Scott’s Liquid Gold-Inc. (OTC: SLGD) today announced results for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Financial Results
Fourth Quarter
In the fourth quarter of 2021, net sales remained generally consistent with the same period in 2020. Sales growth in 2021 of Alpha Skin Care, Denorex, and Batiste were offset by lower sales of Scott’s Liquid Gold, Kids N Pets, and Prell.
Our net loss of $7.3 million was primarily driven by non-cash loss on the sale of Dryel and one-time impairment charges to goodwill and intangible assets. The impairment charges resulted from our review of carrying values of goodwill and certain intangible assets triggered by revisions to our internal forecasts relating to all reporting units, primarily driven by our sale of Dryel and the impact of rising costs associated with the manufacture and distribution of our products. We continued to experience increases in logistics-related expenses driven by supply chain disruptions and shipping delays.
Fiscal Year 2021
Fiscal year 2021 results showed an increase in net sales related to our acquisitions of BIZ and Dryel in 2020, as well as growth in our Alpha Skin Care and Denorex brands.
Our net loss was primarily driven by non-cash and one-time expenses, as well as from amortization and increased interest expense. Our results were further impacted by increases in supply chain- and logistics-related costs that offset our growth in gross profit.
Management Commentary
“In 2021, we continued to face supply chain disruptions that impacted sales and increased logistics costs,” said Tisha Pedrazzini, President of Scott’s. “Despite these challenges, we made progress in reducing overhead expenses and simplifying our supply chain and 3PL networks. We have positioned our highest potential brands for growth by focusing on innovation with new products recently launched on Amazon.”
Dan Roller, Chairman of the Board, commented, “One of our key strategic priorities has been evaluating and optimizing Scott’s portfolio of brands. We made a key step towards this goal in the fourth quarter of 2021 with our sale of the Dryel brand, the proceeds of which we used to reduce net debt. The board and management continue to evaluate our portfolio with the goal of maximizing our Company’s long-term value.”

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This news release may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws that are intended to qualify for the Safe Harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. "Forward-looking statements" generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "assumptions," "target," "guidance," “strategy,” "outlook," "plans," "projection," "may," "will," "would," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe,” "potential," or "continue" (or the negative or other derivatives of each of these terms) or similar terminology.
Forward-looking statements convey our expectations, intentions, or forecasts about future events, circumstances, or results. All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which may change over time and many of which are beyond our control. You should not rely on any forward-looking statement as a prediction or guarantee about the future. Actual future objectives, strategies, plans, prospects, performance, conditions, or results may differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statement.
