Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc.: Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Reports Fiscal Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Finanznachrichten News

DURANGO, Colo., Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Inc. (Nasdaq: RMCF) (the "Company", "we", or "RMCF"), an international franchisor and producer of premium chocolates and other confectionery products including gourmet caramel apples, is reporting financial and operating results for its fiscal second quarter ended August 31, 2024.

"We are pleased with our progress this quarter as we begin executing our multi-year strategic plan," said Jeff Geygan, Interim CEO of RMCF. "We have been focused on several critical areas of the business: strengthening the company's liquidity, rebuilding a strong executive team, expanding our franchise network, and laying a solid foundation for sustainable growth and profitability.

"In recent months, we welcomed several key team members, including a new CFO to lead our finance organization. We are also beginning to drive momentum with the expansion of our franchise network across eight strategic markets in the U.S., starting with a new store opening in Edmond, Oklahoma next month. We are finalizing new franchise agreements for three additional store locations, which we expect to announce in the coming weeks. At the same time, our rebranding initiative is nearly complete, and we anticipate unveiling the new store design by year-end, which will enhance the RMCF experience for both franchisees and consumers."

Geygan continued, "Subsequent to quarter end, we took an important step to improve our financial position with a new $6 million credit facility, which allowed us to retire our previous $4 million credit facility and raise additional capital for ongoing investments. With a strengthened balance sheet, improved liquidity and a committed franchise network, we believe we are well-positioned to execute our three-year strategic plan and drive RMCF toward sustainable growth and profitability."

Fiscal Q2 2025 Financial Results vs. Year-Ago Quarter

  • Total revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $6.4 million compared to $6.6 million in the year-ago quarter.
  • Total product and retail gross profit was $0.6 million compared to $0.4 million. Gross margin improved to 11.5% compared to 7.7%. The increase was primarily attributable to increased pricing and improved operating efficiencies.
  • Total Costs and Expenses were reduced to $7.3 million compared to $7.6 million in the year-ago period.
  • Net loss for the quarter was $0.7 million or ($0.11) per share, compared to net loss of $1.0 million or ($0.16) per share in fiscal Q2 2024.
