Tofutti Announces First Quarter Results
Revenues increase by 19% compared to first quarter 2015
CRANFORD, N.J., May 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- TOFUTTI BRANDS INC. (NYSE MKT Symbol: TOF) today announced its results for the thirteen week period ended April 2, 2016.
The Company reported net sales for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2016 of $3,742,000, an increase of $599,000, or 19%, from net sales of $3,143,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2015.
The Company reported that gross profit increased to $1,239,000 in the period ended April 2, 2016 from $745,000 in the period ended March 28, 2015. For the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2016, the Company reported operating income of $141,000 as compared with an operating loss of $372,000 for the comparable 2015 period.
Sales of the Company's frozen dessert and soy cheese products were positively impacted by the elimination of various sales promotions which increased the net selling prices of its products in the 2016 period. Sales of soy-cheese products increased to $2,723,000 in the 2016 period from $2,174,000 in the 2015 period. Sales of the Company's frozen dessert product line increased to $972,000 in the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2016 from $897,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2015. Sales of frozen food entrée products decreased to $47,000 in the 2016 thirteen week period from $72,000 in the 2015 thirteen week period, primarily as a result of production and sales issues related to the transition to a nine slice pizza package from a three slice package.
The Company had net income of $130,000, or $0.03 per share (basic and diluted), for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2016, compared to a net loss of $377,000, or $0.07 per share (basic and diluted), for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2015. As of April 2, 2016, the Company had approximately $94,000 in cash and cash equivalents and its working capital was approximately $2.7 million, compared with approximately $55,000 in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $2.2 million at January 2, 2016.
Mr. David Mintz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated, "Our efforts to increase our revenues were successful in the first thirteen weeks of 2016, as revenues increased by 19% over the comparable period in 2015. We are heartened by the substantial increases in soy cheese product and frozen dessert sales. We are working diligently to achieve improved operating results for the remainder of 2016," concluded Mr. Mintz.
