SPY INC. REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER 2015
SPY Inc. Reports Net Sales of $9.1 million for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015
For Immediate Release: May 5, 2015
CARLSBAD, Calif.—SPY Inc. (OTCBB: XSPY) today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
First quarter sales were $9.1 million in 2015, a decrease of 0.7% or $0.1 million less than in the first quarter of 2014. The decrease in our net sales was primarily driven by lower sales of our sunglasses, partially offset by higher sales in our goggles and prescription frame product lines. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 54.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to 52.0% for the same period in 2014.
“I am quite happy with our results this first quarter, with only a slight dip in our sales trend despite the continued contraction of the action sports retail sector and the detrimental shift in global exchange rates,” said Michael Marckx, president and CEO. “In fact, excluding those areas impacted by the very negative exchange rate changes, our business would have once again enjoyed substantial growth in the first quarter. Despite these challenges we achieved an improved operating profit margin driven by stronger gross margins, which were made possible by the success of our newer premium products across all categories. We are very excited about the increases in our optical channel and the tremendous growth in the pre-orders for our snow business, which will have a very positive bearing on our second half results this year."
Mr. Marckx continued, “For the remainder of 2015, we will continue to focus on our growing e-Commerce business, expanding key accounts in the sporting goods and outdoor channels, as well as the new opportunities through our POWDR and BOYNE resort partnerships. And, as I mentioned, growing our optical business is very important for our business as well as effectively sharing our Happy Lens story. Finally, we will continue to create ways to support our existing core action sports retail partners. These key initiatives, plus a further expansion of our Happy Lens™ offering, improving our product margins and controlling our expenses will enable us to deliver a happy 2015.”
Income from operations increased by $0.1 million to $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2015, compared to income from operations of approximately $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2014. The $0.1 million increase was primarily due to a 280 basis point increase in gross profit as a percent of sales. Additionally, total operating expenses in the first quarter of 2015 were higher by $0.1 million, compared to the first quarter of 2014.
The Company incurred a net loss of $0.4 million and $0.7 million during the first quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are more fully discussed in our Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2015.
SPY Inc.:
We have a happy disrespect for the usual way of looking (at life) and the need to SEE HAPPY. It is this mindset that drives us to design, market, and distribute premium products for people who “live” to be outdoors, pushing the boundaries in action sports, motorsports, snow sports, cycling and multi-sports. We actively support the lifestyle subcultures that surround these pursuits, and as a result our products serve the broader fashion, music and entertainment markets of the youth culture. Our reason for being is to create the unusual and this is what helps us deliver distinctive products to people who are active, fun and a bit irreverent, like us. Our principal products—sunglasses, goggles and prescription frames—are marketed with fun and creativity under the SPY® brand.
