AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · XPEL (XPEL)

XPEL Q1 profit falls 41.7% on $90.1M revenue; cuts 2024 growth outlook

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

XPEL reported first-quarter 2024 results for the three months ended March 31, with revenue up 5.0% to $90.1 million but net income down 41.7% to $6.7 million. The company cut its annual revenue growth projection to 8-10% from 15%, and management attributed the weakness mainly to slower US aftermarket demand, port delays, and lower China sales. Shareholders face weaker profitability and a lower growth outlook, though management said April showed some momentum.

Key points

  • Revenue rose 5.0% to $90.1 million; net income fell 41.7% to $6.7 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, versus $0.41 a year earlier
  • About $1.6 million of annual dealer conference costs fell in Q1 2024, versus Q2 in 2023; normalized net income would have declined 30.7%
  • 2024 annual revenue growth projection revised to 8-10% from 15%; China revenue fell 78.2% to $1.5 million
