Higher Ad spending results in online ratings boost
TORONTO, May 26, 2021 /CNW/ - Mimi's Rock Corp. (TSXV: MIMI) (OTCQB: MIMNF) (the "Company"), an online dietary supplement and wellness company, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2021.
"Our first quarter was successful in a number of ways," commented CEO, David Kohler. "Our unit volumes increased, driven by aggressive advertising campaigns aimed at capitalizing on new customer acquisition during the new year period. This gives us an even stronger foundation on which to build future growth. This uplift didn't translate into financial growth this quarter, however, as the combination of increased advertising spending, coupled with unfavourable foreign exchange impact muted the results. We note our strong customer retention metrics, which gives us confidence that the increased volumes will translate into stronger performance in Q2 and the remainder of the year. We are also poised to benefit from a price increase on our highest volume product (Colon Cleanse) which we enacted late in Q1. This increase has shown no negative effect on volumes and this product should continue to increase its revenue contribution."
First Quarter Highlights
Revenues in Q1 2021 were $9.8 million, compared to $10.4 million in the Q1 2020. Reported revenues were impacted by the lower US dollar in the 2021 period, accounting for a majority of the difference in total revenue from a year ago.
Total sales unit volumes were higher in both the supplements and skincare business in Q1 2021 compared to Q1 2020. Many of the Company's top products benefitted from the increased exposure with higher product rankings, which in turn lead to more product listing views and ultimately, higher sales. One of the Company's top products achieved top spot in Amazon's highly valued weight loss category several times in the past two months.
Gross margin was $6.7 million, compared to $7.3 million a year ago. Margins remained strong, in the 69% range for both periods.
Sales and marketing expenses increased somewhat dramatically in Q1 2021, to $5.2 million (53.3% of revenue) compared to $4.7 million (45.5% of total revenues) in the first quarter of 2020. Advertising spend in the first quarter of 2021 was consciously increased with a focus on gaining product rankings and visibility. As a result of strategic advertisement targeting, several of the Company's key products achieved top rank in their category. The impact of this exposure translates to considerably higher customer traffic and ultimately, sales. Short term promotions on new product launches have enabled the business to maintain momentum, however, going forward, advertising spend is expected to remain closer to historical levels around 45% of revenue.
Q1 2021 EBITDA was $0.1 million compared to $1.1 million in Q12020, mainly due to the impacts on revenue and advertising spend as described above.
Adjusted EBITDA, which adds back non-cash stock-based compensation and foreign exchange losses was $0.2 million for Q1 2021, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 million for Q1 2020.
Net loss was $0.2 million ($0.00 per share) for Q1 2021, compared to a net income of $0.3 million ($0.01 per share) for Q1 2020.
