Koss Corporation Releases Third Quarter Results

Koss Corporation Releases Third Quarter Results, May 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Koss Corporation (NASDAQ: KOSS) (the “Company”), the U.S. based high-fidelity headphone company, has reported its results for the third quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Sales for the third quarter ended March 31, 2023 were $3,369,160, which is a 27.3% decline compared to $4,634,552 for the same period in the prior year. The net loss for the three months was $232,853 compared to net income of $403,204 for the third quarter of the prior year. Basic and diluted loss per common share for the quarter was $0.03 compared to basic and diluted income per common share of $0.04 for the same three-month period one year ago.

Sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 decreased 25.5% to $9,995,620 from $13,415,506 in the same period last year. The nine-month net income was $8,565,011 compared to net income of $882,814 for the same period last year. Basic income per common share was $0.93 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and diluted income per common share was $0.87. This compares to basic income per common share of $0.10 and diluted income per common share of $0.09 for the same nine-month period in the prior year.

"Sales to certain of our domestic distributors, as well as some of our online retailers, continue to show declines, driving down net sales for the first nine months,” Michael J. Koss, Chairman and CEO, said today. “The slowdown in consumer spending due to growing pessimism about the outlook of the economy appears to be the catalyst for a shift away from luxury, non-essential purchases. In light of the continuing discord between Russia and Ukraine, sales to our European distributors in those regions continue to be impacted. In addition, we have seen an approximately 35% decrease in sales to our Asian markets.”

“Gross margins for the first nine months of the current fiscal year were down versus the same period in the prior year,” Koss continued. “As the Company continues to sell through inventory purchased at higher freight rates, margins are negatively impacted. Also, given the lower sales volumes, the fixed manufacturing expenses drove a reduction in overall gross margins. Freight rates have stabilized and are expected to continue as general container demand remains steady. The Company is, however, staying abreast of the recent news regarding contract talks between United Parcel Service (UPS) and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Union to negotiate pay and overtime rules as this would impact our current small package shipments.”
