“We are very pleased with our results for the second quarter.

*Reflects add back of costs incurred directly related to the mophie acquisition, net of tax, including: (1) $2.9 million in amortization from mophie acquired intangibles, (2) $0.3 million of transaction costs, (3) $2.2 million in cost of goods sold impact related to the fair value write-up of mophie inventory at acquisition, and (4) $1.3 million in mophie restructuring charges and mophie employee retention bonus. There is no impact on 2015 as all charges occurred during 2016.
Net sales for the second quarter grew 50% to $99.8 million compared to $66.7 million, primarily due to sales from mophie of $32.0 million, increased sales of screen protection products, and an increase in online sales. These increases were partially offset by declines in tablet keyboards and audio sales.
Gross profit was $30.9 million (31% of net sales), compared to $25.0 million, (37% of net sales). The decline in gross margin percentage was due primarily to the impact of lower mophie gross profit margins and the expense recorded through cost of sales related to the sale of acquired mophie inventory that was recorded at fair value through purchase accounting. These decreases were partially offset by improved ZAGG (excluding mophie) gross margin percentage, which increased to 39% compared to 37%.
The Company recorded a net loss for the quarter of $(1.0) million, compared to net income of $3.7 million, with loss per share of $(0.04) (on 28.1 million shares) compared to $0.12 (on 29.8 million shares). The decline in earnings was due primarily to the reduction in gross margin described above combined with expenses related to the acquisition of mophie, including amortization of acquired mophie intangibles of $2.9 million and restructuring charges of $1.1 million.

*Reflects add back of costs incurred directly related to the mophie acquisition, net of tax, including: (1) $3.7 million in amortization from mophie acquired intangibles, (2) $2.3 million of transaction costs, (3) $3.3 million in cost of goods sold impact related to the fair value write-up of mophie inventory at acquisition, and (4) $1.2 million in mophie restructuring charges and mophie employee retention bonus. There is no impact on 2015 as all charges occurred during 2016.
Net sales for the first six months increased 31% to $162.3 million compared to $123.9 million primarily due to sales from mophie of $39.7 million, increased sales of screen protection products, and an increase in online sales. Partially offsetting these gains were lower sales in tablet keyboards.
Gross profit improved in the first six months to $54.6 million (34% of net sales) compared to $47.9 million (39% of net sales). The decline in gross margin percentage was due primarily to the impact of lower mophie gross profit margins and the expense recorded through cost of sales related to the sale of acquired mophie inventory that was recorded at fair value through purchase accounting. These decreases were partially offset by improved ZAGG (excluding mophie) gross margin percentage, which increased to 40% compared to 39%.
Net loss for the first six months was $(4.3) million, compared to a net income of $6.9 million with loss per share of $(0.16) (on 27.9 million shares) compared to earnings per share of $0.23 (on 29.7 million shares).
2016 Business Outlook (reflecting 10 months of mophie contribution)
The Company maintains overall guidance, including maintaining the forecast for net sales and Adjusted EBITDA to be at the low end of the range due to a slower ramp up of mophie sales related to the post-closing supply chain constraints.
The Company’s annual guidance for 2016 is as follows:
- Net sales of $460 - $500 million
- Gross profit margin (as a % of net sales) in a range of low to mid 30’s
- Adjusted EBITDA of $60 - $65 million
- Annual effective tax rate of approximately 40%
Additional Non-GAAP Financial Information – Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss)
Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $10.6 million or 11% of net sales, compared to $10.3 million or 16% of net sales. Year-to-date, Adjusted EBITDA was $15.6 or 10% of net sales, compared to $19.6 million or 16% of net sales.
The Company incurred expenses and charges related to the acquisition of mophie, and has added an additional non-GAAP metric, Adjusted Net Income, which adjusts for the effect of transaction related expenses, amortization of mophie acquired intangibles, and the fair value write-up of mophie inventory related to the acquisition.
Adjusted Net Income for the second quarter was $3.1 million or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to $3.7 million or $0.12 per diluted share. Year-to-date Adjusted Net Income was $2.2 million or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to $6.9 million or $0.23 per diluted share.
About Non-GAAP Financial Information
Readers are cautioned that the Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, other income (expense), mophie transaction costs, mophie fair value inventory write-up related to acquisition, mophie restructuring charges, and mophie employee retention bonus) and Adjusted Net Income (earnings before mophie transaction costs, mophie fair value inventory write-up related to acquisition, amortization from mophie acquired intangibles, mophie restructuring charges, and mophie employee retention bonus – all net of tax) contained in this commentary are not financial measures under US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition, this financial information should not be construed as an alternative to any other measure of performance determined in accordance with GAAP, or as indicators of operating performance, liquidity or cash flows generated by operating, investing and financing activities, as there may be significant factors or trends that they fail to address. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income because we believe that they are helpful to some investors as a measure of performance. We caution readers that non-GAAP financial information, by its nature, departs from traditional accounting conventions. Accordingly, its use can make it difficult to compare current results with results from other reporting periods and with the financial results of other companies.
Conference Call
A conference call will be held today at 5:00 p.m. EST to review these results. Interested parties may access via the Internet on the Company's website at: investors.zagg.com.
