/EINPresswire.com/ -- EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ -- (Marketwired) -- 06/13/16 -- MamaMancini's Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "MamaMancini's") (OTCQB: MMMB), a marketer of specialty pre-prepared, frozen and refrigerated all natural food products (as defined by the United States Department of Agriculture), today announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, ended April 30, 2016.
Fiscal First Quarter Highlights:
- First quarter 2017 revenue increased 21% to $3.9 million compared to first quarter 2016 revenue of $3.2 million.
- First quarter 2017 gross margin increased substantially to 38% compared to 26% in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. Gross margin for full year fiscal 2017 expected to be approximately 35%.
- Total operating expenses for the first quarter decreased nine percent versus the comparable quarter of fiscal 2016 as the Company continued to enhance operating efficiencies.
- Loss from Operations for the first quarter fiscal 2017 improved 94% to $(55,220) versus $(852,647) in the prior year first quarter.
- Net loss for first quarter fiscal 2017 improved 79% to $(226,107) compared to $(1.1 million) in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. EPS for first quarter fiscal 2017 was $(0.01) compared to $(0.04) in first quarter fiscal 2016.
- Initial shipments commenced in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 to several new chain customers contracted in fiscal 2016 and in the first quarter of 2017.
- Since January 31, 2016, the Company increased its placements with new customers from 10,100 to 11,400 store locations and increased its placements on grocer's shelves from approximately 32,000 to 35,000.
- *Cash EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial metric, for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was positive $200,691 compared with negative $(783,405) in the first fiscal quarter of 2016.
Carl Wolf, Chief Executive Officer of MamaMancini's, commented, "We are off to a very strong start in fiscal year 2017. Revenue for the quarter increased 21% as product deliveries commenced to many of the new retail store chain customers developed in the latter part of fiscal 2016 and in the just completed first quarter. Our strategy of developing larger customers and exiting underperforming accounts that do not generate reasonable returns has achieved measurable results.
"During fiscal 2016 we strategically exited approximately 25% of our account base that did not generate appropriate margins. Consequently, our now sustainable account base generated a significantly increased gross margin of 38% for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 versus 26% in last year's comparable quarter; with our expectation for gross margin for the full year to be approximately 35% depending upon manufacturing efficiencies and customer mix. Operating expenses for the first quarter were down nine percent as we continue to improve operating efficiencies. Taken together all of these operating metrics translated into a significant positive impact on our operating and bottom-line results during the first quarter of fiscal 2017."
"Another important initiative is to grow our presence on 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.
"We are gaining traction with this initiative as a growing percentage of our overall business is now taking place around the perimeter of the store. The trend among consumers for high quality, fresh, take-out food at their local grocery store continues to grow as busy work and family schedules demand nutritious meals with minimal prep time. Our products fit perfectly with the evolving everyday life of millions of Americans."
Mr. Wolf concluded, "We are pleased with the results of the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Although our products appeared in 10% fewer stores and on 7% fewer shelves than last year at the end of the first quarter, we generated significantly more revenue and dramatically expanded our gross margin.
"Looking ahead to second quarter 2017, we expect revenue to grow by approximately 50% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2016 as we continue to add new customers, exit accounts that do not generate reasonable margins and manage our business more efficiently. We believe that the strategies now in place position MamaMancini's Holdings for improved operational and financial performance in the coming years."
First Quarter 2017 Results
Sales, net of slotting fees and discounts, were $3.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, a 21% increase compared to $3.2 million reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2016. The increase in sales was primarily driven by the addition of new customers in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and in the final months of fiscal year 2016. As of April 30, 2016, the Company's products were sold in approximately 11,400 stores, with an average of 3.07 product SKUs in each store, aggregating to approximately 35,000 retail and grocery shelf placements throughout the U.S. That compares with approximately 37,600 shelf placements as of April 30, 2015.
Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was $1.5 million, or 38% of sales, compared to $828,191, or 26% of sales, in the year ago period. The increase in gross margin is primarily attributed to increased revenue during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and the exiting of a substantial number of underperforming low margin accounts during the previous fiscal year.
Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was ($226,107), or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(1.1 million), or ($0.04) per basic and diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 2016.
