SECOND QUARTER REPORT
[GRAPHIC]
DSG INTERNATIONAL second quarter report
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
SECOND QUARTER 2001
AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
To our Shareholders:
We are pleased to announce our second quarter and first half 2001 results.
DSG INTERNATIONAL POSTS Q2 REVENUE GAIN OF 60.5%
Net loss due primarily to non-recurring factors
Net sales for the quarter increased 60.5% to $82.3 million, compared to $51.3
million for the second quarter last year. Net loss for the quarter was $5.1
million, or $0.76 per share, compared to net income of $700,000, or $0.10 per
share, for the same period last year. The loss was due primarily to lower gross
margins on finished goods acquired from Drypers North America, increase selling,
general and administrative expense and restructuring costs as a result of the
Drypers acquisition and foreign exchange losses.
Brandon Wang, Chairman, said, "Even though we incurred a net loss in the
quarter, we are extremely satisfied with the quantum leap in revenue growth,
which will lead to future profitability. Our run rate has more than doubled in
North America and we saw sales in our Southeastern Asia markets increase by 27%
over last year."
"Many of the factors that resulted in the loss are temporary or one-time
conditions," said Wang. "For instance, the lower margins caused by inventory
acquired at net realizable value from Drypers will not be a continuing factor.
Much of the selling, general and administrative expense increase, as a
percentage of sales, resulted from our integration programs for the Drypers
operations. As our efficiencies increase, we should actually see a lower rate of
selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of sales. We do
expect additional integration-related charges in the third quarter, which should
be the final ones resulting from the acquisition. Overall, we're very pleased
with our progress, especially with the dramatic increase in our market presence.
We believe DSG International is on plan to restore profitability."
Gross margin for the second quarter was 30.0% compared to 32.1% for the year ago
period. Selling, general and administrative expense, as a percentage of sales,
increased to 32.2% compared to 29.2% for the same period in 2000. As a result of
the financing of the Drypers acquisition, interest expense increased to $2.1
million during the second quarter. The exchange loss of $500,000 was attributed
to the fluctuation of Thai, Indonesian and Australian currencies against the
U.S. dollar.
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, net sales were $142.1 million, an
increase of 32.6% over the $107.1 million for the first half of 2000. Net loss
for the period was $5.2 million, or $0.78 per share, compared to net income of
$2.3 million, or $0.34 per share for the same period last year.
