PARK CITY, Utah, July 31, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Skullcandy, Inc. (Nasdaq:SKUL) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

  • Gross margin: 45.0% vs. 44.9%
  • Selling, general and administrative expense: $22.9 million vs. $24.0 million
  • Net income (loss) per diluted share: $0.06 vs. $(0.02)

"We continue to excite our consumer through great new products combined with our authentic brand born from innovation, creativity, music, and sports. The successful actions the team has taken toward achieving our key objectives resulted in solid full priced selling and second quarter profitability that exceeded expectations," commented Hoby Darling, President and Chief Executive Officer. "While we delivered a solid second quarter performance, I am even more excited for the back half of the year when we launch our ultra-secure Sports Performance line with Sticky Gel technology and bring to the market some of the most bombproof and fun wireless products on the market. Most importantly, the investments we are making in our team, culture, demand creation, and innovation, are positioning Skullcandy for long-term growth and sustained leadership."

Net sales in the second quarter of 2014 increased 6.0% to $53.9 million from $50.8 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Domestic (U.S.) net sales increased 6.0% to $39.5 million from $37.2 million in the same quarter of the prior year. International (Non U.S.) net sales increased 6.1% to $14.4 million from $13.6 million in the same quarter of the prior year primarily due to increased sales in Canada, and to a lesser extent Mexico and China.

Gross profit in the second quarter of 2014 increased 6.3% to $24.2 million from $22.8 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Gross margin was 45.0% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to 44.9% in the same quarter.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the second quarter of 2014 decreased 4.3% to $22.9 million from $24.0 million in the same quarter of the prior year. The decrease in SG&A expenses is primarily due personnel expenses, licensing royalties and co-op expenses. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 42.6% compared to 47.2% in the same quarter of the prior year.

Net income attributable to the Company in the second quarter of 2014 was $1.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, based on 28.5 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Net loss attributable to the Company in the same quarter of the prior year was $(0.6) million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, based on 27.7 million diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of June 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $44.1 million compared to $38.8 million as of December 31, 2013. The Company continued to have no outstanding debt. Accounts receivable decreased 24% to $43.8 million as of June 30, 2014 from $57.5 million as of December 31, 2013, which is consistent with the seasonality of our business. Inventory increased 26% to $50.8 million as of June 30, 2014 from $40.3 million as of December 31, 2013, in order to prepare for the back-to-school and holiday seasons.

2014 Full Year and Third Quarter Financial Outlook

For the third quarter of 2014, the Company currently forecasts net sales to increase between 7% to 9% over 2013 levels and net income on a GAAP fully-diluted per share basis of $0.02 to $0.05.
