2024-10-17 Dogness (International) Corporation HaiPress

PLANO,Texas,Oct. 17,2024 -- Dogness (International) Corporation ("Dogness" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: DOGZ),a developer and manufacturer of a comprehensive line of Dogness-branded,OEM and private label pet products,today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30,2024.

Silong Chen,Chief Executive Officer of Dogness,commented: "We continue to face challenges due to intense competition in the domestic market and the ongoing trade dispute between China and the United States,which are impacting and will likely continue impacting our domestic and export sales in the near future. In fiscal 2024,Dogness experienced intensified competition and a complex macro environment,which posed challenges to the Company resulting in a 15.6% revenue decline. Our gross profit for fiscal 2024 decreased to approximately $3.1 million,reflecting a 14.7% decline,primarily due to lower sales volumes in intelligent pet products. However,we effectively reduced our selling expenses by approximately $1.3 million and general and administrative expenses by $2.0 million,enhancing our operational efficiency. As a result,our overall gross profit margin improved slightly to 21.0%,up from 20.8% in fiscal 2023."

"Looking ahead,we are committed to leveraging our strengths in traditional pet products to capture additional market share,particularly in international markets where we see significant growth potential. We are also exploring new product lines and enhancements to our intelligent pet products,aiming to align them with consumer trends and preferences. Our commitment to sustainability will drive our research and development efforts,focusing on eco-friendly materials and advanced technologies that resonate with our customer base."

"Thanks to these strategic initiatives,our net loss improved by approximately $1.4 million,or 18.8%,decreasing from $7.5 million in fiscal 2023 to $6.1 million in fiscal 2024. We appreciate the continued support of our stakeholders as we strive for sustainable growth and profitability in the coming years,which we believe will positionDogness as a leader in the pet products industry."

Traditional Pet Products

Revenue from traditional pet products rose by approximately $0.7 million or 8.7%,from $8.3 million in fiscal 2023 to $9.0 million in fiscal 2024. This increase was primarily due to higher sales volume,with $1.2 million coming from overseas markets,offset by a $0.5 million decline in the Chinese domestic market.

Intelligent Pet Products

Revenue from intelligent pet products fell by approximately $3.0 million,or 40.8%,from $7.4 million in fiscal 2023 to $4.4 million in fiscal 2024. This decline was driven by a 33.1% drop in sales volume and a $2.3 decrease in average selling price per unit. The Chinese market accounted for a $0.8 million decrease,while overseas markets contributed to a $2.2 million decline,as the pet product industry is facing reduced consumer spending on non-essential intelligent pet products items.

Climbing Hooks and Others

Revenue from climbing hooks and other products decreased by approximately $0.5 million,or 25.0%,from $1.8 million in fiscal 2023 to $1.4 million in fiscal 2024,mainly due to lower sales volume.

Domestic sales decreased by approximately $1.5 million,or 24.4% to around $4.8 million,driven by reduced customer orders caused by intense competition in the domestic market. Domestic sales of traditional and intelligent pet products declined by 19.8% and 27.7% respectively in the domestic market.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues decreased by approximately $2.2 million or 15.8%,from approximately $13.9 million in fiscal 2023 to approximately $11.7 million in fiscal 2024.
