Cranford, New Jersey, May 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOFUTTI BRANDS INC. (OTCQX Symbol: TOFB) today issued its results for the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2024.

Tofutti Brands reported net sales of $2,212,000, a decrease of $278,000 or 11%, from net sales of $2,490,000 for the fiscal quarter ended April 1, 2023. Sales of our vegan cheese products decreased to $1,809,000 in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024 from $2,100,000 in the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2023, due to increased competition in the vegan cheese category. Sales of our frozen dessert products increased slightly to $403,000 in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024 from $390,000 for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2023.

Our gross profit decreased to $470,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024 from $606,000 for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2023, principally due to the reduction in sales. Our gross profit percentage was 21% for the thirteen weeks ending March 30, 2024 compared to 24% for the thirteen weeks ending April 1, 2023. Our gross profit percentage decreased partly due to the fact that our frozen dessert product sales accounted for a higher percentage of total sales. Our gross profit percentage is significantly lower on frozen dessert products versus our cheese products. Continued cost increases in certain key ingredients and packaging also negatively affected our gross profit and gross profit percentage.

We incurred a net loss of $303,000, or $0.06 per share (basic and diluted) for the quarter ended March 30, 2024 compared to a net loss of $102,000, or $0.02 per share (basic and diluted), for the quarter ended April 1, 2023.
