Second Quarter Financial Highlights:

Adjusted net income was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, as compared to adjusted net loss of $0.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, in the corresponding period in 2015.
Consolidated EBITDA was $5.2 million, as compared to $4.4 million for the corresponding 2015 period.

Gross margin was $83.5 million, or 36.5%, as compared to $88.4 million, or 37.1%, for the corresponding period in 2015.
Loss from operations was $5.5 million, as compared to a loss of $3.2 million, for the corresponding period in 2015.
Net loss was $5.5 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, as compared to a loss of $3.8 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the 2015 period.
Adjusted net loss was $3.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, as compared to a loss of $2.5 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the 2015 period.
Consolidated EBITDA was $5.5 million, as compared to $6.9 million for the corresponding 2015 period.
Equity in losses, net of taxes, was $0.1 million, as compared to equity in earnings, net of taxes, of $0.3 million in the corresponding 2015 period.
Jeffrey Siegel, Lifetime's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented,
“As we previously have noted, Lifetime’s business is heavily weighted to the second half of the year. Our results for this quarter generally were in line with our expectations. Consolidated net sales decreased modestly, reflecting the timing of shipments. This decrease was offset by an increase in our overall gross margin percentage and by lower distribution and SG&A expenses, resulting in positive adjusted net income, as compared to adjusted net loss in the corresponding period in 2015. Consolidated EBITDA increased to $5.2 million, as compared to $4.4 million in the prior year’s quarter.
“We have now commenced the implementation phase of the restructuring plan that we initiated earlier this year with the assistance of a major international consulting firm to right size Lifetime’s SG&A expense base, realign our operating structure and improve the efficiency of our operating activities, and are confident that we are on track to achieve significant efficiencies that will be reflected in our operating results beginning in 2017.
“It is too early to assess the effects of the “Brexit” referendum on our U.K. subsidiaries, Creative Tops and Kitchen Craft, the net sales of which represent approximately 19% of Lifetime’s consolidated net sales. Through this year, we expect any such effects to be modest, as Creative Tops and Kitchen Craft were able to hedge their anticipated U.S. dollar purchases through the end of 2016. Moreover, by relying on Lifetime’s global sourcing infrastructure, Creative Tops and Kitchen Craft should be able to source products on better terms than their smaller competitors. Longer term, a prolonged decline in the value of the British pound would increase the cost of imports into the U.K. and could negatively affect the translation of financial results into U.S. dollars.
“As of now, we foresee a healthy holiday shopping season and expect top line growth in the second half of the year.”
Dividend
On Thursday, August 4, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.0425 per share payable on November 15, 2016 to shareholders of record on November 1, 2016.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows of the Company; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. As required by SEC rules, the Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are provided because management of the Company uses these financial measures in evaluating the Company's on-going financial results and trends, and management believes that exclusion of certain items allows for more accurate comparison of the Company’s operating performance. Management uses this non-GAAP information as an indicator of business performance. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, GAAP measures of performance.
