TOFUTTI ANNOUNCES UNAUDITED RESULTS FOR THE THIRTEEN AND TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JUNE 29, 2024
Cranford, New Jersey — November 18, 2024 — TOFUTTI BRANDS INC. (OTCQX Symbol: TOFB) today announced its results for thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024. Tofutti Brands reported that net sales for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2024 decreased by $529,000, or 21%, to $1,986,000, from net sales of $2,515,000 for the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023. Sales of our vegan cheese products decreased to $1,648,000 in the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2024 from $2,110,000 in the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023. Sales of our frozen dessert products decreased to $338,000 in the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2024 from $405,000 for the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in the sales of our vegan cheese products was due to the continued introduction of competitive products in the vegan cheese category and a decline of our export cheese business. The decrease in frozen dessert product sales was due to a decrease in sales of our frozen dessert pints.
Net sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024 decreased by $1,243,000, or 16%, to $6,481,000, from net sales of $7,724,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023. Sales of our vegan cheese products decreased to $5,383,000 in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024 from $6,492,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023. Sales of our frozen dessert products decreased to $1,098,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024 from $1,232,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023. The reduction in sales for the current thirty-nine week period was primarily due to the decrease in our vegan cheese sales caused by increased competition in the vegan cheese category and a decline in our export cheese business.
Our gross profit was $485,000 for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2024 and $786,000 for the thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023. Our gross profit percentage decreased to 24% for the thirteen weeks ending September 28, 2024 compared to 31% for the thirteen weeks ending September 30, 2023. Our gross profit decreased to $1,621,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024 from $2,059,000 for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023, while our gross profit percentage was 25% for the thirty-nine weeks ending September 28, 2024 compared to 27% for the thirty-nine weeks ending September 30, 2023. Our gross profit and gross profit percentage were negatively impacted by the decrease in sales of our vegan cheese products and frozen dessert pints and increased promotional activity to combat the increased competition in the vegan cheese market. The decrease in our gross profit and gross profit percentage was due to the reduction in sales.
We had net losses of $207,000, or $0.04 per share (basic and diluted) and $542,000 or $0.10 per share (basic and diluted), for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024, respectively, compared to net income of $110,000, or $0.02 (basic and diluted) per share and a net loss of $310,000 or $0.06 (basic and diluted) per share for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
As of September 28, 2024, we had approximately $176,000 in cash and our working capital was approximately $2,961,000, compared with approximately $837,000 in cash and working capital of $3,440,000 at December 30, 2023.
Mr. Steven Kass, Chief Executive and Financial Officer of the Company stated, “While our revenues and operating results were disappointing in the first thirty-nine weeks of 2024, we are working hard to replace lost sales and hope to improve our operating results in the fourth quarter and into 2025. We believe that our cash and available cash resources are sufficient for our operations and believe that we will improve our working capital position by year-end” concluded Mr. Kass.
