Tools

Posted November 9, 2010

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ZAGG Inc. (NASDAQ: ZAGG) (www.ZAGG.com), a leading producer of mobile electronics accessories including the popular invisibleSHIELD® and ZAGGaudio™ brands, today announced record financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

  • Revenue for Q3 2010 was a record $23.1 million versus $9.7 million for Q3 2009, and $15.1 million for Q2 2010.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2010 was $6.4 million or $0.27 per share versus $1.7 million or $0.07 per fully diluted share for Q3 2009, and $3.5 million or $0.15 per fully diluted share for Q2 2010.
  • Net income for Q3 2010 was $3.9 million or $0.16 per fully diluted share versus $0.9 million or $0.04 per share for Q3 2009, and $1.9 million or $0.08 per fully diluted share for Q2 2010.

Financial Results

Revenue for Q3 2010 was $23.1 million, versus $9.7 million for Q3 2009, an increase of 137% from the same quarter in 2009. Revenue for the quarter was up sequentially due to continued sales growth in our current distribution channels and the addition of new distribution channels.

Gross profit for Q3 2010 was $11.6 million, or 50% of sales, compared to $5.2 million, or 54% of sales for Q3 2009, and $7.6 million or 50% of sales for Q2 2010.

Net income for Q3 2010 was $3.9 million or $0.16 per share as compared to net income of $0.9 million or $0.04 per share for Q3 2009, and $1.9 million or $0.08 per share for Q2 2010.

“This quarter we benefited from new distribution channels, the popularity of recent devices such as the iPad and the iPhone 4 from Apple and other new mobile device introductions, additional distribution of other ZAGG accessories, as well as continued strength in our internet sales,” said Robert G. Pedersen II, President and CEO of ZAGG. “We continue to see strong demand for our products across all our existing channels and partners including Best Buy. Our newest channel partner in the third quarter, AT&T, has seen robust response to our products in their stores, and this will be an important relationship in our future growth strategy.”

Business highlights

In the quarter ZAGG announced new distribution agreements with Staples and AT&T, and saw continued expansion of ZAGG products into established resellers such as Best Buy, Cincinnati Bell and RadioShack. New mobile device introductions in the quarter, such as the very popular Apple iPhone 4 and the HTC Evo, drove sales of ZAGG invisibleSHIELD, ZAGGskins, and accessories to record highs. Additionally, ZAGG continued to see very strong sales of all their iPad-related products in the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA

ZAGG considers earnings before other income or expense; income tax provision or benefit; impairment losses; depreciation and amortization; and share-based compensation expense related to stock and stock options (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to be important financial indicators of the Company’s operational strength and the performance of its business. These results should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), but should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.

A reconciliation of the differences between Adjusted EBITDA and the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is presented under the heading “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information to GAAP” immediately following the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations included below.

The difference between Adjusted EBITDA per share, a non-GAAP measure, and GAAP EPS, is interest, income tax provision or benefit, depreciation and amortization, impairment losses, share-based compensation and other non-cash charges.

Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2010 was $6.4 million or $0.27 per share versus $1.7 million or $0.07 per share for Q3 2009, and $3.5 million or $0.15 per share in Q2 2010.

Conference Call

  • A conference call will be held today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time to review these results. Participants may access the call via the Internet at the event website and on the Company website at: www.ZAGG.com.
