The Marygold Companies Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter and First Half of Fiscal 2024

The Marygold Companies, Inc. (“TMC,” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: MGLD), a diversified global holding firm, today reported financial results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023.

Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was $8.5 million, compared with $8.8 million, last year. The Company registered a net loss of $1.2 million, equal to a loss of $0.03 per share, for the fiscal 2024 second quarter, principally reflecting continued investment in the Marygold & Co. fintech app. TMC reported net income of $0.2 million, or approximately breakeven per share, for the same quarter a year ago.

For the six-month period ended December 31, 2023, revenue was $16.7 million, versus $17.7 million for the comparable period last year. A net loss of $1.7 million, or $0.04 per share, was recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2023, versus net income of $0.7 million, equal to $0.02 per fully diluted share, for the same period a year ago.

TMC’s balance sheet remained strong at December 31, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $6.2 million and investments totaled $12.4 million at the end of the quarter, and the Company has essentially no debt. Total assets at December 31, 2023, were $35 million, and total stockholders’ equity at quarter’s end was $29 million.

“Operating results are within the range of expectations,” said David Neibert, TMC’s Chief Operations Officer. “Our core businesses are all operating efficiently and producing cash, which is being used to build our fintech business under the Marygold & Co. brand. The more we earn at our other divisions, the more we can invest in growing the fintech app. As we are seeing, those investments will continue to negatively impact TMC’s income statement over the near term until our mobile banking app gains traction. While we are not showing profits at the consolidated level, the fundamentals of our Company remain on solid footing, and we are building what we believe to be a highly valued business and doing so without any dilutive effects of equity or debt funding from outside sources.”

Nicholas Gerber, TMC’s Chief Executive Officer, added, “We have started the marketing of our innovative fintech app, a unique mobile app with a debit card feature that enables account holders to invest in Money Pools, send money to anyone in the U.S., monitor spending habits and budgets, and to transact business at retailers throughout the world. In the background, we are readying even more features to be incorporated into the app, as daily onboarding of new accountholders increases. Following our successful soft launch in the second half of 2023, we are excited as ever that Marygold & Co. is gaining attention. I strongly believe that the strategy of using of our capital reserves to develop this app, versus borrowing or diluting our shareholders, will prove to be a sound investment as the true value is realized in the coming years.”
