LCUT Lifetime Brands Inc

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 ended June 30, 2024.

Rob Kay, Lifetime’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our results for the second quarter were in line with our expectations even though macroeconomic pressures led to weakened demand across end markets. Despite these challenges, we were able to grow share across the majority of our categories, deliver growth in our e-commerce channel in our core U.S. market and expand our gross margins, a testament to the success of our operating strategy and we remain well positioned for resilient long-term growth.”

Mr. Kay continued, “Looking ahead to the remainder of the year, we remain on track to drive consistent growth in line with expectations and driven by strategic initiatives. To that end, we are reiterating our guidance for 2024 across every metric except net loss, which has been adjusted to reflect a non-cash loss related to the write down on our Grupo Vasconia investment which the Company made in 2007. With a strong balance sheet and robust cash flow generation, we have a solid foundation in place as we invest in our future growth and execute on the significant strategic opportunities already in our pipeline. We are confident we remain well-positioned to deliver meaningful value as we continue to expand our leading portfolio of brands, accelerate innovation and capture incremental growth opportunities.”
