Management Commentary

"Our third-quarter performance demonstrates the continued strength and discipline behind our growth strategy," said Deanna Jurgens, Chief Executive Officer of Armanino Foods. "Strong demand across Foodservice and International channels, along with margin expansion from pricing and operational efficiencies, fueled another quarter of double-digit growth."

"At our recent shareholder meeting, I spoke about unlocking Armanino's full potential, and these results show that momentum. We're reinvesting our gains into automation, process improvements, and talent to build the foundation for sustainable scale. While these initiatives, paired with ongoing macro pressures, may create near-term cost pressure, they are critical to positioning Armanino for long-term success."

"With a debt-free balance sheet, strong cash flow, and a disciplined capital allocation strategy, we remain well positioned to execute on our growth priorities and deliver continued value for our shareholders," Jurgens concluded.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Net sales for the third quarter of 2025 increased 11% to $19.7 million, compared to $17.7 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase was largely attributable to strong growth across our Foodservice and International channels in our core pesto sauces.

Gross profit increased 23% to $9.7 million, or 49.5% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $7.9 million, or 44.8% of net sales, in the same year-ago quarter. The improvement reflects strong pricing discipline, an improved sales mix, and ongoing operational efficiency improvements.

Operating expenses totaled $3.6 million, or 18.1% of sales, compared to $2.7 million, or 15.2% of sales, in the year-ago quarter. The increase reflects strategic investments in talent and systems, as well as non-cash incentive costs.

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 16% to $4.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $4.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the same year-ago quarter. Net income margin improved 110 basis points to 24.3%.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $24.6 million as of September 30, 2025, as compared to $28.2 million as of December 31, 2024. The change primarily reflects stock buybacks and a 25% increase in the quarterly dividends paid to shareholders. Armanino Foods remains debt free.
