المصدر: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 05 أغسطس 2021 06:00:05 America/Chicago
GARDEN CITY, N.Y., Aug. 05, 2021 (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 June 30, 2021.
Robert Kay, Lifetime’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to have sustained the momentum we created in the first quarter of 2021 through the second quarter, with net sales up 24.3% and an increase in income from operations of $6.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2020. Demand for our products remains strong, and in addition to delivering another consecutive quarter of growth in our core U.S. business, our international operations continued to improve, driven by the recovery in Europe, growth in Asia and most notably the actions taken to restructure this business unit during 2020. As geographies have reopened and brick and mortar sales across both our U.S. and international businesses have increased, we have continued to invest in inventory to meet this growing demand and to deliver for our customers and consumers. Additionally, we are taking action to mitigate the impacts of supply chain challenges and increased shipping costs, which are being felt across the industry. We believe we are well positioned to navigate the current environment and we are confident in our ability to continue driving growth and profitability.”
Mr. Kay continued, “While we are closely monitoring macroeconomic headwinds, our outstanding results and execution give us confidence in our outlook for the remainder of the year, and we are pleased to be raising our full year 2021 net sales, net income and EBITDA guidance. As we look ahead, we remain focused on leveraging our strong cash flow and balance sheet to continue investing in our strategic initiatives and delivering value for all Lifetime Brands stakeholders.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including consolidated net sales in constant currency, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted diluted income (loss) per common share, and adjusted EBITDA. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows of a company; or, includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. As required by SEC rules, the Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided because management of the Company uses these financial measures in evaluating the Company’s on-going financial results and trends, and management believes that exclusion of certain items allows for more accurate period-to-period comparison of the Company’s operating performance by investors and analysts. 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.Forward-Looking Statements
