Third Quarter 2021 Results

Revenue in the third quarter of 2021 grew 31.8% to a third quarter record of $163.3 million compared to $123.9 million in the prior year quarter. On a constant currency basis, third quarter revenue was higher by 29.2% year-over-year. Sales growth was primarily driven by improved demand across the majority of our global footprint in addition to the contribution of our recent acquisitions.

Gross margin in the third quarter declined to 26.2% compared to 31.4% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted gross margin in the third quarter was 26.3% compared to 31.4% in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year difference in gross margin mainly reflects higher raw material prices, particularly polyester, and shipping price increases which were partially offset by favorable product mix, selling price increases and more favorable exchange rates.

Operating expenses in the third quarter were $33.9 million, or 20.7% of revenue, compared to $23.8 million, or 19.2% of revenue in the prior year quarter. Excluding legal settlements and loss contingencies, operating expenses were 21.0% of revenue, compared to 18.8% in the prior year quarter, mainly due to a return to normalized levels of marketing and selling expenses and investments related to initiatives under the Company’s Global Growth Acceleration Plan.

Operating income was $8.9 million compared to operating income of $15.0 million in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year decline mainly reflects higher operating expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes expenses for non-cash share-based compensation, legal settlements and loss contingencies and for non-recurring items, was $17.7 million in the third quarter, representing a margin of 10.8%. This compares to adjusted EBITDA of $23.7 million, representing a margin of 19.1%, in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year margin decline primarily reflects the lower operating income.

Finance expense in the third quarter was $2.4 million compared to finance income of $0.1 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was mainly related to exchange rate fluctuations, higher credit card fees due to higher volume as well as interest related to bank loan.

Net Income attributable to controlling interest for the third quarter was $5.9 million compared to net income of $12.8 million in the prior year quarter. Net income per share for the third quarter was $0.17 compared to net income per share of $0.37 in the prior year quarter. Adjusted diluted net income per share for the third quarter was $0.20 on 34.6 million shares, compared to adjusted diluted net income per share of $0.41 in the prior year quarter on 34.5 million shares.

Balance Sheet & Liquidity

As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s balance sheet remained strong, including cash, cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits and short and long-term marketable securities of $104.7 million and total debt to financial institutions of $13.2 million.

Dividend

The Company’s dividend policy provides for a quarterly cash dividend of up to 50% of reported net income on a year-to-date basis, less any amount already paid as dividend for the respective period (the “calculated dividend”), subject in each case to approval by the Company’s board of directors. No dividend is paid if it would be less than $0.10 per share. In accordance with the Company’s dividend policy, the board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share for the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The dividend will be paid on November 30, 2021 to shareholders of record as of November 17, 2021. The dividend payment is subject to withholding tax of 20%.

Outlook

Based on year-to-date progress, the Company reiterates its expectation for 2021 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to be higher year-over-year. The Company anticipates revenue to grow faster than EBITDA in 2021 mainly due to higher raw material and shipping costs, coupled with a return to more normalized levels of sales and marketing expenses and other investments to support growth initiatives. The Company’s outlook includes the investment costs associated with its Global Growth Acceleration Plan.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP measures presented by the Company should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, comparable GAAP measures. Reconciliations of GAAP gross profit to adjusted gross profit, GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted net income (loss) and net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA are provided in the schedules to this release. To calculate revenues growth rates that exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company converts actual reported results from local currency to U.S. dollars using constant foreign currency exchange rates in the current and comparable period. The Company provides these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that they present a better measure of the Company's core business and management uses the non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the Company's ongoing performance. Accordingly, the Company believes that they are useful to investors in enhancing an understanding of the Company's operating performance.
