Fort Lauderdale, FL, Feb. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Singing Machine Company, Inc. (“Singing Machine” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: MICS) – the worldwide leader in consumer karaoke products – today announced its third quarter financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2022.
Third Quarter Highlights:
- Net sales for the quarter of $7.1 million; fiscal year-to-date revenue of $35.9 million.
- Gross profit for the quarter of $1.3 million.
- Income from Operations of approximately ($2.3) million.
- Total assets of $24.1 million as of December 31, 2022.
- Cash on hand of $2.8 million as of December 31, 2022.
- Net loss for the quarter of $(1.9) million; fiscal year-to-date net loss of approximately ($1.6) million.
Management Commentary:
Gary Atkinson, Singing Machine CEO, commented, “Despite our wholesale sell-in numbers for this quarter, consumer demand for consumer karaoke remained very strong. The real challenge to this quarter was timing and getting our products into retail. Last calendar year, our traditional sales cycle was disrupted by the lingering effects of supply chain disruptions. There was a build-up of retail inventory on the shelves at the end of the first quarter of calendar 2021, which slowly started to make the major retailers gradually more cautious about inventory throughout the rest of the year.”
Atkinson continued, “As a result, we did not get the opportunity to sell-in to many of our retail customers with our typical holiday bulk replenishment. Simply put, our retail customers were backfilling the demand with the lingering inventory from last year, or in many cases, opting to lose sales with empty shelves. Despite our customers decisions to lower exposure to inventory due to elevated risk factors associated with the overall economy in the back of the year, we saw steady demand for our products, and we believe that reflects well on our brand and our technology. Moving forward, we expect more of a return to normal for this coming season.”
