Q4 2017 Highlights

All comparisons relate to the fourth quarter of 2016 unless otherwise indicated:


•	Revenues:


◦	Total revenue increased 1.6% to $127.8 million compared to the prior year quarter of $125.8 million.


◦	Direct segment sales increased 9.9% to $71.6 million as sales growth across several product offerings, including the Bowflex MaxTrainer^® and the Bowflex HVT^®, more than offset the anticipated decline in TreadClimber^® sales.


◦	Retail segment sales decreased 7.5% to $55.5 million, reflecting the previously reported timing shift from Q4 into Q3, coupled with continued weakness in specialty and commercial customers.


•	Gross Margins:


◦	Total company gross margins decreased by 210 basis points to 48.9% primarily due to margin reductions in both segments, partially offset by a shift in segment revenue mix from Retail to higher margin Direct.


◦	Direct margins decreased by 340 basis points due to a shift in product mix to lower margin HVT^® and treadmills, coupled with increases in product costs due to unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.


◦	Retail segment gross margins decreased 380 basis points due to unfavorable product mix and increases in product costs, coupled with higher seasonal discounting.


•	Operating Expense:


◦	As a percent of revenue, operating expenses increased 830 basis points to 43.9% versus 35.6% in the fourth quarter last year, driven primarily by an $8.8 million non-cash impairment charge related to the carrying value of the Octane Fitness trade name intangible asset. Excluding the non-cash impairment charge, operating expenses were 37.0% of revenue.


•	Operating income decreased by 66.8% to $6.4 million compared to $19.3 million in the prior period. Adjusted operating income, excluding the non-cash impairment charge of $8.8 million, decreased 21.3% to $15.2 million compared to the prior year period reflecting the lower gross margins and increased media spend.


•	The effective income tax rate for continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2017 was a credit of 32.2% versus an expense of 36.4% in the prior year quarter. The current year tax rate reflects the Company's net benefit related to the reassessment of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the impact of recently modified United States tax law.


•	Income from continuing operations was $8.5 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to income from continuing operations of $12.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.
