iFabric Corp Reports a 21% Revenue Increase in Its Second Quarter Ended March 31, 2022

MARKHAM, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 12, 2022 / iFabric Corp. ("iFabric" or the "Company") (TSX:IFA)(OTCQX:IFABF), today announced its financial results for its second quarter and six months ended March 31, 2022.

"I am pleased to report the results for Q2, 2022. Our Lingerie Division's impressive rebound to pre-pandemic numbers continues. Had it not been for a large new program delayed by retail customer of our Intelligent Fabrics Division, both divisions would have recorded growth in the quarter. Fortunately, this delayed program has now commenced shipping. The added cost associated with the hiring of new staff in both our sales and product development teams, along with high non-operational costs, impacted the bottom line results of the quarter. The additional staff's benefit to results will be seen as we move forward to new highs," said Hylton Karon, President and CEO of iFabric.

"Due to the global logistics challenges, we also took the decision to bring in much larger quantities of inventory than normal, well ahead of our usual purchasing cycles. This will allow us to maintain our exceptional fulfilment record and make timely deliveries to our customers. With firm customer commitments in hand for the second half of fiscal 2022, this is shaping up to be another record setting year for iFabric," concluded Mr. Karon.

Q2 2022 HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Revenues of $3,477,287 compared $2,882,660 in Q2 2021, representing an increase of $594,627 or 21%.
  • Revenues in the Intelligent Fabrics Division, decreased by 14% or $348,172 to $2,190,631 from $2,538,803 in 2021, attributable to a major retail customer placing a shipping hold on products for a new program, as a result of other vendors of the retailer failing to meet their delivery timelines. The hold has since been lifted and these products have commenced shipping as at the date hereof.
  • Revenues in the Intimate Apparel Division increased by 299% or $944,267, to $1,260,153 from $315,886 in Q2 2021. The increase in Intimate Apparel revenue in 2022 versus 2021 was primarily attributable to the reopening of retail stores.
  • Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 36% in Q2 2022, from 41% in Q2 2021, as a result of higher shipping costs from China and inventory write downs in the quarter, associated with the relocation of our US warehousing.
  • Gross profit dollars increased by 6% or $64,964 to $1,239,767 in Q2 2022, compared to $1,174,803 in Q2 2021, as a result of increased revenues.
  • Adjusted negative EBITDA of $403,051 compared to adjusted negative EBITDA of $35,993 in Q2 2021.
  • Net loss after tax attributable to shareholders was $671,680 ($0.023 per share basic and diluted) compared to a net after tax loss of $141,155 ($0.005 per share basic and diluted) in Q2 2021. Share-based compensation costs of $327,433 attributable the issuance of stock options to a new director and an existing director, as well as exchange losses of $195,103 due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar were the main contributors to the increased loss.
  • Other comprehensive earnings, being unrealized currency gains on the translation of foreign operations, amounted to $85,413 in Q2 2022, compared to other comprehensive losses of $45,379 in Q2 2021. Total comprehensive losses amounted $582,892 in Q2 2022 compared to $180,606 in 2021.

  • Cash decreased to $4,999,871 at the end of Q1 2021 compared $7,994,659 at the end of the previous quarter. The decrease was attributable to increased inventory of $2,718,573 for the purposes of meeting commitments on confirmed existing and new programs during the latter half of fiscal 2022, as well as a reduction in liabilities of $1,685,039.
  • The Company's bank operating line was unutilized at both March 31, 2022 and at the end of the previous quarter, leaving the full line of $3,750,000 available to finance future business.
  • Shareholders' Equity attributable to common shareholders was $22,181,882 as at March 31, 2022 compared to $22,440,716 at the end of the previous quarter.

  • Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 36% for the six months ended March 31, 2022 from 39% in the same period of 2021. The decrease in gross profit percentage is mainly as a result of higher shipping costs from China and inventory write downs in the current quarter.
  • The net loss attributable to iFabric's shareholders during the six months ended March 31, 2022 was $503,720 ($0.017 per share basic and diluted) compared to net earnings attributable to shareholders of $1,461,127 for the six months ended March 31, 2021 ($0.055 per share, basic and $0.053 per share diluted).

*USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

Certain measures in this document do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and, therefore, are not considered generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") measures and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Where non-GAAP measures or terms are used, definitions are provided. The Company believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide important information regarding the operational performance and related trends of the Company's business. In this document and in the Company's consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise noted, all financial data is prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess its operating performance without the effects of (as applicable): current and deferred tax expense, finance costs, interest income, depreciation and amortization of plant assets, other gains and losses, impairment loss, share-based compensation and other non-recurring items. The Company adjusts for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and do not reflect its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be representative of net earnings from operations or an alternative measure to cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS.
