Scott’s Liquid Gold-Inc. Reports First Quarter Results

First Quarter 2022 Highlights:

  • First quarter 2022 net sales of $5.8 million vs. $9.4 million in 2021
  • Net loss of $0.5 million in Q1 2022 vs. $0.3 million in 2021

Scott’s Liquid Gold-Inc. (OTC: SLGD) today announced results for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

First Quarter Financial Results

In the first quarter of 2022, net sales decreased due to the sale of the Dryel brand and the conclusion of our agreement to distribute Batiste products, which collectively represented $2.5 million in sales in the first quarter of 2021. BIZ sales declined due to supply chain issues with our powder booster products. Sales of our Alpha Skin Care products decreased due to the lockdowns in China, which impacted our ability to export those products. Our Kids N Pets and Messy Pet brands experienced slight increases in sales versus the first quarter of 2021 due to targeted marketing efforts.

Our net loss of $0.5 million was primarily driven by amortization of intangible assets, interest expense, and continued inflationary impacts associated with the manufacture and distribution of our products. In addition to high logistics-related expenses, the rising cost of fuel negatively impacted our inbound and outbound transportation rates.

Management Commentary

“We are proud of our team for their efforts to help mitigate the volatile and challenging environment,” said Tisha Pedrazzini, President of Scott’s. “While inflation continues to impact operating costs and supply chain remains uncertain, we’ve launched new line extensions that we believe set the foundation to deliver on our future growth plans. We continue to focus on both sales growth initiatives and cost structure efficiencies to drive profit improvements in the short and long term.”
