Management Commentary

“During fiscal 2018 we experienced a 9% growth in sales of manufactured products, including a 23% increase in Jaxx branded products to $3.7 million, and a 53% increase in Avana branded products to $2.4 million,” said Luvu Brands President and CEO, Louis Friedman. “Excluding the $2 million of sales of discontinued imported products from Japan that were included in fiscal 2017, the year-over-year increase in total net sales would have been approximately 10%. Our focus in fiscal 2019 continues to be on improving our production efficiencies and gross profit margins and ramping up production in order to keep pace with the continued demand”, added Mr. Friedman.

Use of Non-GAAP Measure – Adjusted EBITDA

Luvu Brands management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various financial metrics. In addition to the Company's GAAP results, management also considers the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted EBITDA. While Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance in accordance with GAAP, management believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information about the Company's operating results.  The table below provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) from continuing operations before interest, depreciation and amortization expenses, excluding, when applicable, stock-based compensation expense, and loss on disposal of fixed assets.
