Insights

Envela's Q2 2024 results present a mixed picture. While revenue decreased 11.4% YoY to $45.3 million, the company maintained its earnings at $0.06 per share. The improved gross margin of 25.1% (up from 21.1%) is a positive sign, indicating better cost management. However, the Consumer Division's performance is concerning, with a 19.3% revenue decline and a shift to an operating loss. The Commercial Division's strong performance, with 16.2% revenue growth and a significant increase in operating income, is offsetting these challenges. The company's focus on fee-for-service relationships and sustainability solutions in the Commercial Division appears to be paying off.

Envela's retail expansion strategy shows promise but faces short-term headwinds. The launch of Four Nines™ and partnership with Bijoux Exchange™ demonstrate innovation in the luxury resale market. However, new store costs and inventory carry are currently weighing on performance. The softness in bullion demand is impacting revenue but has effect on margins due to thin trading spreads. The company's focus on customer engagement and sustainability in luxury retail aligns with current market trends. As these new stores ramp up and the company streamlines its opening process, we could see improved performance in the Consumer Division. The expansion into San Antonio suggests confidence in the model despite current challenges.

Envela's commitment to sustainability and the circular economy is evident in its Commercial Division's success. The 16.2% revenue growth in this division, driven by demand for e-waste recycling and sustainable solutions, highlights the increasing market value of eco-friendly business models. The company's focus on recycling materials critical to clean energy technologies positions it well in the growing green economy. However, the Consumer Division's luxury resale model, while inherently sustainable, is currently underperforming. Balancing these two approaches to sustainability - industrial recycling and consumer resale - will be important for Envela's long-term success in positioning itself as a leader in sustainable business practices.

DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 7, 2024 / Envela Corporation (NYSE American:ELA) ("Envela" or the "Company"), today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024. The Company reported quarterly revenue of $45.3 million and quarterly earnings per diluted share of $0.06.

Management Commentary
"We are thrilled to share that our Commercial Division achieved a new revenue record for the June quarter, totaling $13.3 million, which is up 16.2 percent from a year ago," said John Loftus, Envela's CEO. "Additionally, during the quarter, we were excited to announce updates to our Consumer Division's retail store launches, including Four Nines™, our retail concept focusing on the sale of authenticated luxury goods, as well as a partnership that allows customers to sell their luxury items through Bijoux Exchange™. We very much look forward to expanding this retail concept to more locations across the U.S. as we continue to invest in the in-store experience."

"In the second quarter of 2024, our Commercial Division continued to achieve solid operating results. We have continued to focus on maintaining operational discipline while providing best-in-class service to our clients," said John DeLuca, Envela's CFO. "Our Consumer Division results were moderated by the impact of new store costs, softness of demand for bullion and new store inventory carry. While the softness in bullion demand has magnified the revenue decline, its overall impact on gross margin is tempered due to thin trading margins. We are also crystallizing strategies to streamline the store opening process to reduce associated costs and time to open."

Commercial Division
"During the quarter, we were able to maintain our momentum and grow our fee-for-service relationships, which allows for further diversification from inventory-related revenue streams. We are committed to offering our customers a broad array of service and support options while advancing a circular economy. Our recent growth has been fueled by strong demand for solutions that mitigate environmental impacts and enhance sustainability. Through customer expansion and by building upon robust relationships with our existing customers through additional services, we not only improve the reach of e-waste recycling but also unlock new revenue opportunities from recycled materials critical to clean energy technologies. We remain committed to investing in and streamlining our operations as we focus on delivering lasting value to our partners while achieving success on both the top and bottom lines." - Tommy McGuire, Head of Envela's Commercial Division

Consumer Division
"We entered 2024 with high ambitions for our retail expansion, and we've been truly blown away by the positive responses from our customers. They love everything about our stores-from the thoughtful design and knowledgeable staff to innovative features like Bijoux Exchange. Today's shoppers are savvy and seek value, which is why we work tirelessly to offer exceptional deals to help our customers stretch their dollars. What truly sets our stores apart is our commitment to client engagement; our experts and services are at the heart of our store experience. Our goal is to bring experts and great deals to more communities, and we are excited to launch stores in the San Antonio community as we expand our footprint in Texas. We sincerely appreciate our associates for their support as we continue to grow. We hope our new flagship stores will inspire even more support for resale and contribute to making luxury more sustainable." - Allison DeStefano, Head of Envela's Consumer Division.
