MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"We are beginning to see some signs of normalization in inventory levels and order patterns in certain categories; however, inventory de-stocking continues to impact our results, with the recent macro headwinds impacting overall demand across our categories," stated David Bruce, President and Chief Executive Officer of FGI.  "While our top-line results are facing challenges, we continue to see the benefits of our margin improvement initiatives, with gross margin improving 530 basis points from last year.  As a result, our gross profit declined only 3% during the third quarter despite the 22% drop in revenues.  We could see some short-term variability in our gross margins as we invest in our growth initiatives and see a rebound in our pro channel and bath furniture business, but we believe that our improved gross margin profile should be sustainable longer-term owing to our strategic focus on higher-margin categories and improved operating scale." 

"While we are disappointed by our recent revenue results, we are encouraged by our Brands, Products, and Channel (BPC) growth initiatives, which will enable us to drive above-market growth in the coming years," noted Bruce.  "We remain steadfast in our efforts to continue our strategic investments in this promising direction.  Despite the recent market dislocation, we once again made important progress on our strategic targets during the third quarter.  Last quarter we announced an important licensing agreement that gives us access to a new overflow toilet technology, which we think will be an important differentiator in the market, and we are excited to announce that we have expanded this agreement to include our Canadian market.  We look forward to launching this platform as well as many other new offerings at the Kitchen & Bath show in early 2024.  During the quarter, we also made a strategic investment with a major retail customer to lay the groundwork for future growth. We also continue to make key progress on our new digital custom kitchen cabinetry venture, which we have discussed in recent quarters and expect to be an important driver for our kitchen business." 

"We maintained our strict financial discipline during the quarter, resulting in a cash balance of nearly $5.4 million at the end of the third quarter, which combined with our borrowing capacity, resulted in total liquidity of $20.9 million," stated Perry Lin, Chief Financial Officer of FGI.  "Given the successful implementation of our BPC strategy, we continue to believe the highest and best use of our capital is for internal investment and this will remain our priority in the near-term; however, we will also continue to evaluate opportunities for strategic M&A."

"We continue to make progress on our strategic growth initiatives, and we have several exciting programs that should contribute to improved growth opportunities in the coming quarters," continued Bruce.  "The demand environment remains uneven, which is prolonging the de-stocking headwinds that have impacted results over the last year, with several industry forecasters predicting mid-to-high single-digit declines in home improvement industry spending in 2024.  While this will impact our business, we believe our execution of the BPC strategy, coupled with our strategic investments, will allow us to outpace the negative market predictions and should enable FGI to drive organic growth in the coming year.  As we have previously mentioned, we continue to invest in our business for the long-term, regardless of the near-term market and business environment."

"Softening consumer demand coupled with continued de-stocking and investments for future growth, including the previously mentioned investment with a major retail customer, have caused us to revise our full-year outlook.  As a result, we now expect full year 2023 revenues of $115 million to $120 million, adjusted operating income of $2.0 million to $2.8 million and adjusted net income of $1.0 million to $1.5 million," concluded Bruce.

STRATEGIC UPDATE

FGI intends to drive long-term shareholder value through the execution of its Brands, Products and Channel (BPC) strategy to drive organic growth, enhanced financial performance, and efficient capital deployment.  Some of the key accomplishments during the third quarter of 2023 were as follows:

• BPC Strategy: FGI has continued to invest in its BPC strategy despite the market challenges, which is expected to drive improved organic growth longer-term. Some of the key successes during the quarter were as follows:
  • Last quarter, FGI announced it entered into a 5-year licensing agreement that will provide the Company access to an industry leading overflow toilet technology, and during the third quarter, this agreement was expanded to include the Company's Canadian operations. FGI expects to launch new sanitaryware products utilizing this technology at the 2024 Kitchen & Bath Show.
  • FGI continues to focus on its initiatives to expand geographically, with recently signed agreements providing entry into India, Eastern Europe, Australia, and the UK. During the third quarter, FGI initiated a partnership with its first distribution partner in India, while our products were approved for use in large commercial projects for a new national construction company customer.
  • The company is unveiling an exciting collaboration with Vurtu.uk, a highly regarded bath distributor in the U.K. Under this exclusive arrangement, FGI will be the sole supplier of sanitaryware, featuring a range of new toilets and sinks including the Company's innovative rimless technology toilet. Vurtu.uk will showcase FGI's products on popular e-commerce platforms such as ManoMano, Home Base, and B&Q, as well as extending this exceptional offering to their entire customer base.
  • The Company continued to execute on recently announced awards, including its online shower door program for an existing large Canadian retail partner that commenced in June 2023, and the roll-out of FGI's industry leading shower wall program into as many as 300 locations of a large U.S. retailer. Both programs are on track and should contribute to improved shower systems orders in the fourth quarter and into 2024.
  • FGI won a significant award for new business with a major U.S. retailer that has agreed to expand their in-store bath furniture assortment with FGI. Several new collections consisting of over 20 new bath furniture items will be added featuring brand new and exciting finishes, styles and configurations that will roll into stores in the second quarter 2024.
  • FGI was awarded a new toilet program at a major national U.S. wholesaler. This program will include unique product updates to current toilet offerings at this customer while also adding the recently announced new overflow toilet to the program. We expect this program to begin shipping in Q1 2024.
  • The custom-cabinetry business continues to grow rapidly, with significantly higher incremental gross margins than the group average. The premium Covered Bridge brand added 93 new dealers thus far in 2023, bringing the total active dealer count to 198 at the end of the third quarter. The company continues to make progress on its new digital custom kitchen cabinetry investment, which is expected to formally launch in early 2024. FGI will have a large display at the 2024 Kitchen & Bath show that showcases its Covered Bridge custom kitchen cabinetry line.
• Enhanced Margin Performance: FGI generated another period of strong gross margin performance with third quarter gross margin of 26.2%, up from 20.9% in the same period last year. The Company's strategic decision to focus on higher-margin categories and improved product mix has been the main driver of the improved performance. Third quarter gross margin declined modestly on a sequential basis from the second quarter owing to expected investment spending for the Company's new overflow technology, as well as promotional spending to support a new program with a large customer that is expected to drive future placements with the customer.
• Efficient Capital Deployment: The Company will continue to prioritize capital deployment in support of organic growth opportunities, while continuing to evaluate strategic M&A opportunities. With total liquidity of $20.9 million at September 30, 2023, the Company believes it has sufficient financial flexibility to fund its organic growth strategy.

THIRD QUARTER 2023 RESULTS

Revenue totaled $29.9 million during the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of 22.3% compared to the prior-year period, driven by continued inventory de-stocking, as well as end market demand weakness in the broader home improvement market.     

• Sanitaryware revenue was $20.7 million during the third quarter of 2023, down from $25.5 million in the prior-year period, due to de-stocking headwinds, particularly in the pro channel, and more muted demand trends. Sanitaryware revenue increased 10.2% sequentially from the second quarter of 2023, the second consecutive quarter of sequential revenue gains, as some customers are beginning to return to more normal order patterns and new customer programs are benefitting results.
• Bath Furniture revenue was $2.5 million during the third quarter of 2023, a decline from revenue of $5.6 million in the prior-year period. The broader bath furniture market continues to be one of the product categories more impacted by the recent macro headwinds. FGI's product mix in bath furniture is more focused on higher-end priced products, which are experiencing more pronounced weakness than lower cost products in the space. As a result of the recent market trends, FGI is expanding its product offering in the mid-tier category to better address current demand.
• Shower Systems revenue was $4.9 million during the third quarter, down from $5.4 million last year, but up 15% sequentially from the second quarter of 2023. While the shower business has experienced some modest inventory de-stocking, demand trends remain steady and recently launched programs are gaining momentum. These new programs include the online shower door program with a large Canadian retailer, as well as the new shower wall systems roll-out at up to 300 locations of a large U.S. retailer during the second half of 2023.
• Other revenue, which consists primarily of the custom kitchen cabinetry business, was $1.7 million during the third quarter, down modestly from $2.0 million last year. Momentum in the business remains strong, as the Company continues to add new dealers to the network and the new kitchen cabinetry initiative is on track for launch in early 2024.

Gross profit was $7.8 million during the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of only 2.6% compared to last year, while gross margins improved to 26.2%, up 530 basis points from the prior-year period.  Gross margins continue to benefit from a shift in revenue mix towards higher-margin products, lower logistics costs, and the full benefit of pricing actions taken during 2022. 

Operating income was $0.5 million during the third quarter of 2023, down from income of $1.7 million in the prior-year period.  Operating income during the third quarter of 2023 included non-recurring expenses of $0.1 million for IPO legal fees, business expansion expense, and IPO-related stock-based compensation.  Excluding these non-recurring expenses, adjusted operating income was $0.6 million during the third quarter.  The decline in operating income was a result of the revenue headwinds and continued investments in growth initiatives, partially offset by the improved gross margin realization.  The Company continues to invest in its BPC growth strategy despite the short-term revenue pressures.  The increase in operating expenses during the third quarter included marketing spend for the recently launched overflow toilet product line and expenses tied to new custom kitchen cabinetry business development opportunities.  As a result, operating margin was 1.6% during the third quarter, down from 4.3% in the same period last year.

The Company reported a GAAP net income of $0.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share during the third quarter of 2023, versus net income of $1.3 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the same period last year.  Net income for the third quarter of 2023 included after-tax expenses of $0.1 million related to IPO legal fees, business expansion expense, and IPO-related stock-based compensation.  Excluding these items, adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $0.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.   

FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $5.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, total debt of $8.0 million and $15.6 million of availability under its credit facilities net of letters of credit. Combined with cash and cash equivalents, total liquidity was $20.9 million at September 30, 2023.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

FGI believes the long-term outlook for the repair and remodel markets remains attractive, and the Company continues to be encouraged by the progress achieved on its organic growth initiatives through the BPC strategy.  While the Company has made excellent progress on its margin improvement initiatives, this has been offset by near-term inventory de-stocking pressure from key customers, uneven demand trends across our sales geographies coupled with continued strategic investments throughout the organization for future growth.  As a result of these factors, the Company has revised its fiscal 2023 guidance as follows:

• Total Revenue of $115 million and $120 million
• Total Adjusted Operating Income of $2.0 million and $2.8 million
• Total Adjusted Net Income of $1.0 million to $1.5 million

The Company's 2023 guidance includes roughly $0.8 million in costs related to investments with a major retail customer in addition to a previously announced new custom kitchen cabinetry business venture. Guidance for adjusted operating income and adjusted net income is presented on an adjusted basis and excludes non-recurring items.  All guidance is current as of the time provided and is subject to change.

ABOUT FGI INDUSTRIES

FGI Industries Ltd. (Nasdaq: FGI) is a leading global supplier of kitchen and bath products. For over 30 years, we have built an industry-wide reputation for product innovation, quality, and excellent customer service. We are currently focused on the following product categories: sanitaryware (primarily toilets, sinks, pedestals and toilet seats), bath furniture (vanities, mirrors and cabinets), shower systems, customer kitchen cabinetry and other accessory items. These products are sold primarily for repair and remodel activity and, to a lesser extent, new home or commercial construction. We sell our products through numerous partners, including mass retail centers, wholesale and commercial distributors, online retailers and specialty stores.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the measures presented in our consolidated financial statements, we use the following non-GAAP measures to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business and assist us in making strategic decisions. Our non-GAAP measures are: Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margins and Adjusted Net Income. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). They are supplemental financial measures of our performance only, and should not be considered substitutes for net income, income from operations or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other entities. We define Adjusted Operating Income as GAAP income from operations excluding the impact of certain non-recurring expenses, including expenses related to COVID‑19 protocols, non-recurring compensation expenses related to our IPO, and one-time anti-dumping penalty expenses. We define Adjusted Net Income as GAAP net income excluding the tax-effected impact of certain non-recurring expenses and income such as expenses related to COVID‑19 protocols, unusual litigation fees and non-recurring compensation expenses related to our IPO. We define Adjusted Operating Margins as adjusted income from operations divided by revenue.

We use these non-GAAP measures, along with U.S. GAAP measures, to evaluate our business, measure our financial performance and profitability and our ability to manage expenses, after adjusting for certain non-recurring expenses, identify trends affecting our business and assist us in making strategic decisions. We believe these non-GAAP measures, when reviewed in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial measures, and not in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations under U.S. GAAP, are useful to investors as they are widely used measures of performance and the adjustments we make to these non-GAAP measures provide investors further insight into our profitability and additional perspectives in comparing our performance over time on a consistent basis. With respect to the Company's expectations of its future performance, the Company's reconciliations of full year 2023 Adjusted Operating Income and 2023 Adjusted Net Income are not available, as the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts to the degree of precision that would be required in the relevant GAAP measures without unreasonable effort.
