Financial Highlights from our Fiscal Year 2024:
- Net sales totaled $19.5 million in fiscal 2024 or a decrease of 19.1% compared to $24.1 million in fiscal 2023.
- Our gross profit for the year was flat at 62% in fiscal 2024 compared to 62% in fiscal 2023.
- Our loss from operations was $3.3 million in fiscal 2024 as compared to a loss of $22.4 million in fiscal 2023.
- Our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss from operations in fiscal 2024 was approximately $1.5 compared to our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from operations in fiscal 2023 of approximately $5.5. million, despite the decline in revenue. Our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA loss for the second half of 2024 was reduced to only $0.2 million from $1.2 million in the prior year comparative period.
- Net loss attributable to common shareholders for fiscal 2024 was approximately $7.7 million or $1.79 per share as compared to a net loss for fiscal 2023 of approximately $26.9 million, or $13.30 per share. The improvement in fiscal 2024 was principally attributable to ongoing management's efforts on improving profitability, as well as the $13.2 million intangible impairment during 2023.
- At September 30, 2024, we had working capital of approximately $1.1 million and cash on hand of approximately $2.4 million (which includes $4.7 million of accrued Series A dividend payments) as compared to working capital of approximately $3.4 million and cash on hand of approximately $1.8 million (which includes $0.67 million of accrued Series A dividend payments) at September 30, 2023.
- We reported direct to consumer (DTC) net sales of $15.7 million or 80.4% of total net sales in fiscal 2024, a decrease of $3.9 million, or 19.9% from fiscal 2023.
- As of the filing date of our annual report, the majority of our Notes have been converted and the balance of the Notes totaled approximately $0.36 million. When factoring in our cash balance of $2.4 million at the end of September 30, 2024 and ongoing cash consumption rate, management believe the Company has a strong liquidity position going into calendar 2025.
