Record-Breaking Quarter for Sales and Profit

PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Armanino Foods of Distinction, Inc. (OTCQX: AMNF), a leading international manufacturer of frozen pesto, globally inspired sauces, and filled pasta, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Financial Summary:

Financial and Business Highlights

• Record Net Sales: Achieved an all-time high, driven by strong performance in both foodservice and international channels. Growth was fueled by continued distribution gains and new customer acquisitions.
• Robust Gross Profit: Delivered double-digit growth, supported by solid results across our core pesto and global sauce portfolios. Margin improvements were driven by strategic sourcing, increased volumes, and favorable raw material pricing.
• Stable Operating Expenses: Held steady at 13.9% of net sales, consistent with the prior year, despite ongoing investments in organizational growth.
• Record Net Income: Reached a new high of $4.8 million, or $0.15 per share, up from $3.8 million, or $0.11 per share, in Q2 2024 鈥� a 30% increase in earnings per share.
• Disciplined Capital Management: Working capital totaled $25.7 million on June 30, 2025, slightly down from $26.1 million at year end, reflecting increased shareholder returns through dividends and share repurchases under the Company鈥檚 buyback program.
• Healthy Liquidity: Cash and cash equivalents stood at $23 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $28 million at year-end. The $5.1 million decline was primarily due to dividend payments and share repurchases. Current cash levels remain more than sufficient to fund operations over the next 12 months.
• Inventory Build: Inventory rose to $7.6 million, a deliberate move to increase safety stock in anticipation of strong second-half demand.
• Strategic Investment: The Company is finalizing plans to invest an additional $1.5 million in 2025 to expand manufacturing capacity in support of continued demand.
• Brand Expansion: With a diverse portfolio of innovative pesto flavors, we are accelerating Armanino brand expansion in the U.S. to drive market share gains, while also preparing for continued international growth, pending stabilization of global tariffs.

CEO Commentary

Deanna Jurgens, President and Chief Executive Officer of Armanino Foods, stated:

鈥淲e are proud to report another quarter of record-breaking sales and profits 鈥� a milestone that reflects both the strength of our operating model and our disciplined execution. Our sustained top-line growth was driven by continued momentum in our foodservice and international businesses, supported by distribution expansion and new customer acquisition.

We also delivered meaningful margin improvement this quarter. Strategic cost management, favorable raw material sourcing, and scale efficiencies in our core pesto and global sauce lines contributed to strong gross profit growth. At the same time, we held operating expenses flat as a percentage of sales, even as we continued to invest in building long-term capabilities.

We remain focused on disciplined capital allocation. During the quarter, we returned capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, while preserving a healthy cash position and funding strategic investments.

Looking ahead, we are finalizing plans to invest further in expanding our manufacturing capacity to support future growth. While we remain focused on potential macroeconomic headwinds 鈥� including early signs of softness in parts of the restaurant sector and evolving international trade dynamics 鈥� we view these as short-term challenges that we are well-prepared to manage.

Our long-term strategy is clear: continue growing a high-margin, capital-efficient business anchored in strong customer relationships, operational excellence, and category leadership. With a resilient model and a strong track record of execution, we are confident in our ability to deliver sustained performance and meaningful value for our shareholders over the long term.鈥�
