Revenue increased approximately $32.4 million, or 35.4%, to
approximately $123.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024,
compared to revenue of approximately $91.5 million in the prior
year period. The increase is primarily attributable to the
acquisitions of PMW, which was acquired during the fourth quarter
of fiscal year 2023, and Central Steel, which was acquired in May
2024, which collectively added approximately $21.1 million, an
increase of approximately $9.5 million in the Retail-Flooring
segment, as well as an increase of approximately $3.8 million in
the Flooring Manufacturing segment. The increase was partially
offset by decreased revenue of approximately $2.2 million in the
Company’s other businesses due to general economic conditions.
Operating income was approximately $1.1 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2024, compared with operating income of
approximately $5.6 million in the prior year period. The decrease
in operating income is primarily attributable to the
Retail-Flooring segment’s temporary inefficiencies associated with
the acquisition of Carpet Remnant Outlet, Inc. (“CRO”) and Johnson
Floor & Home (“Johnson”) by Flooring Liquidators, Inc.
(“Flooring Liquidators”), which were acquired during the first
quarter of fiscal year 2024. The decrease was also attributable to
the Steel Manufacturing segment’s decrease in gross margin
primarily due to reduced production efficiencies as a result of
lower demand.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2024 net loss was approximately
$2.9 million, and diluted loss per share was $0.91, compared with
net income of approximately $1.1 million and diluted EPS of $0.33
in the prior year period. The change in net loss is attributable to
lower operating income and higher interest expense, net of income
taxes.
Adjusted EBITDA¹ for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was
approximately $6.1 million, a decrease of approximately $3.5
million, or 36.1%, compared to the prior year period. The decrease
is primarily due to decreases in operating income.
As of June 30, 2024 the Company had total cash availability of
$34.4 million, consisting of cash on hand of $4.7 million and
availability under its various lines of credit of $29.7
million.

Retail – Entertainment
Retail-Entertainment segment revenue for the quarter ended June
30, 2024 was approximately $16.5 million, a decrease of
approximately $1.5 million, or 8.4%, compared to prior year period
revenue of approximately $18.0 million in the prior year period.
Revenue decreased primarily due to reduced consumer demand and a
shift in sales mix toward used products, which generally have lower
ticket sales with higher margins. The shift in sales mix also
contributed to the increase in gross margin to 57.9% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to 54.7% for the prior year
period. Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was
approximately $1.3 million, compared to operating income of
approximately $1.5 million for the prior year period.
Retail – Flooring
The Retail-Flooring segment revenue for the quarter ended June
30, 2024, was approximately $37.0 million, an increase of
approximately $9.5 million, or 34.7%, compared to prior year period
revenue of approximately $27.4 million. The increase is primarily
due to increased revenue in Flooring Liquidator's builder design
and installation segment, Elite Builder Services, and the
acquisitions of CRO and Johnson by Flooring Liquidators during the
first quarter of fiscal year 2024. The gross margin for the quarter
ended June 30, 2024 was 36.6%, compared to 37.8% for the prior year
period. Operating loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was
approximately $1.5 million, compared to operating income of
approximately $1.0 million for the prior year period. The increase
in operating loss was primarily due to temporary inefficiencies
associated with the acquisitions of CRO and Johnson in the current
period.
Flooring Manufacturing
Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was approximately
$31.3 million, an increase of approximately $3.8 million, or 14.0%,
compared to prior year period revenue of approximately $27.4
million. The gross margin was 24.7% for the quarter ended June 30,
2024, compared to 23.3% for the prior year period. The revenue and
gross margin increases are primarily due to increased sales
associated with the acquisition of the Harris Flooring Group®
brands in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023. Operating income
for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $1.9 million,
compared to operating income of approximately $2.0 million for the
prior year. The decrease in operating income in the current year
period was due to increased selling and marketing expense
associated with the acquisition of the Harris Flooring Group®
brands.
Steel Manufacturing
Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was approximately
$39.0 million, an increase of approximately $20.6 million or
112.1%, compared to the prior year period revenue of approximately
$18.4 million. The increase is primarily due to increased revenue
of approximately $19.2 million at PMW and approximately $1.9
million at Central Steel, partially offset by a $0.5 million
decrease in the Company’s other Steel Manufacturing businesses. The
gross margin was 15.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024,
compared to 29.2% for the prior year period. The decrease in gross
margin is primarily due to the acquisition of PMW, which has
historically generated lower margins, as well as an overall
decrease in margins in the Steel Manufacturing segment due to
reduced production efficiencies as a result of lower demand.
Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was
approximately $1.4 million, compared to operating income of
approximately $2.7 million in the prior year period.
Corporate and Other
Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was approximately
$0.1 million, a decrease of approximately $0.1 million, or 63.1%,
compared to the prior year period revenue of approximately $0.2
million. Operating loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was
approximately $1.9 million, compared to an operating loss of
approximately $1.8 million in the prior year period.

Revenue increased approximately $108.5 million, or 43.1%, to
$360.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, as compared
to revenue of $251.6 million in the prior year period. The increase
is primarily attributable to the acquisitions of PMW and Flooring
Liquidators, which collectively added $110.2 million, as well as an
increase of approximately $10.5 million in the Flooring
Manufacturing segment. The increase was partially offset by
decreased revenue of approximately $12.2 million in the Company’s
other businesses due to general economic conditions.
Operating income decreased to $3.8 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 2024, compared to $15.1 million in the prior year
period. The decrease in operating income is primarily attributable
to the Retail-Flooring segment’s temporary inefficiencies
associated with the acquisitions of CRO and Johnson by Flooring
Liquidators, which were acquired during the first quarter of fiscal
year 2024. The decrease was also attributable to the Steel
Manufacturing segment’s decrease in gross margin primarily as a
result of the acquisition of PMW, which has historically generated
lower margins, as well as an overall decrease in margins in the
Steel Manufacturing segment due to reduced production efficiencies
as a result of lower demand.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2024 net loss was $6.8
million and diluted loss per share was $2.16, compared with net
income of $4.5 million and diluted EPS of $1.42 in the prior year
period. The increase in net loss is attributable to lower operating
income and higher interest expense related to the acquisitions of
Flooring Liquidators and PMW, net of income taxes.
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 was
$19.3 million, a decrease of approximately $7.0 million, or 26.7%,
compared to the prior year period. The decrease is primarily due to
the decrease in operating income.

Retail - Entertainment
Retail-Entertainment segment revenue for the nine months ended
June 30, 2024 was approximately $53.9 million, a decrease of
approximately $6.5 million, or 10.7%, compared to the prior year
period revenue of approximately $60.4 million. The decrease in
revenue is primarily due to reduced consumer demand and a shift in
sales mix toward used products, which generally have lower ticket
sales with higher margins. The shift in sales mix also contributed
to the increase in gross margin to 57.3% for the nine months ended
June 30, 2024, compared to 54.0% for the prior year period.
Operating income for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 was
approximately $6.3 million, compared to operating income of
approximately $7.5 million for the prior year period.
Retail - Flooring
The Retail-Flooring segment consists of Flooring Liquidators,
which was acquired in January 2023. Revenue for the nine months
ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $103.3 million, an increase
of approximately $55.1 million, or 114.3%, compared to the prior
year period revenue of $48.2 million. The increase is due to the
acquisition of Flooring Liquidators in the second quarter of fiscal
year 2023 and the acquisitions of CRO and Johnson by Flooring
Liquidators during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. The gross
margin for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 was 37.0%, compared
to 37.6% for the prior year period. Operating loss for the nine
months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately $4.4 million, compared
to operating income of approximately $0.8 million for the prior
year period. The increase in operating loss was primarily due to
temporary inefficiencies associated with the acquisitions of CRO
and Johnson in the current period.
Flooring Manufacturing
Revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 was
approximately $94.7 million, an increase of approximately $10.5
million, or 12.5%, compared to the prior year period revenue of
approximately $84.2 million. The gross margin was 24.2% for the
nine months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 21.8% for the prior
year period. The increase in revenue and gross margin are primarily
due to increased sales associated with the acquisition of the
Harris Flooring Group® brands in the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2023. Operating income for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 was
approximately $4.8 million, compared to operating income of
approximately $5.2 million for the prior year period. The decrease
in operating income was primarily due to increased selling and
marketing expense associated with the acquisition of the Harris
Flooring Group® brands.
Steel Manufacturing
Revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 increased
approximately $51.6 million or 91.6% to approximately $107.9
million, as compared to the prior year period revenue of $56.3
million. The increase is primarily due to increased revenue of
approximately $55.1 million at PMW, which was acquired in the
fourth quarter of 2023, and $1.9 million at Central Steel, which
was acquired during May 2024, partially offset by a $5.4 million
decrease in the Company’s other Steel Manufacturing businesses. The
gross margin was 15.3% for the nine months ended June 30, 2024,
compared to 27.4% for the prior year period. The decrease in gross
margin is primarily due to the acquisition of PMW, which has
historically generated lower margins, as well as overall decreased
margins in the Steel Manufacturing segment due to reduced
production. Operating income for the nine months ended June 30,
2024 was approximately $3.2 million, compared to operating income
of approximately $7.0 in the prior year period.
Corporate and Other
Revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by
approximately $2.3 million to approximately $0.3 million. The
decrease was primarily due to the closure of SW Financial in May
2023. Operating loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 was
approximately $6.0 million, compared to an operating loss of
approximately $5.4 million in the prior year period.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted EBITDA
We evaluate the performance of our operations based on financial
measures, such as “Adjusted EBITDA,” which is a non-GAAP financial
measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before
interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation,
amortization, stock-based compensation, and other non-cash or
nonrecurring charges. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an
important indicator of the operational strength and performance of
the business, including the business’s ability to fund acquisitions
and other capital expenditures and to service its debt.
Additionally, this measure is used by management to evaluate
operating results and perform analytical comparisons and identify
strategies to improve performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also a
measure that is customarily used by financial analysts to evaluate
a company’s financial performance, subject to certain adjustments.
Adjusted EBITDA does not represent cash flows from operations, as
defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”),
should not be construed as an alternative to net income or loss,
and is indicative neither of our results of operations, nor of cash
flow available to fund our cash needs. It is, however, a
measurement that the Company believes is useful to investors in
analyzing its operating performance. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA
should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for,
net income, cash flow provided by operating activities, and other
measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
As companies often define non-GAAP financial measures differently,
Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by Live Ventures Incorporated,
should not be compared to any similarly titled measures reported by
other companies.
Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
The use of the word “Company” refers to Live Ventures and its
wholly owned subsidiaries. Certain statements in this press release
contain or may suggest “forward-looking” information within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended, that are intended
to be covered by the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Words
such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,”
“plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar statements are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Live Ventures may
also make forward-looking statements in its periodic reports to the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 10-K and 10-Q,
Current Reports on Form 8-K, in its annual report to stockholders,
in press releases and other written materials, and in oral
statements made by its officers, directors or employees to third
parties. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove
to be accurate and there are a number of important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed in any forward-looking statements made by the Company,
including, but not limited to, plans and objectives of
management for future operations or products, the market acceptance
or future success of our products, and our future financial
performance. The Company cautions that these forward-looking
statements are further qualified by other factors including, but
not limited to, those set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.
Additionally, new risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is
not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, or to assess
the impact such risk factors might have on our business. Live
Ventures undertakes no obligation to publicly update any
forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
