Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OCTO) ha riportato i risultati finanziari per il secondo trimestre del 2024. I punti salienti includono:

L'azienda si è concentrata sul miglioramento della propria stabilità finanziaria annullando 23 milioni di dollari in passività e rimborsando note convertibili, il che ha comportato una riduzione delle azioni dilutive. La diminuzione dei ricavi è stata attribuita alla riduzione del capitale per le vendite di telefoni cellulari dopo il rimborso della nota convertibile.

Insights

Eightco's Q2 2024 results present a mixed picture. The company swung to a $4.4 million net income from a $8.9 million loss year-over-year, primarily due to better operating performance and elimination of warrant losses. However, revenues dropped significantly from $20.5 million to $7.0 million, a 65.9% decrease.

The reduction in revenue is attributed to decreased capital for cell phone sales after repaying a convertible note. Despite this, gross profit margin improved from 12.3% to 25.3%, indicating better efficiency. The company's focus on its Forever 8 subsidiary and cost-cutting measures led to a 26.6% reduction in SG&A expenses.

Eightco's balance sheet restructuring, including cancellation of $23 million in liabilities, suggests a strategic pivot towards financial stability. This shift, while impacting short-term revenue, may position the company for more sustainable growth in its inventory capital business for e-commerce sellers.

Eightco's strategic shift towards its Forever 8 subsidiary, focusing on inventory capital for e-commerce and refurbished Apple product sellers, aligns with growing trends in these markets. The global e-commerce market is projected to reach $8.1 trillion by 2026, presenting significant opportunities for inventory financing services.

The refurbished smartphone market, particularly for Apple products, is also expanding rapidly, expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.2% from 2021 to 2028. This pivot could position Eightco to capitalize on these high-growth sectors, potentially offsetting the short-term revenue decline from reduced cell phone sales.

However, investors should monitor how quickly Eightco can scale its Forever 8 operations to compensate for the revenue gap. The company's improved gross margin and reduced operating expenses indicate a leaner operation, which could accelerate profitability if revenue growth resumes.

Quarter Driven by Capital Restructuring to Prioritize Financial Stability

  • Second quarter 2024 net income of $4.4 million versus net loss of ($8.9) million for the prior year quarter, due to better operating performance and elimination of warrant losses related to a retired convertible note

  • Second quarter 2024 revenues of $7.0 million versus $20.5 million for the prior year quarter, driven by reduction in capital available for cell phone sales after repayment of the convertible note

Easton, PA, Aug. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OCTO) (the “Company” or “Eightco”) today announced financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Paul Vassilakos, CEO of Eightco and President of Forever 8 Fund, LLC (“Forever 8”), the Company’s largest subsidiary, said “The Company continues to focus on prioritizing the Forever 8 business in providing inventory capital for e-commerce sellers and refurbished apple product sellers. The Company has made significant progress in the first half of 2024 improving its financial condition, most notably through the elimination of $5.4 million in convertible notes and thus increasing shareholder equity.”

Financial Highlights and Commentary

During the first half of 2024, Eightco took significant steps to resolve legacy issues and strengthen its balance sheet. More specifically, the Company has improved shareholder equity through the following:

  • Cancellation of $7.4 million of liabilities
  • Cancellation of $15.6 million of additional liabilities to the former members of Forever 8:
    • Earnout consideration (fair value of $6.1 million)
    • $5.4 million in promissory notes
    • $3.0 million in interest obligations
    • $1.1 million of interest obligations converted into 1.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock

The Company also repaid convertible notes which resulted in the elimination of an aggregate of 5,846,627 dilutive shares related to warrants and convertible securities that were cancelled in connection therewith, as well as several one-time accounting events.

Repayment of the convertible note reduced the Company’s capital base by $5.4 million which resulted in a decrease in top line revenues as compared to the prior year quarter. The focus on Forever 8 operations also allowed for a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses.

  • Second quarter 2024 net income of $4.4 million versus a net loss of ($8.9) million in the prior year quarter
  • Second quarter 2024 revenues of $7.0 million versus $20.5 million in the prior year quarter, driven by reduction in capital available for cell phone sales after repayment of the convertible note
  • Second quarter 2024 gross profit of $1.8 million versus $2.5 million in the prior year quarter
  • Second quarter 2024 gross profit margin of 25.3%, versus 12.3% in the prior year quarter
  • Second quarter 2024 SG&A of $3.5 million, down 26.6% from $4.7 million in the prior year quarter
  • Second quarter 2024 EBITDA of $6.4 million compared to a loss of ($5.5) million in the prior year quarter
  • Second quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of a loss of ($0.8) million, from a loss of ($1.9) million in the prior year quarter

Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP performance measures. Management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to operating profit, net (loss) income and other GAAP measures, are useful to investors to evaluate the Company’s results because they exclude certain items that are not directly related to the Company’s core operating performance. Investors should recognize that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release are included in the table above. Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are not accessible, and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, we have not provided reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP measures. Items excluded to arrive at forward-looking non-GAAP measures may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.

A reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in accordance with SEC Regulation G as above.
