FitLife Brands Announces Fiscal First Quarter 2017 Results


FitLife Brands, Inc. ("FitLife") (OTCBB: FTLF), an international provider of innovative and proprietary nutritional supplements for health conscious consumers marketed under the brand names NDS (News - Alert) Nutrition Products™ ("NDS") (www.ndsnutrition.com), PMD® (www.pmdsports.com), SirenLabs® (www.sirenlabs.com), CoreActive® (www.coreactivenutrition.com), Metis Nutrition™ (www.metisnutrition.com), iSatori™ (www.isatori.com), Energize (www.tryenergize.com), and BioGenetic Laboratories, (www.biogeneticlabs.com), today announced results for its fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Highlights for the quarter-ended March 31, 2017 include:

  • Total revenue decreased 29% to $5.6 million for the quarter.
  • Net loss for the quarter was $0.3 million or ($0.03) per share, versus a gain of $0.8 million or $0.07 per share.

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, total revenue was $5.6 million, a 29% decrease over reported revenue of $7.9 million last year. During the quarter, the Company incurred a one-time non-recurring adjustment to revenue of $700,000 related to a credit memorandum with our largest customer. Excluding the one-time charge, total revenue would have been $6.3 million for the first quarter of 2017. Core FitLife revenue for the quarter was $4.1 million versus $5.3 million a year ago. Excluding the revenue adjustment, core FitLife revenue would have been $4.8 million, a decline of 8% from the prior period. iSatori generated $1.5 million in revenue compared to $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2016. In addition to the non-recurring credit, core FitLife and iSatori's revenue declines were both primarily attributable to fewer new product introductions during the first quarter of 2017 as compared to the first quarter of 2016. On average we introduce approximately 8 to 10 new products every 6 months, but the timing of such product launches can vary from quarter to quarter.

Gross margin was 34.4% for the quarter compared to 45.9% in the same period a year ago. Excluding the revenue adjustment, gross margin would have been 46.9%. Operating expenses were 39.8% of revenue as reported and 35.4% excluding the revenue adjustment versus 34.3% last year.

First quarter net loss was $0.3 million or ($0.03) per share versus a gain of $0.8 million or $0.07 per share last year. Excluding the one-time revenue adjustment, net income would have been $0.4 million or $0.03 per share. The core FitLife business posted a net loss of $0.2 million relative to net income of $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2016. Absent the revenue adjustment, net income for the core FitLife business would have been $0.5 million. iSatori lost ($115,000) as a result of lower sales levels compared to a gain of $159,000 in the same period a year ago.

The Company ended the first quarter with $1.1 million in cash, down from $1.3 million at December 31, 2016. At quarter end, total debt decreased to $2.7 million from $2.9 million at the end of 2016.

"Facing a challenging retail environment, many of our customers are choosing to hold less inventory, which has led to some lumpiness in the year over year comparisons," said John S. Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of FitLife Brands. "We also absorbed a non-recurring credit from our largest customer of $700,000 in the quarter, which further reduced our revenue in the first quarter. In fact, without the one-time adjustment to revenue we incurred during the quarter, we would have generated positive net income, which we feel is a testament to our strong fundamentals and conservative management of the business. We continue with our efforts to streamline the business and reduced our expenses in the quarter by almost $500,000 and our cash position remains solid with cash flow from operations essentially breakeven."

Following the issuance of first quarter financial results, the company will provide recorded comments that can be accessed on the FitLife Brands' website under the "Investor Relations" section.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the following financial measures defined as "non-GAAP financial measures" by the Securities and Exchange Commission: non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
