Superior Group of Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGC) (the
“Company”), today announced its first quarter
2023 results.
First Quarter Results
For the first quarter of 2023, net sales
of $130.8 million compared to first quarter
2022 net sales of $143.6 million. Net
income of $0.9 million or $0.06 per diluted
share compared to $5.2 million or $0.32 per diluted
share, respectively, in the first quarter of 2022.
“We’ve kicked off 2023 as expected with our
Contact Centers segment continuing strong sales growth above 20%
while soft economic conditions restrained growth at our Healthcare
Apparel and Branded Products segments. During the quarter, we
delivered on our commitment to drive significant free cash flow,
lower working capital and reduce our net leverage position. As a
result, SGC is in an attractive position to generate improved
growth and profitability during the second half of the year as we
indicated last quarter,” said Michael Benstock, Chief Executive
Officer. “Today, we are reaffirming our full-year outlook, and as
we wait for macro conditions to turn more favorable, our team
remains focused on winning in the marketplace every day while
optimizing our longer-term strategy to capitalize on the large and
attractive end markets we serve. I also am pleased that our Board
recently approved another quarterly dividend, reflecting our
confidence in our continued solid performance during subdued
economic times, and am excited about the many opportunities ahead
of us to drive long-term shareholder value.”
Second Quarter 2023 Dividend
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly
dividend of $0.14 per share, payable June 2, 2023, to
shareholders of record as of May 19, 2023.
2023 Full-Year Outlook
For full-year 2023, the Company continues to
forecast sales to be $585 million to $595 million compared $579
million in 2022, and earnings per share to be $0.92 to $0.97
compared to $0.62 of adjusted earnings per share in 2022.

(1) EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial
measure, is defined as net income excluding interest expense,
income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense. The
Company believes EBITDA is an important measure of operating
performance because it allows management, investors and others to
evaluate and compare the Company’s core operating results from
period to period by removing (i) the impact of the Company’s
capital structure (interest expense from outstanding debt), (ii)
tax consequences and (iii) asset base (depreciation and
amortization). The Company uses EBITDA internally to monitor
operating results and to evaluate the performance of its business.
In addition, the compensation committee has used EBITDA in
evaluating certain components of executive compensation, including
performance-based annual incentive programs. EBITDA is not a
measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be
considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash
flows from operating activities or any other measure determined in
accordance with GAAP. The items excluded to calculate EBITDA are
significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s
results of operations. The presentation of the Company’s EBITDA may
change from time to time, including as a result of changed business
conditions, new accounting pronouncements or otherwise. If the
presentation changes, the Company undertakes to disclose any change
between periods and the reasons underlying that change. The
Company’s EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled
measure of another company because other entities may not calculate
EBITDA in the same manner.
