales in the corresponding period in 2016.

Adjusted net income was $5.5 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, as compared to adjusted net income of $7.5 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the corresponding period in 2016.

Consolidated EBITDA was $15.7 million, as compared to $16.7 million for the corresponding 2016 period.

Equity in losses, net of taxes, was $326,000, as compared to equity in losses, net of taxes, of $138,000 in the corresponding 2016 period.

Adjusted net income was $3.5 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, as compared to $3.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the 2016 period.

Consolidated EBITDA was $21.0 million, as compared to $21.7 million for the corresponding 2016 period.

Equity in earnings, net of taxes, was $0.7 million, as compared to equity in losses, net of taxes, of $0.3 million in the corresponding 2016 period.

Jeffrey Siegel, Lifetime’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented,

“The third quarter was a challenging period for Lifetime. Our quarterly results fell short of last year’s strong numbers and were also below our internal expectations, as retailers in the U.S. continued to close stores, reduce inventory levels, and adjust their strategies in an effort to offset the inroads that online shopping has made in their business. In addition, we intentionally limited sales to certain retailers due to credit concerns. Gross margin percentage in the quarter increased, partially offsetting the impact of lower net sales.

“Also, on the positive side, our e-commerce sales grew dramatically in the quarter. If our growth in online sales through pure play online retailers and online sites of our traditional customers continues at the same pace as in the third quarter, we expect such e-commerce sales fully to offset the decline in sales to traditional brick and mortar stores during 2018.

“In the U.K., the environment also has been difficult, with consumer confidence suffering from fall-out related to Brexit and the economic changes it may bring. These headwinds also impacted Lifetime Brands’ performance.

“Third quarter 2017 financial results included an unrealized foreign currency loss of $0.9 million, compared to a loss of $25,000 in the 2016 third quarter. These amounts represent mark-to-market adjustments on GBP/USD currency contracts related to purchases of inventory. The adjustments will reverse as the contracts are settled in the ordinary course of business and, therefore, are not expected to have a permanent economic impact. Excluding the non-cash mark-to market adjustments, consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017, was in line with the prior year.

“Despite the quarter’s difficult market conditions, there were many bright spots in our performance. As noted, we have made significant progress in building our e-commerce presence. U.S. Wholesale e-commerce sales for three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased 59% and 51%, respectively, versus the comparable periods in 2016. The double-digit sales increases we have achieved reflect the investments we made in infrastructure, staffing and data resources in order to compete effectively in this increasingly important arena.

“We have also been forging ahead with Lifetime Next™, our comprehensive program for achieving more consistent growth and profitability in today’s complex business environment. Recent actions in the U.S. include the implementation of new programs to enable us to reduce SKU’s and to operate with lower inventories; and the opening of our new West Coast distribution center, scheduled for later this month, which will be fully operational by the end of the first quarter of 2018.

“In Europe, we are continuing with the integration of KitchenCraft and Creative Tops, which includes combining sales forces, rationalizing other positions and implementing SAP at KitchenCraft, completed during the quarter, closing our office and warehouse in the Netherlands and the finalization of plans for a new UK distribution center, scheduled to open in 2019. These measures, which we expect will lower our expenses and increase profitability beginning in 2018, are costly and negatively impacted our performance during the quarter.

“In addition, we have taken steps to grow our market share across our major product lines. We have, for example, been bringing an exciting pipeline of new kitchenware products to market that will continue into 2018. Early reception from retailers has been strong, and we expect the new items to contribute to our results in this year’s important fourth quarter and beyond.

“Given the challenging retail environment in both North America and Europe, we now expect full-year 2017 consolidated net sales to be approximately flat to last year’s (excluding foreign currency impact) and gross margin to improve approximately 25 basis points. Based on the expected sales volume, distribution and SG&A expenses (excluding the non-cash unrealized foreign currency adjustments) as a percentage of sales is expected to be slightly higher than in 2016.”

Dividend

On Tuesday, November 7, 2017, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.0425 per share payable on February 15, 2018 to shareholders of record on February 1, 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including consolidated net sales in constant currency, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted income per common share, and consolidated adjusted EBITDA. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows of the Company; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. As required by SEC rules, the Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are provided because management of the Company uses these financial measures in evaluating the Company’s on-going financial results and trends, and management believes that exclusion of certain items allows for more accurate comparison of the Company’s operating performance. Management uses this non-GAAP information as an indicator of business performance. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP measures of performance.
