Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2016 Highlights:

- Fourth quarter 2016 gross margin increased substantially to 34.4% compared to 23.5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.
- Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter decreased 36% versus the comparable quarter of fiscal 2015 as the Company continued to enhance operating efficiencies.
- Operating Loss in the fourth quarter improved by 81% to $(277,001) from $(1,450,864) in fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.
- Net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 improved 74% to $(441,243) from $(1.7 million) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.
- Gross margin for fiscal year 2016 increased 180 basis points to 28.5% versus 26.7% in fiscal 2015.

- Net loss for fiscal 2016 improved 14% to $(3.51 million) compared to $(4.06 million) in fiscal 2015. EPS for fiscal 2016 was $(0.14) compared to $(0.16) in fiscal 2015.
- The Company added QVC as a major new customer in fiscal 2016.
- Several new chain customers were contracted in fiscal 2016 with initial shipments commencing in first quarter of fiscal 2017.
- On November 20, 2015, the Company completed a convertible preferred equity financing which resulted in gross proceeds of $2.23 million and $1.83 million in net proceeds. The financing which began in June 2015, included investment by the Company's management of $1.0 million.
- During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 the Company appointed an active broker network in the western U.S. to expand the Company's national sales coverage to approximately 90% of the 48 contiguous U.S. states.
Carl Wolf, Chief Executive Officer of MamaMancini's, commented, "We had a solid fourth quarter with substantially higher gross margins, lower operating expenses, and dramatic improvement in our operating and bottom-line results. Revenue for the quarter was marginally lower, 4%, than the comparable quarter last year. However, we strategically exited approximately 25% of our account base during the year that did not generate appropriate margins. Consequently, our now sustainable account base generated a significantly increased gross margin of 34.4% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 versus 23.5% for last year's fourth quarter. In addition, total operating expenses for the quarter decreased by 36% as we continued to enhance operating efficiencies. The net result was significant improvement in our operating and net loss for the quarter. We are pleased with these operating improvements and we believe they will continue into the new fiscal year and will set the stage improved financial performance in fiscal 2017 and in the coming years."
"Strategically, we are dedicated to growing our presence in the perimeter of the retail grocery stores in which our products are sold," continued Mr. Wolf. "The perimeter of the store is where fresh, minimally or non-processed, healthy foods are offered. On an industry-wide basis, this outer band of the retail grocery store is growing at an estimated 10% annual rate compared to the middle of the store which is experiencing a one to two percent annual decline. Along with our distributors we are working hard to gain more shelf space and placement in this fast growing section.
"In that regard, we have activated the western U.S. sales territory with the appointment of an active broker network this past December. We now effectively have sales coverage of approximately 90% of the contiguous 48 U.S. states and are now better positioned for revenue growth in the coming years. In addition to expanding our national sales coverage, we are also pursuing growth in the club store segment where our products can gain heightened consumer acceptance while supporting product purchases at the retail level."
Mr. Wolf concluded, "All in all, fiscal 2016 was a solid year for MamaMancini's. The Company added substantial new retail chains, exited from non-profitable accounts, increased gross margins, expanded business with existing high quality accounts and we maintain an active relationship with QVC. We expect to see meaningfully improved operating and financial performance in fiscal 2016 and in the years to come."
Fiscal 2016 Results
Sales, net of slotting fees and discounts, increased 5% for full year 2016 to $12.6 million compared to $12.0 million in fiscal 2015. Sales for the year were impacted by the Company's deliberate termination of certain unprofitable accounts, which accounted for 25% of the company's accounts in the prior year.
Gross profit for the fiscal year was $3.6 million, or 29% of sales, for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016 compared to $3.2 million, or 27% of sales, primarily driven by improved operating efficiencies, price increases, lower commodity costs, and exiting low margin business.
As of January 31, 2016, the Company's products were sold in approximately 10,100 stores, with an average of 3.16 product SKUs in each store, aggregating to approximately 32,000 retail and grocery shelf placements throughout the U.S. That compares with approximately 37,000 shelf placements as of January 31, 2015.
Net loss for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016 was $(3.51 million), or $(0.14) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(4.06 million), or $(0.16) per basic and diluted share, in fiscal year 2015.
Fourth Quarter 2016 Results
Sales, net of slotting fees and discounts, were $3.4 million for the fourth fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2016, a decrease of 3.8% from $3.6 million for the comparable quarter in fiscal 2015. The decrease in sales is primarily related to the Company's deliberate termination of certain unprofitable accounts, which accounted for approximately 25% of the Company's accounts in the prior year.
Gross profit was $1.18 million, or 34.4% of sales, for the three months ended January 31, 2016 compared to $838,184, or 23.6% of sales, in the year ago period.
Net loss for the fourth fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2016 was ($441,234), or ($0.02) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(1.7 million), or ($0.07) per basic and diluted share, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.
