FitLife Brands Announces Third Quarter 2022 Results
Omaha, Nov. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FitLife Brands Announces Third Quarter 2022 Results
OMAHA, NE – November 10, 2022 -- FitLife Brands, Inc. (“FitLife” or the “Company”) (OTC: FTLF), an international provider of innovative and proprietary nutritional supplements for health-conscious consumers marketed under the brand names NDS Nutrition, PMD, SirenLabs, Nutrology, CoreActive, Metis Nutrition, iSatori, Energize, and BioGenetic Laboratories, today announced results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Highlights for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 include:
- Total revenue increased 24% to $8.3 million.
- Online revenue increased 28% to $2.2 million and accounted for 26% of total revenue.
- Wholesale revenue increased 23% to $6.1 million and accounted for 74% of total revenue.
- Gross profit increased 10% to $3.2 million.
- The Company generated net income of $1.2 million compared to $1.1 million during the same quarter last year.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased to $1.9 million compared to $1.7 million during the third quarter of 2021.
- The Company generated $2.6 million of cash in the third quarter of 2022, resulting in a quarter-end cash balance of $14.9 million.
For the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, total revenue was $8.3 million compared to $6.7 million in the same quarter last year, an increase of 24%. The increase reflects increased demand from both wholesale and online channels.
Management expects the Company’s wholesale revenue trends to remain lumpy based on the ordering patterns of our customers. As a result, we encourage investors to evaluate revenue trends for the wholesale channel over periods of two or more quarters. Growth in consumer purchases of the Company’s products in the wholesale channel, which tends to be a more stable indicator of demand, was positive during the third quarter, and remains positive thus far in the fourth quarter.
After growing approximately 21% year-over-year during the first and second quarters of 2022, online revenue increased 28% during the third quarter. Online revenue growth has remained strong thus far during the fourth quarter, with a 31% growth rate during the month of October.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased 10% to $3.4 million. Gross margin decreased to 39.0% compared to 43.9% during the same period last year. The reduction in the gross margin percentage for the quarter is primarily attributable to higher product costs. We expect the recent margin pressure will be temporary as production costs decline and as higher-margin online sales become a larger percentage of the Company’s total revenue.
Net income for the third quarter of 2022 was $1.2 million compared to $1.1 million during the same quarter in 2021. Basic earnings per share was $0.27 and diluted earnings per share was $0.24, compared to $0.25 and $0.23 during the same quarter in 2021, respectively.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, adjusted EBITDA, was $1.9 million compared to $1.7 million in the same period last year. Please see the non-GAAP financial measures table below for a reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA.
For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2022, total revenue was $23.4 million, an increase of 13% over the comparable period in 2021, with wholesale revenue increasing 10% and online revenue increasing 24%. Gross profit increased 5% to $9.8 million, and the gross margin decreased to 42.0% compared to 45.5% last year.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net income decreased 5% to $4.0 million from $4.2 million, primarily due to the forgiveness of the Company’s PPP loan during 2021. Basic earnings per share for the same time period was $0.87 compared to $0.95 last year, and diluted earnings per share decreased to $0.79 from $0.87 last year.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, adjusted EBITDA was $5.8 million compared to $5.3 million in the same period last year. Please see the non-GAAP financial measures table below for a reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA.
Dayton Judd, the Company’s Chairman and CEO, commented, “Despite a somewhat challenging operating environment, I am encouraged by the continued growth in our wholesale and online businesses. We continue to actively pursue opportunities to deploy our strong and growing cash balance into accretive acquisitions.”
