Here are the key takeaways from Leatt’s conference call:

• Leatt reported record quarterly revenue in four years of $20.46 million, up 43% year over year, and net income of $2.2 million, up 309%. Operating costs grew more slowly than revenue, lifting operating income 367% and net margin to 10.8% from 3.8%.
• Growth was broad across products: helmet sales rose 68%, body armor 48%, and other products, parts, and accessories 26%; neck brace sales declined 12%. Distributor sales benefited from shipments shifted out of Q2, though distributor growth across Q2 and Q3 combined was about 22%.
• Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash stood at $15.5 million, while operating cash flow for the first nine months more than tripled year over year to $4.59 million. Inventory fell $1.6 million from year-end despite revenue growth, and management said it expects to deploy cash toward growth, including GRiTT.
• Management said demand and reordering momentum remain strong and expects growth to continue, with GRiTT beginning its U.S. rollout and ADV seen as a faster-growing category. It also flagged geopolitical risks and shipping-cost pressure; a $500,000–$600,000 tariff recovery boosted Q3 margins by about two percentage points, while management said margins excluding the recovery were roughly stable year over year.
