Management Commentary

"Fiscal 2021 was a solid year for iPower, highlighted by strong revenue growth of more than 35% with considerable gross margin expansion due to a growing mix of in-house product sales," said Lawrence Tan, CEO of iPower. "The growing demand for our in-house products, which made up 72% of sales in fiscal 2021, is a testament to our superior product research, design and merchandising expertise. Sales of our proprietary products grew nearly 80% in fiscal 2021.  We introduced hundreds of new proprietary SKUs in that same period, with the majority of them introduced in the second half of our fiscal year. We believe we have the right products with the right features to address the needs of our customers.

"During our fiscal fourth quarter, we utilized the growth capital raised from our IPO to make significant investments and lay the groundwork for continued growth in the coming years. This included increased advertising on new products launched in the second half of 2021, expansion of our fulfillment infrastructure, and multiple new programs with our co-engineering and supply chain logistics partners."

iPower CFO Kevin Vassily added, "As we look toward fiscal 2022, we expect a continued robust demand environment. Historically, our organic revenue growth has ranged between 25-35%, excluding the extraordinary year of fiscal 2020 that benefited from COVID-19 stay-at-home mandates. Hydroponic industry growth at-large appears to be moderating, however, our unique eCommerce model has enabled us to consistently outpace the industry. Given our extensive proprietary SKU introductions over the last six months, we expect to continue outpacing the industry going forward with organic revenue growth of at least 25% in fiscal 2022.

"From a profitability perspective, the cost environment has been more volatile with increased container and product input costs. While we plan to offset some of these costs, we nonetheless believe it is prudent to avoid forecasting exact margin targets until the global supply chain becomes more stable. That said, we are planning a meaningful number of new in-house product introductions, including our own nutrients brand, which we expect will provide margin support during this volatile period. We remain in the early stages of capitalizing on our unique approach to hydroponic eCommerce sales and look forward to another year of strong execution ahead."

Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Total revenue in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021 increased slightly to $14.73 million compared to $14.66 million for the same period in fiscal 2020. The Company benefitted from heightened eCommerce demand during the fiscal fourth quarter 2020 as a result of mandatory stay-at-home orders due to COVID-19, and such benefits continued into 2021.

Gross profit in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021 decreased slightly to $6.5 million compared to $6.6 million. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin was 44.4% compared to 44.7%.

Total operating expenses in the fiscal fourth quarter were $6.3 million compared to $4.8 million for the same period in fiscal 2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher merchant fees related to channel program mix, increases in advertising, and an increase in spending with co-engineering partners.

Net loss in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2021 was $(1.9) million or $(0.08) per share, compared to net income of $1.2 million or $0.06 per share for the same period in fiscal 2020.

Non-GAAP net income in the fiscal fourth quarter was $0.6 million or $0.02 per share, compared to $1.2 million or $0.06 per share. The decrease was driven by the aforementioned higher merchant fees and increased spending.

Cash and cash equivalents were $6.7 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $1.0 million at June 30, 2020. The increase was attributed to proceeds raised from the Company's initial public offering earlier this fiscal year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

iPower has disclosed non-GAAP net income/(loss) and non-GAAP earnings per share in this press release, which are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. The company defines non-GAAP net income/(loss) as net income/(loss) before stock-based compensation, one-time IPO related costs, D&O insurance, amortization of debt and non-cash financing costs, changes in fair value of warrants and conversion features, and adjustments to tax provisions. A table providing a reconciliation of non-GAAP net income/(loss) and non-GAAP EPS is included at the end of this press release.

The Company's management believes that presenting non-GAAP net income/(loss) and non-GAAP EPS provide useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company's ongoing operations, as well as providing for more consistent period-over-period comparisons. This non-GAAP measure assists management in its operational and financial decision-making, as well as monitoring the Company's performance. non-GAAP net income/(loss) and non-GAAP EPS are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure.

Forward-Looking Statements

All statements other than statements of historical fact in this announcement are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that iPower believes may affect its financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Investors can identify these forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "aim," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "potential," "continue," "is/are likely to" or other similar expressions. iPower undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent occurring events or circumstances, or changes in its expectations, except as may be required by law. Although iPower believes that the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot assure you that such expectations will turn out to be correct, and iPower cautions investors that actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results and encourages investors to review other factors that may affect its future results in iPower's registration statement and in its other filings with the SEC.
