EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ--(Marketwired - Dec 15, 2016) - MamaMancini's Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "MamaMancini's") (
Fiscal Third Quarter Highlights:
Carl Wolf, Chief Executive Officer of MamaMancini's, commented, "The third quarter of fiscal year 2017 was historic in nature as we reported our first profitable quarter. Over the past year we have achieved considerable traction on developing larger customers and exiting underperforming accounts that do not generate reasonable returns. Revenue increased 41% and 35% for the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal year 2017, respectively. We have worked long and hard to get to this point. Although it is a modest profit for the quarter, we expect to build on these results in the quarters and the years to come."
"Gross margin for the quarter improved to 37% from 30% in last year's comparable quarter as our now more sustainable customer base, combined with manufacturing efficiencies and increased volumes drive positive results. Our operating income for the third quarter improved by more than $600,000 as we continue to develop new retail store accounts, drive revenue and operate on a more efficient basis. We are very pleased with the results of the third quarter and the fiscal year to date. We look forward to ending the fiscal year on a strong note."
Mr. Wolf added, "Having achieved an important strategic goal in breaking into profitability, we are able to be more aggressive in building upon the MamaMancini's brand. Operationally speaking, we will continue to focus our presence on the perimeter of the retail grocery store, where fresh, minimally or non-processed, healthy foods are offered and the growth opportunities lie. As we concentrate mostly on selling into the food service area of the store, we continue to develop new product offerings that will add value to the end-user customers relying on great tasting food with superior nutritional profiles and minimal prep time. We also announced earlier this week the introduction of a new advertising and marketing campaign. Our goal is to leverage different mediums to expand our reach, attract new large national accounts, and gain a substantial number of new consumers around the country."
Third Quarter 2017 Results
Sales, net of slotting fees and discounts, were $4.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2017, a 41% increase compared to $3.2 million reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. The increase in sales was primarily driven by the addition of new customers in the first half of fiscal 2017. As of October 31, 2016, the Company's products were sold in approximately 10,700 stores, with an average of 3.5 product SKUs in each store, aggregating to approximately 37,700 retail and grocery shelf placements throughout the U.S.
Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $1.7 million, or 37% of sales, compared to $982,131, or 30% of sales, in the year ago period. The increase in gross margin is primarily attributed to increased revenue during the third quarter of fiscal 2017 from new retail store customers and the exiting of a substantial number of underperforming low margin accounts during the previous fiscal year.
Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $80,603, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(975,522), or ($0.04) per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2016.
Nine Months Fiscal 2017 Results
Sales, net of slotting fees and discounts, were $12.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2017, a 36% increase compared to $9.3 million reported in the first nine months of fiscal 2016. The increase in sales was primarily driven by the addition of new customers in the first half of fiscal 2017 and in the final months of fiscal year 2016.
Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 was $4.5 million, or 36% of sales, compared to $2.6 million, or 28% of sales, in the year ago period. The increase in gross margin is primarily attributed to increased revenue during the first half of fiscal 2017 from new retail store customers and the exiting of a substantial number of underperforming low margin accounts during the previous fiscal year.
Net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2017 was ($422,313), or ($0.02) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(3.1 million), or ($0.12) per basic and diluted share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2016.
Outlook
The Company's strategy of developing larger customers and exiting underperforming accounts that do not generate attractive returns is achieving improving operating results. The Company expects a continuation of revenue growth for the foreseeable future. As a result, the company is anticipating fiscal 2017 revenues for the fourth quarter to be in the range of $5.0 million to $5.5 million and $17.6 million to $18.1 million for the year, both ending January 31, 2017. In addition, the company expects its profitability to improve in the coming quarters.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses Cash EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Cash EBITDA as earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization plus any non-cash stock payments for expenses. The Company believes that the use of Cash EBITDA is useful to investors and other users of its financial statements in evaluating the Company's operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. The Company uses Cash EBITDA in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance measures as part of its overall assessment of its performance, for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget, and to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies. Management does not place undue reliance on Cash EBITDA as its only measure of operating performance. Cash EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.
Conference Call
The Company has scheduled a conference call for today, Thursday, December 15, 2016, at 4:30 pm ET to review the results.
Interested parties may participate on the conference call by dialing (844) 889-4326 or (412) 317-9264. A replay of the conference call will be available by dialing (877) 344-7529 or (412) 317-0088, confirmation code 10095668, through December 22, 2016.
