(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 and full year ended December 31, 2024. Fourth Quarter & Full Year 2024 Highlights: Fourth quarter sales of $215.2 million, exceeding fourth quarter 2023 sales by $12.1 million U.S. sales up $10.8 million, or 5.8%, and International up $0.8 million, or 4.4% (constant currency) Trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA of $55.4 million versus $53.9 million from prior quarterGross Margin expanded in both the fourth quarter and full year to 37.7% and 38.2%, respectively Rob Kay, Lifetime’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Lifetime’s strong fourth quarter performance capped a solid 2024, as seasonal consumer demand accelerated in December. Fourth quarter sales grew by 6% to $215 million over the prior year period, driven by the continued execution of our online sales strategy, a key growth opportunity, leading to additional market share gain in our e-commerce channel. As we reflect on 2024, we note the resilience in our core business evident in our financial performance, and a result of the value embedded in our products combined with operational actions that have positioned us to confidently support our future growth initiatives. Our International business reported an increase in sales for a second consecutive quarter, supporting our belief that our refined strategy to target larger national chains is gaining traction. In addition, numerous new product introductions drove growth including Build·a·Board, helping to increase Cutlery market share as well as the Dolly Parton program which contributed $7 million in sales in 2024. We are pleased to report we remain on pace to complete the program's phase one shipment by the end of first quarter of 2025. Touching on the current economic environment, our team is well positioned thanks to significant experience navigating similar macro shifts to proactively adapt our operations to anticipated fluctuations. To this point, while the situation remains fluid, we continue to take prudent measures to mitigate our exposure to the imposed tariffs on affected products. These actions, which include the movement of production to various geographies, are designed to allow Lifetime flexibility as the rules of international trade continue to fluctuate. Additionally, our strong balance sheet and liquidity of $111.7 million as of December 31, 2024, provides insulation against macro shocks. With the defensive tactics we have taken, we will be able to remain true to our business which has produced cash flow in all environments over many years. To that end, beginning in January 2025, Lifetime launched a transformation initiative designated as Project Concord. The strategic priorities of this comprehensive turnaround of our International business are expected to promote growth and streamline the cost structure of our International operations. As we execute the steps outlined in this project, the expectation is to generate continued incremental sales growth while identifying cost efficiencies that will produce a breakeven level of profitability in our International business at an accelerated pace.” Fourth Quarter Financial Results: Consolidated net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2024, were $215.2 million, representing an increase of $12.1 million or 6.0%, as compared to $203.1 million for the corresponding period in 2023.

Other Matters In January 2025, the Company announced the relocation of the Company’s east coast distribution facility currently located in Robbinsville, NJ (the “Robbinsville Facility”) to a warehouse and distribution space in Hagerstown, Maryland (the “Hagerstown Facility”).

The Hagerstown Facility will require capital expenditures for equipment and certain leasehold improvements of approximately $10 million. One-time relocation costs are estimated to be up to $7 million, which includes recruitment, relocation of inventory, set up costs and lease expenses prior to the Hagerstown Facility being fully operational. These one-time costs are expected to be incurred in 2026. The Company expects that the Hagerstown Facility will be operational by the second quarter of 2026. Additionally, in connection with the relocation to the Hagerstown Facility, the Company will receive tax abatement and incentives over the term of the Lease from the State of Maryland and Washington County, Maryland totaling approximately $13 million. These incentives include real property tax abatement, employee state withholding tax credit, conditional grants and income tax credits.
