Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2020 Results
For the fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company reported revenue of $54.8 million, a 7.7% decrease over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Revenue in the Americas for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased 9.6% compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and revenue in the Asia/Pacific & Europe region decreased 3.3% compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was positively impacted $0.8 million, or 1.3%, by foreign currency fluctuations associated with revenue generated in international markets when compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was $45.0 million, or 82.1% of revenue, compared to $49.9 million, or 84.1% of revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2020. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to increased shipping expenses to customers due to COVID-19, decreased fee revenues as a result of fewer in-person distributor events being held during the current year period due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and shifts in geographic and product sales mix.
Commissions and incentives expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was $25.6 million, or 46.7% of revenue, compared to $28.9 million, or 48.7% of revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2020. The decrease in commissions and incentives expense as a percentage of revenue is due mainly to the timing and magnitude of promotional and incentive activities as compared to the prior year quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was $12.8 million, or 23.4% of revenue, compared to $14.8 million, or 25.0% of revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2020. Adjusted for nonrecurring expenses, which are detailed in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables included at the end of this press release, adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was $13.6 million, or 24.8% of revenue, compared to adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 of $14.3 million, or 24.1% of revenue. The year over year decrease in non-GAAP SG&A expense was primarily due to decreased stock and incentive compensation expenses due to performance against current year bonus targets as well as the departure of executives during the current year period.
Operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was $6.6 million, or 12.0% of revenue, compared to $6.2 million, or 10.5% of revenue, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Accounting for the non-GAAP adjustments noted previously, adjusted non-GAAP operating income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was $5.8 million, or 10.6% of revenue, compared to $6.7 million, or 11.3% of revenue, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was $4.9 million, or $0.35 per diluted share. This compares to net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 of $3.8 million, or $0.26 per diluted share. Accounting for the non-GAAP adjustments noted previously, net of tax, adjusted non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 4.6% to $4.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share. Accounting for the non-GAAP adjustments noted previously, net of tax, adjusted non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $4.1 million, or $0.28 per diluted share. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 24.3% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 37.2% in the prior year period. The decrease in the tax rate in the current year period positively impacted adjusted earnings per share by approximately $0.05.
Adjusted EBITDA decreased 19.3% to $6.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, compared to $8.2 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2020.
Fiscal 2021 Full Year Results
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, the Company reported net revenue of $220.2 million, a decrease of 5.5% compared to $232.9 million for fiscal 2020. In fiscal 2021, revenue in the Americas decreased 7.0% and revenue in Asia/Pacific & Europe decreased 1.6%. Revenue for fiscal 2020 was positively impacted $2.6 million, or 1.1%, by foreign currency fluctuations associated with revenue generated in international markets when compared to fiscal year 2020.
Gross profit during fiscal 2021 was $182.0 million, or 82.7% of revenue, compared to $195.0 million, or 83.7% of revenue, for fiscal 2020. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to increased shipping expenses as global demand for shipping increased significantly due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Commissions and incentives expense for fiscal 2021 was $103.5 million, or 47.0% of revenue, compared to $111.6 million, or 47.9% of revenue, for fiscal 2020. Commissions and incentives expense as a percentage of revenue decreased as a result of the cancellation of incentive events during the year due to the COVID 19 pandemic and associated travel and meeting restrictions as well as the continued refinement and the timing and magnitude of our various promotional and incentive programs during the year.
SG&A expense for fiscal 2021 was $60.8 million, or 27.6% of revenue, compared to $67.9 million, or 29.2% of revenue, for fiscal 2020. Adjusted for nonrecurring expenses and recoveries, which are detailed in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables included at the end of this press release, adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expense for fiscal 2021 was $59.2 million, or 26.9% of revenue, compared to adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expense for fiscal 2020 of $66.7 million, or 28.6% of revenue. The year over year decrease in non-GAAP SG&A expense was primarily due to the cancellation of in-person events and decreased travel expenses related to the restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as lower stock and incentive compensation expense due to performance against current year bonus targets as well as the departure of executives during the current year.
Operating income for fiscal 2021 was $17.6 million, or 8.0% of revenue, compared to $15.5 million, or 6.6% of revenue, for fiscal 2020. Accounting for non-GAAP adjustments noted previously, adjusted non-GAAP operating income for fiscal 2021 was $19.2 million, or 8.7% of revenue, compared to $16.7 million, or 7.2% of revenue, for fiscal 2020.
Net income for fiscal 2021 was $12.9 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, compared to $11.5 million, or $0.79 per diluted share for fiscal 2020. Accounting for the non-GAAP adjustments noted previously, net of tax, adjusted non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2021 increased 14.4% to $14.3 million, or $1.00 per diluted share. This compares to adjusted non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2020 of $12.5 million, or $0.86 per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company’s effective tax rate increased to 24.1% in fiscal 2021 compared to an effective tax rate of 21.6% in the prior year. The increase in the current year tax rate negatively impacted adjusted earnings per share by approximately $0.03.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 3.7% to $24.8 million for fiscal 2021, compared to $24.0 million for fiscal 2020.
Balance Sheet & Liquidity
The Company generated $16.3 million of cash from operations during fiscal 2021 compared to $18.3 million during fiscal 2020. The Company's cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2021 were $23.2 million, compared to $22.1 million at June 30, 2020. The Company had no debt outstanding at June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company repurchased approximately 0.5 million common shares for $3.9 million under its share repurchase program.
Fiscal Year 2022 Guidance
The Company expects to generate revenue in the range of $225 million to $235 million in fiscal year 2022 and adjusted EBITDA of $22 million to $24 million, with adjusted earnings per share in the range of $0.83 to $0.87, which assumes a full year tax rate of approximately 26%. This guidance reflects the current trends in the business and the Company’s current view as to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business. The Company's guidance for adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA and adjusted non-GAAP earnings per diluted share excludes any non-operating or non-recurring expenses that may materialize during fiscal 2022. The Company is not providing guidance for GAAP earnings per diluted share for fiscal 2022 due to the potential occurrence of one or more non-operating, one-time expenses, which the Company does not believe it can reliably predict.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define Non-GAAP EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, other income, net, and certain other adjustments. Non-GAAP EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We define Non-GAAP Net Income as GAAP net income less certain tax adjusted non-recurring one-time expenses incurred during the period and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share as Non-GAAP Net Income divided by weighted-average shares outstanding.
We are presenting Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share because management believes that they provide additional ways to view our operations when considered with both our GAAP results and the reconciliation to net income, which we believe provides a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share are presented solely as supplemental disclosure because: (i) we believe these measures are a useful tool for investors to assess the operating performance of the business without the effect of these items; (ii) we believe that investors will find this data useful in assessing shareholder value; and (iii) we use Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share internally as benchmarks to evaluate our operating performance or compare our performance to that of our competitors. The use of Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share has limitations and you should not consider these measures in isolation from or as an alternative to the relevant GAAP measure of net income prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.
The tables set forth below present reconciliations of Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Earnings per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures to Net Income and Earnings per Share, our most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
