"Our first quarter results, which were highlighted by strong revenue growth and a significant improvement in operating profit, represent a very encouraging start to the year," said Joe Megibow, Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to experience increasing demand for our differentiated product offering, especially through our wholesale channel as the combination of door expansion and strong sell-through is fueling healthy year-over-year gains. At the same time, we've made further progress improving execution throughout the organization. This includes addressing identified inefficiencies in our manufacturing, supply chain and fulfillment processes as well as increasing our marketing effectiveness. Looking ahead, we are focused on building on our recent accomplishments and implementing new initiatives to ensure the Company is best positioned to profitably grow market share and generate increased shareholder value."
First Quarter 2019 Review
First quarter 2019 net revenue increased 37.7% to $83.6 million, compared to $60.8 million in the first quarter of 2018. The increase in net revenue was driven by continued wholesale door expansion combined with higher replenishment orders following strong sell-through.
Gross margin for the first quarter 2019 was 40.7% compared to 42.5% in the year ago period. The decrease was primarily due to a shift in sales mix to more sales with wholesale pricing. First quarter 2019 gross margins exceeded internal expectations driven by leveraging fixed costs on higher production volumes and improved efficiencies within the supply chain process.
Operating expenses were $29.3 million in the first quarter 2019 compared to $29.4 million in the prior year period. As a percent of sales, operating expenses improved to 35.0% compared with 48.4% in the year ago period driven by improved efficiencies in marketing initiatives, a decrease in merger transaction costs, and a shift of approximately $3 million of discretionary marketing investments until later in 2019.
Operating income was $4.8 million, compared to an operating loss of $(3.6) million in the prior year period. Adjusted operating income was $5.5 million compared to an adjusted operating loss of $(1.2) million in first quarter 2018. Adjusted operating income (loss) excludes merger transactions costs, equity incentive compensation, legal fees, interim CFO costs, severance and CEO search costs.
Net loss was $(0.7) million for the first quarter 2019 compared to a net loss of $(4.3) million in the year ago period.
EBITDA for the first quarter 2019 was $0.9 million compared to $(3.1) million in the first quarter 2018. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes merger transactions costs, debt extinguishment and warrant liability, equity incentive compensation, legal fees, interim CFO costs, severance and CEO search costs, was $6.2 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $(0.8) million in the last year period.
Additional Financing
On February 25, 2019, stockholders voted in favor of the Company amending and restating its credit agreement to provide $10.0 million of additional financing.
In conjunction with the amended and restated credit agreement, the Company determined that the amended debt terms resulted in a substantial change in the existing debt terms for the two lenders that participated in both the original and additional financing. As a result, the change in terms for these two lenders are required to be accounted for as an extinguishment of the portion of the original debt agreement related to those lenders. Accordingly, the Company recognized a loss on the extinguishment of a portion of the existing debt of approximately $6.3 million. This non-cash expense is primarily associated with the recognition of related unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs and recognition of the fair value of the incremental loan warrants issued.
The incremental loan warrants issued in conjunction with the amended and restated credit agreement are classified as liabilities and recorded at fair value on the date of the transaction and subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date with changes in the fair value included in earnings. The change in fair value from the date of the transaction resulted in a non-cash gain in the amount of $1.7 million recorded in earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Balance Sheet
As of March 31, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $12.2 million consistent with the balance at December 31, 2018. Inventories as of March 31, 2019 totaled $25.3 million compared with $22.9 million as of December 31, 2018.
Outlook
For 2019, the Company continues to expect net revenue to range from $350 million to $375 million, an increase of 22% to 31% over 2018, and adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $3 million to $8 million.
