Exhibit 99.1
Lifetime Brands, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Declares Regular Quarterly Dividend
GARDEN CITY, NY, March 9, 2023 – 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 and full year ended December 31, 2022.
Rob Kay, Lifetime’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our core business continues to deliver solid performance in the face of industrywide challenges, as a result of our strong market share position and proactive cost management actions. Our fourth quarter results reflect the ongoing impact of reduced orders from our customers as retailers continue to focus on rightsizing their inventory levels. Inflationary and other macro-economic challenges also contributed to weaker end market demand, especially in our European markets. Despite the difficult environment, our efforts to reduce costs, restructure our European operations and identify efficiencies throughout the business have driven improved gross margins and continued strong cash flow generation, and we believe that the Company is well positioned for continued top and bottom line growth.”
Mr. Kay continued, “Although industry headwinds remain, we believe the Company will outperform 2022 results in the year ahead, driven by more stable global supply chains, normalization of customer ordering patterns, improved profitability from our restructured International business and continued execution on our strategic growth initiatives, including our commercial food service expansion. We are proud to have achieved another year of significant progress for Lifetime, and I’m grateful to our talented team for all their hard work during these challenging times. Importantly, we ended the year with historically high levels of liquidity, and believe we are well positioned to drive shareholder value in 2023.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including consolidated net sales in constant currency, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted income per common share, adjusted EBITDA, before limitation, pro forma adjusted EBITDA, before limitation, and pro forma 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 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.
