Promising Guidance for Q2 2021
The company anticipates generating net revenues between USD$130 million to USD$145 million for the upcoming second quarter of the fiscal year 2021. This forecast is based on current information that is available to the company and seasonality. This guidance indicates an increase of anywhere between 14% and 27% as compared with net revenues reported in the second quarter of 2020. Seeing as personal protective equipment is no longer sold, the exclusion of its net revenue from previous reports results in year-over-year growth of 48% to 65% for Q2 2021.
Future Outlook for LITB
Having come out of the first quarter of the fiscal year 2021 with such stellar improvements across the board, LITB is poised to carry on this success through to the end of the year and beyond. Current and potential investors are hopeful that the company will leverage the resources at its disposal to facilitate significant and sustained increases in shareholder value.
