TOFUTTI ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR QUARTER ENDED MARCH 29, 2025
Edison, New Jersey, May 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOFUTTI BRANDS INC. (OTCQB Symbol: TOFB) issued its results for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2025 today.
Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 decreased by $621,000, or 28%, from net sales of $2,212,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024 to $1,591,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025. Sales of our vegan cheese products decreased to $1,373,000 in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 from $1,809,000 in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. Our sales were negatively impacted by increased competition in the vegan cheese category and a pause in orders resulting from the uncertainty created by the proposed new tariffs to be implemented by the U.S. and foreign countries that we sell to.
Our gross profit increased to $589,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 from $470,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024, due principally to significant price increases implemented at the end of 2024. Our gross profit percentage was 37% for the thirteen weeks ending March 29, 2025 compared to 21% for the thirteen weeks ending March 30, 2024.
Total operating expenses decreased to $750,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 from $772,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. As a result of the foregoing, we recorded an operating loss of $161,000 in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 compared with an operating loss of $302,000 in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024. We recorded a net loss of $162,000 ($0.03 per share) in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 compared with a net loss of $303,000 ($0.06 per share) in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024.
