Lifetime Brands, Inc. (NasdaqGS: LCUT) reported its Q2 2024 financial results, with consolidated net sales of $141.7 million, a 3.2% decrease from Q2 2023. Despite macroeconomic pressures, the company expanded gross margins to 38.5% and grew market share across most categories. However, the company reported a net loss of $18.2 million, largely due to a $14.2 million non-cash charge related to its Grupo Vasconia investment. Lifetime Brands reiterated its full-year 2024 guidance for most metrics, adjusting only the net loss forecast. The company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.0425 per share and maintains a strong liquidity position of $119.3 million as of June 30, 2024.

Lifetime Brands, Inc. (NasdaqGS: LCUT) ha riportato i risultati finanziari del secondo trimestre del 2024, con vendite nette consolidate di 141,7 milioni di dollari, una diminuzione del 3,2% rispetto al secondo trimestre del 2023.

라이프타임 브랜드 주식회사(Lifetime Brands, Inc.) (NasdaqGS: LCUT)가 2024년 2분기 재무 결과를 발표했습니다. Consolidated net sales는 1억 4,170만 달러로 2023년 2분기 대비 3.2% 감소했습니다. 거시경제적 압박에도 불구하고 회사는 총 마진을 38.5%로 확대하고 대부분의 카테고리에서 시장 점유율을 증가시켰습니다. 그러나 회사는 Grupo Vasconia 투자와 관련된 비현금 비용 1,420만 달러로 인해 1,820만 달러의 순손실을 보고했습니다. 라이프타임 브랜드는 대부분의 지표에 대해 2024년 전체 연도 지침을 재확인했습니다, 순손실 예측만 조정했습니다. 회사는 2024년 6월 30일 기준으로 1억 1,930만 달러의 강력한 유동성 위치를 유지하고 있으며, 주당 0.0425달러의 분기 배당금을 선언했습니다.

Lifetime Brands, Inc. (NasdaqGS: LCUT) a publié ses résultats financiers du deuxième trimestre 2024, avec des ventes nettes consolidées de 141,7 millions de dollars, soit une baisse de 3,2 % par rapport au deuxième trimestre 2023. Malgré les pressions macroéconomiques, la société a augmenté les marges brutes à 38,5 % et a gagné des parts de marché dans presque toutes les catégories. Cependant, la société a signalé une perte nette de 18,2 millions de dollars, principalement en raison d'une charge non monétaire de 14,2 millions de dollars liée à son investissement dans Grupo Vasconia. Lifetime Brands a réitéré ses prévisions pour l'année complète 2024 pour la plupart des indicateurs, en ajustant uniquement la prévision de perte nette. L'entreprise a déclaré un dividende trimestriel de 0,0425 dollar par action et maintient une solide position de liquidité de 119,3 millions de dollars au 30 juin 2024.

Lifetime Brands, Inc. (NasdaqGS: LCUT) hat die finanziellen Ergebnisse für das zweite Quartal 2024 veröffentlicht, mit konsolidierten Nettoumsätzen von 141,7 Millionen US-Dollar, was einem Rückgang von 3,2% im Vergleich zum zweiten Quartal 2023 entspricht. Trotz makroökonomischer Drucks hat das Unternehmen die Bruttomargen auf 38,5% erweitert und den Marktanteil in den meisten Kategorien gesteigert. Dennoch berichtete das Unternehmen über einen Nettoverlust von 18,2 Millionen US-Dollar, der größtenteils auf eine nicht zahlungswirksame Belastung von 14,2 Millionen US-Dollar im Zusammenhang mit seiner Investition in Grupo Vasconia zurückzuführen ist. Lifetime Brands bestätigte seine Jahresprognose für 2024 für die meisten Kennzahlen, wobei nur die Prognose für den Nettoverlust angepasst wurde. Das Unternehmen erklärte eine vierteljährliche Dividende von 0,0425 US-Dollar pro Aktie und hält zum 30. Juni 2024 eine starke Liquiditätsposition von 119,3 Millionen US-Dollar.

Positive
  • Gross margin increased to 38.5% in Q2 2024 from 38.2% in Q2 2023
  • Market share growth across majority of categories
  • E-commerce channel growth in core U.S. market
  • Reiterated full-year 2024 guidance for most metrics
  • Strong liquidity position of $119.3 million as of June 30, 2024
  • Declared quarterly dividend of $0.0425 per share
Negative
  • Consolidated net sales decreased by 3.2% to $141.7 million in Q2 2024
  • Net loss of $18.2 million in Q2 2024, compared to $6.5 million loss in Q2 2023
  • Adjusted net loss of $0.6 million in Q2 2024, compared to $0.3 million loss in Q2 2023
  • $14.2 million non-cash charge due to loss of significant influence in Grupo Vasconia investment
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 6.7% to $38.3 million in Q2 2024

Lifetime Brands' Q2 2024 results show resilience amidst challenging market conditions. While consolidated net sales decreased by 3.2% to $141.7 million, the company managed to expand its gross margin to 38.5% from 38.2% year-over-year. This improvement in profitability, despite lower sales, indicates effective cost management and pricing strategies.

However, the significant net loss of $18.2 million is concerning, largely due to a $14.2 million non-cash charge related to the Grupo Vasconia investment. Excluding this charge, the adjusted net loss of $0.6 million is relatively modest. The company's ability to maintain its full-year guidance (except for net loss) suggests confidence in its strategic initiatives and market position.

The strong liquidity position of $119.3 million provides a solid financial foundation for future growth and weathering potential market volatility. Investors should monitor the company's ability to translate its market share gains and e-commerce growth into improved bottom-line results in the coming quarters.

Lifetime Brands' performance reflects broader market trends in the consumer goods sector. The 3.2% decrease in net sales aligns with weakened demand across end markets, likely due to inflationary pressures affecting consumer spending. However, the company's ability to grow market share across most categories is a positive sign, indicating effective competitive positioning.

The growth in e-commerce sales in the core U.S. market is particularly noteworthy, as it demonstrates the company's successful adaptation to changing consumer shopping habits. This channel diversification could prove important in navigating future market shifts. The reiteration of full-year guidance suggests management's confidence in the company's resilience and strategic initiatives.

Investors should keep an eye on macroeconomic factors, especially consumer confidence and spending patterns, as these will significantly impact Lifetime Brands' performance in the coming quarters. The company's focus on innovation and portfolio expansion could be key differentiators in a challenging market environment.

Declares Regular Quarterly Dividend
Reiterates Full Year 2024 Outlook

GARDEN CITY, N.Y., Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lifetime Brands, Inc. (NasdaqGS: LCUT), a leading global designer, developer and marketer of a broad range of branded consumer products used in the home, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Rob Kay, Lifetime’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our results for the second quarter were in line with our expectations even though macroeconomic pressures led to weakened demand across end markets. Despite these challenges, we were able to grow share across the majority of our categories, deliver growth in our e-commerce channel in our core U.S. market and expand our gross margins, a testament to the success of our operating strategy and we remain well positioned for resilient long-term growth.”

Mr. Kay continued, “Looking ahead to the remainder of the year, we remain on track to drive consistent growth in line with expectations and driven by strategic initiatives. To that end, we are reiterating our guidance for 2024 across every metric except net loss, which has been adjusted to reflect a non-cash loss related to the write down on our Grupo Vasconia investment which the Company made in 2007. With a strong balance sheet and robust cash flow generation, we have a solid foundation in place as we invest in our future growth and execute on the significant strategic opportunities already in our pipeline. We are confident we remain well-positioned to deliver meaningful value as we continue to expand our leading portfolio of brands, accelerate innovation and capture incremental growth opportunities.”
