Orange 21 Inc. Reports Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2010 and Announces Investor Conference Call
CARLSBAD, Calif.—(MARKET WIRE)—March 25, 2011. Orange 21 Inc. (OTCBB:ORNG), announced today it released financial results for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Consolidated net sales increased 2% to $35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $34.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Our consolidated gross profit increased 21% to $16.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 from $13.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Consolidated net losses of $4.6 million and $3.4 million were incurred for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The year ended December 31, 2010 included (1) a $1.4 million loss on the deconsolidation of LEM as a result of the sale of 90% of our equity interest in LEM on December 31, 2010 and (2) $1.2 million in additional direct operating expenses related to the addition of the Margaritaville™ and Melodies by MJB™ eyewear brands for which there have been minimal sales during this period.
“We are pleased with our results for 2010 even though we had substantial direct and indirect additional operating costs related to our two newest brands, Margaritaville™ and Melodies by MJB™, for which there have been minimal sales during this period,” commented Stone Douglass, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. “Gross margins increased to 48% for the year ended December 31, 2010 from 40% during the comparable period in 2009, aided by more effective sourcing in Asia, and improved operations and a more favorable Euro to U.S. Dollar exchange rate on purchases from our Italian manufacturer, LEM.”
