ICTV Brands, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2017 Finan

WAYNE, PA--(Marketwired - May 15, 2017) - ICTV Brands, Inc. ( OTCQX : ICTV ), ( CSE : ITV ), a digitally focused direct response marketing and international branding company focused on the health, wellness and beauty sector, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

First Quarter 2017 Highlights:

• Delivered revenue of approximately $7.65M, up 105% compared to the prior year quarter.
• Achieved positive Adjusted EBITDA of $322.9K, up 190% compared to prior year quarter.
• Total assets increased to approximately $20.8M up from approximately $4.5M at December 31, 2016, which includes approximately $8.0M in inventory and approximately $4.9M in cash and equivalents.
• Began to successfully integrate newly acquired assets.
• Expanding DermaWand distribution into US retail, UK retail, Hong Kong and certain airlines.

Management Commentary: Richard Ransom, President, stated, "I am very pleased with our performance and execution this quarter. Our team has worked tirelessly to integrate a substantial acquisition, of both assets and personnel. The 105% increase in sales from the prior year quarter, with just over two months of having these assets under ICTV's control, is a testament to the readiness of our very talented team to quickly integrate these new assets into ICTV's global sales platform. In addition, expense levels were higher this quarter, due to acquisition related expenses and integration expenses. I fully expect these expenses to level off in the future, and operating margins to expand from current levels. Our balance sheet is the strongest that is has been in years and enables us to operate from a position of strength. Our improved working capital dynamic, fueled by increases in both cash and inventory, positions ICTV to successfully convert this inventory to sales in the coming quarters. Our cash balance provides us tremendous flexibility as we execute on our strategic plan for 2017."

Reported Financial Results: First Quarter 2017 Compared to First Quarter 2016: Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were approximately $7.6 million, compared to approximately $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we generated approximately $5.5 million in gross profit, compared to approximately $2.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 as a result of the addition of the no!no!™, Kyrobak™ and Cleartouch™ products acquired in January 2017. Gross profit margin was 72% in the first quarter 2017 compared to 68% in the prior year quarter. The increase in gross margin percentage is mainly attributable to changes in product mix as we bring additional sales to market both domestically and internationally. Total operating expenses increased to approximately $5.9 million from approximately $2.6 million during the first quarter of 2016. The largest factor is an increase in media expenditures. Media expenditures were approximately $1.6 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In addition, internet marketing expense which increased to approximately $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from approximately $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, as well as payroll expenses increased to approximately $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 from approximately $0.4 million as a result of additional employees through the acquisition and consulting expenses increased to approximately $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to approximately $64,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Finally, total share based compensation expenses increased to approximately $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017, from approximately $0.1 million for the prior year quarter.

Net loss for the first quarter was approximately ($368,000), compared to a net loss of approximately ($89,000) in the prior year quarter. The resulting EPS is ($0.01), as compared to ($0.00) in the comparable quarter a year earlier. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) was approximately $323,000 as compared to loss of approximately $111,000. 

Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2017

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $4.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $7.0 million in working capital compared to approximately $1.4 million and approximately $1.3 million as of December 31, 2016, respectively. Included in our cash balance of approximately $4.9 million at March 31, 2017, was $1.75 million that was subsequently paid to PhotoMedex in April 2017 to satisfy the cash payment due to PhotoMedex as detailed in the terms of our asset purchase agreement. Additionally, the Company believes that our current cash will be sufficient to meet the anticipated cash needs for working capital for at least the next twelve months.
