North American Sales Up 11% Versus Prior Year Period
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nova LifeStyle, Inc. (NASDAQ: NVFY), a leading
U.S.-based, innovative designer and distributor of modern LifeStyle home products, today announced financial results for the third
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Management Commentary
Tawny Lam, Chief Executive Officer of Nova LifeStyle, commented, "Our North American sales increased by 11%, which was offset by a
decrease of sales to Australia and our sales efforts continue to be focused on higher margin products following our exit from the
low-margin, mass product segment of the market. We are optimistic that our sales growth will continue in North American region.
Our largest selling product categories in the three months ended September 30, 2018 were sofas, cabinets and beds,
which accounted for approximately 64%, 10% and 9% of sales, respectively. Overall, third quarter sales faced a very challenging
comparison with last year as the prior year period featured very significant orders from an Australian customer. We are also
working diligently with existing customers to shorten our collection cycle and lower our receivable amounts, and expect to make
great progress in this regard in the coming fourth quarter. We are looking forward to a strong year end after solid order
activity and significant indications of interest at the recent High Point Market.”
