MILWAUKEE, Oct. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Koss Corporation (NASDAQ: KOSS) (the "Company"), the U.S. based high-fidelity headphone company, has reported its results for the first quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Sales for the first quarter ended September 30, 2023 were $3,373,938 compared to $3,364,129 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of $9,809, or 0.3%. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $257,609 compared to net income of $9,944,743 for the first quarter of the prior year. Basic and diluted loss per common share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $0.03 compared to basic income per common share of $1.09 and diluted income per common share of $1.01 for the same three-month period one year ago.
"Orders from two distributors in Europe signaled a positive change particularly in light of the ongoing war in eastern Europe," Michael J. Koss, Chairman and CEO, said today. "Unfortunately, a reduction in consumer confidence, leading to a slowdown in spending, resulted in a drop in our Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC") sales, nearly negating the increase in export sales. We also experienced a decline in sales to certain domestic distributors due to continued overstocked inventory levels of non-Koss product at these distributors."
"Gross margins for the first three months of the current fiscal year were down versus the same period in the prior year," Koss continued. "The less favorable customer mix of sales, with a lower volume of higher margin DTC and domestic distributor sales, drove the decline in margins. The continued sell through of inventory that was shipped from suppliers at higher freight rates also adversely impacted the gross margins. The favorability in fixed manufacturing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to cost savings initiatives provided some positive impact compared to the same period in the prior year. Freight rates are expected to make a slow rise during the next quarter due to the current labor landscape, the recent settlement of threatened carrier strikes and labor disputes, and rising energy prices. The Company continues to monitor the supply chain environment."

密爾沃基,2023年10月26日(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)——總部位於美國的高保真耳機公司高斯電子公司(納斯達克股票代碼:KOSS)(以下簡稱 “公司”)公佈了截至2023年9月30日的第一季度業績。
截至2023年9月30日的第一季度的銷售額爲3,373,938美元,而去年同期爲3,364,129美元,增長了9,809美元,增長了0.3%。截至2023年9月30日的三個月,淨虧損爲257,609美元,而去年第一季度的淨收入爲9,944,743美元。2024財年第一季度的每股普通股基本虧損和攤薄後虧損爲0.03美元,而去年同期的每股普通股基本收益爲1.09美元,攤薄後每股普通股收益爲1.01美元。
董事長兼首席執行官邁克爾·科斯今天表示:“來自歐洲兩家分銷商的訂單預示着積極的變化,特別是在東歐持續的戰爭的情況下。”“不幸的是,消費者信心下降導致支出放緩,導致我們的直接面向消費者(“DTC”)銷售額下降,幾乎抵消了出口銷售的增長。由於某些國內分銷商的非KOSS產品庫存持續積壓,我們還經歷了對這些分銷商的銷售下降。”
科斯繼續說:“本財年前三個月的毛利率與去年同期相比有所下降。”“不太有利的銷售客戶組合,加上利潤率較高的DTC和國內分銷商的銷售量減少,推動了利潤率的下降。供應商以更高的運費持續出售庫存也對毛利率產生了不利影響。與去年同期相比,由於成本節約舉措,截至2023年9月30日的三個月中,固定制造費用表現良好,這帶來了一些積極影響。由於當前的勞動力格局、最近對承運人罷工和勞資糾紛的威脅以及能源價格的上漲,預計下一季度運費將緩慢上漲。該公司繼續監控供應鏈環境。”
