iFabric Corp Announces Q1 2023 Financial Results

MARKHAM, ON / ACCESSWIRE / February 14, 2023 / iFabric Corp. ("iFabric" or the "Company") (TSX:IFA.TO)(OTCQX:IFABF), today announced its financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2023 ended December 31, 2022.

"We are pleased to report that overall Company revenue for this quarter matched the revenues of the comparable quarter last year despite some unavoidable impacts on our chemical business due to the renewed lockdowns in China late last year," said Hylton Karon, President and CEO of iFabric. "Despite these lingering pandemic related challenges, revenue increases in other areas of our business allowed us to make up for the chemical business shortfall," he continued. "We also saw an improvement in our gross margins as a result of reduced shipping costs from Asia, as the impact of the pandemic and supply chain bottlenecks continues to ease. With our order book currently at the highest level in company history and with new opportunities currently under negotiation, I remain confident that we will see unprecedented revenue growth for the overall business in the remaining quarters of fiscal 2023," concluded Mr. Karon.

HIGHLIGHTS FOR FIRST QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 (Q1 2023):

  • Total revenues of $4,916,365 in Q1 2023 compared to $4,993,871 in Q1 2022, representing a decrease of $77,506 or 2%.
  • Revenues for the Intelligent Fabrics Division were $3,087,556 in Q1 2023 compared to $3,316,499 in Q1 2021, representing a decrease of $228,943 or 7%. The decrease in revenue for this division was attributable to approximately $1 million in lower chemical revenues in China, pursuant to government mandated lockdowns due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant closure of production facilities. This decrease was partially offset by increased finished performance apparel sales in Canada.
  • Revenues for the Intimate Apparel Division were $1,806,663 in Q1 2023 compared to $1,649,401in Q1 2022, representing an increase of $157,262 or 10%, primarily attributable to increased sales in Canada.
  • Gross profit margins increased by 3% to 40% in Q1 2023 from 37% in Q1 2022, primarily attributable to a reduction in freight costs from Asia.
  • Gross profit dollars increased by 6% or $106,388 to $1,955,888 in Q1 2023 from $1,849,500 in Q1 2022, as a result of the increase in gross margins.
  • Selling, general and administrative costs increased to $1,791,195 In Q1 2023 from $1,433,744 in Q1 2022. The increase of $357,451 in costs is mainly attributable to increases in personnel costs, commissions, rent, advertising and travel, which have been incurred to support future projected growth in both operating divisions of the Company.
  • Adjusted EBITDA* amounted to $211,977 in Q1 2023 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $394,526 in Q1 2022, representing a decrease of $182,549, largely attributable to increased expenses as discussed above.
  • Net earnings after tax attributable to iFabric's shareholders during Q1 2023 was $134,566 ($0.005 per share basic and $0.004 per share diluted) compared to $167,960 ($0.006 per share basic and diluted) in Q1 2022, representing a decrease of $33,394.

*USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

Certain measures in this document do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and, therefore, are not considered generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") measures and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Where non-GAAP measures or terms are used, definitions are provided. The Company believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide important information regarding the operational performance and related trends of the Company's business. In this document and in the Company's consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted, all financial data is prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess its operating performance without the effects of (as applicable): current and deferred tax expense, finance costs, interest income, depreciation and amortization of plant assets, other gains and losses, impairment loss, share-based compensation and other non-recurring items. The Company adjusts for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and may not optimally represent its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be representative of net earnings from operations or an alternative measure to cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS.
