Cranford, New Jersey, April 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOFUTTI BRANDS INC. (OTCQX Symbol: TOFB) issued its results for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 today.
Tofutti Brands reported net sales for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 of $12,590,000, a decrease of $1,225,000 or 9%, from net sales of $13,815,000 for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021. Sales of vegan cheese products decreased to $10,761,000 in the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 from $11,669,000 in the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021. Sales of our frozen dessert and frozen food product lines decreased to $1,829,000 in the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 from $2,146,000 in the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021. Overall, our sales were negatively impacted by the discontinuance of several frozen desserts and cheese products during the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 and various COVID-19 issues affecting our product distribution.
The Company’s gross profit for the year ended January 1, 2022 decreased by $911,000 to $3,342,000 from $4,253,000 for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021. Our gross profit percentage for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 was 27% compared to 31% for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021. The dollar decline in gross profit was due principally to the decline in total sales accompanied by increases in ingredient and packaging costs.
The Company had net income of $143,000, or $0.03 per share (basic and diluted), for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022, compared to net income of $596,000, or $0.12 (basic) and $0.11 (diluted) per share, for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021.
As of January 1, 2022, the Company had approximately $1,698,000 in cash and our working capital was approximately $4,326,000, compared with approximately $1,459,000 in cash and working capital of $4,639,000 at January 2, 2021. The increase in cash during the year ended January 1, 2021 was due to the $689,000 provided by operating activities, which benefitted from improved accounts receivable collection, and increased further due to reduced inventory, and $50,000 provided by investing activities, offset by $500,000 used in repaying an outstanding convertible note.
Mr. Steven Kass, Chief Executive and Financial Officer of the Company stated, “We are pleased with our continued success in generating cash from operations which has resulted in our strong cash and working capital position at January 1, 2022. We believe that the production difficulties that impacted our revenues in 2021 have been resolved and that we are poised to achieve improved revenues in the coming years,” concluded Mr. Kass.
