Third Quarter 2021 Results:

  • Net sales of $8.5 million vs. $7.2 million in 2020, representing an 18% organic increase versus the prior year
  • Net loss of $2.5 million (($0.20) per share) driven by $1.6 million valuation allowance on deferred tax asset and $0.4 million inventory impairment

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Scott’s Liquid Gold-Inc. (OTC: SLGD) today announced results for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Third Quarter Financial Results

In the third quarter of 2021, net sales increased 18% to $8.5 million compared to $7.2 million in the same period in 2020. The increase was driven by reduced COVID-related retail and supply chain impacts as well as success in driving enhanced awareness of several key brands, including Alpha Skin Care.

Our net loss of $2.5 million was primarily driven by the establishment of a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset and impairment costs related to slow moving and obsolete inventories. We also continued to experience increases in logistics-related expenses driven by supply chain disruptions and product delays.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, we entered into a new loan agreement in the amount of $2 million with Denver-based La Plata Capital and further amended our loan agreement with UMB.

Management Commentary

“Over the last six months, we have undertaken a series of actions to improve operating performance, reduce costs, stabilize inventory levels, implement pricing initiatives, and position the Company for stronger performance and growth,” said Tisha Pedrazzini, President of Scott’s. “We continue to focus on the profitable growth of key brands in the skin and pet care categories while accelerating conversion in the e-commerce channel. We continue to sharpen our strategies by modernizing packaging, expanding our consumer base, innovating, and leveraging social media in new ways.”

Dan Roller, Chairman of the Board, commented, “With our new management team now in place, we are focused on strategically developing and growing our portfolio of brands, as well as potentially monetizing brands that do not fit our strategic vision.”

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This news release may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws that are intended to qualify for the Safe Harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. "Forward-looking statements" generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "assumptions," "target," "guidance," “strategy,” "outlook," "plans," "projection," "may," "will," "would," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe,” "potential," or "continue" (or the negative or other derivatives of each of these terms) or similar terminology.

Forward-looking statements convey our expectations, intentions, or forecasts about future events, circumstances, or results. All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which may change over time and many of which are beyond our control. You should not rely on any forward-looking statement as a prediction or guarantee about the future. Actual future objectives, strategies, plans, prospects, performance, conditions, or results may differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statement. Some of the factors that may cause actual results or other future events or circumstances to differ from those in forward-looking statements are described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the Company's subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf speaks only as of the date that it was made. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the impact of events, circumstances, or results that arise after the date that the statement was made, except as required by applicable securities laws. You, however, should consult further disclosures (including disclosures of a forward-looking nature) that we may make in any subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
