The Marygold Companies Reports Financial Results for 2023 First Fiscal Quarter
11/14/2022 - 04:40 PM
-Company Remains Profitable, with Strong Balance Sheet-
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. --(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Marygold Companies, Inc. (“TMC,” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: MGLD) (formerly Concierge Technologies, Inc. ), a diversified global holding firm, today reported financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022 .
Net revenues for the first fiscal quarter of 2023 were $8.9 million , versus $9.7 million for the first three months of fiscal 2022. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $497 thousand , equal to 0.01 per share, compared with a net loss of $1.9 million , or a loss of $0.05 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 , which included a legal settlement of $2.5 million .
The Company’s balance sheet remained strong at September 30, 2022 . Cash and cash equivalents grew to $13.4 million at September 30, 2022 , from $12.9 million at June 30, 2022 . Total assets amounted to $34.9 million , compared with $35.3 million at June 30, 2022 . The decrease in total assets is attributed to currency translation values in the Company’s foreign holdings in New Zealand , Canada and the U.K. , where the U.S. dollar strengthened significantly against these currencies, reducing the value of foreign assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Total stockholders’ equity rose to $29.2 million at September 30, 2022 , from $29.0 million at June 30, 2022 , despite the negative impact of foreign currency translations.
“Our principal operating units were each profitable for the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, although the Company’s consolidated performance was impacted primarily by two factors: lower assets under management (“AUM”) at USCF Investments, our largest subsidiary, and the continuing investment toward development of our mobile fintech app at Marygold & Co. ,” said David Neibert , Chief Operations Officer of The Marygold Companies . “While average AUM at USCF Investments dropped by approximately $300 million from June 30 to September 30, 2022 , revenues were only down by approximately $238 thousand from those of the quarter ended September 30, 2021 .
“Our other operating subsidiaries, Original Sprout, Gourmet Foods and Brigadier Security Systems , had approximately the same revenue performance as in the comparable prior year quarter. However, the gross profit from each of these business units were 2% to 9% higher than the prior year, due in large part to a transition toward a more profitable product mix and sales channels,” Neibert added.
Nicholas Gerber , TMC’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our multi-operating unit strategy is working and producing profitable results for our shareholders. With stable, sustainable earnings from our subsidiaries, we are able to continue our investment in new ventures, namely Marygold & Co. We are excited about the progress being made completing the development of a mobile fintech app, which straddles both the consumer and financial services sectors. The mobile banking app, now in final testing phases, has been developed to provide users with a unified platform for spending, saving and investing, while offering detailed transaction reporting coupled with ease of use.”
