NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 17, 2024 / 1847 Holdings LLC ("1847" or the "Company") (NYSE American:EFSH), a holding company specializing in identifying over-looked, deep value investment opportunities in middle market businesses, today provided a business update and reported financial results for the year-ended December 31, 2023.

Key Financial Highlights

  • Total Revenue was $15.1M in Q4 2023 compared to $9.5M in Q4 2022, a 59.2% year-over-year increase
  • Gross profit was $2.7M in Q4 2023 compared to $1.4M in Q4 2022, a 99.8% year-over-year increase
  • Gross margin increased 370 basis points to 18.2% in Q4 2023, compared to 14.5% for the same period last year
  • Total revenue was $68.7M for the year-ended December 31, 2023, compared to $48.9M for the year-ended December 31, 2022, a 40.4% year-over-year increase
  • Gross profit was $23.5M for the year-ended December 31, 2023 compared to $15.7M for the year-ended December 31, 2022, a 49.9% year-over-year increase
  • Gross margin increased 220 basis points to 34.3% in 2023, compared to 32.1% for the same period last year

Mr. Ellery W. Roberts, CEO of 1847 Holdings, commented, "2023 marked a significant turning point for our company. I am pleased to report we achieved record annual revenue of $68.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, with gross profit increasing by 50% over the year ended December 31, 2022. Notably, our fourth quarter revenues for 2023 increased by 59.2%, complemented by a 99.8% increase in gross profit compared to the same period in the previous year. This exceptional performance is a testament to the robustness of our platform and our adeptness in fostering the growth and profitability of our portfolio companies. A prime example of this is our acquisition of ICU Eyewear in February 2023, a highly lucrative venture, at a purchase price of less than three times EBITDA. This addition to 1847 served as a key catalyst for revenue growth, improved margins, and overall profitability gains in 2023."

Mr. Ellery continued, "We maintain a strong acquisition pipeline, focusing on companies that offer accretive value and positive cash flow, all while minimizing dilution for our shareholders. Beyond our recent success, we are actively evaluating further transactions to leverage our momentum. Recently, we disclosed the signing of a non-binding LOI to acquire a prominent millwork, cabinetry, and door manufacturer headquartered in Las Vegas, NV. This target boasts revenues of $28.6 million, with a purchase price of $16.75 million which represents approximately 3.2x 2023 EBITDA.. This acquisition presents an attractive opportunity for 1847, as we have negotiated favorable terms, and we believe we can successfully complete this transaction without the need for equity-based funding at this time."

2023 Operational Achievements and Subsequent Events

  • Received a non-binding LOI from a potential strategic acquiror relating to the potential acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company's subsidiary, 1847 Cabinets Inc. for a purchase price of up to $27 million
  • Announced the execution of a non-binding LOI to acquire a large, established millwork, cabinetry and door manufacturer based in Las Vegas, NV with revenues of $28.6 million, with a purchase price of $16.75 million which represents approximately 3.2x 2023 EBITDA
  • Announced Wolo Manufacturing subsidiary achieved record 40% year-over-year revenue growth in the first two months of 2024
  • Announced ICU Eyewear subsidiary diversified manufacturing to reduce production costs and fortify supply chain
  • Announced ICU Eyewear subsidiary's strategic expansion of partnerships, adding 300 new locations with leading US retailer
  • Engaged Spartan Capital to pursue spinoff or strategic transaction for 1847 Cabinets Inc.
  • Completed refinancing and upsizing of $15 million revolving credit facility for ICU Eyewear subsidiary
  • Expanded Wolo Manufacturing Corp subsidiary into India through supply chain diversification program
  • Restructured promissory notes to non-dilutive debt instruments

"We have achieved several significant milestones throughout 2023 and the beginning of 2024. At this time, we believe that the true intrinsic value of our business has yet to be fully realized by the public market. Consequently, we are actively exploring various strategic avenues, including subsidiary spin-offs, aimed at maximizing value for our shareholders. Towards this end, we have engaged Spartan Capital to pursue a spin-off or strategic transaction for 1847 Cabinets Inc. Through a spin-off, our shareholders would retain their current equity in 1847 while also receiving a pro-rata share of 1847 Cabinets Inc. Importantly, 1847 Cabinets Inc. has consistently demonstrated revenue growth alongside improved profitability, making it an opportune moment for such a strategic move."

"Most recently, we have received a non-binding LOI from a prospective strategic acquirer expressing interest in acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of 1847 Cabinets Inc. for a purchase price of up to $27 million. Our portfolio comprises outstanding businesses, each possessing considerable value far exceeding our current market capitalization. Looking ahead to 2024, we anticipate sustaining robust revenue growth, which should substantially bolster our profitability as we capitalize on our fixed costs and benefit from economies of scale," concluded Mr. Roberts.

About 1847 Holdings LLC

1847 Holdings LLC (NYSE American:EFSH), a publicly traded diversified acquisition holding company, was founded by Ellery W. Roberts, a former partner of Parallel Investment Partners, Saunders Karp & Megrue, and Principal of Lazard Freres Strategic Realty Investors. 1847 Holdings' investment thesis is that capital market inefficiencies have left the founders and/or stakeholders of many small business enterprises or lower-middle market businesses with limited exit options despite the intrinsic value of their business. Given this dynamic, 1847 Holdings can consistently acquire businesses it views as "solid" for reasonable multiples of cash flow and then deploy resources to strengthen the infrastructure and systems of those businesses in order to improve operations. These improvements may lead to a sale or IPO of an operating subsidiary at higher valuations than the purchase price and/or alternatively, an operating subsidiary may be held in perpetuity and contribute to 1847 Holdings' ability to pay regular and special dividends to shareholders.
