SALT LAKE CITY -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- ZAGG Inc. (NASDAQ: ZAGG), a leading mobile device accessories company, announced today that it expects revenues for full year 2011 to exceed $175 million. This compares to previously published guidance of $170 million for the year. The increase in revenue guidance is due to stronger than expected holidays sales for both ZAGG and iFrogz, more SKUs in the retail channel, and strong website sales in the fourth quarter.
"ZAGG’s broader distribution and expanded product offering in the fourth quarter, along with iFrogz increased SKUs in their largest retailer, combined with continued strong website sales following our Cyber Monday promotions on ZAGG.com, have resulted in higher revenues than we previously forecasted," said Brandon T. O’Brien, CFO of ZAGG Inc. "This is the fourth time we have revised our revenue guidance since issuing our original 2011 forecast, which is a function of the rapid growth we have seen in both ZAGG and iFrogz this year.”
ZAGG published revenue guidance of $95 - $100 million for 2011 on the fourth quarter 2010 conference call, and revisited the guidance on the second quarter 2011 conference call when it raised the expected revenue range to $100 - $110 million. After the acquisition of iFrogz in June 2011, the company issued new revenue guidance in the range of $160 - $170 for 2011, and on the third quarter conference call stated they expected revenues of $170 million for the year. ZAGG’s adjustments to guidance reflect the company’s rapid growth due to the expanding retail presence, increased SKUs in stores, new product introductions, rising ASPs, the acquisition of iFrogz, and continued strong website sales.
“Building on our positive performance in 2011, we intend develop the strong operations platform we already have in place to support the company’s growth in 2012,” said Robert G. Pedersen II, Chairman and CEO of ZAGG Inc. “We look to establish the preferred brand in our industry, with creative product solutions and targeted global distribution.”
