The earnings call highlighted the company's ability to navigate a challenging environment with strong performance in e-commerce and international operations, along with significant progress in diversifying manufacturing out of China. However, this was balanced by sales declines in the mass channel, decreased gross margins, and ongoing uncertainty due to trade concerns.

Company Guidance -

Q2 2025

During the Lifetime Brands First Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, the management provided guidance on navigating the current economic environment, although they chose not to issue formal guidance for the full year due to the volatility and uncertainty in the market. Key metrics included a slight decline in quarterly sales by 1.5% to $140.1 million and a decrease in net loss to $4.2 million from $6.3 million in the previous year. The gross margin decreased to 36.1% from 40.5% due to shifts in customer and product mix. Despite challenges in the mass retail channel, Lifetime Brands saw strong gains in e-commerce, the dollar channel, and club sectors. The company is focusing on mitigating tariff impacts by relocating 80% of its manufacturing out of China by the end of 2025 and has already started implementing price increases ranging from 6-16% effective May 15, 2025. They also reported an adjusted EBITDA of $51 million for the trailing twelve-month period ending March 31, 2025. The company's liquidity was approximately $90 million at the end of the quarter.
