Koss Corp. Releases First Quarter Results

 

Milwaukee, Wisconsin: Koss Corporation (NASDAQ SYMBOL: KOSS), the U.S. based high-fidelity headphone company, has reported its first quarter results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

 

Sales for the first quarter were $5,208,295, which is a 3.7% decrease from sales of $5,410,762 for the same three month period one year ago. The three month net income was $126,928, compared to a net loss of $310,749 for the first quarter last year. Diluted and basic income per common share for the quarter was $0.02 compared to a loss per common share of $0.04 for the same three month period one year ago.

 

"The decline in net sales for the quarter was due to a decline in certain mass retailers in the U.S.," Michael J. Koss, Chairman and CEO, said today. "We experienced an increase in online direct-to-consumer sales driven by the continuation of people studying and working from home.  Additionally, we saw a rebound in our export markets, especially in Europe, and in many of our US based distributors."

 

"The sales mix was favorable to gross margin increasing it from 24.9% last year to 31.4% in the current quarter," Koss explained. "Early in this same quarter last year, there were significant promotional back-to-school sales to a domestic mass retail customer at very low margins.  This promotional activity accounted for the lower gross margin last year."
