Our full year and fourth quarter e-commerce results demonstrate the power and scalability of our DTC e-commerce platform.

I am extremely proud of our success during 2020 and excited by the opportunities we have to grow our brands and create long-term value for our shareholders in 2021 and beyond,” concluded Mr. Klepfish.

Financial Results

E-commerce revenue for full year 2020 increased by over 100%, driven by the Company’s ability to increase conversion rates and sales. Deferred revenue which includes e-commerce orders associated with the Company’s subscription services, including both Mouth and iGourmet, and representing a pipeline of future revenues, increased by nearly 500% to $2.9 million at December 31, 2020, compared to $0.5 million at December 31, 2019. Revenues in the 2020 fourth quarter declined to $15.1 million compared to $17.7 million in the 2019 fourth quarter as specialty foodservice revenues declined 43% to $6.8 million, as a result of the continued impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on the foodservice industry. This decline was partially offset by strong e-commerce revenue growth of over 50% to $7.9 million in the 2020 fourth quarter, compared to $5.3 million in e-commerce revenues in the 2019 fourth quarter.

2020 full year total revenue was $51.7 million compared to $57.9 million in 2019. The decline in full year 2020 revenue was driven by an approximately 40% decline in foodservice revenues as a result of the continued impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on the foodservice industry. This decline which was partially offset by strong e-commerce revenue growth of over 100%.
