GAIAM Reports Second Quarter 2015 Results

Net Revenue Increases 27% to $41.1 Million

BOULDER, CO -- (Marketwired) -- 08/06/15 -- GAIAM, Inc. (NASDAQ: GAIA), a leading lifestyle company for yoga, fitness and wellness products and conscious content, reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Second Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights vs. Prior Year

  • Net revenue increased 27% to $41.1 million
  • Income from operations improved by $3.2 million
  • Year-to-date net cash flows from operating activities improved $10.4 million
  • Balance sheet at quarter end had $18.4 million of cash with no debt

"Our strategy to focus on GAIAM yoga, fitness and wellness continues to drive growth in our business," said Lynn Powers, CEO of GAIAM. "Our second quarter results included the successful April launch of our exclusive Kohl's apparel line, which continues to exceed our expectations. Excluding this new revenue stream along with sales from our largest customer, revenue from our top 25 customers increased 30%, demonstrating the strength of our brands beyond just apparel. Revenue from the GAIAM branded business excluding our non-wholly owned subsidiaries was up 37% in the quarter.

"As we look to the second half of the year, we remain well-positioned to execute our major growth initiatives, which include apparel, wellness, as well as demographic and international expansion. We launched our kid's yoga line at Target in July and it is selling well. In addition, strong demand for our wellness line is expected to add between 500 and 1,000 new doors in the second half of the year, including Vitamin Shoppe. With our largest account back in stock, new line launches and continued strong sell through at our retail accounts, we are well-positioned for our fall/holiday season."

Net revenue in the second quarter of 2015 increased 27% to $41.1 million compared to $32.5 million in the same year-ago quarter. GAIAM Brand net revenue in the second quarter increased 26% to $37.9 million compared to the year-ago quarter.

Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2015 decreased 2% to $18.2 million compared to $18.6 million in the year-ago quarter. As a percentage of net revenue, operating expenses declined to 44.2% compared to 57.4% in the year-ago quarter due to the increase in revenue.

Income from operations in the second quarter was $23,000 compared to a loss from operations of $3.2 million in the year-ago quarter. The loss from operations for GAIAM TV improved 44% to $1.1 million from $1.9 million in the year-ago quarter.

Net loss for the second quarter was $1.1 million or $(0.05) per share, compared to a net loss of $2.4 million or $(0.10) per share in the year-ago quarter. The second quarter of 2015 included approximately $1.1 million in costs associated with litigation from the sale of GVE Newco to Cinedigm in 2013. The year-ago period included approximately $1.0 million of gains from the sale of investments.

At June 30, 2015, cash totaled $18.4 million compared to $15.8 million at December 31, 2014. The company continues to carry no debt.

GAIAM Chairman Jirka Rysavy stated: "We are pleased with the 27% internal revenue growth for the quarter and the year-to-date $10.4 million improvement in cash flow from operations. In addition, GAIAM TV reached the breakeven point before the end of the quarter and we expect the third quarter to be profitable."

GAIAM filed a Form-10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission related to the proposed separation of the company's GAIAM TV media subscription unit from the GAIAM-branded business into two separate publicly traded companies. GAIAM currently expects the separation to take place in the form of a tax-free spin-off to shareholders. The company may, at any time and for any reason until the proposed spin-off is complete, abandon, modify or change the terms of its contemplated spin-off. GAIAM TV is a global digital video streaming service that provides curated conscious media content to its subscribers in over 100 countries. Over 90% of its 7,000 titles are available for streaming exclusively on GAIAM TV through almost any device connected to the Internet.
