Live Ventures Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LIVE#NASDAQ">LIVE</a>) reported second-quarter FY24 sales growth of 30.2% year-on-year to $118.626 million,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/05/g38787786/live-ventures-reports-fiscal-second-quarter-2024-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the analyst consensus estimate of $105 million</a>.
&#8220;Our second quarter revenue increased 30.2% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by the strategic acquisitions of Flooring Liquidators, Inc. (&#8220;Flooring Liquidators&#8221;), and Precision Metal Works, Inc. (&#8220;PMW&#8221;), both of which were acquired in fiscal year 2023, as well as an increase in revenue in our Flooring Manufacturing segment,&#8221; said CFO David Verret.
Gross profit increased 12.2% to $35.5 million with a margin of 30%. Operating expenses for the quarter jumped 36.2% to $36.3 million.
The company incurred an operating loss of $(838,000) compared to an operating income of $4.9 million. The decrease in operating income is primarily attributable to the Retail-Flooring segment&#8217;s temporary inefficiencies associated with the acquisitions of Carpet Remnant Outlet, Inc. and Johnson Floor &amp; Home by Flooring Liquidators.
Adjusted EBITDA declined 51% Y/Y to $4.5 million with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 3.8%. EPS of $(1.04) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">missed the analyst consensus estimate of $1.50.</a>
The company repurchased 11,849 shares of its common stock at an average price of $25.16 per share in the quarter. Live Ventures held $4.5 million in cash and equivalents as of March-end.
Jon Isaac, President and Chief Executive Officer of Live Ventures, said, &#8220;Despite industry-specific headwinds, we are committed to adapting to market changes, maintaining operational efficiency, and enhancing customer satisfaction.&#8221;
