MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
Dave Bruce, President and CEO of FGI, stated, "FGI reported total revenue of $29.4 million in the quarter, representing a year-over-year increase of 0.6%. Gross profit was $9.0 million, reflecting growth of 11.9% compared to the prior year. The gross margin improved to 30.5%, an increase of 310 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2023. The industry outlook remains relatively flat overall with our customers forecasting minimal growth in 2024. FGI's second quarter revenue was largely unchanged compared to second quarter 2023 results due, in part, to our transition to SAP enterprise software and overseas logistics challenges. Our Sanitaryware and Bath Furniture revenue declined 8% and 16% year-over-year, respectively. We expect the delayed shipments to be completed in the second half of the year. Shower Systems revenue increased by 37% year-over-year as demand trends remain steady and sales of both existing and new products continue to drive organic growth. Our Covered Bridge custom cabinet segment showed strong growth, increasing 66% year over year." Bruce continued, "Geographically, we remain optimistic about India and opened an office in India during the quarter. We are excited about our new product introductions and continue to invest in our brands and our future growth initiatives."
Perry Lin, Chief Financial Officer of FGI, commented, "FGI ended the second quarter with total available liquidity of $17.4 million. Our operating expenses increased due to investing in future growth combined with the effects of inflation and an increase in freight rates. We expect operating expenses to decline sequentially in the second half of the year as certain expenses incurred in the first half will not recur in the second half of the year. We continue to carefully monitor freight costs. We believe the best use of our capital is for internal investment and this will remain our priority in the near term."
SECOND QUARTER 2024 RESULTS
Revenue totaled $29.4 million during the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 0.6% compared to the prior-year period, driven by increased volume in Shower systems and a normalization of inventory levels.
- Sanitaryware revenue was $17.3 million during the second quarter of 2024, down from $18.8 million in the prior-year period. The revenue decrease was impacted by the delayed shipments in the second quarter.
- Bath Furniture revenue was $4.0 million during the second quarter of 2024, a decline from revenue of $4.8 million in the prior-year period. The bath furniture market continues to be impacted by macro headwinds and a trade-down to lower ticket products.
- Shower Systems revenue was $5.9 million during the second quarter of 2024, up from $4.3 million last year. The revenue increase was driven by recently launched programs and orders from a broader customer base.
- Other revenue, primarily from Kitchen Cabinets, was $2.1 million during the second quarter, up from $1.3 million in the prior year, driven by continued order momentum.
Gross profit was $9.0 million during the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 11.9% compared to last year, driven by growth in our higher margin products. Gross profit margin improved to 30.5% during the second quarter of 2024, up 310 basis points from the prior-year period.
Operating loss was ($0.5) million during the second quarter of 2024, down from $0.6 million in the prior-year period. Operating loss during the second quarter of 2024 included non-recurring expenses of $0.1 million for business expansion expense and accruals for non-recurring IPO- related stock-based compensation. Excluding these items, adjusted operating loss was ($0.3) million during the second quarter. The decline in operating income was a result of an increase in personnel costs, marketing and promotion expenses, warehouse expenses, and operating expenses tied to growth initiatives, as the Company continues to invest in its BPC growth strategy. As a result, adjusted operating margin was (1.1%) during the second quarter, down from 2.4% in the same period last year.
The Company reported GAAP net loss ($0.0) million, or ($0.00) per diluted share during the second quarter of 2024, versus net income of $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Net loss for the second quarter of 2024 included after-tax expenses of $0.1 million related to business expansion expense and accruals for non-recurring IPO- related stock-based compensation. Net loss for the second quarter of 2023 included after-tax expense of $0.1 million related to business expansion expense and non-recurring IPO- related compensation. Excluding these items, adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, versus adjusted net income of $0.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the same period last year.
FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $1.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, total debt of $9.7 million and $16.1 million of availability under its credit facilities net of letters of credit. Total liquidity was $17.4 million at June 30, 2024.

ABOUT FGI INDUSTRIES
FGI Industries Ltd. (Nasdaq: FGI) is a leading global supplier of kitchen and bath products. For over 30 years, we have built an industry-wide reputation for product innovation, quality, and excellent customer service. We are currently focused on the following product categories: sanitaryware (primarily toilets, sinks, pedestals, and toilet seats), bath furniture (vanities, mirrors and cabinets), shower systems, customer kitchen cabinetry and other accessory items. These products are sold primarily for repair and remodel activity and, to a lesser extent, new home or commercial construction. We sell our products through numerous partners, including mass retail centers, wholesale and commercial distributors, online retailers and specialty stores.
Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the measures presented in our consolidated financial statements, we use the following non-GAAP measures to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business and assist us in making strategic decisions. Our non-GAAP measures are: Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margins and Adjusted Net Income. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). They are supplemental financial measures of our performance only, and should not be considered substitutes for net income, income from operations or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other entities. We define Adjusted Operating Income as GAAP income from operations excluding the impact of certain non-recurring expenses, including expenses related to COVID‑19 protocols, non-recurring compensation expenses related to our IPO, and one-time anti-dumping penalty expenses. We define Adjusted Net Income as GAAP net income excluding the tax-effected impact of certain non-recurring expenses and income such as expenses related to COVID‑19 protocols, unusual litigation fees and non-recurring compensation expenses related to our IPO. We define Adjusted Operating Margins as adjusted income from operations divided by revenue.
We use these non-GAAP measures, along with U.S. GAAP measures, to evaluate our business, measure our financial performance and profitability and our ability to manage expenses, after adjusting for certain one-time expenses, identify trends affecting our business and assist us in making strategic decisions. We believe these non-GAAP measures, when reviewed in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial measures, and not in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations under U.S. GAAP, are useful to investors as they are widely used measures of performance and the adjustments we make to these non-GAAP measures provide investors further insight into our profitability and additional perspectives in comparing our performance over time on a consistent basis. With respect to the Company's expectations of its future performance, the Company's reconciliations of full year 2024 Adjusted Operating Income and 2024 Adjusted Net Income are not available, as the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts to the degree of precision that would be required in the relevant GAAP measures without unreasonable effort.
