Revenues were $91.1 million, as compared with $69.7 million, an increase of 30.7% over the prior year period
Adjusted EBITDA¹ was $9.2 million, as compared with $10.3 million in the prior year period
Net income was $1.6 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were $0.49 per diluted share, as compared with $15.4 million and diluted EPS of $4.84 per diluted share in the prior year period.

“For the second quarter, we delivered revenue of $91.1 million, net income of $1.6 million, and adjusted EBITDA of $9.2 million. We were able to report these results despite a tough market environment characterized by rising interest rates, inflation, and weakening consumer demand. These results reflect our commitment to disciplined execution, strategic investments, operational excellence, and capital allocation, which have positioned us well for continued success,” commented David Verret, Chief Financial Officer of Live Ventures.

 

“With the Flooring Liquidators acquisition, we continue to execute our multi-lever ‘buy-build-hold’ strategic plan while also investing in our existing businesses,” stated Jon Isaac, President and CEO of Live Ventures. “We remain committed to creating long-term value for our stockholders. To achieve this, we focus on strategic, well-planned acquisitions and investments aligning with our growth objectives and generating sustainable returns. We believe our financial strength and strategic focus position us well to weather near-term headwinds and emerge as a stronger, more resilient company in the long run.”

Second quarter FY 2023 revenues of $91.1 million increased 30.7%. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisitions of Flooring Liquidators and The Kinetic Co., Inc. (“Kinetic”), partially offset by decreased revenues in the other businesses. The decrease in revenues is primarily due to reduced demand.

.

Operating income decreased to $5.0 million for the second quarter of FY 2023, as compared to $8.4 million in the prior year period. The decrease in operating income is attributable to lower gross profit margins as a result of cost increases, increased general and administrative expenses due to the acquisitions of Flooring Liquidators and Kinetic as well as one-time acquisition-related costs.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net income was $1.6 million and diluted EPS was $0.49 per diluted share, as compared with net income of $15.4 million and diluted EPS was $4.84 per diluted share in the prior year period. The decrease in net income is attributable to lower operating income and increased interest expense, which is primarily related to the incremental debt incurred in the Flooring Liquidators and Kinetic acquisitions. In addition, the prior year’s net income included a benefit of approximately $11.4 million or $3.58 per diluted share for a gain on bankruptcy settlement.

 

Second quarter FY 2023 adjusted EBITDA of $9.2 million decreased approximately $1.1 million, or 10.4%, as compared to the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to decreases in gross profit and operating income, as discussed above.

 

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had total cash availability of $25.9 million, consisting of cash on hand of $4.2 million and cash availability under its various lines of credit of $21.7 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

Adjusted EBITDA

We evaluate the performance of our operations based on financial measures, such as revenues and “Adjusted EBITDA.” Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and other non-cash or nonrecurring charges. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of the business, including the business’s ability to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures and to service its debt. Additionally, this measure is used by management to evaluate operating results and perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also a measure that is customarily used by financial analysts to evaluate a company’s financial performance, subject to certain adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent cash flows from operations, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss, and is indicative neither of our results of operations, nor of cash flow available to fund our cash needs. It is, however, a measurement that the Company believes is useful to investors in analyzing its operating performance. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, net income, cash flow provided by operating activities, and other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. As companies often define non-GAAP financial measures differently, Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by Live Ventures Incorporated should not be compared to any similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
