Lifetime Brands, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Declares Regular Quarterly Dividend
GARDEN CITY, NY, November 7, 2024 – Lifetime Brands, Inc. (NasdaqGS: LCUT), a leading global designer, developer and marketer of a broad range of branded consumer products, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Rob Kay, Lifetime’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “While we are disappointed that our third quarter results did not meet our internal projections due to soft demand in end markets combined with delayed shipments to retailers, we have maintained market share position and saw year over year growth in our International segment which is starting to benefit from our restructuring actions. In addition, we maintained a healthy gross margin above 36% for seven consecutive quarters. As a result of our lower than projected third quarter results, largely due to near quarter-end notification from our retail channel of delayed shipments shifting product deliveries by one to two quarters, we have modified our guidance for the full year. The largest component in our revised full year expectations includes softness in point of sale activity in the mass channel and a delay of several major programs, most notably the next phase of the Dolly Parton program to first quarter of 2025, a $4 million impact to our 2024 sales forecast.”
Mr. Kay concluded, “The foundation of the Company is solid – supported by a strong balance sheet. It’s important to note, while we have been broad with our initiatives and strategies for growth, we maintain a prudent operational approach to our business, which demands that we hold true to our fundamentals. As operators, we are constantly thinking about our long-term trajectory, and should a potential initiative not benefit Lifetime, we will not move forward with it. To this point, we have engaged with an array of transaction opportunities that, after completion of due diligence, would not have been in the best interest of our shareholders. As we look to the end of the year, we remain excited about the opportunities in front of us and hope to be able to share more specific strategies to support future growth objectives in the near future.”
