CEO Sean Macdonald commented: "We are very pleased with our 2021 second quarter results as we continue to create awareness of Leatt as a global consumer brand to drive demand for our exceptional, award-winning products and reach a wider global audience.  The second quarter was yet another ground-breaking and record-setting quarter for Leatt. We achieved strong double-digit growth across all of our 'Head-to-Toe' product categories and in every major geographical area in which we sell our products.  

"Global revenues for the second quarter more than doubled to $14.3 million, an increase of 106% over the 2020 second quarter. Net income for the second quarter rose to $2.4 million, an increase of 257% over the 2020 second quarter.

"For the first six months of 2021, revenues were $27.2 million, up 88% over the same period last year. Net income for the first six months was $4.5 million, up 331% over the same period last year.

"The numbers for the quarter demonstrate our ability to grow revenues strongly while remaining operationally efficient. The increase in the second quarter of 2021 was driven by a 46% increase in neck brace sales, a 107% increase in body armor sales, a 91% increase in helmet sales, and a 165% increase in sales of other products, parts, and accessories.

"We continued to build steady momentum during the 2021 second quarter, which marked the fourth quarter in a row of record-breaking revenue growth, and the 13th consecutive quarter of year-on-year revenue growth. We believe that our ongoing growth is a testament to the success of our strategy that is focused on building Leatt into a global consumer brand by growing our product categories to anticipate and serve the needs of our riders.

"Consumer spending on outdoor products continues to increase as people around the world participate widely in outdoor activities that provide some escape from the Covid-19 pandemic, a trend that we expect to continue."

Founder and Chairman Dr. Christopher Leatt remarked: "Our design and engineering team continues to be energized by the surging consumer demand levels and the recognition our products are receiving from athletes around the world, the media and our business partners. We look forward to presenting our 2022 product line to consumers around the world in the second half of this year."

Financial Summary

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2021 increased to $14.3 million, up 106%, compared to $6.9 million for the second quarter of 2020.

Income from operations for the second quarter of 2021 increased to $3.1 million, up 246%, compared to $908,820 for the second quarter of 2020.
