PLANO,Texas,Oct. 1,2022 -- Dogness (International) Corporation ("Dogness" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: DOGZ),a developer and manufacturer of a comprehensive line of Dogness-branded,OEM and private label pet products,today announced its audited financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30 2022.

Silong Chen,Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dogness,commented,"We continue to benefit from our priority focus of resources on the production and promotion of sales of our higher margin intelligent pet products. With both our existing models and the newly launched models of our smart products,we delivered a 73% increase in sales of our intelligent pet products in the fiscal year ended June 30,2022,compared to the year ago period. We also continue to upgrade our production lines for traditional pet products to improve the productivity and lower the production costs. This has allowed us to lower our average unit selling price for our traditional pet products,while still maintaining desirable profit margins. Our sales strategy for traditional pet products has helped us to successfully retain our customers and attract new customers,which we have leveraged to increase awareness for our intelligent pet products. To mitigate the impact caused by COVID-19,we expanded our sales channels to more proven online shopping platforms,such as Amazon,Chewy,JD,Tmall,Costco.com,QVC.com and the live streaming sales platforms hosted by influencers,as well as maintaining the existing online and instore channels. These ecommerce sales normally have higher profit margin than traditional sales channels."

"With the continued strong demand and pet culture growth in China and worldwide,more and more young consumers have become pet owners. Dogness is well positioned to benefit from this growth,which is serving as a sales catalyst for our intelligent pet products,including App-controlled smart pet food feeders,pet water fountains,pet tracking devices and smart pet toys. In addition,our sales and distribution channel has been further diversified due to the rapid change of technology and lifestyle. Younger generations are more tech savvy and more willing to purchase products from popular online shopping sites,including Amazon,Tmall and Taobao,and from live streaming sales platforms hosted by influencers. As a result,we strategically increased our marketing activities and sales efforts in the domestic market,especially on those online shopping sites and channels."

"As we look forward we are even more excited about our growth potential led by our continued development of innovative,differentiated pet products and services,which allow us to build strong relationships with our customers,build brand loyalty,enhance our market position,increase transaction size and further enhance operating margins. Taken together,we believe Dogness is on track to further improve our sales,profitability and return on investment for our stockholders in the near future."
