JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Margo Caribe, Inc. (OTC SYMBOL: MRGO) (Margo), a market leader in the home and garden segment, today announced third quarter operating results of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Margo Outdoor Living, Inc. for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Net sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, totaled $10.2 million, down 5 percent from the third quarter last year. Year-to-date net sales for the period ended September 30, 2022, totaled $40.6 million, 8 percent lower than the same period last year. The Company reported unaudited results including pre-tax income of approximately $299 thousand for the third quarter and $6.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 2022.
Michael Spector, CEO, commenting on sales trends: "the decline in year-over-year sales can be primarily attributed to a single customer choosing to discontinue a transactional program initiated in 2021. Excluding this customer, total sales declined approximately 2.5 percent on a year-to-date basis, which is more in line with our industry segment averages. Sales to our large "big-box" customers have been impacted by their carrying of higher-than-normal inventory and the impact current economic conditions have had on discretionary spending".
Mr. Spector added, "our operating margins this year were impacted by higher labor costs, a historic spike in sea freight rates and elevated diesel fuel prices. Looking forward, we expect immediate relief from recent margin compression as sea freight rates continue to trend towards historical averages; current Asian freight quotes are down approximately 60 percent since the end of 2021. We see definitive progress being made in broadening our product offering and diversifying our geographic supplier distribution network. Specifically, sales growth opportunities exist for expanding our pottery segment sales using South American and European suppliers, our pebble tile segment and building on the success of our own e-commerce sales, up 75 percent year-to-date, primarily targeting the pro-business component of our industry segment."
