(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 its financial results for the three months ended October 31, 2015.

Fiscal Third Quarter 2015 Business and Financial Highlights

  • Cash used in operating activities was ($131,000) an improvement of $1.2 million from ($1,341,000) in the prior year.
  • Net operating loss was ($358,000), an improvement of $390,000 over the prior year period.
  • Net loss of ($996,000) or ($0.04) per basic and diluted share, compared with ($774,000) or ($0.03) per basic and diluted share. The loss in the third quarter of 2015 includes a write-off of non-operating debt restructuring expense of $380,000, other non-cash charges of $92,000 and interest expense of $145,000.
  • Gross profit margin increased to 30% of sales compared to 28% in the same period last year.
  • Sales were down 14% from prior year. Prior year sales included 23% of negative margin accounts which have been eliminated. The Company foresees positive year-over-year sales growth in calendar 2016.
  • Subsequent to quarter end, 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.
  • The Company does not foresee a need to issue additional equity in the near future.
  • Positive cash EBITDA (excluding stock compensation) of $25,000 for the month of October 2015.
  • The Company expects operating cash earnings (excluding non-cash expenses) to be break-even going forward.

Carl Wolf, Chief Executive Officer of MamaMancini's, commented, "Our continued focus on lowering operating expenses, pruning underperforming accounts from our portfolio and expanding our distribution footprint of high-quality retailers is resulting in positive outcomes for our business. During the third quarter, we delivered a higher gross margin and substantially decreased our operating and net losses. By adjusting our pricing, eliminating unprofitable accounts and prudently spending on sales and marketing, our new sales have improved margin profiles and are setting us on a path to achieve break-even from an operating cash flow perspective in the fall of 2015.

Mr. Wolf added, "We are committed to achieving and sustaining profitable growth by expanding our distribution footprint and increasing product placements with our retailers in order to increase our operating cash flow. Just last month we received new authorizations for distribution representing over 2,200 new product placements, in additional locations within the Safeway, Albertsons, Randalls, Associated Grocers, Whole Foods and Lowes Supermarkets retail chains at locations across the United States. We expect to place new products in each of these supermarkets by the end of January, 2016."

"Our relationship with QVC also remains strong with the expansion of our all natural products from two to seven since September 1st," concluded Mr. Wolf. "Our relationship with QVC allows us to reach into millions of households across the country in a relatively short period of time. The QVC audience responds extremely well each time Dan Mancini makes an appearance and we are encouraged by the opportunities for additional sales from this important distribution channel."

Summary Financial Results
Sales, net of slotting fees and discounts, were $3.2 million for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2015, a decrease of 14% from $3.8 million for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2014. The decrease in sales is primarily related to the Company's deliberate termination of certain unprofitable accounts, which accounted for 23% of sales in the prior year. The Company has sold into approximately 10,150 retail and grocery locations as of October 31, 2015, compared to approximately 10,500 locations at October 31, 2014.

Gross profit was $1.0 million, or 30% of sales, for the three months ended October 31, 2015 compared to $1.1 million, or 28% of sales, in the year ago period.

Net loss for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2015 was ($976,000), or ($0.04) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(774,000), or ($0.03) per basic and diluted share, in the prior year.

Cash Used in Operating Activities for the three months ended October 31, 2015 was ($131,000) compared to ($1.3) million in the prior year period, an improvement of $1.2 million.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, on November 20, 2015 the Company completed a convertible preferred equity financing (the "Offering") which began on June 8, 2015, resulting in $1.8 million in net proceeds. The Company's management was responsible for investing $1.0 million in the Offering. With the proceeds from the Offering, and the refinancing of the Company's note with Manatuck Hill Partners, LLC, the Company does not foresee raising additional equity capital in the near future.
