FitLife Brands Announces First Quarter 2020 Results
 
OMAHA, NE – May 15, 2020 -- FitLife Brands, Inc. (“FitLife” or the “Company”) (OTC Pink: FTLF), an international provider of innovative and proprietary nutritional supplements for health-conscious consumers marketed under the brand names NDS Nutrition™, PMD®, SirenLabs®, CoreActive®, Metis Nutrition™, iSatori™, Energize, and BioGenetic Laboratories, today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
 
Highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 include:
 
Total revenue increased 4.6% to $6.2 million.
 
Direct-to-consumer online sales increased to 14% of total revenue, compared to 10% in the same quarter last year.
 
Gross profit improved 7.7% to $2.7 million.
 
Gross margin increased to 44.5% compared to 43.2% in the same quarter last year.
 
Net income increased 20.3% to $1.4 million.
 
Net income per share increased to $1.36 per share, or $1.27 per diluted share, compared to $1.07 per share, or $0.94 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year.
 
For the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, total revenue was $6.2 million versus $5.9 million in the same quarter last year, an increase of 4.6%. The increase was primarily attributable to continued growth in our online direct-to-consumer business. During the first quarter of 2020, online sales accounted for approximately 14% of the Company’s revenue, compared to 10% during the first quarter of 2019.
 
Gross profit improved to $2.7 million, an increase of 7.7% from the first quarter of 2019. Gross margin improved from 43.2% to 44.5% over the same time period. The improvement in gross margin was driven by product mix and higher online sales volumes.
 
Total operating expenses increased 5.8% from $1.3 million to $1.4 million, driven by an increased investment in sales and marketing.
 
Net income for the first quarter of 2020 was $1.4 million, an increase of 20.3% over the same quarter in 2019. The Company delivered basic earnings per share of $1.36 in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $1.07 in the same quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share increased from $0.94 in the first quarter of last year to $1.27 this year.
 
 
 
 
 
Dayton Judd, the Company’s Chairman and CEO, commented “I am very pleased with the Company’s performance during the first quarter, especially given the disruption that began in mid-March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. That said, given the uncertainty brought on by the current environment, I know our stakeholders are more interested in how the business is performing during the second quarter. Therefore, to be as transparent as possible, the Company provides the following information, not subject to any procedures by our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, regarding its performance and position as of May 14, 2020.”
 
Total accounts receivable outstanding is $1.1 million, of which approximately 66% is due from GNC.
Most of our customers continue to pay us timely in the ordinary course of business. However, several customers owing a combined total of $0.1 million are currently three or more weeks behind in making payments, and roughly 30% of that amount has already been fully reserved and is not included in the total accounts receivable balance reported above.
The Company repaid its line of credit in late April, and the full balance of the $2.5 million facility is available to draw again in the future as needed, subject to any borrowing base limitations.
Total cash on hand is $2.9 million.
The Company continues to pay all of its vendors timely in the ordinary course of business.
Thus far during the second quarter, the Company’s direct-to-consumer online revenue is pacing roughly 100% higher than online revenue during the same time period last year.
Retail sales of the Company’s products through GNC franchise locations experienced a year-over-year decline of 50-55% during late March and early April, but have been improving consistently each week since then, with recent declines in the 10-20% range relative to the same time period last year.
The Company generated no revenue from GNC during April, as the warehouses and the franchisees worked through existing inventory.
Beginning in the first half of May, the Company received orders from and has begun shipping products to GNC. Nevertheless, the Company anticipates that its revenue from GNC will be materially lower during the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same quarter last year.
Due to cost-cutting efforts, the Company anticipates that operating expense for the second quarter of 2020 will be at least 7-10% lower than the first quarter of 2020.
 
Mr. Judd continued, “While much uncertainty remains, I am pleased with how our team is navigating this pandemic. The Company will provide additional updates as warranted.”
