The Marygold Companies Reports Financial Results for 2023 Second Fiscal Quarter

 

-Company Posts Profitable Operating Results, with Strong Balance Sheet-

 

-Enters Beta Testing Phase for New Fintech App,

Expected Soft Launch Later this Calendar Year-

 

 

San Clemente, Calif., February 14, 2023—The Marygold Companies, Inc. (“TMC,” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: MGLD), a diversified global holding firm, today reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter and six months ended December 31, 2022.

 

Net revenue for the second fiscal quarter of 2023 was $8.8 million, versus $9.4 million for the comparable prior year period. Net income for the 2023 second fiscal quarter amounted to $181,794, equal to approximately breakeven per share, compared with $1.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.

 

For the first half of the current fiscal year, net revenue was $17.7 million, versus $19.2 million a year ago. Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2022 increased to $678,962, equal to $0.02 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $857,658, or a net loss of $0.02 per share, in the same period a year ago, which included a legal settlement of $2.5 million in last fiscal year’s first quarter.

 

The Company’s balance sheet remained strong at December 31, 2022, with no debt. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $14.6 from $12.9 million at June 30, 2022. Total stockholders’ equity rose to $29.8 million at December 31, 2022, from $29.0 million at June 30, 2022, Total assets were $35.2 million at the close of the second fiscal quarter of 2023, compared with $35.3 million at June 30, 2022, with the slight decrease principally reflecting currency translation values in the Company’s foreign holdings.

 

“We are pleased to have achieved profitable operations during a period in which continued investments were made in the late development stages of our mobile fintech app at Marygold & Co., and when assets under management (AUM) at our largest subsidiary, USCF Investments, were lower than in the prior year,” said David Neibert, Chief Operations Officer of The Marygold Companies. Average AUM at USCF Investments was approximately $3.8 billion in the most recent quarter, compared with $4.2 billion for the end of the comparable period last year.

 

“Our non-financial operations - Original Sprout, Gourmet Foods and Brigadier Security Systems - felt the pressures of the continued inflationary environment in the quarter, although each was cash flow positive and posted operating income. Initiatives are being implemented to enhance the performance of these business units through changes in product mix and establishing new sales channels,” Neibert added.

 

“All segments of our business are sound and performing on plan, which we view as an outstanding achievement and a testament to our dedicated team in today’s challenging economic climate,” said Nicholas Gerber, TMC’s Chief Executive Officer. “At the same time, we are making great strides completing the development of our mobile fintech app to provide users with a unified platform for spending, saving and investing, while offering detailed transaction reporting coupled with ease of use. We expect to soft launch this exciting product later this calendar year.”
