Management Comments
“Lakeland delivered solid second quarter results and continued to build on the Company’s momentum, particularly within our strategic product lines,” said Charlie Roberson, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our net sales grew significantly year-over-year, led by our higher-value strategic products, and we saw Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion as our teams executed our focused sales plan.”
“We remain committed to growing our share within higher-value product categories and markets, and this was demonstrated by the continued strong results we saw in our fire service and wovens product categories during the second quarter. Additionally, our team is developing and maintaining a robust acquisition pipeline as we seek opportunities that enhance Lakeland’s strategic product portfolio and leverage our geographic reach. We expect to drive increased penetration within high-value markets, putting Lakeland in a position to deliver on its long-term financial targets.”
Roger Shannon, Lakeland’s Chief Financial Officer, added, “We are very pleased to report continued strong revenue growth, gross margins above our long-term target, and most importantly, Adjusted EBITDA growth, largely as a result of our focus on strategic products and markets. Our balance sheet and financial position remain strong, which allows us to pursue our long-term growth strategy. We expect our improving financial performance to continue to support our capital allocation strategy, including strategic acquisitions, organic growth investments, and returning capital to shareholders.”

Fiscal 2024 Second Quarter Financial Results
Net sales were $33.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, as compared to $28.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. Sales of our fire service, high performance, high visibility and woven product lines increased by $7.0 million reflecting strengthening in the safety and industrial markets. Eagle contributed $3.4 million in fire service sales during the quarter. Our sales growth was partially offset by declines in our disposable and chemical product lines of $1.9 million, though we saw an increase in direct container activity at the end of the second quarter.
On a consolidated basis for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, domestic sales were $15.2 million or 46% of total revenues, and international sales were $17.9 million or 54% of total revenues. This compares with domestic sales of $11.9 million or 42% of the total and international sales of $16.3 million or 58% of the total in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. Strong sales growth in the US, Europe, and Latin America during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was partially offset by ongoing weakness in Asia, particularly China.
Gross profit was $14.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, an increase of $2.6 million, or 22.4%, compared to $11.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 42.9% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 as compared with 41.3% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. Gross profit performance during the quarter benefited from improving product mix, higher factory efficiencies, and lower freight expenses.
Lakeland reported operating profit of $3.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, compared to $1.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, due to increases in sales and higher gross margins. Operating expenses increased 6.1% from $9.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 to $10.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024. The increase is attributable to currency fluctuations, one-time expenses related to severance and start-up costs, increased depreciation and amortization and operating expenses related to the Eagle acquisition, and year-over-year labor cost increases. Operating margins were 11.2% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, compared to 6.4% for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023.
The Company reported net income of $2.5 million, or $0.33 per basic share and $0.32 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, compared with a net loss of ($0.9) million, or ($0.11) per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $4.2 million, compared with $2.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023.
During the fiscal 2024 second quarter, the Company repurchased approximately $0.1 million worth of common stock under its stock repurchase program. At July 31, 2023, approximately $5.0 million was available to the Company for the repurchase of its outstanding common stock.
On May 1, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share for the second quarter, which was paid on May 22, 2023, to stockholders of record as of May 15, 2023.

The financial data above includes non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Management excludes from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA all expenses for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and Other Income, which is comprised of interest income and gains (losses) from equity method investments. For Adjusted EBITDA management also excludes equity compensation, acquisition-related expenses, severance costs, and start-up costs for our Mexican operations. This press release also discusses Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by GAAP net sales.
Management excludes these items principally because such charges or benefits are not directly related to the Company’s ongoing core business operations. We use such non-GAAP measures in order to (1) make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s operations, both internally and externally, (2) guide management in assessing the performance of the business, internally allocating resources and making decisions in furtherance of the Company’s strategic plan, and (3) provide investors with a better understanding of how management plans and measures the business. The material limitations to management’s approach include the fact that the charges, benefits and expenses excluded are nonetheless charges, benefits and expenses required to be recognized under GAAP and, in some cases, consume cash, which reduces the Company's liquidity. Management compensates for these limitations primarily by reviewing GAAP results to obtain a complete picture of the Company's performance and by including a reconciliation of non-GAAP results to GAAP results in its earnings releases. Non-GAAP financial measures are not alternatives for measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures presented by other companies, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
