CRANFORD, N.J., May 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TOFUTTI BRANDS INC. (NYSE Amex: TOF) today announced its results for the thirteen week period ended April 3, 2010.
Financial Highlights for the Quarter
- Revenues for the first quarter were approximately $4.6 million compared to $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2009.
- Operating income in the first quarter was $475,000 compared to $253,000 in the first quarter of 2009.
- Net income for the first quarter was $275,000 compared to $152,000 in the first quarter of 2009.
The Company reported net sales for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010 of approximately $4.6 million compared with net sales of $4.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2009. The increase in net sales can be attributed to the improving economic climate. Sales of the Company's soy-cheese products improved while sales of its frozen dessert products maintained their 2009 levels.
For the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010, the Company reported an increase of $222,000 in income before income taxes to $475,000 as compared with income before income taxes of $253,000 for the comparable 2009 period. The Company also reported that its gross profit increased to $1,614,000 in the period ended April 3, 2010 from $1,371,000 in the period ended March 28, 2009 due to the higher level of sales. The Company's gross profit percentage increased to 35% for the period ending April 3, 2010 compared to 33% for the period ending March 28, 2009. The improvement in the Company's gross profit percentage was due primarily to the discontinuance of slower selling, lower margin products in 2009.
Net income for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2010 increased to $275,000 ($0.05 per share) compared to $152,000 ($0.03 per share) for the thirteen week period ended March 28, 2009.
Mr. David Mintz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated, "Our improved results in the first quarter of 2010 reflect the general improvement in the economic climate and our decision to drop certain low profit margin products that we sold in the 2009 period. We continue to concentrate on our core business of non-dairy frozen desserts and soy-cheese products and believe this strategy will continue to provide positive results. We look forward to improvements in our sales and operating income during the upcoming summer months."
