(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Strong Cost Controls and Project Concord Aiding Performance

Company Well Positioned to Capitalize on Industry Dislocation

GARDEN CITY, N.Y., Nov. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lifetime Brands, Inc. (NasdaqGS: LCUT), a leading global designer, developer and marketer of a broad range of branded consumer products used in the home, today reported its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Rob Kay, Lifetime's Chief Executive Officer, commented,“While the current tariff environment has created near-term volatility, Lifetime has navigated challenges like this before, and our actions are positioning us to emerge stronger. With a fully implemented tariff-mitigation strategy, disciplined cost management, and the benefits of Project Concord, we've demonstrated our ability to adapt and execute. Periods of disruption often create opportunity, and we are seeing that play out today. Many in our industry are under pressure, and we are in the right position: financially, operationally, and strategically to capitalize on those dynamics. We continue to evaluate M&A opportunities that could further strengthen our market share and long-term competitive positioning. As the broader market stabilizes, we expect the progress we've made this year to translate into stronger performance, greater resilience, and renewed growth momentum ahead.”

Third Quarter Financial Results:

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $171.9 million, representing a decrease of $11.9 million, or 6.5%, as compared to net sales of $183.8 million for the corresponding period in 2024. In constant currency, a non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations and was determined by applying 2025 average rates to 2024 local currency amounts, consolidated net sales decreased by $12.5 million, or 6.8%, as compared to consolidated net sales in the corresponding period in 2024. A table reconciling this non-GAAP financial measure to consolidated net sales, as reported, is included below.

Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $60.4 million, or 35.1%, as compared to $67.4 million, or 36.7%, for the corresponding period in 2024.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $35.5 million, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 8.5%, as compared to $38.8 million for the corresponding period in 2024.

Income from operations was $6.7 million, as compared to income from operations of $8.6 million for the corresponding period in 2024.

Adjusted income from operations⁽¹⁾ was $11.5 million, as compared to $13.2 million for the corresponding period in 2024.

Net loss was $(1.2) million, or $(0.05) per diluted share, as compared to net income of $0.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the corresponding period in 2024.

Adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ was $2.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, as compared to $4.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the corresponding period in 2024.

Nine Months Financial Results:

Consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $443.9 million, a decrease of $23.8 million, or 5.1%, as compared to net sales of $467.7 million for the corresponding period in 2024. In constant currency, a non-GAAP financial measure, which excludes the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations and was determined by applying 2025 average rates to 2024 local currency amounts, consolidated net sales decreased by $24.9 million, or 5.3%, as compared to consolidated net sales in the corresponding period in 2024. A table reconciling this non-GAAP financial measure to consolidated net sales, as reported, is included below.

Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $161.9 million, or 36.5%, as compared to $179.5 million, or 38.4%, for the corresponding period in 2024.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $104.5 million, a decrease of $12.1 million, or 10.4%, as compared to $116.6 million for the corresponding period in 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the current period includes a net legal settlement gain of $6.4 million.

Loss from operations was $(29.4) million, as compared to income from operations of $11.6 million for the corresponding period in 2024. Loss from operations for the current period includes a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $33.2 million related to the U.S. segment. The charge was recognized following the completion of an interim goodwill impairment test performed during the second quarter of 2025. Subsequent to this impairment, the Company's goodwill balance is zero and therefore we expect in the future a more consistent alignment between GAAP accounting earnings and non-GAAP adjusted earnings.

Adjusted income from operations⁽¹⁾ was $11.5 million, as compared to $24.5 million for the corresponding period in 2024.

Net loss was $(45.1) million, or $(2.08) per diluted share, as compared to net loss of $(24.1) million, or $(1.12) per diluted share, in the corresponding period in 2024. Net loss for the current period includes a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $33.2 million. Net loss for the prior period includes a non-cash charge of $14.2 million due to the Company's loss of significant influence in its equity investment in Grupo Vasconia.

Adjusted net loss⁽¹⁾ was $(5.4) million, or $(0.25) per diluted share, as compared to adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ of $0.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the corresponding period in 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾was $47.2 million for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2025.

Liquidity as of September 30, 2025 was $50.9 million, consisting of $12.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, $25.2 million of availability under the ABL Agreement, limited by the Term Loan financial covenant, and $13.6 million of available funding under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

Outlook

Given ongoing uncertainty surrounding tariffs and related trade dynamics, the Company will continue to refrain from issuing formal financial guidance for 2025. Nonetheless, management believes Project Concord is advancing as planned, positioning the International segment for enhanced efficiency, stronger margins, and improved long-term performance.

Dividend

On November 4, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.0425 per share of common stock payable on February 13, 2026 to stockholders of record on January 30, 2026.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as indicators of business performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP financial measures of performance.

Adjusted diluted income (loss) per common share(4)	$	0.11			$	0.21			$	(0.25	)		$	0.03

⁽¹⁾ For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, warehouse redesign expenses were related to the U.S. segment.

⁽²⁾ The income tax provision adjustment is calculated using the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of 0.0% applied to the goodwill impairment adjustment. The income tax provision adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 provides important comparative analysis because the effective tax method was unusual due to timing of certain non-deductible expenses, including goodwill impairment.

⁽³⁾ Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted income per common share in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 excludes acquisition intangible amortization expense, a legal settlement gain, net, acquisition related expenses, warehouse redesign expenses, severance expense, mark to market loss on interest rate derivatives, and goodwill impairment. The income tax effect on adjustments reflects the statutory tax rates applied on the adjustments and the income tax provision adjustment.

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted income per common share in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 excludes acquisition intangible amortization expense, acquisition related expenses, warehouse redesign expenses, mark to market loss on interest rate derivatives, and loss on equity securities. The income tax effect on adjustments reflects the statutory tax rates applied on the adjustments.

⁽⁴⁾ Adjusted diluted income (loss) per common share is calculated based on diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of 21,834 and 21,610 for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Adjusted diluted income (loss) per common share is calculated based on diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of 21,683 and 21,643 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 include the effect of dilutive securities of 66 and zero, respectively. The diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 included the effect of dilutive securities of 48 and 189, respectively.
