RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC / ACCESSWIRE / September 3, 2020 / Charles & Colvard, Ltd. (NASDAQ:CTHR) (the "Company"), the original and leading worldwide source of created moissanite, reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company reported net sales of $4.4 million and net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.04 loss per diluted share, which includes the non-recurring impact of severance and stock-based compensation from the Company's CEO transition and severance cost for the reduction in staff. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, the Company reported net sales of $29.2 million and net loss of $6.2 million, or $0.22 loss per diluted share, which includes the impact of $5.3 million related to the write-off of legacy material inventory.

"During this quarter, despite these trying times, we were able to generate positive operating cash flow by taking proactive measures to contract and realign our business," said Don O'Connell, President and CEO of Charles & Colvard. "We rightsized the business across all functional areas including reorganizing the management team, reducing staff and pivoting our marketing and advertising efforts. We were able to capitalize on our in-stock inventory position to support multiple online channels that saw a growing demand as the traditional retail landscape shifted due to the impacts of COVID-19. Due to these efforts, we began to see positive trends in June, which helped mitigate the continued impact of global shutdowns during the previous months. For the full year, our Online Channels segment and finished jewelry sales drove nearly 60% of revenue, led by our Forever One^TM, Moissanite by Charles & Colvard^® and Signature Collection brands."

"As we look forward, we plan to execute strategies focused on driving shareholder value. With our solid cash reserves, healthy balance sheet, and dedicated team, we believe we are poised to capitalize on the recent momentum and increase our market share in the ever-expanding lab-grown space. We plan to increase brand awareness, expand our product offerings, and grow our digital footprint in our quest to become an industry leading fine jewelry company. We are committed to delivering financial performance through operational excellence and timely strategic actions," Mr. O'Connell concluded.
