FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
iSatori Reports First Quarter 2015 Financial Results and Recent Developments
6% Increase in Net Revenues; Returns to Profitability
GOLDEN, CO--(MarketWired – May 8, 2015) - iSatori, Inc. (OTCQB: IFIT), an emerging leader in the development and marketing of scientifically engineered nutritional supplements for healthier lifestyles, under the iSatori (www.isatori.com), BioGenetic Laboratories (www.BioGeneticLabs.com), and Energize (www.TryEnergize.com) brands, today announced its first quarter 2015 results. A complete report of the Company's (GAAP) financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015, will be available today on its quarterly report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-Q.
iSatori's product revenues (net of returns and discounts) increased $179,000 or 6% to $3,398,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $3,219,000 for the same period in 2014. Gross product revenues increased 6% to $3,933,000 compared to $3,730,000 for the same period in 2014. The increase in revenues can be attributed to increasing demand for their category-creating Bio-Gro™ product and newly released products which were not available during the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, such as Pre-Gro™ and Hyper-Gro™ (both of which are fortified with Bio-Gro™). Adjustments from revenues (for retailer advertising discounts, returns, promotional credits, and coupons) increased $24,000 or 5% to $535,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $511,000 for the same period in the previous year period. Total operating expenses decreased by $70,000 or -4% for first three months ended March 31, 2015, to $1,593,000 from $1,663,000 for the same period prior year. As a result, net income for the first quarter was $26,000 compared to net income of $336,000 or $.03 per share for the same period in 2014.
“We are pleased to announce our return to profitability. Our Company took very important steps during the last 120 days to streamline our business, eliminate poorly performing products, and increase customer demand for our products at retail,” said Stephen Adelé. "As a result, we have been able to generate a positive year over year increase in revenues and bring our company back to profitability. Management remains confident in our ability to continue to drive increased shareholder value by executing our strategic growth objectives throughout the remainder of the year.”
First Quarter 2015 Highlights:
Ÿ
On January 5, 2015, the Company launched two new products fortified with clinically tested Bio-Gro™ Bio-Active Peptides to complement its growing GRO product line within in sports nutrition assortment. Pre-Gro™ is a pre-workout powder designed to deliver a high energy, muscle-building workout experience. Hyper-Gro™ is a lean muscle mass gainer shake mix that contains an exclusive 5-Phase Instantized Protein Blend with beef protein isolate as its number one source. Distribution for both products was secured for the Company’s primary channels, such as GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Vitamin World, Europa Sports Wholesalers, Bodybuilding.com, and other retailers, and international markets will be shipped as product is made available. Initial response to both Pre-Gro™ and Hyper-Gro™ has been positive. iSatori had backlogged $374,000 in orders waiting to be filled with future production runs. The Company expects to fill those product orders prior to the end of 2Q 2015.

Ÿ
In January 2015, iSatori signed a multi-year endorsement agreement with one of the industry’s biggest influencers, CT Fletcher. With his nearly 2-million followers in various social media outlets, CT is known as the “master of motivation” as he accepts no excuses for not putting in the hard work to transform the body, which is a shared core value with iSatori. The Company expects this partnership to increase brand awareness and consumption of iSatori products through his wide reach and influence in Social Media. CT Fletcher will make a series of special retail and tradeshow appearances throughout the year on behalf of iSatori, and the Company is excited about the new endorsement deal which should yield dividends for the brand’s equity over time.
Ÿ
In January 2015, iSatori partnered in distribution with Sportika Export (based in Connecticut), the largest U.S. dietary supplement exporter in the world. Led by industry veterans Richard White and Barry Griffing, with their expertise in export of sports supplements and wide distribution into over 130+ countries, the Company expects to gain new international distribution in the coming year through this new, exciting channel.
Ÿ
In January 2015, the Company officially “cut the ribbon” on its 17,426-square-foot warehouse and distribution center, located in Denver, Colorado. The facility is occupied under a four-year lease and will allow the Company to house all its finished goods under one facility. New machinery also allows the Company to bundle and package promotions, internally, and thereby reduce incurred expenses normally paid for these services. The new warehouse and distribution center is expected to be accretive to the company by removing outside warehousing cost and reducing long-distance and intermittent freight expenses. In conjunction with the move, a new freight agreement with a major carrier was executed to add additional cost savings to the in-direct COGS. The Company believes the full implementation of the warehouse and distribution center will increase efficiencies in fulfillment, reduce overall transit and freight costs, and improve the customer experience.
Ÿ
In February 2015, the Company shipped the opening orders of its Energize 28-count tablet to CVS Health drugstores for national distribution. The Company also received initial purchase orders from Rite-Aid drugstores for their Energize product in February, which would expand distribution in Rite-Aid from partial to full national distribution. These customer acquisitions will increase iSatori’s retail footprint by adding over 11,000+ retail stores to its domestic distribution—increasing the Company’s ACV (all commodity volume, a measure of maximum retail distribution volume) from 18.6% to 34.1%, which includes such current retail distribution as Walmart, Walgreens, Super Value, Meijer, and other food, drug and mass retailers.
Ÿ
On April 3, 2015, Seth Yakatan was named Interim Chief Financial Officer. He currently serves as a member of the Company's Board of Directors, having joined the Board in 2014, and also serves as Vice President of Business Development for Invion, Ltd. The Company also promoted Andrea Clem to serve as Executive Vice President, Finance and Corporate Controller. Michael Wilemon, who served as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, retired from the Company.
