Classic S curve

Good call. That's exactly what happened.... Bait and Pull

Their revenue for 2022 and 1st quarter is strong though... suggests a gradual uptrend in share price in a normal market

Looks like nobody ways this sh!t ticker... guess no $5 run like last time LOL

Dead weight... flippers holding it back..... Market makers need to blow em out of the water lol

Certainly has the premarket volume and the 70% gain in revenue to extend the run into the morning though

Looks like it's gong to be weak all day... back to low $2s... but who knows... looks like bait and pull.... because they couldn't get enough retail to start buying the rip.... Could go back to low $2s but again who knows... could be a $9.25 -9.45 rip to see if it it has the potential to climb above $3... I'm sticking with low 2s and flipper .10 - .20 all day

Hour Loop Reports First Quarter 2023 Results
Demonstrates Strong Revenue Growth Despite Challenging e-Commerce Environment

Provides Full Year 2023 Revenue and Net Income Guidance

REDMOND, Wash., May 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hour Loop, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOUR) (“Hour Loop”), a leading online retailer, announces its financial and operational results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Financial Highlights for First Quarter 2023:

Net revenues increased 70.5% to $21.1 million, compared to $12.4 million in the year-ago period;
Net loss totaled $1.2 million, compared to net income of $0.6 million in the year-ago period; and
Cash used for operating activities was $3.1 million, compared to $7.9 million in the year-ago period.
Management Commentary

“We are pleased to report our first quarter 2023 results, in which we delivered great performance in terms of revenue growth,” said Sam Lai, CEO of Hour Loop. “The revenue growth rate for the first quarter was 70.5%, compared with the year-ago period, and outperformed most peers that we know.

“However, our gross margin was negatively impacted by the challenging e-commerce environment and intense competition caused by high inventory levels across the industry. Our operating expenses percentage, on the other hand, decreased because of efforts made for expenses management. Overall, we believe we’ve built a solid foundation to continue generating strong growth. We also aim to make improvements on profitability.”

“Looking forward, we’re cautiously optimistic. Despite an uncertain economy, we continue to see strong demand for our products so far in 2023. We are confident in our ability to continue delivering values to our vendors, customers, and shareholders.”

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Net revenues in the first quarter of 2023 were $21.1 million, compared to $12.4 million in the year-ago period. The increase was primarily due to continued growth and maturity in our personnel and operating model, despite the overall e-commerce traffic slowdown and intense competition.

Gross profit percentage decreased 6.7% to 45.6%, compared to 52.3% of net revenues in the comparable period a year ago. The decrease was a function of increased market competition, overstocked inventories, and higher Amazon fees.

Operating expenses percentage decreased 5.0% to 53.3%, compared to 58.3% of net revenues in the year-ago period. The decrease reflected better management of shipping, labelling, and preparation costs, as well as legal and professional fees.

Net loss in the first quarter of 2023 was $1.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the comparable year-ago period. The increase was driven by increased costs as a result of the reasons mentioned above despite efforts made for expenses management.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $1.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $4.6 million as of December 31, 2022. This decrease was driven by the payments made to vendors when due.

Inventories as of March 31, 2023, were $13.6 million, compared to $18.8 million as of December 31, 2022. The decrease represented strong sales momentum in the first quarter of 2023.

Full Year 2023 Financial Outlook

For the full year 2023, Hour Loop maintains its guidance for gross revenue to be in the range of $112 million to $122 million, representing 10% to 20% year-over-year growth. Hour Loop expects 2023 net income to be in the range of $0.5 million to $4 million.
