This improvement was driven by new product sales that far exceeded our expectations, surpassing prior year sales to the European market by over 100%,” Michael J. Koss, Chairman and CEO, said today. “Greater direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales and a significant custom order from a new domestic customer also contributed to the growth compared to the same six-month period in the prior year. Unfortunately, most of these gains were offset by lower sales to the Education market, e-tailers and U.S. domestic distributors.” Koss continued, stating that “Increased DTC sales and new product sales to Europe helped drive higher margins, along with favorable volumes of higher margin sales to our domestic distributors. Gross margins increased to 38.1% for the first half of our current fiscal year compared to 32.3% for the same period in the prior year. The prior year margins were also negatively impacted by the sell-through of inventory landed in at higher freight rates.” Koss further noted, “During the first half of our fiscal year, we experienced slight increases in freight costs and anticipate further rises in the future. We will continue to monitor the supply chain and potential tariffs closely and take necessary actions to address any adverse changes.” About Koss Corporation Koss Corporation markets a complete line of high-fidelity headphones, wireless Bluetooth® speakers, computer headsets, telecommunications headsets, active noise canceling headphones, and wireless headphones.
