    Achieves Record Results in Sales and Adjusted EBITDA

    Declares Regular Quarterly Dividend

    GARDEN CITY, N.Y., March 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lifetime Brands, Inc. (NasdaqGS: LCUT), a leading global designer, developer and marketer of a broad range of branded consumer products used in the home, today reported its financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021.

    Robert Kay, Lifetime’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We achieved record performance in 2021 and delivered substantial growth across the business. Our strong execution in the face of a challenging macroeconomic environment enabled us to generate net income of $20.8 million and adjusted EBITDA of $95.1 million. This represented 23% growth in adjusted EBITDA over the prior year. This performance was driven by net sales growth for the full year 2021 of $93.7 million or 12.2% combined with stringent cost controls and supply chain management. Our core U.S. business is continuing to grow and gain market share, we are generating improved results in our international business, and we are seeing tangible results across the Company from our multiple growth initiatives.”

    Mr. Kay continued, “Our strong fourth quarter with net sales growth of 2.7% was achieved despite strong supply chain constraints which resulted in approximately $20 million of orders that were unable to ship during the quarter. This concluded another year of incredible progress for Lifetime Brands, and I’m grateful to our talented team for all its hard work and ongoing efforts. We are well positioned for continued growth and shareholder value creation in 2022 as we continue to execute our strategy.”

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    This earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including consolidated net sales in constant currency, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted income per common share, and adjusted EBITDA. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows of a company; or, includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided because management of the Company uses these financial measures in evaluating the Company’s on-going financial results and trends, and management believes that exclusion of certain items allows for more accurate period-to-period comparison of the Company’s operating performance by investors and analysts. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as indicators of business performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP financial measures of performance. As required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
