CHARLES & COLVARD REPORTS SECOND QUARTER
AND TRANSITION PERIOD 2018 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

- Q2 2018 Online Channels Net Sales Growth of 49% -

- Significant Traction with Marketplaces and E-commerce Website -

- New Retail Agreements Provide Enhanced Customer Reach -

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. – September 6, 2018 – Charles & Colvard, Ltd. (Nasdaq: CTHR), the original and leading worldwide source of created moissanite, reported financial results for the second quarter and six-month transition period ended June 30, 2018. For the second quarter 2018, the Company reported net sales of $6.4 million and a $0.03 net loss per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company reported net sales of $13.2 million and a $0.06 net loss per share.

 

Suzanne Miglucci, President and CEO of Charles & Colvard, said, “As we continue our transformation to an e-commerce driven business, we are making steady progress in our key strategic initiative to grow sales in Online Channels. We generated a 49% increase in Online Channels net sales in the second quarter of 2018, fueled by 182% growth in marketplace sales. Our increased exposure through social networks, partnerships and the media is leading customers to online engagement, with customers purchasing our products across many channels, in particular, on Amazon and charlesandcolvard.com. We are also thrilled to enhance our online customer reach through two recent agreements, one with the world’s largest retailer, and a second with a national specialty off-price retailer offering designer and name-brand fashion merchandise.”

 

“We are growing retail sales through our partnership with brick-and-mortar retailers, despite an industry-wide challenging retail environment. Our proactive efforts to optimize our supply chain and control operating expenses, helped offset Traditional segment net sales which declined due to the impact of a single distributor who implemented a one-time change to their inventory management practices across vendors. As we prepare for the upcoming holiday season, we are encouraged by the exponentially growing interest in lab-created gemstones, especially amongst our core millennial customers,” Ms. Miglucci concluded.

The Company evaluates the financial performance of its segments based on net sales; product line gross profit, or the excess of product line net sales over product line cost of goods sold; and operating loss. Product line cost of goods sold is defined as product cost of goods sold, excluding non-capitalized expenses from the Company’s manufacturing and production control departments, comprising personnel costs, depreciation, rent, utilities, and corporate overhead allocations; freight out; inventory valuation allowance adjustments; and other inventory adjustments, comprising costs of quality issues, damaged goods, and inventory write-offs.
