Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

FORT WORTH, Texas, Dec. 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tandy Leather Factory, Inc. (OTC: TLFA) today announced that it has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2021.

The Company’s second quarter sales were $18.6 million in 2021, up from $9.1 million in 2020. Operating expenses were $10.6 million compared to $7.6 million in 2020, primarily reflecting the return to work of employees who were furloughed in 2020 during the COVID-19 shutdown.   Net income for the quarter was $0.5 million compared to a net loss of $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2020. As of June 30, 2021, the Company held $5.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, versus $10.3 million at December 31, 2020. The Company generated net income in the quarter of $0.06 per diluted share, versus net losses of $0.20 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2020 and $0.10 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2019.

The Company also announced certain preliminary financial information for its third quarter ended September 30, 2021.  Sales for the third quarter of 2021 are expected to be approximately $19.0 million, an increase of about 19% compared to the third quarter of 2020. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $0.4 million of debt and $6.0 million of cash and cash equivalents.   The Company continues to work diligently on completing its quarterly report for the third quarter of 2021.

Janet Carr, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, “With the filing of our Form 10-Q for the second quarter, we are nearly current in our public financial reporting. We are working to achieve this by filing our Form 10-Q for the third quarter 2021 as soon as possible.”

Ms. Carr continued, “Our second and third quarter results reflect continued healthy consumer demand across our businesses. In addition to the strong rebound from 2020 (when our retail stores were largely closed by COVID-19 in Q2 and still significantly impacted in Q3), our second and third quarter sales also represented an 8% increase (in Q2) and a 17% increase (in Q3) from 2019 levels. Despite COVID-19’s ongoing effect on both our work force and supply chain, we have continued to make significant progress on our consumer-facing initiatives, improving the quality, assortment and value of our product offering, investing in product knowledge, service and leathercrafting training for our sales associates, and continuing big leaps forward in ecommerce and digital marketing.”

Once the Company is current in its financial reporting, it intends to apply for relisting on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
