Third Quarter Fiscal 2023 Results

For the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company reported revenue of $53.7 million, a 7.5% increase over the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Excluding the negative impact of foreign currency fluctuations, third quarter revenue was up 10.4%. Revenue in the Americas region for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 18.2%, including a 19.5% increase in the United States. Revenue in the Asia/Pacific & Europe region decreased 14.2% and was negatively impacted by foreign currency fluctuations. On a constant currency basis, revenue in Asia/Pacific & Europe decreased approximately 5.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $43.1 million, or 80.2% of revenue, compared to $40.3 million, or 80.7% of revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2022. The decline in gross profit margin was primarily driven by elevated shipping expenses as well as shifts in geographic and product sales mix during the quarter.

Commissions and incentives expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $23.8 million, or 44.3% of revenue, compared to $23.2 million, or 46.4% of revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2022. The decrease in commissions and incentives expense as a percentage of revenue was due to price increases across the product portfolio as well as impacts related to the timing and magnitude of promotional and incentive programs.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $17.7 million, or 33.0% of revenue, compared to $15.3 million, or 30.6% of revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2022. Adjusted for nonrecurring expenses, which are detailed in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables included at the end of this press release, adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 were $17.7 million, or 32.9% of revenue, compared to adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 of $14.7 million, or 29.3% of revenue. The increase in adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expense was a result of increased event and travel expenses, higher employee compensation as well as increases in outside professional services related to initiatives that launched in March 2023. These increased expenses were partially offset by decreases in legal, accounting, and tax service expenses.

Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $1.6 million compared to $1.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Accounting for non-GAAP adjustments noted previously, adjusted non-GAAP operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $1.6 million compared to adjusted non-GAAP operating income of $2.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $1.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, which compares to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Accounting for non-GAAP adjustments noted previously, net of tax, adjusted non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $1.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to adjusted non-GAAP income of $1.6 million, or $0.12 per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA was $3.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, versus $3.4 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2022.

Balance Sheet & Liquidity

The Company generated $3.1 million of cash from operations during the first nine months of fiscal 2023 compared to $5.2 million in the same period in fiscal 2022. Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2023 were $19.5 million, compared to $20.2 million at June 30, 2022, and there was no debt outstanding.

Dividend Announcement

Today the Company announced the declaration of a cash dividend of $0.035 per common share. The dividend will be paid on June 15, 2023 to all stockholders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2023. This represents an increase in the dividend amount by 16.7% over previous quarters.

Fiscal Year 2023 Guidance

The Company expects to generate revenue in the range of $209 million to $212 million in fiscal year 2023 and adjusted EBITDA of $11 million to $13 million, with adjusted earnings per share in the range of $0.20 to $0.26, which assumes a full year tax rate of approximately 37%. This guidance reflects the current trends in the business. The Company’s guidance for adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA and adjusted non-GAAP earnings per diluted share excludes any non-operating or non-recurring expenses that may materialize during fiscal 2023. The Company is not providing guidance for GAAP earnings per diluted share for fiscal 2023 due to the potential occurrence of one or more non-operating, one-time expenses, which the Company does not believe it can reliably predict.

The declaration and/or payment of a dividend during any quarter provides no assurance as to future dividends, and the timing and amount of future dividends, if any, could vary significantly in comparison both to past dividends and to current expectations. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding executing against and the benefits of our key initiatives, future growth, including geographic and product expansion, the impact of COVID-19 on our business, expected financial performance, and expected dividend payments in future quarters. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those contained in such statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future events affecting the Company and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual results or outcomes to be materially different from those anticipated and discussed herein.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We define Non-GAAP EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, other income, net, and certain other adjustments. Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We define Non-GAAP Net Income as GAAP net income less certain tax adjusted non-recurring one-time expenses incurred during the period and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share as Non-GAAP Net Income divided by weighted-average shares outstanding.

We are presenting Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share because management believes that they provide additional ways to view our operations when considered with both our GAAP results and the reconciliation to net income, which we believe provides a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share are presented solely as supplemental disclosure because: (i) we believe these measures are a useful tool for investors to assess the operating performance of the business without the effect of these items; (ii) we believe that investors will find this data useful in assessing shareholder value; and (iii) we use Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share internally as benchmarks to evaluate our operating performance or compare our performance to that of our competitors. The use of Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share has limitations and you should not consider these measures in isolation from or as an alternative to the relevant GAAP measure of net income prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.

The tables set forth below present reconciliations of Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures to Net Income and Earnings per Share, our most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
