Lifetime Brands, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

GARDEN CITY, N.Y., May 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lifetime Brands, Inc. (NasdaqGS: LCUT), a leading global designer, developer and marketer of a broad range of branded consumer products used in the home, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Rob Kay, Lifetime’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our results this quarter were in line with our expectations, with our core business continuing to deliver solid performance in the face of a challenging macroeconomic and consumer spending environment. Our first quarter results reflect the continued impact of reduced orders as our customers focused on rightsizing their inventory levels, with the majority of these impacts coming from our largest customers. While inflationary and macroeconomic pressures contributed to weaker end market demand, our international business has stabilized as a result of the restructuring of our European operations and the continued traction of our KitchenAid brand in European markets.”

Mr. Kay continued, “While we expect industry headwinds to remain, we believe the Company will deliver solid performance for the full year 2023. Our outlook for the year reflects our expectations for increasing economic stress on the consumer and uncertainty in the economy. Nevertheless, we will continue to advance our long-term strategic growth initiatives and take actions to prudently manage the business until the demand environment improves. I am grateful to our team for their hard work and commitment to operational excellence. Our position in the markets we serve remains strong, and we ended the first quarter with a historically high level of liquidity, positioning the Company well to weather the current environment and drive long-term shareholder value.”

First Quarter Financial Highlights:

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $145.4 million, representing a decrease of $37.3 million, or 20.4%, as compared to net sales of $182.7 million for the corresponding period in 2022. In constant currency, a non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations and was determined by applying 2023 average rates to 2022 local currency amounts, consolidated net sales decreased by $35.4 million, or 19.6%, as compared to consolidated net sales in the corresponding period in 2022. A table reconciling this non-GAAP financial measure to consolidated net sales, as reported, is included below.

Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $53.8 million, or 37.0%, as compared to $63.1 million, or 34.5%, for the corresponding period in 2022.

Loss from operations was $(1.8) million, as compared to income from operations of $4.4 million for the corresponding period in 2022.

Adjusted income from operations⁽¹⁾ was $3.4 million, as compared to $10.2 million for the corresponding period in 2022.

Net loss was $(8.8) million, or $(0.41) per diluted share, as compared to net income of $0.4 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the corresponding period in 2022.

Adjusted net loss⁽¹⁾ was $(2.6) million, or $(0.12) per diluted share, as compared to adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ of $4.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the corresponding period in 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was $50.8 million for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2023. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was $53.5 million for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2023. After giving effect to the non-recurring charge limitation permitted under our debt agreements, pro forma adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was $49.5 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2023.

Lifetime continues to take actions to further strengthen its financial position and is highly focused on expense controls and improving inventory turns. At March 31, 2023, the Company’s liquidity was $204.9 million, which is comprised of cash on hand, available borrowings under the credit facility, and availability under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

Additionally, Lifetime continues to diversify its supply chain with particular emphasis on reducing exposure to China. The Company is in the process of acquiring manufacturing operations, which does business as a maquiladora under the IMMEX program. This will enable Lifetime to manufacture some of its plastic modeled kitchenware products in Mexico and import them to the U.S. duty-free. The Company expects this facility to be fully operational in 2023 and to serve as a beachhead for a greater volume of products to be either made or sourced in Mexico.

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 a 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. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided because the Company's management 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 period-to-period comparison of the Company’s operating performance by investors and analysts. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as indicators of business performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP financial measures of performance. As required by SEC rules, the Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
