The Marygold Companies Reports Financial Results For the Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2022

--Company Reports Consolidated Profits, as Investment Continues with Development of Marygold Mobile Fintech App--

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Marygold Companies, Inc. (NYSE American: MGLD) (the “Company” or “The Marygold Companies”) (formerly Concierge Technologies, Inc.), a diversified global holding firm, today reported financial results for the third fiscal quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2022.

On March 14, 2022, the Company completed an upsized underwritten public offering (which included the exercise, in full, of the over-allotment option) of an aggregate of 1,897,500 shares of common stock at $2.00 per share, receiving gross proceeds of approximately $3.7 million. Maxim Group LLC acted as sole book-running manager for the transaction.

“Our third fiscal quarter marked a milestone in the Company’s history and the start of a new era in our corporate development,” said Nicholas Gerber, Chief Executive Officer of The Marygold Companies. “With the up-listing of our shares to the NYSE American LLC, and our new ticker symbol to go with the change in our corporate name, the message is clear that our focus is on achieving solid returns for our shareholders.

“Our new corporate name signifies the Company’s evolution since its formation as a global holding firm in 2015, while the NYSE American listing is providing greater liquidity for our shareholders. Through hard work and dedication, our entire team has enabled us to achieve both of these longstanding objectives. To those shareholders who have been with us since 2002, thank you for your patience.”

Revenues for the third fiscal quarter totaled $9 million, compared with $10 million a year ago. Net income for the most recent three-month period was $0.9 million, equal to $0.02 per fully diluted per share, compared with $1.6 million, or $0.04 per fully diluted share, last year. Assets under management at our USCF Investments subsidiary continued strong at approximately $5 billion as of March 31, 2022.

“While on a consolidated basis we were profitable for the third quarter, the Company’s consumer-based subsidiary performances were impacted by several factors, including global supply chain issues, coupled with markedly higher shipping costs in New Zealand and the U.S., which contributed to lower profit margins. We also continued to invest in our Marygold & Co. subsidiary, which is completing the development of a mobile fintech app. Costs related to that development are expensed at the parent level, and are a major component of the differences in net income for the comparative quarterly periods,” said David Neibert, The Marygold Companies’ Chief Operations Officer. “As the Marygold mobile app is finalized, and the effects of the COVID pandemic begin to ease, we are expecting expenses and cost of goods sold to return to lower levels.”

For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, consolidated revenues totaled $28 million, compared with $30 million for the same period last year. Net income for the nine-month period amounted to $12 thousand, equal to breakeven per share, versus net income of $5 million, or $0.13 per fully diluted share, for the comparable period last year. The decrease in net income for the current year-to-date period was primarily due to the $2.5 million settlement in connection with the Company’s indirect subsidiary, United States Commodity Funds, LLC, and United States Oil Fund, LP, which are related business units of USCF Investments. Also contributing to lower earnings were the fintech app development costs, which totaled $1.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2022.

The Marygold Companies’ balance sheet at March 31, 2022 showed a continuing trend of strengthening. Total assets rose to $34 million, from $32 million as of June 30, 2021. Cash and cash equivalents remained at $16 million while stockholders’ equity increased to $28 million as of March 31, 2022, from $25 million as of June 30, 2021. The Company remains essentially debt free.

“We are tremendously excited about the development of the Marygold app, which is nearing completion. We believe the finished mobile app will be embraced as a unique fintech offering, enabling consumers to send, receive, spend, save, invest, and earn money securely through mobile devices. Beta testing is expected to begin within the coming months, and the app is expected to be launched before the end of calendar 2022,” Gerber added, “To monitor its progress or enroll on the user wait list, please visit the website at www.marygoldandco.com."
