DONGGUAN, China, Oct. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Dogness (International) Corporation ("Dogness" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: DOGZ), a developer and manufacturer of a comprehensive line of Dogness-branded, OEM and private label pet products, today announced its unaudited financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

Silong Chen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dogness, commented, "We are pleased with our continued strong growth but know it would have been even stronger if not dampened by the ongoing global logistics crisis.  We simply cannot get products fast enough to sell.  With that said, we were still able to drive strong growth with a 26.9% increase in revenue for fiscal year 2021 compared to fiscal year 2020. We are even more pleased with our expansion in gross margin and profitability. The quality of our revenue also improved, with a nearly 163% increase in sales volume for our intelligent pet products in fiscal year 2021 compared to fiscal year 2020. We have been prioritizing this important long-term growth opportunity and strategically shifted our resources to produce and promote the sales of higher margin intelligent pet products across our integrated Smart Pet Ecosystem, which includes innovative App-controlled pet feeders, pet water fountains, and smart pet toys."

"We have been working to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and the supply chain shortages by expanding our sales through popular large retail and online shopping platforms. At the same time, we continue to upgrade our production lines to improve production efficiencies and lower costs. As a result, we were able to reduce our selling price for traditional pet products to help our customers, while still maintaining a healthy profit margin. Overall, our strategy and expanded product lines have been well received by customers worldwide, as reflected in the double-digit growth we achieved in our international sales and the momentum for our intelligent pet products. We are optimistic in our outlook and will continue to execute as we drive revenue and profit growth to build value for shareholders."

Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2021

Revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 increased 26.9% to $24.3 million from $19.2 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to an 81.4% expansion in sales of Dogness' intelligent pet products, which are benefitting from high demand and a higher average selling price than the Company's traditional pet products.  Dogness has built an integrated sales platform across all channels, with major customers including Anyi Trading, Petco, Trendspark, PetSmart, Pet Value, Walmart, Target, IKEA, SimplyShe, Pets at Home, PETZL, and Petmate, and online shopping platforms, such as Amazon, Chewy.com, Boqii, Target.com, HomeDepot.com, Loews.com, Wayfair.com, JD, Tmall and Taobao, as well as live streaming sales platforms hosted by influencers.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, Dogness' total sales in international markets increased by approximately $1.2 million or approximately 13% from $10.6 million in fiscal 2020 to approximately $10.6 million in fiscal year 2021.

Cost of revenues decreased by approximately $1.6 million, or 9.6%, from approximately $16.8 million in fiscal 2020 to approximately $15.2 million in fiscal 2021. As a percentage of revenues, the cost of goods sold decreased by approximately 25.1 percentage points to 62.4% in fiscal 2021 from 87.5% in fiscal 2020. This was mainly because the Company continues to upgrade its production lines for both traditional and intelligent pet products to improve the productivity and lower the production costs.

Gross profit increased by approximately $6.8 million or 282.8%, to approximately $9.2 million in fiscal 2021 from approximately $2.4 million in fiscal 2020 primarily because the Company continues to upgrade its production lines for both traditional and intelligent pet products, which led to the improved productivity and lower the production costs. Overall gross profit margin was 37.6%, an increase of 25.1 percentage points, for the year ended June 30, 2021 as compared to 12.5% for the year ended June 30, 2020.

Comprehensive income was approximately $6.2 million or $0.05 per basic and diluted share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, compared to a loss of $10.3 million or a loss of $0.33 per basic and diluted share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020.

The Company had a $5.5 million balance of cash and short-term investments as of June 30, 2021. This does not include approximately $4 million in gross proceeds from the Company's offering with institutional investors, which closed on July 19, 2021.
