Fiscal Third Quarter 2023 Key Highlights:

• Revenues were $91.5 million, as compared with $68.3 million, an increase of 34.1% over the prior year period
• Net income was $1.1 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were $0.33, as compared with $3.5 million and diluted EPS of $1.11 in the prior year period

• Total assets of $360.2 million
• Stockholders’ equity of $104.2 million
• Approximately $32.3 million of cash and availability under the Company’s credit facilities at the end of the quarter

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company acquired Precision Metal Works (“PMW”) for total consideration of $28 million, adding approximately $75 million of revenue per year. PMW manufactures and supplies highly-engineered parts and components. PMW offers world-class metal forming, assembly, and finishing solutions across diverse industries, including appliance, automotive, hardware, electrical, electronic, and medical products and devices.

“Amidst challenging economic headwinds during the quarter, revenue increased 34.1% and Adjusted EBITDA rose by 8.3%. This was largely driven by the strategic acquisitions of Flooring Liquidators, Inc. (“Flooring Liquidators”) and The Kinetic Co. (“Kinetic”), which together contributed a substantial $34.4 million in revenue and $4.0 million in Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter. While some of our segments experienced declines, our steadfast focus on expansion and innovation allowed us to continue our journey toward sustained success,” commented David Verret, Chief Financial Officer of Live Ventures.

“The acquisition of PMW is a source of great excitement for us as it complements our current steel manufacturing operations and aligns perfectly with our long-term 'buy-build-hold' strategy. We see immense potential with this acquisition,” stated Jon Isaac, President and Chief Executive Officer of Live Ventures. “In addition, we are making steady progress with our recent acquisitions by bolstering their capabilities and product offerings. Our dedication to generating long-term value for our stockholders remains steadfast. Despite the current market challenges, we have full confidence in our ability to navigate through them.”

Third Quarter FY 2023 Financial Summary (in thousands except per share amounts)

	During the three months ended June 30,
		2023			2022		% Change
Revenues	$	91,516		$	68,269		34.1	%
Operating Income	$	5,561		$	5,864		-5.2	%
Net income	$	1,060		$	3,472		-69.5	%
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.33		$	1.11		-70.3	%
Adjusted EBITDA	$	9,575		$	8,840		8.3	%

Third quarter FY 2023 revenues of $91.5 million increased 34.1%. The increase is primarily attributable to incremental revenue of approximately $34.4 million related to the recently acquired Flooring Liquidators and Kinetic. The increase was partially offset by decreased revenues of approximately $11.2 million in the other businesses, which is primarily due to reduced demand and inflationary pressures.

Operating income decreased 5.2% to $5.6 million for the third quarter of FY 2023, as compared to $5.9 million in the prior year period. The decrease in operating income is primarily attributable to lower revenues and higher costs in the Retail Entertainment, Flooring Manufacturing and Corporate segments, partially offset by the additions of Flooring Liquidators and Kinetic.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, net income was $1.1 million and diluted EPS was $0.33, as compared with net income of $3.5 million and diluted EPS of $1.11 in the prior year period. The decrease in net income is attributable to lower operating income and increased interest expense. The increase in interest expense is primarily related to the incremental debt incurred in the Flooring Liquidators and Kinetic acquisitions.

Third quarter FY 2023 Adjusted EBITDA of $9.6 million increased approximately $0.7 million, or 8.3%, as compared to the prior year period. The increase is primarily due to the acquisitions of Flooring Liquidators and Kinetic offset by decreases in the other businesses.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had total cash availability of $32.3 million, consisting of cash on hand of $3.5 million and cash availability under its various lines of credit of $28.8 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Adjusted EBITDA

We evaluate the performance of our operations based on financial measures, such as “Adjusted EBITDA,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other non-cash or nonrecurring charges. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of the business, including the business’s ability to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures and to service its debt. Additionally, this measure is used by management to evaluate operating results and perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also a measure that is customarily used by financial analysts to evaluate a company’s financial performance, subject to certain adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent cash flows from operations, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss, and is indicative neither of our results of operations, nor of cash flow available to fund our cash needs. It is, however, a measurement that the Company believes is useful to investors in analyzing its operating performance. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities, and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. As companies often define non-GAAP financial measures differently, Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by Live Ventures Incorporated should not be compared to any similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

These forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "will," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates," and similar statements. Live Ventures may also make written or oral forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, in its annual report to stockholders, in press releases and other written materials, and in oral statements made by its officers, directors or employees to third parties. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate and there are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by the Company, including, but not limited to, plans and objectives of management for future operations or products, the market acceptance or future success of our products, and our future financial performance. The Company cautions that these forward-looking statements are further qualified by other factors including, but not limited to, those set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 (available at http://www.sec.gov).
