NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 14, 2023 / 1847 Holdings LLC ("1847" or the "Company") (NYSE American:EFSH), a unique holding company that combines the attractive attributes of owning private, lower-middle market businesses with the liquidity and transparency of a publicly traded company, today provided a business update and reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Mr. Ellery W. Roberts, CEO of 1847 Holdings, commented, "I am pleased to report that revenues for the second quarter of 2023 increased by 50.4% and sequentially by 25.8% from the first quarter of 2023. Additionally, our gross profit increased 37.9% over the same period last year. It's important to note, Q2 2023 revenue alone represents more than 40% of what we generated in all of 2022. We believe our continued growth illustrates the success of our buy-and-build strategy. As an example, we more than doubled our production capacity to support the growing demand for our High Mountain Door and Trim and Innovative Cabinet & Design divisions. Given the high fixed-cost nature of our subsidiaries, we expect to gain meaningful operating leverage and improve profitability as we drive revenue growth. Importantly, we achieved company-wide revenue growth despite a challenging macro-environment, which we believe illustrates the value we add to our portfolio companies. Based on our current trajectory, we are reaffirming our prior guidance of revenue in excess of $90 million in 2023."

"We also continue to explore ways to monetize and maximize the value of our portfolio companies for the benefit of shareholders, consistent with our private equity approach. Towards this end, we recently engaged an investment bank to explore strategic options for our Asiens subsidiary. Most recently, we completed an unsecured debt financing with institutional investors, which provides us with additional capital to accelerate our growth. As a result, we believe we have no near-term need for equity-linked funding and expect cash flow from operations and our borrowing capacity to support our capital needs going forward," concluded Mr. Roberts.

About 1847 Holdings LLC

1847 Holdings LLC (NYSE American:EFSH), a publicly traded diversified acquisition holding company, was founded by Ellery W. Roberts, a former partner of Parallel Investment Partners, Saunders Karp & Megrue, and Principal of Lazard Freres Strategic Realty Investors. 1847 Holdings' investment thesis is that capital market inefficiencies have left the founders and/or stakeholders of many small business enterprises or lower-middle market businesses with limited exit options despite the intrinsic value of their business. Given this dynamic, 1847 Holdings can consistently acquire businesses it views as "solid" for reasonable multiples of cash flow and then deploy resources to strengthen the infrastructure and systems of those businesses in order to improve operations. These improvements may lead to a sale or IPO of an operating subsidiary at higher valuations than the purchase price and/or alternatively, an operating subsidiary may be held in perpetuity and contribute to 1847 Holdings' ability to pay regular and special dividends to shareholders.
