DONGGUAN, China, June 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dogness (International) Corporation (“Dogness” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DOGZ), a developer and manufacturer of pet products in China, including smart products, hygiene products, health and wellness products, and leash products, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first six months of fiscal year 2019 ended December 31, 2018.
First Half of Fiscal Year 2019 Financial Highlights (compared to prior year period unless stated otherwise)
- Total sales decreased by 13.5% to $12.8 million from $14.8 million.
- Gross profit decreased by 23.0% to $4.6 million from $6.0 million. Gross margin decreased to 36.1% from 40.5%.
- Income from operations decreased by 97.0% to $0.1 million from $3.7 million. Operating margin decreased to 0.9% from 25.1%.
- Net income decreased by 75% to $0.7 million from $2.9 million. Fully diluted net income per share decreased to $0.03 from $0.18.
Mr. Aaron (Silong) Chen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dogness, commented, “Despite the challenges and uncertainties that we faced due to the ongoing trade disputes between China and the United States during the first half of fiscal 2019, we were able to maintain our profitability. While we remain committed to expanding our position in the U.S. market, as demonstrated by the grand opening of our U.S. headquarters in Texas in November, we broadened our sales strategy to pursue opportunities in the growing Chinese domestic market and further expanded into more countries in Europe. In addition, we increased sales of higher-margin products in our traditional product categories and were able to grow sales of our new intelligent pet products more than eight fold since the previous reporting period.”
“For the remainder of the fiscal year, we will continue to adapt to the macro environment while focusing on our growth through technological innovation, new product development, international expansion, and strategic partnerships,” concluded Mr. Chen.
Unaudited Financial Results for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2018
Revenues
Revenues decreased by approximately $2.0 million, or 13.5%, to $12.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018, from approximately $14.8 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a sales volume decrease of 10.3% and a decrease in average selling price of 3.6% compared to the same period of fiscal 2018. The decrease in sales volume was mainly due to the negative impact of a 10% tariff increase during the six months ended December 31, 2018, on some of the Company’s products as a result of the trade dispute between China and the United States. The tariff led to reduced purchase orders from several of the Company’s major customers located in the United States.

The Company’s export sales to the United States decreased approximately $3.1 million, or 51.2%, during the first half of fiscal 2019, compared to the same period of fiscal 2018. Due to the uncertainties and higher tariff created by the trade dispute, the Company’s major customers in the United States reduced purchase orders by approximately 1.0 million units, or 19%, compared to the same period of fiscal 2018.
The Company increased its marketing activities and sales efforts in the domestic market in the wake of the growing pet consumption market in China. Sales in China were also supported by favorable government activity, such as increasing local enforcement of regulations in which pet owners are required to keep dogs on leashes. Total sales in the Company’s domestic market increased by approximately $1.0 million, or 14.2%, compared to the same period of fiscal 2018.
The Company also expanded its sales channels to more European countries, such as Germany, Poland, Greece, Bulgaria and Ireland. The Company’s export sales to Europe increased by $308,488, or 32.4%, for the six months ended December 31, 2018, compared to the same period of last year.
The Company’s increase in sales in China and Europe partially offset the decreased sales in the United States.

The Company’s pet collars, pet leashes, gift suspenders, and pet harnesses continued to account for the greatest percentages of total sales. Sales of the Company’s retractable dog leashes slightly decreased from 6.2% of the Company’s total sales for the six months ended December 31, 2017, to 5.9% of the Company’s total sales for the six months ended December 31, 2018, due to decreased sales volume as affected by reduced export sales to the United States. The Company launched its intelligent pet products in March 2018, which accounted for 4.4% of the Company’s total sales during the first half of fiscal 2019. The Company had no such sales in the same period of fiscal 2018.
Pet leashes
Revenue from pet leashes decreased by approximately $0.2 million, or 7.0%, from $3.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017, to $3.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The decrease was mainly driven by a 41.0% decrease in sales volume during the period, which was offset by an increase in average unit price due to an increase in higher-cost leather dog leashes being sold. The decrease was due to reduced purchase orders from major customers located in the United States.
Pet collars
Revenue from pet collars decreased by approximately $2.1 million, or 37.8%, from $5.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017, to $3.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in revenue was due to a 41.3% decrease in sales volume during the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Company’s exports of pet collars decreased 43.9% for the six months ended December 31, 2018, compared to the prior year period due to reduced purchase orders from major customers located in the United States. The average selling price for pet collars remained consistent compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Pet harnesses
Revenue from pet harnesses decreased by approximately $0.7 million, or 28.2%, from $2.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017, to $1.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in revenue was due to a 19.3% decrease in sales volume during the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Company’s exports of pet harnesses decreased 56.4% for the six months ended December 31, 2018, compared to the prior year period due to reduced purchase orders from major customers located in the United States. The average selling price for pet harnesses decreased by $0.3 per unit compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year due to promotional activity.
Gift suspenders
Revenue from gift suspenders increased by approximately $0.4 million, or 20.2%, from $1.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017, to $2.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018. The increase in revenue was due to a 14.5% increase in sales volume during the six months ended December 31, 2018. The Company’s export for gift suspender sales increased 60.8% for the six months ended December 31, 2018, compared to the prior year period. The average selling price for gift suspenders remained consistent.
Retractable dog leashes
Revenue from retractable dog leashes decreased by 17.1%, to approximately $0.8 million during the six months ended December 31, 2018, from $0.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017. The decrease in revenue was attributable to a 17.6% decrease in the sales volume during the six months ended December 31, 2018, due to reduced purchase orders from major customers located in the United States.
Intelligent pet products
Revenue from intelligent pet products amounted to approximately $0.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018, compared to nil for the prior year period. A new product line launched in March 2018, the Company’s intelligent pet product line includes app-controlled pet food containers and feeders, pet water containers and dispensers, and smart pet toys. Compared to other products, intelligent pet products typically have higher selling prices. The Company intends to focus on new, smart, and innovative pet products and expect the sales of intelligent pet products to continue to increase in the near future.
Other pet accessories
Other pet accessories include various comfort wrap harnesses, pet muzzles, metal chain traffic leashes, pet belt and ropes, and others, which are normally customized to fulfill customers’ purchase orders. Revenue from other pet accessories increased by 39.7%, to approximately $1 million during the six months ended December 31, 2018, from $0.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017. The increase in revenue was attributable to a 57.0% increase in the sales volume.
Sales to related party
During the six months ended December 31, 2018, the Company invested RMB 2.0 million to eventually acquire 10% of the ownership interest in Dogness Network Technology Co., Ltd (“Dogness Network”) in order to develop new products and new technologies in smart pet tech. The Company sold certain intelligent pet products to Dogness Network and accordingly reported related party sales of $206,052, which accounted for 1.6% of the Company’s total revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2018.

Gross profit
During the six months ended December 31, 2018, gross profit decreased by approximately $1.4 million to approximately $4.6 million, from approximately $6.0 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decreased sales volume of the Company’s pet leashes, pet collars, pet harnesses, and retractable dog leashes, in addition to increased cost of revenue due to an increase in sales of pet leashes and pet collars made of higher-cost leather materials. Overall gross profit margin was 36.1%, a decrease of 4.4%, compared to 40.5% in the prior year period.

Gross margins for pet leashes, pet collars, and gift suspenders decreased by 1.9%, 4.8% and 7.8%, respectively, compared to the same period in fiscal 2018. Raw material costs increased in conjunction with the increase in production of more leather products instead of fabric products. Salary expenses also increased due to higher labor costs.
Gross margins for pet harnesses and other pet accessories decreased by 3.4% and 10.1%, respectively, compared to the same period in fiscal 2018. The decrease was mainly due to lower average unit selling prices as part of promotional activity.
The gross margin for retractable dog leashes increased by 5.2% compared to the same period in fiscal 2018. The increase was mainly a result of improved materials and functionality of the Company’s retractable dog leash products, which reduced the cost of production per unit.
Gross margin for the Company’s intelligent pet products was 34.5% during the six months ended December 31, 2018, as expected.
Selling expenses
Selling expenses primarily included expenses incurred for participating in various trade shows to promote product sales, salary and sales commission expenses paid to the Company’s sales personnel, customs clearance charges for product exports, and shipping and delivery expenses. Selling expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 117.1%, from $0.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017, to $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018.

The increase was mainly due to increased salaries of approximately $0.3 million due to higher labor costs and increased public company related fees such as auditing fees, IR fees, legal counsel fees, capital market advisory fees, as well as notarization fees. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $700,000 in one-time expenses in connection with its U.S. headquarters. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses were 22.0% and 10.7% of total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses were 4.2% and 1.1% of total revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase was due to the Company’s continued efforts to develop cutting edge smart products as well as to improve some of the functions and exterior designs of the Company’s existing products in order to meet customer demand. The Company expects such expenses to continue to increase as research and development activities increase.
Other income (expense)

For the six months ended December 31, 2018, other income was approximately $0.9 million compared to an expense of $0.3 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

The decrease was consistent with the decrease in the Company’s taxable income for the six months ended December 31, 2018.
