Rob Kay, Lifetime’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We delivered strong third quarter performance driven by the continued rebound of our core U.S. business and supported by our ongoing focus on actions to drive growth and profitability in a dynamic operating environment. As recovery in our core U.S. business accelerates and retailer purchasing behavior continues to normalize, we expect to see sustained positive trends in shipment and ordering activity. Though international end markets remain under pressure, the traction we are gaining through the continued execution of our strategy gives us confidence in our ability to drive growth and profitability in the future.”
Mr. Kay continued, “Based on our third quarter results and positive forward momentum as we enter the fourth quarter, we are raising the low end of our full year 2023 guidance. We now expect net sales in the range of $670 to $690 million and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $52 to $55 million. With a leading portfolio of brands, an increasingly resilient and disciplined business model, and a strong financial foundation, we are well-positioned to bolster our strong market share position and unlock value for our shareholders.
