WOONSOCKET, R.I., Aug. 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Summer Infant, Inc. ("Summer Infant" or the "Company") SUMR, a global leader in premium infant and juvenile products, today announced financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended July 1, 2017.
"As expected, the steps we've taken this past year to streamline and focus the Company are beginning to bear fruit," said Mark Messner, President and CEO. "Second quarter revenue rose 4% to $52.6 million – the highest level in two years – and we posted EPS of $0.03, reflecting sound operating discipline and increased demand for many seasonal products. Overall gross margins also expanded to 32.9%, as we continued our relentless drive towards bringing new products to market and better managing our channel partnerships. Even in a tough industry environment, Summer Infant has proven that product innovation, streamlined operations, and dedication to our customers can result in positive, improving financial results."
Second Quarter Results
Net sales for the three months ended July 1, 2017 were $52.6 million compared with $50.6 million for the three months ended July 2, 2016. Revenue rose primarily due to higher safety and gear product sales, including seasonal merchandise, partially offset by a decrease in monitor sales.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2017 was $17.3 million compared with $16.2 million for the second quarter of 2016, and gross margin was 32.9% in fiscal 2017 versus 32.0% in the prior year, reflecting reduced program costs. Selling expenses rose slightly to $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 versus $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to increased consumer advertising. General and administrative expenses (G&A) were $10.3 million in fiscal 2017 versus $10.0 million in 2016, with the year-over-year increase primarily due to $0.5 million of additional compensation expense under the Company's annual incentive plan. G&A as a percent of sales declined to 19.5% from 19.7% in the prior year period. Interest expense was $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2017 versus $0.6 million last year.
The Company reported net income of $0.5 million, or $0.03 per share, in the second quarter of 2017 compared with net income of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per share, in the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $3.5 million versus $3.7 million for the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2017 included $0.5 million in bank permitted add-back charges compared with $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2016.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP metric. An explanation is included under the heading below "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information," and reconciliations to GAAP measures can be found in the tables at the end of this release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This release and the referenced webcast include presentations of non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, constant currency, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share. Adjusted EBITDA means earnings before interest and taxes plus depreciation, amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and other items added back as detailed in the reconciliation table included in this release. Constant currency sales are determined by applying a fixed exchange rate, calculated as the 12-month average, to the current local currency sales amounts, with the difference in reported sales being attributable to currency. Non-GAAP adjusted net income/loss and adjusted earnings/loss per share exclude certain items, and the tax impact of these items, as detailed in the reconciliation table included in this release. Such information is supplemental to information presented in accordance with GAAP and is not intended to represent a presentation in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors to better understand, on a period-to-period comparable basis, financial amounts both including and excluding these identified items, as they indicate more clearly the Company's operations and its ability to meet capital expenditure and working capital requirements and comply with the financial covenants of its loan agreements. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to such GAAP measures as net income, cash flows provided by or used in operating, investing or financing activities or other financial statement data presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements as an indicator of financial performance or liquidity. The Company provides reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures in its press releases of historical performance. Because these measures are not determined in accordance with GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, these non-GAAP measures, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

These statements are accompanied by words such as "anticipate," "expect," "project," "will," "believes," "estimate" and similar expressions, and include statements regarding the Company's expectations regarding future operating performance and the impact of its brand strategy for 2017 and beyond. The Company cautions that these statements are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include the concentration of the Company's business with retail customers; the ability of the Company to compete in its industry; the Company's ability to continue to control costs and expenses, including legal expenses; the Company's dependence on key personnel; the Company's reliance on foreign suppliers; the Company's ability to develop, market and launch new products; the Company's ability to grow sales with existing and new customers and in new channels; the Company's ability to meet required financial covenants under its loan agreements; and other risks as detailed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
