Reaffirms Revenue and Earnings Goal Guidance
East Rutherford, NJ, Jan. 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MamaMancini's Holdings, Inc. (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 issued a Current Report on Form 8-K/A which includes the results of the recently-acquired Joseph Epstein Foods Enterprises, Inc. (JEFE) on a consolidated basis with the Company. As previously announced, the acquisition of JEFE occurred on November 1, 2017.
The Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations indicates that Gross Profit would have increased by 2% of sales on a combined basis (compared to the results previously reported by the Company). On a combined basis consolidated net income for the nine- month period would have been $206,149.
The results of JEFE reflect a higher cost of goods sold than previously estimated by the Company in its initial analysis. Management believes that, going forward, the cost of goods sold for the combined Companies will be lower as a percentage of sales in future quarters compared to the pro forma results of the combined companies reflected as of October 10, 2017.
Company management has previously stated their belief that the JEFE merger will be accretive by approximately $1,500,000 in the 12 months commencing November 1, 2017. Company management maintains that belief.
Company management also believes that their indicated goal of an annualized sales run rate of $40,000,000 can be achieved over the next several months and that an EBITDA run rate of $5,500,000 to $6,000,000 can be achieved within the same period.
Finally, Company management maintains its belief that the Company can achieve its goal of an $8,000,000 annualized EBITDA run rate once its annualized sales goal of $50,000,000 is achieved. Company management's goal is to achieve this by mid to late fiscal year 2019. The foregoing represents Company management’s goal and should not be deemed to be or interpreted as a projection.
Company management continually reviews the Company’s ongoing operations and goals. Obviously, the goals stated are based upon management's analysis of present and future operations and are subject to change in the future.
