FitLife Brands, Inc.: FitLife Brands Announces Second Quarter 2024 Results

Finanznachrichten News

Omaha, Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FitLife Brands, Inc. ("FitLife" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: FTLF), a provider of innovative and proprietary nutritional supplements and wellness products, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Highlights for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024 include:

  • Total revenue was $16.9 million, an increase of 15% compared to the second quarter of 2023.
  • Online sales were $11.2 million, representing 66% of total revenue and an increase of 13% compared to the second quarter of 2023.
  • Gross margin was 44.8% compared to 40.4% during the second quarter of 2023.
  • Net income was $2.6 million compared to $2.0 million during the second quarter of 2023.
  • Basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share were $0.57 and $0.53, respectively, compared to $0.44 and $0.40 during the second quarter of 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $3.8 million, a 29% increase compared to the second quarter of 2023.
  • The Company ended the quarter with $15.4 million outstanding on its term loans and cash of $3.7 million, or total net debt of $11.7 million.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, total revenue was $16.9 million, an increase of 15% compared to $14.8 million during the same period last year. Online revenue for the quarter was $11.2 million, an increase of 13% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Online revenue accounted for 66% and 67% of the Company's total revenue during the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Wholesale revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was $5.7 million, an increase of 18% compared to the same period last year. The Company's recent acquisitions of Mimi's Rock Corp ("MRC") and the MusclePharm assets contributed $1.5 million of wholesale revenue during the second quarter of 2024, while Legacy FitLife wholesale revenue was down $0.5 million, or 10%, compared to the same period last year.

Gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was 44.8% compared to 40.4% during the same period in the prior year. Excluding the impact of the inventory step-up resulting from the acquisition of MRC, gross margin during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 would have been 41.9%.

Net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $2.6 million compared to $2.0 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.57 and $0.53 respectively, compared to $0.44 and $0.40 during the second quarter of 2023. Net income during the second quarter of 2023 was adversely impacted by $0.1 million of merger and acquisition related costs as well as $0.2 from the amortization of the inventory step-up from the MRC acquisition.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was $3.8 million, an increase of 29% compared to the same period in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months, which includes four full quarters of MRC's financial performance but approximately only two and a half quarters of MusclePharm, was $12.4 million.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $15.4 million outstanding on its term loans and cash of $3.7 million, or total net debt of approximately $11.7 million. The Company's $3.5 million revolving line of credit remains undrawn.

Performance of Acquired Brands

Management frequently receives questions from investors regarding the performance of brands subsequent to their acquisition by the Company. In an effort to be responsive to these questions, the Company has provided additional disclosure in this press release and in the Management's Discussion and Analysis section of the Company's Form 10-Q filed with the SEC. The Company currently intends to provide this level of disclosure for no more than two years following a transaction, after which the performance of acquired brands will be reported as part of Legacy FitLife results.

One of the primary metrics used by management to evaluate the performance of the Company's brands is contribution, a non-GAAP financial measure which management defines as gross profit less advertising and marketing expenditures. Other companies may also report contribution as a performance metric, but their definition or calculation of contribution may differ from the Company's. Management believes that contribution, as defined by the Company, is a particularly relevant performance metric since it incorporates the gross profit associated with a specific brand or collection of brands as well as the advertising and marketing expenditures associated with the same brand or brands. With limited exceptions, other operating expenses incurred by the Company are generally not allocable to a specific brand or collection of brands.

Other than for MusclePharm, the numbers in the contribution tables presented below in the body of the press release represent the performance of a collection of brands. Legacy FitLife consists of nine brands and MRC consists of three brands. These collections of brands do not meet the definition of operating segments and are not managed as such.

For the second quarter of 2024, legacy FitLife revenue declined 5% compared to the same period last year, driven by a 10% decline in wholesale revenue partially offset by 7% increase in online revenue.

Despite the revenue decline, gross profit for legacy FitLife increased slightly and contribution decreased slightly compared to the same period last year. Gross margin increased from 42.0% during the second quarter of 2023 to 44.2% during the second quarter of 2024. Contribution as a percentage of revenue increased from 41.2% to 42.8% over the same time period.

The Company's wholesale revenue continues to be challenged by declining customer counts in the brick-and-mortar stores of our wholesale partners. However, at least some of the customers choosing to no longer shop in brick-and-mortar locations continue to purchase legacy FitLife products online, and when a customer buys online the Company earns substantially higher gross profit and contribution. More specifically, on a year-over-year basis during the second quarter of 2024, wholesale revenue for legacy FitLife declined by $0.5 million and online revenue increased by $0.2 million, yet gross profit and contribution were approximately unchanged compared to the same period last year.

For the second quarter of 2024, MRC revenue declined 2% compared to the same period in 2023. Over the same time period, gross profit increased 21% and contribution increased 61%.

For the second quarter of 2024, gross margin increased to 48.2% from 38.9% last year. Excluding the impact of the inventory step-up resulting from the acquisition of MRC, gross margin during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 would have been 41.7%.

Revenue for the largest MRC brand-Dr. Tobias-increased 4% while revenue for the skin care brands-Maritime Naturals and All Natural Advice-declined 37% in the second quarter of 2024.

At the time of the MRC acquisition in 2023, the skin care brands were sold in a number of countries. Analysis subsequent to the acquisition determined that-in almost all countries other than Canada and the US-the products were being sold at levels resulting in negative contribution. Even worse, in many of those countries, the products were being sold at negative gross margins.

To optimize performance of the skin care brands, management exited a number of countries and raised prices in other countries. As a result of these changes, a substantial amount of unprofitable revenue was eliminated.

The substantial year-over-year increase in gross profit for the MRC brands is primarily the result of this optimization of the skin care brands as well as beneficial product mix within the Dr. Tobias brand. The substantial year-over-year increase in contribution for the MRC brands is a function of the optimization of the skin care brands, beneficial product mix within the Dr. Tobias brand, as well as the optimization of advertising spend across all MRC brands.

MusclePharm revenue increased 27% sequentially from the first quarter of 2024 to the second quarter of 2024, with wholesale revenue increasing 24% and online revenue increasing 31%.

In an effort to drive revenue growth, the Company is making targeted investments in advertising and promotion in both the wholesale and online channels. As a result of these investments, gross margin and contribution as a percentage of revenue declined, although total gross profit and contribution in dollar terms increased sequentially.

In addition, the Company is exploring additional new product launches and continues to have productive discussions with a number of potential new wholesale partners.

Management Commentary

Dayton Judd, the Company's Chairman and CEO commented, "During the second quarter of 2024, the Company continued to see many bright spots in our business. At MRC, the Dr. Tobias brand-which represents approximately 90% of the MRC business-continued to grow despite significant year-over-year reductions in advertising and marketing spend. And although revenue for MRC's skin care brands has declined significantly due to our decision to exit unprofitable markets and raise prices in others, the brands are substantially more profitable. The MRC brands' collective contribution of approximately $8.9 million over the last twelve months compares very favorably to the $17.1 million acquisition price the Company paid for MRC.

"Although our legacy FitLife brands continue to face headwinds in the wholesale channel due to declining foot traffic at our brick-and-mortar retail partners, the transition of even a small portion of that lost wholesale revenue to the online channel means the Company's profitability is not diminished. Online revenue growth for the legacy FitLife brands thus far during the third quarter continues to be encouraging.

"With regard to MusclePharm, we are encouraged by the sequential growth the brand has experienced under our ownership and we intend to invest in advertising and promotion to drive continued growth.

"Overall, I am pleased with the strong performance of our brands, which would not be possible without the continued dedication of each FitLife team member. The Company's balance sheet is strong, with net debt now representing approximately only 0.9x adjusted EBITDA. Although no transaction is imminent, the Company is currently electing to build cash as it continues to evaluate M&A opportunities. As of August 13, 2024, the Company's cash balance was $4.4 million."
