Luvu Brands Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2022 Results

Reports Record First Quarter Net Sales of $6.2 million; Up 16% from the prior year first quarter

ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / November 15, 2021 / Luvu Brands, Inc. (OTCQB:LUVU), a designer, manufacturer and marketer of a portfolio of consumer lifestyle brands, today reported financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Fiscal First Quarter 2021 Highlights

Three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020:

  • Net sales increased 16% to a first quarter record of $6.2 million from $5.4 million.
  • Total gross profit of $1.5 million, unchanged from the prior year.
  • Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 24% from 28%.
  • Operating expenses were $1,176,000, an increase of 12%, or approximately $124,000, from the prior year.
  • Net income of $227,000, or $0.00 per share, compared to a net income of $329,000, or $0.00 per share in the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $398,000 for the quarter compared to $494,000 in the prior year quarter.

Louis Friedman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "During the first quarter, our margins were negatively impacted by raw material cost increases, labor shortages and higher freight costs compared to last year. We continue to increase our retail and wholesale selling prices, we have outsourced additional manufacturing to Mexico and invested heavily in additional automation to lower our costs. Although some raw material costs have begun to come down, I anticipate continued margin pressure for the next three to six months. Despite global supply chain disruptions, we are well stocked for the upcoming holiday season and I expect sales growth to be consistent with the most recent quarter."

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters discussed in this press release may be forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as ''should,'' ''may,'' ''intends,'' ''anticipates,'' ''believes,'' ''estimates,'' ''projects,'' ''forecasts,'' ''expects,'' ''plans,'' and ''proposes.'' These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider any cautionary statements and other disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on September 28, 2021 and our other filings with the SEC. All forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, many of which are generally outside the control of Luvu Brands, Inc. and are difficult to predict.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Luvu Brands' management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various financial metrics. In addition to the Company's GAAP results, management also considers the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Operating Margin. As used herein, Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation expense, and Non-GAAP Operating Margin means Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about the Company's operating results. Neither Adjusted EBITDA nor Non-GAAP Operating Margin have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, gross profit and net income as indicators of the Company's operating performance. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures, as presented by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company has attached to this press release a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
