Eightco Announces Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

 

Quarter Driven by Capital Restructuring to Prioritize Financial Stability

 

	●	Second quarter 2024 net income of $4.4 million versus net loss of ($8.9) million for the prior year quarter, due to better operating performance and elimination of warrant losses related to a retired convertible note
	●	Second quarter 2024 revenues of $7.0 million versus $20.5 million for the prior year quarter, driven by reduction in capital available for cell phone sales after repayment of the convertible note

 

Easton, PA, August 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OCTO) (the “Company” or “Eightco”) today announced financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Paul Vassilakos, CEO of Eightco and President of Forever 8 Fund, LLC (“Forever 8”), the Company’s largest subsidiary, said “The Company continues to focus on prioritizing the Forever 8 business in providing inventory capital for e-commerce sellers and refurbished apple product sellers. The Company has made significant progress in the first half of 2024 improving its financial condition, most notably through the elimination of $5.4 million in convertible notes and thus increasing shareholder equity.”

 

Financial Highlights and Commentary

 

During the first half of 2024, Eightco took significant steps to resolve legacy issues and strengthen its balance sheet. More specifically, the Company has improved shareholder equity through the following:

 

	●	Cancellation of $7.4 million of liabilities
	●	Cancellation of $15.6 million of additional liabilities to the former members of Forever 8:

 

	●	Earnout consideration (fair value of $6.1 million)
	●	$5.4 million in promissory notes
	●	$3.0 million in interest obligations
	●	$1.1 million of interest obligations converted into 1.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock

 

The Company also repaid convertible notes which resulted in the elimination of an aggregate of 5,846,627 dilutive shares related to warrants and convertible securities that were cancelled in connection therewith, as well as several one-time accounting events.

 

Repayment of the convertible note reduced the Company’s capital base by $5.4 million which resulted in a decrease in top line revenues as compared to the prior year quarter. The focus on Forever 8 operations also allowed for a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

●

Second quarter 2024 net income of $4.4 million versus a net loss of ($8.9) million in the prior year quarter

 

 

	●	Second quarter 2024 revenues of $7.0 million versus $20.5 million in the prior year quarter, driven by reduction in capital available for cell phone sales after repayment of the convertible note
	●	Second quarter 2024 gross profit of $1.8 million versus $2.5 million in the prior year quarter
	●	Second quarter 2024 gross profit margin of 25.3%, versus 12.3% in the prior year quarter
	●	Second quarter 2024 SG&A of $3.5 million, down 26.6% from $4.7 million in the prior year quarter
	●	Second quarter 2024 EBITDA of $6.4 million compared to a loss of ($5.5) million in the prior year quarter
	●	Second quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of a loss of ($0.8) million, from a loss of ($1.9) million in the prior year quarter

Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

 

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP performance measures. Management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to operating profit, net (loss) income and other GAAP measures, are useful to investors to evaluate the Company’s results because they exclude certain items that are not directly related to the Company’s core operating performance. Investors should recognize that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release are included in the table above. Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are not accessible, and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, we have not provided reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP measures. Items excluded to arrive at forward-looking non-GAAP measures may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.

 

A reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in accordance with SEC Regulation G as above.
