Singing Machine Announces First Quarter 2019 Earnings Report

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Singing Machine Company, Inc.  (“Singing Machine” or the “Company”) (OTCQX:SMDM) – the North American leader in consumer karaoke products – today announced its financial results for its first quarter ended June 30, 2018.

First Quarter Snapshot:

  • Net sales of $1.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.
  • Gross margin of 21.3%.
  • Net loss of $1.0 million for the quarter.
  • Streaming music subscription sales increased 54% YoY.
  • Fees received from 3PL logistics services increased to $0.2 million for the quarter, an increase of 136% YoY.

Singing Machine reports net sales of approximately $1.8 million for the quarter-ended June 30, 2018 period. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to the bankruptcy of Toys ‘R’ Us which accounted for approximately $1.0 million in sales in the prior year same quarter. The Company also experienced a one-time unexpected factory closing during the first quarter which caused shipments of approximately $0.8 million to shift into the second quarter.  

Gross profit margin decreased by approximately 6.1% percent to 21.3% net sales compared to approximately 27.4% of net sales reported in the prior year. The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to a one-time expense related to moving products from one factory to new suppliers due to an unexpected supplier interruption.

Total operating expenses decreased to $1.7 million compared to $1.9 million in the prior year. The reduction in expenses was primarily due to a reduction in general and administrative expenses related to a decrease in bad debt reserve of approximately $0.14 million due to lower sales and accounts receivable.

As a result, the Company reported a net loss of $1.0 million compared to a net loss of $0.53 million in the prior year.

Management Commentary:

Gary Atkinson, Singing Machine CEO, commented, “Due to the bankruptcy and liquidation of Toys ‘R’ Us in March 2018, we experienced a first quarter slow down. We also experienced a disruption in our supply chain during the first quarter which caused a timing delay in shipments that were not able to be fulfilled in the first quarter. Those supply chain disruptions have since been resolved and those effected products are back in-stock. Despite the slow quarter and one-time market disruptions, we remain confident as the market leader in our category.  We believe the singing and music entertainment category is a growing market that is prime for international expansion.”
