Total Revenue Increased 17% YoY to a Second Quarter Record
Specialty Foodservice Increased 148% YoY and Up 49% QoQ
BONITA SPRINGS, Fla., Aug. 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: IVFH) (“IVFH” or the “Company”), a leading direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform with complete multi-channel, specialty food and grocery capabilities for both consumers and professional chefs, today reported its financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2021.
“We are thrilled by the return to year-over-year growth within our specialty foodservice operations, which helped produce record second-quarter revenues and a 17% increase over the prior year period. Our foodservice business increased 148% despite continued uncertainty related to increasing COVID-19 cases. In addition, IVFH’s agile operations, strong supplier network, and leading procurement teams allowed the Company to navigate unprecedented industry-wide supply chain challenges during the second quarter. We continue to leverage our strong platform and leading service-oriented culture to help our foodservice customers and e-commerce partners navigate rapidly evolving market conditions,” stated Sam Klepfish, CEO of Innovative Food Holdings.
“As expected, second quarter e-commerce sales were down compared to last year’s heightened level during the COVID-19 pandemic. Compared to pre-covid levels, second quarter e-commerce sales were up 84% from the 2019 second quarter and have grown 113% from the 2019 first half. In addition, our average order value continues to experience improving trends throughout our e-commerce platform. Our growth-oriented e-commerce strategies remain focused on pursuing additional partnerships, creating new transformative verticals, and introducing additional subscription-based products. We are also differentiating our brands and creating heightened awareness of our unique value propositions, while leveraging our leading digitally enabled, plug-and-play, direct-to-consumer platform. The progress we are making is encouraging, and I am excited by the positive momentum underway across our strong distribution channels, especially as we prepare for the seasonally strong holiday season.”
“We are also focused on transforming our operations, controlling costs, and returning to profitability. During the second quarter our gross margin improved from the first quarter, and we continue to prudently control SG&A expenses. We are working to leverage our fixed expenses and labor costs and, as a percent of revenue, SG&A expenses were the lowest level since 2019. I believe we have a significant opportunity to leverage our cost structure and further improve efficiencies as our business scales,” concluded Mr. Klepfish.
Financial Results
Revenues in the 2021 second quarter increased 17% to $14.0 million, compared to $12.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Second-quarter revenue benefitted from an 148% increase in specialty foodservice revenue, which was driven by the nationwide opening of restaurants and other foodservice establishments previously affected by COVID-19. The increase in specialty foodservice revenue was partially offset by a 56% decrease in e-commerce revenues as a result of heightened COVID-19 driven demand in 2020 compared to 2021. Compared to pre-covid levels, second quarter e-commerce revenue is up 84% from the 2019 second quarter, reflecting strong organic growth. For the first half of fiscal 2021, total revenue was $26.2 million, compared to $25.3 million last year.
