Dogness Reports Financial Results for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2023

PLANO, Texas, April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dogness (International) Corporation ("Dogness" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: DOGZ), a developer and manufacturer of a comprehensive line of Dogness-branded, OEM and private label pet products, today announced its financial results for the six months ended December 31, 2023.

Silong Chen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dogness, commented, "We continue to face challenges due to intense competition in the domestic market and the ongoing trade dispute between China and the United States, which are impacting and will likely continue impacting our domestic and export sales in the near future."

"The decrease in the Company's revenue during the half year ended December 31, 2023 was also partially caused by a significant drop in the average selling price of our intelligent pet products and further affected by decreases in sales volume. To counter the effects of weak sales, we are actively focused on expanding our customer base and exploring new markets by developing more new high-tech products to differentiate us from competitors and meet customer demands. In particular, we are targeting younger consumers who show a strong interest in our smart pet products. We are also implementing cost-saving measures to streamline supply chain processes, enhance production efficiency and improve profit margins."

"We also target to actively seek merger and acquisition opportunities to capitalize on industry challenges and expand our market presence. By acquiring complementary companies, we can strengthen our industrial chain and exercise greater control over manufacturing costs. Through effective cost control we aim to improve sales performance and margins, so to deliver strong return on investment for our valued shareholders in the near future."

Financial Results for the Half Year Ended December 31, 2023

Revenues decreased by approximately $3.7 million, or 35.8%, to approximately $6.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 from approximately $10.4 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the significant decrease in sales for both domestic and international markets.

The following table breaks down Dogness' revenue by product and service type for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

─ Traditional pet products

Revenue from traditional pet products decreased by $1.1 million or 23.7%, from $4.7 million in the six months ended December 31, 2022, to $3.6 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023. The decline was due to a $0.40 decrease in average selling price per unit.

Intelligent pet products

Revenue from intelligent pet products decreased by $2.7 million or 54.5%, from $4.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 2022, to $2.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was driven by a $28.40 decrease in average selling price per unit, and more low-value intelligent pet products were sold during the six months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022.

Climbing hooks and others

Revenue from climbing hooks and other products increased by $39 thousand from $0.7 million in the six months ended December 31, 2022, to $0.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2023. The increase was due to a $0.10 increase in average selling price per unit.

Dyeing service

For the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company earned approximately $0.1 million and $Nil, respectively, in dyeing service fees.

International vs. Domestic sales

International sales decreased by approximately $2.3 million or 33.7%, to $4.5 million for the six months ending December 31, 2023, compared to $6.8 million in the same period in 2022. The decline was primarily driven by a significant drop in the average selling price of intelligent pet products during this period.

Domestic sales decreased by approximately $1.4 million or 39.9%, from approximately $3.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022, to approximately $2.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease in customer orders caused by intense competition in the domestic market.

Cost of revenues was approximately $5.4 million during the six months ending December 31, 2023, compared to around $7.7 million for the same period in 2022. This decrease was due to a significant drop in the average unit cost of intelligent pet products. The cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues increased by about 6.5 percentage points, reaching 80.4% for the six months ending December 31, 2023, compared to 73.9% in 2022.

Gross profit decreased by approximately $1.4 million or 51.7%, to about $1.3 million for the six months ending December 31, 2023, compared to around $2.7 million in 2022. This decline was primarily due to the lower average selling price of our intelligent pet products. The overall gross profit margin was 19.6%, a decrease of 6.5 percentage points from the 26.1% margin achieved in 2022.

Total operating expenses decreased by approximately $1.4 million or 21.8%, to about $4.9 million for the six months ending December 31, 2023, compared to around $6.2 million for the same period in 2022.

Selling expenses

Selling expenses decreased by approximately $1.0 million or 64.8%, from around $1.5 million to about $0.5 million. The decrease was due to reduced marketing research activities. As a percentage of sales, selling expenses were 7.9% in 2023 and 14.4% in 2022.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased by about $0.3 million or 7.6%, from around $4.2 million to approximately $3.9 million. The decrease was mainly due to lower consultant fees and expenses associated with furnishing the new facility. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses were 58.0% in 2023 and 40.3% in 2022.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses decreased by $0.1 million or 12.4%, from $0.6 million to approximately $0.5 million. As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses were 7.3% in 2023 and 5.3% in 2022.

Net loss was approximately $3.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to approximately $3.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022. The increased net loss was the result of decreased sales and gross profit, offset by decreased operating expenses as discussed above.
