The Marygold Companies Reports Financial Results for Fiscal 2022

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Marygold Companies, Inc. ("Marygold" or the "Company") (NYSE American: MGLD) (formerly Concierge Technologies, Inc.), a diversified global holding firm, today reported financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.

Net revenues for the 2022 fiscal year amounted to $37.8 million, compared with $39.9 million for the fiscal year ended 2021. Net income for the 2022 fiscal year was $1.1 million, equal to $0.03 per share, versus $5.8 million, equal to $0.15 per share, for the fiscal year ended 2021.

For the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2022, revenues were $9.9 million, compared with $9.7 million for the same period last year. Net income for the most recent fourth quarter was $1.1 million, equal to $.03 per share, as compared to $0.7 million for the prior year.

During the year ended June 30, 2022, the Company's cash position and net income were negatively impacted by an aggregate of $5.7 million in expenses in connection with a cash payment of $2.5 million in the first fiscal quarter related to a legal settlement, and by an additional $3.2 million expensed during the year toward completion of the Marygold & Co. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) fintech mobile banking app.

The Company's balance sheet remained strong at June 30, 2022, with total assets increasing to $35.3 million from $31.5 million at the end of the prior fiscal year. Total stockholders' equity rose to $29.0 million at June 30, 2022, from $25.3 million a year ago. Cash and cash equivalents at the 2022 fiscal year-end amounted to $12.9 million, compared with $16.0 million at June 30, 2021, with the decline attributed to the aforementioned legal settlement expenses and product development costs. The Company ended the year essentially debt-free, after having paid its remaining related-party debt and interest of approximately $740,000 during the last quarter.

Revenues at the Company's principal subsidiary, USCF Investments, were $1.3 million lower during fiscal 2022 compared with the prior year because of lower average assets under management ("AUM"). For fiscal 2022, AUM averaged $4.4 billion, compared with $4.9 billion in fiscal 2021.

The Marygold Companies' other principal operating subsidiaries - Gourmet Foods, Brigadier Security Systems and Original Sprout - all were profitable but suffered shrinking margins, averaging approximately 18% below those of fiscal 2021, due primarily to the lingering impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with the effects of inflationary pressures, higher costs of raw materials, shipping and labor costs. Fiscal 2022 revenues for this group overall were off by approximately 5% from the revenues of fiscal 2021. Management expects this trend to be reversing as the global economy rebounds from the pandemic effects in the coming fiscal year.

"From a corporate development and operating perspective, excellent foundational progress was made in fiscal 2022 to position the Company for the future," said David Neibert, Chief Operations Officer of The Marygold Companies. "Among key accomplishments were the formation of a wholly owned subsidiary, Marygold & Co. (UK) Limited, which, in June 2022 acquired Tiger Financial & Asset Management Limited for approximately $2.9 million, an established and certified investment advisor in the U.K. Also during the fiscal year, the Company's securities were up listed to the New York American Stock Exchange, and we changed our corporate name to align with our Marygold & Co. subsidiary, which is currently beta testing its proprietary consumer fintech app for sending, receiving, spending and saving securely through mobile devices."

Nicholas Gerber, Chief Executive Officer, said, "I am proud of our talented, hard-working team, which enabled the Company to maintain profitability and accomplish so much in a challenging external economic environment. We achieved many corporate objectives during the past year in keeping with our overarching goal of building a diversified, profitable and stable corporation that provides long-term value for our shareholders."
