Emerson Radio Corporation (MSN-1.85%) has submitted its 10-Q filing for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2024.

The filing includes financial statements for the quarter, showing an increase in net product sales to $3.9 million from $2.6 million in the same quarter the previous year. The increase is attributed to higher sales of newly introduced houseware products.

Licensing revenue increased to $111,000 from $23,000 in the previous year, driven by a licensee exceeding annual guaranteed minimum royalties and revenue from a new licensee.
