Management Commentary
“The second quarter was highlighted by record revenues, supported by healthy growth from our recent acquisitions, bringing us roughly in-line with Carl’s previously announced goal of a $100 million annualized sales run-rate by year-end,” said Adam L. Michaels, newly appointed CEO of MamaMancini’s. “While I started at MamaMancini’s one short week ago, the passion of our people and the difficult to replicate story of Anna “Mama” Mancini dating back to 1921 is incredible. The quality of our products and our service is recognized by our consumers and retailers. Equally, we all recognize the major areas of focus our Company needs to immediately address to improve our cost structure, corporate culture as well as operational and financial controls – enabling us to more fully realize synergies across our family of brands and enhance profitability both from a price realization and operating cost perspective.
“MamaMancini’s is building the foundations for a national Deli Solutions company that – leveraging organic growth and expansion of our existing portfolio, incremental consumer-driven innovation, and accretive near-in acquisitions to fill out the gaps – has the potential to become a one-stop-shop for prepared foods for grocery, mass, club and convenience stores. I realize this is certainly no small feat – but I am confident that, with our storied, family recipes and on-trend portfolio, we are well positioned to achieve it.
“To address the specific headwinds we faced this quarter, we have been aggressive in seeking out new ways to strengthen our firm-wide margin profile. For example, we have instituted a new pricing process that more accurately and rapidly tracks inputs costs – including commodity costs – to ensure that every single sale we make is meeting our required margin profile. In addition, we are conducting a thorough analysis of our suppliers and have already identified several areas where we have the potential to realize meaningful cost savings. We have instituted KPIs to track progress, targets to measure success, and monthly meetings to hold our teams accountable for results. We believe that these efforts, as well as incremental improvements at every level of the company, will only serve to fuel our growth and accelerate our return to profitability.
“In summary, while we saw some margin headwinds in the quarter, we are well positioned to build significant momentum in calendar year 2023 as we drive organic growth, grow the team, expand our capabilities and seek to become brilliant at the basics – all with the goal of building sustainable value for our shareholders over the long-term. I look forward to driving new momentum towards the realization of MamaMancini’s significant potential.”
Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Results
Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 89.4% to $22.9 million, as compared to $12.1 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in revenue for the second quarter was primarily driven by the December 2021 acquisition of T&L Creative Salads, Inc. and Olive Branch LLC, as well as organic growth by adding new products with existing customers, particularly in club stores.
Gross profit totaled to $2.7 million, or 11.9% of total revenues, in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to $3.4 million, or 27.9% of total revenues, in the same year-ago quarter. The margin compression was caused by inflation of raw materials, packaging, and freight costs – which outpaced price increases – as well as lower margins in the T&L Creative Salads and Olive Branch LLC business lines, partially offset by the low overhead of the acquired businesses.
Operating expenses totaled $3.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to $2.8 million in the same year-ago quarter. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses totaled 15.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to 23.1% in the same year-ago quarter. Operating expenses in the second quarter increased mainly due to transportation rate increases as well as one-time fees related to the purchase of Chef Inspirational Foods, higher professional fees and payroll related to the acquisition of T&L Creative Salads and the management of control reporting.
Net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 totaled $743 thousand, or $0.02 per diluted share, as compared to a net income of $432 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the same year-ago quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA loss, a non-GAAP term, totaled $271 thousand for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, as compared to adjusted EBITDA of $829 thousand in the same year-ago quarter.
Cash and cash equivalents as of July 31, 2022 were $1.9 million, as compared to $0.9 million at January 31, 2022.
“Of note, our GAAP financial results year-to-date have reflected significant acquisition related and non-cash expenses. Taking a look at our cash flows, operating activities provided $296 thousand in net cash in the six months ended July 31, 2022. As we continue to realize synergies from the acquired companies and implement new measures company-wide to improve margins, I believe we are well positioned to return to GAAP profitability,” concluded Michaels.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the following non-GAAP measure – adjusted EBITDA, which is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance. The company believes this non-GAAP measure, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to the company’s results of operations. However, this non-GAAP measure has significant limitations in that it does not reflect all the costs and other items associated with the operation of the company’s business as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company’s non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently and are therefore not comparable to similar measures by other companies. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP. For a definition and reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, its corresponding GAAP measure, please see the reconciliation table shown in this press release below.
