Insights

Financial Analyst

Envela posted strong Q1 results with 21% revenue growth and 31% higher net income, despite divergent segment performance.

Envela Corporation delivered impressive Q1 2025 financial results across key metrics. Revenue grew 21.1% year-over-year to $48.3 million, while net income increased 30.7% to $2.5 million. Diluted EPS rose 42.9% to $0.10 per share, and operating income jumped 33.3% to $3.1 million.

A closer examination reveals contrasting performance between business segments. The Consumer Division generated 76.3% of total revenue at $36.8 million (up 30.5% year-over-year), but experienced margin compression with gross margin declining from 12.6% to 11.5%. This division's operating income decreased to $0.1 million from $0.2 million in the prior year, suggesting that rapid expansion including the new San Antonio location may be temporarily pressuring profitability.

The Commercial Division, while maintaining steady revenue around $11.5 million, delivered substantial margin improvements. Gross margin expanded dramatically from 58.2% to 67.5%, driving a 42.9% increase in operating income to $3.0 million. Management attributed this to strong ITAD (IT Asset Disposition) business performance including a high-margin settlement, enhanced service delivery, and efficient processing of electronic scrap materials.

The balance sheet strengthened with cash and equivalents increasing to $21.0 million from $20.6 million at year-end 2024, while long-term debt decreased to $13.2 million from $13.5 million. This improved the company's net cash position by 10.5% to $7.8 million. Operating cash flow for the quarter was $1.1 million.

The company's planned NYSE Texas listing represents a potential milestone for increasing visibility. Meanwhile, the share repurchase program continues, with an additional 100,000 shares authorized, though only 500 shares were repurchased during Q1 at a cost of $2,600.

This quarter demonstrates Envela's ability to deliver strong overall financial results despite the profitability challenges in its rapidly expanding Consumer segment, with the high-margin Commercial segment effectively driving bottom-line growth.

IRVING, TX / ACCESS Newswire / May 7, 2025 / Envela Corporation today announced its financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2025. The Company reported quarterly revenue of $48.3 million and quarterly earnings per diluted share of $0.10.

Management Commentary

"As we proudly celebrate our 60th year and mark our Diamond Jubilee, we are pleased to share the first-quarter results for fiscal 2025-marking the beginning of what we anticipate will be one of our most impactful years yet," said John Loftus, CEO of Envela. "Building on strong post-holiday momentum, our consumer segment proudly opened its third San Antonio location-completing our near-term goal and reinforcing our strategy of sustainable expansion. This milestone underscores our commitment to growth while deepening our connection with the communities we serve. As we move forward, our focus shifts to optimizing performance across these new locations, delivering exceptional value and convenience, and setting the stage for even greater opportunities ahead," added Loftus.

"Our commercial segment delivered a strong performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, driven by disciplined operational cost management and continued margin improvements. The product returns business continues to perform exceptionally well, and we are actively identifying new opportunities to expand our service delivery model-unlocking even greater value for our clients and driving sustainable growth. As demand for responsible recycling and secure asset management continues to grow, we're excited to build on this momentum and drive further success in the quarters to come," said Loftus.

"Along with today results, we received notice of our clearance to list on the NYSE Texas. This is an exciting development and represents our commitment to promoting the Texas economy. As we complete our listing process and commence trading, we will keep the market abreast of those developments," concluded Loftus.

"Overall, our operating income grew by 33.3% over the prior-year quarter", said John DeLuca, CFO of Envela. "The consumer segment is returning to normal course operations, which has led to reduced overhead costs associated with store openings and improved inventory turns as we were not heavily impacted with the build of multiple new store inventory positions. During the quarter, the business was also favorably impacted by selling scrap grades and bullion into a rising gold spot market along with improved contributions from our stores," added DeLuca, CFO. "Our commercial segment benefited from the performance of its ITAD business, which recognized a high margin settlement along with the aforementioned growth in our services business and solid outbound shipments of electronic scrap grades from our shredders," said DeLuca. "These results allowed Envela to increase its net cash by 10.5% to $7.8 million, compared to $7.1 million on December 31, 2024" concluded DeLuca.
