Positive
  • Improved gross profit margin to 26.7% from 11.8% YoY
  • Reduced net loss to $3.2M from $3.5M YoY
  • Maintained NASDAQ listing compliance
  • Raised $2.2M through ATM sales
Negative
  • Revenue declined 67% to $7.7M from $23.3M YoY
  • Increased SG&A expenses by 14.65% to $3.7M
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss widened to $0.9M from $0.1M YoY
  • Operating loss increased to $1.7M from $0.7M YoY

Insights

The Q3 2024 results reveal significant challenges. $7.7M revenue represents a 67% decline from $23.3M in Q3 2023, primarily due to reduced capital for cell phone sales following a $5.4M convertible note repayment. While gross margin improved to 26.7% from 11.8%, the net loss remained substantial at $3.2M.

The company's $100M revenue target for 2025 appears highly ambitious given current performance trends and capital constraints. The ATM equity raise of $2.2M at $3.52 per share provides some working capital but falls short of replacing the $5.4M note repayment. Rising SG&A expenses and deteriorating EBITDA metrics (-$1.0M vs -$13.7K) indicate operational inefficiencies despite cost-cutting efforts.

Easton, PA, Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OCTO) (the “Company” or “Eightco”) today announced financial results for the three months ended September 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 was pleased to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements at the end of September 2024, and believes it is now in a strong position to replace the capital used to repay the $5.4 million in convertible notes and deliver on its plan for 2025 revenues of $100 million.”

Financial Highlights and Commentary

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Eightco took significant steps to resolve certain deficiencies with its Nasdaq Listing, as well as raise equity capital at attractive levels:

  • As of September 30, 2024, the Company had sold 627,390 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $2,207,933 under its At-The-Market Issuance Sales Agreement (average price of $3.52 per share)As of November 14, 2024, there are 2,441,363 shares of common stock outstanding

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 the operations of Eightco’s Forever 8 subsidiary also allowed for a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses.

  • Third quarter 2024 net loss of ($3.2) million compared to net loss of ($3.5) million for the prior year quarter, due to better gross margins
  • Third quarter 2024 revenues of $7.7 million compared to $23.3 million in the prior year quarter, driven by reduction in capital available for cell phone sales after repayment of the previously outstanding convertible note
  • Third quarter 2024 gross profit of $2.0 million compared to $2.7 million in the prior year quarter, driven by reduction in capital available for cell phone sales after repayment of the previously outstanding convertible note
  • Third quarter 2024 gross profit margin of 26.7%, compared to 11.8% in the prior year quarter, due to a decrease in cell phone sales which typically have lower margins
  • Third quarter 2024 SG&A of $3.7 million, up 14.65% from $3.2 million in the prior year quarter, driven by an increase in professional expenses
  • Third quarter 2024 EBITDA loss of ($1.0) million compared to an EBITDA loss of ($0.0) million in the prior year quarter, driven by an increase in professional expenses and decrease in gross profit

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 is set forth above.
