Upexi Reports Fiscal Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

TAMPA, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 14, 2024 / Upexi, Inc. (NASDAQ:UPXI) (the "Company" or "Upexi"), a multi-faceted Amazon and Direct to Consumer brand owner and innovator in aggregation, today reported its financial results for the fiscal second quarter 2024 ending December 31, 2023.

"During the quarter we continued to focus on optimizing and streamlining our operations, investing in our higher margin Brand Products and generating positive Adjusted EBITDA. While revenue for the most recent fiscal second quarter decreased sequentially, the operating measures we took allowed us to increase gross profit margins to 38%, as compared to the prior fiscal first quarter of 31.8%. We also generated positive Adjusted EBITDA although revenue quarter-over-quarter was down. The revenue decrease sequentially was predominately related to the calculated decision to reduce risk of purchasing excess inventory in our re-commerce business. This business is carefully managed quarter-over-quarter based on opportunities that we determine are low risk and will yield us higher than normal margins for that business. We invested in our Brand Products, which increased revenue sequentially 16.7%." Allan Marshall, CEO of Upexi continued, "We see further improvement to margins in the near term as we finalize the consolidation of our manufacturing facilities, which is expected to yield approximately $2 million in general and administrative expense reductions annually beginning at the end of April of this year. We remain committed to further expanding and enhancing our Brand Products and Re-commerce segments, capitalizing on new growth opportunities and delivering sustainable value."

Financial Highlights for the Fiscal Second Quarter 2024 Ended December 31, 2023

Revenue for the fiscal second quarter 2024 totaled $21.8 million as compared to $26.7 million for the same period the prior year and $27.3 million for the fiscal first quarter 2024. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to lower re-commerce revenue through both Amazon channels and wholesale. During the quarter, there were certain wholesale transactions not completed as a decision from management that resulted in higher inventory and lower sales. Brand Product sales during the quarter increased 16.7% sequentially to $7.7 million as compared to $6.6 million led by the health and beauty product categories. Management will continue to focus on the development and growth of the high gross margin Brand Product sales.

Cost of revenue for the fiscal second quarter 2024 totaled $13.6 million, a decrease as compared to $16.7 million for the same period the prior year and $18.6 million for the fiscal first quarter 2024. The cost of revenue decrease was primarily related to a decrease in re-commerce sales discussed above.

Gross profit margin for the fiscal second quarter of 2024 and 2023 was approximately 38% during both periods. Gross profit margin during the quarter increased sequentially to 38% as compared to 31.8%.

Sales and marketing expenses for the fiscal second quarter 2024 decreased 18% compared with the same period in the prior year. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses was primarily related to Management's efforts to refine sales strategies to focus on long-term recurring sales growth through subscription revenue and sales channel expansion. Management will continue to manage its sales and marketing budget strategically for direct-to-consumer sales channels as the Company capitalizes on an opportunity to take advantage of lower costs to estimated lifetime value of the customer. Management believes that this strategy will yield significant returns in the next 12 months. Management anticipates its advertising expenses will be reduced over time as a percentage of sales in the following quarters, which will increase overall profitability.

General and administrative expenses for the fiscal second quarter 2024 totaled $2.3 million, a decrease of 9%, as compared to $2.5 million for the same period the prior year. Management has managed its general and administrative costs and will continue to implement strategies to decrease the percentage of general and administrative costs when compared to total sales.

Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $29 thousand as compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $557 thousand for the same period the prior year and $750 thousand for the fiscal first quarter 2024.

The Company had a net loss from continued operations for the fiscal second quarter 2024 of $2.4 million as compared to net income of $2.7 million for the same period the prior year and a net loss of $1.4 million in the fiscal first quarter 2024.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $1.8 million and total stockholders' equity attributed to Upexi stockholders of approximately $25.5 million.

As of February 14, 2024, there are 20,889,384 shares of common stock outstanding.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company discloses and uses the above-mentioned non-GAAP financial measures internally as a supplement to GAAP financial information to evaluate its operating performance, for financial planning purposes, to establish operational goals, for compensation plans, to measure debt service capability, for capital expenditure planning and to determine working capital needs and believes that these are useful financial measures also used by investors. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is defined as GAAP net income or net loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) adjusted for the non-cash stock compensation and stock option expense, acquisition, integration & restructuring expenses, charges and gains or losses from extinguishment of debt and other non-cash items. Non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA are not terms defined by GAAP and, as a result, the Company's measure of non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures discussed above, however, should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to net income or net loss as reported for GAAP on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, cash and cash flows on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and as reflected on the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for or presented in lieu of financial measures provided by GAAP and all measures and disclosures of financial information pursuant to GAAP should be read to obtain a comprehensive and thorough understanding of the Company's financial results. The reconciliations of non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA to GAAP operating income (loss) and/or GAAP net income (net loss) referred to in the highlights or elsewhere are provided in the schedules that are a part of this document.
