PLANO, Texas, April 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Dogness (International) Corporation ("Dogness" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: DOGZ), a developer and manufacturer of a comprehensive line of Dogness-branded, OEM and private label pet products, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended December 31, 2022.

The Company noted it was not immune to macroeconomic headwinds facing the broader industry, which resulted in revenue declines in all geographic markets, with the exception of Australia. While total revenues decreased by approximately $7.8 million, or 42.8%, to approximately $10.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 from approximately $18.2 million for same period last year, 47.3% of revenue in the most recent period was from intelligent pet products, with 45.4% from traditional pet products. The ongoing mix shift to higher value, higher average selling price, or ASP, and higher margin products reflects the Company's ongoing investment in R&D and successful commercialization of its expanding line of intelligent pet products, ranging from smart feeders and GPS trackers to home monitoring robots and interactive treaters. 

Continued Focus on Intelligent Pet Products

Dogness continues to collaborate with large retail chains in the US and Canada to distribute its intelligent pet products under its own brand, rather than just serving as an OEM supplier. Furthermore, it continues to expand its sales on online shopping platforms, such as Amazon and Chewy, to reach more potential customers. Dogness anticipates that these efforts, coupled with the global economic recovery and the release of its new generation of intelligent pet products, will result in an increase in revenue in the near future, with its new generation of intelligent pet products continuing to be the primary source of revenue for its international sales.

As a result of the decline in revenue, the Company's gross profit decreased by approximately $4.4 million or 61.6%, to approximately $2.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022 from approximately $7.1 million for the same period of 2021. Overall gross profit margin was 26.1%, a decrease of 12.8 percentage points, as compared to 38.9% for the six months ended December 31, 2021.

Net loss was approximately $3.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, as compared to net income of approximately $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2021. The net loss was the result of decreased sales and gross profit, as well as increased operating expenses, primarily selling and research and development.

Silong Chen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dogness, commented, "We expect our financial results will better reflect our successful mix shift to intelligent products in the second half of this year. The underlying long-term fundamentals of our business remain strong, and we have several high volume customer orders in advanced stages that we believe will meaningfully contribute to our growth as we move into the second half of the year. We also expect to realize a higher return on investments we have made in customer support, R&D, and sales as we move forward. Our team remains focused on cultivating the extensive growth opportunities in front of us as we capitalize on the further expansion of our sales, design and development pipeline."
