"During the second quarter we focused on strategic expansions in production, distribution and products to support ongoing revenue momentum," said David Shan, Founder, Chairman & CEO. "With significant top and bottom-line growth on strong sales and margin improvement, we continue to build manufacturing capacity aimed at enhancing flexibility and increasing annual production. We continued to add new distribution partners and retailers to increase our national footprint and drive sales across our existing and new diversified product portfolio.
"Several production initiatives during the quarter are positioning us to further expand output levels each month. A new expansion has added 90,000 sq. ft. to our manufacturing facility in Garland, Texas to support increased production across motor and marine product verticals. At this facility we are also launching a new automated vehicle assembly robot line expected to be installed in the coming weeks. This automation is expected to improve efficiency by 50% and enhance safety for production of ATV and UTV vehicles lines.
"In addition to our facility expansion projects to accommodate growth initiatives, during the quarter we partnered with Armlogi, a U.S.-based warehousing and logistics service provider, to provide access to Armlogi warehousing facilities and tailored logistics services for fast order fulfillment of our UTVS, ATVs, Go-Karts and Golf Carts. Armlogi will receive containers of Massimo vehicle kits arriving from Asian suppliers at our warehouses in Savannah, GA, Edison, NJ, and Walnut, CA. We will provide vehicle assembly at the warehouses, and Armlogi will supply inventory management, storage services, logistics, and delivery to final order destinations. This partnership will enhance our operational capabilities and efficiencies by putting delivery of vehicle components, assembly and shipping closer to order destinations.
"In-store distribution channels also grew during the quarter with new agreements with Tractor Supply, Fleet Farm and a global omnichannel retailer. Building on the success of our current agreement with Tractor Supply providing our full Massimo Motor product lineup online and in stores.
We signed an ongoing national agreement with a global omnichannel retailer for the youth series Mini Tractor and Mini 125 Go Kart to be sold in stores. The retailer's online marketplace currently features over 100 Massimo products, and with the expanded partnership, the two products have been eligible to be stocked at over 1,300 stores in 13 states since May 2024. We also entered into an ongoing agreement with Fleet Farm for six UTV, ATV, and youth series products to be sold in stores and featured on the retailer's online marketplace. These national in-store opportunities with retailers position us for accelerating sales across the U.S.
"Looking ahead, our expanding production capabilities, including an automated vehicle assembly robot line and the Armlogi partnership, are expected to allow Massimo to meet the growing demand of our products. We believe with increased operating efficiencies we can further enhance margins while continuing to grow our revenue and expand our product line with new models and capabilities like our new GKD 350 All-Terrain Go Kart. We continue to focus on new distribution channels and additional products with existing partners, which now stands at over 2,800 retail locations promoting our brand in 48 states. Taken together, we are rapidly leveraging our position to build market share and deliver long-term value to our shareholders," concluded Mr. Shan.
Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenues increased by $8.7 million, or 32.4%, to $35.4 million, compared to $26.7 million in the prior year period. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the combined effect of rising demand in the U.S. ATV and UTV market and a modified sales strategy.
Revenue from sales of UTVs, ATVs and e-bikes increased by $11.9 million, or 53.3%, from $22.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, to $34.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in revenue was attributable to the expansion into more large retail stores in the US and to a shift in sales strategy, focusing mostly on in-store sales, which generally involve larger volumes and fewer returns.
Revenue from sales of pontoon boats decreased by $3.2 million, or 73.5%, from $4.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, to $1.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the fact that the company shifted from retailing to dealer sales starting in fiscal 2024 and the dealers have experienced high rejection rates at the floorplan financing providers such as Northpoint. This is consistent with the industry-wide trend.
Gross profit increased by $3.4 million, or 41.9%, from $8.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, to $11.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Gross profit margin was 32.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, compared with 30.3% in the same period last year. The increase in the gross profit margin was primarily attributable to higher net sales partly due to decreased return, which was partly offset by higher cost of sales due to increased freight costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to last year.
The cost of revenue on UTVs, ATVs and e-bikes increased by $8.2 million, or 55.7%, from $14.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 to $23.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, and the gross profit increased by $3.6 million, or 48.6%, from $7.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 to $11.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The gross margin decreased by 1.1%, from 33.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 to 32.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in the cost of revenue was in line with the increase in sales. The slight decrease in gross margin was mainly due to a rise in global container freight in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Freight costs increased in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 when compared with last year.
The cost of revenue on pontoon boats decreased by $3.0 million, or 76.5%, from $3.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 to $0.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, and the gross profit decreased by $0.3 million, or 51.6%, from $0.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 to $0.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Gross margin increased from 12.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 to 22.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in gross margin was primarily because of strategically focusing on selling higher-margin models of pontoon boats.
Selling and marketing expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 24.6%, from $2.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 to $3.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in selling expenses was mainly due to an increase in shipping and handling fees.
General and administrative expenses increased by $0.8 million, or 22.7%, from $3.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 to $4.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase was mainly due to increased salaries and benefits, a one-time impairment loss, and rent expense, which were partly offset by a decrease in professional and legal fees.
Total operating expenses increased 36.2% to $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $5.8 million in the prior year second quarter.
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $2.8 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $2.1 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, in the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.3 million at June 30, 2024, as compared to $0.8 million at December 31, 2023. On April 24, 2024, Massimo closed its initial public offering with aggregate gross proceeds, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by Massimo, of $5.85 million.
Net cash used by operating activities was $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net cash provided of $2.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and inventory of $1.9 million and $5.0 million, respectively, and a decrease in accounts payable of $4.5 million. This is consistent with the company using part of the IPO proceeds as working capital to grow sales.
