Achieves Approximately 4% Sequential Increase in Revenue for Q2 2024 Compared to Q1 2024

Gross profit was $6.7M in Q2 2024 compared to $5.9M in Q2 2023, a 14.2% year-over-year increase

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 19, 2024 / 1847 Holdings LLC ("1847" or the "Company") (NYSE American:EFSH), a holding company specializing in identifying over-looked, deep value investment opportunities in middle market businesses, today provided a business update and reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Mr. Ellery W. Roberts, CEO of 1847 Holdings, commented, "In Q2 2024, we achieved approximately 4% sequential revenue growth and a 14.2% year-over-year increase in gross profit, highlighting our effective efforts to optimize operations and improve cost efficiencies. As part of our ongoing strategy to strengthen the balance sheet, we recently eliminated $4.2 million of debt through the sale of ICU Eyewear, significantly enhancing our financial position. After we acquired ICU Eyewear, we were able to clean up the books, reinforce the infrastructure, and enhance the value of assets before strategically selling it in collaboration with our senior lender, demonstrating our successful private equity model. This transaction not only underscores our commitment to maintaining a robust financial foundation but also aligns with our long-term strategy of maximizing shareholder value. We remain dedicated to leveraging our strengths and exploring opportunities that will contribute to the long-term success and stability of our Company."

"Our strategy remains centered on acquiring companies that provide value and generate positive cash flow, all while minimizing shareholder dilution. We believe we have a robust acquisition pipeline and are making significant progress on several potentially transformative strategic transactions. Notably, we are working to finalize a definitive agreement to acquire a leading manufacturer of millwork, cabinetry, and doors, which reported $28.6 million in revenue and substantial cash flow in 2023. We believe this acquisition represents an attractive opportunity for 1847, as we have negotiated favorable terms, and we believe we can successfully complete this transaction without the need for equity-based funding at this time."

"Additionally, we are advancing with the sale of a division of 1847 Cabinets Inc., which we anticipate closing by mid-September 2024. This proposed sale marks a strategic milestone for 1847, demonstrating our ability to acquire, operate, and enhance the value of assets before divesting them. We believe this transaction will substantially strengthen our financial position, allowing us to strategically reallocate resources and capitalize on emerging opportunities both within and beyond our portfolio, with a long-term focus on maximizing shareholder value," concluded Mr. Roberts.

About 1847 Holdings LLC

1847 Holdings LLC (NYSE American: EFSH), a publicly traded diversified acquisition holding company, was founded by Ellery W. Roberts, a former partner of Parallel Investment Partners, Saunders Karp & Megrue, and Principal of Lazard Freres Strategic Realty Investors. 1847 Holdings' investment thesis is that capital market inefficiencies have left the founders and/or stakeholders of many small business enterprises or lower-middle market businesses with limited exit options despite the intrinsic value of their business. Given this dynamic, 1847 Holdings can consistently acquire businesses it views as "solid" for reasonable multiples of cash flow and then deploy resources to strengthen the infrastructure and systems of those businesses in order to improve operations. These improvements may lead to a sale or IPO of an operating subsidiary at higher valuations than the purchase price and/or alternatively, an operating subsidiary may be held in perpetuity and contribute to 1847 Holdings' ability to pay regular and special dividends to shareholders.
