Mama's Creations, Inc.: Form 10-Q for the period ended Apr 30, 2026

The following management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in this report, as well as our subsequent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K and any amendments to such reports.

Overview

Mama’s Creations, Inc. is a leading marketer, manufacturer, and distributor of fresh deli prepared foods, found in over 12,000 grocery, mass, club and convenience stores nationally. The Company’s broad product portfolio, born from MamaMancini’s rich history in Italian foods, now consists of a variety of high-quality, fresh, clean and easy-to-prepare foods to address the needs of both our consumers and retailers. Our vision is to become a one-stop-shop deli solutions platform, leveraging vertical integration and a diverse family of brands to offer a wide array of prepared foods to meet the changing demands of the modern consumer.

Recent Trends

We continue to monitor commodity costs so that we can purchase ingredients, packaging and other materials required for production. A variety of other factors may impact the cost and availability of raw materials. Although almost all our inputs are sourced domestically and our manufacturing facilities are all in the United States, we continue to expect that recent tariff volatility will have a limited and manageable impact on the Company. We address commodity costs primarily through competitive sourcing procedures and manufacturing and overhead cost control. While certain ingredient costs have recently declined, we continue to face higher fuel and freight expenses as well as rising labor costs, all of which have negatively impacted profitability. The Company looks to offset rising costs through increased efficiencies and price increases to our customers. Market dynamics, promotional incentives, or other factors may cause our pricing actions to lag changes in supply and commodity costs.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended April 30, 2026 and 2025

The following table sets forth the summary of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):

For the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company reported net income of approximately $2.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The change in net income between the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025 is due to the changes in net sales, costs of sales and operating expenses described below.

Net sales: Net Sales increased by approximately 50%, to $52.8 million, during the three months ended April 30, 2026, from $35.3 million during the three months ended April 30, 2025. The increase in sales is primarily due to increased velocities of existing items driven by new marketing and trade programs, new customers, and new products associated with product innovation initiatives and the acquisistion of the Crown 1 business in the September 2025.

Costs of sales: Costs of sales increased by approximately 55%, to $40.3 million, or 76% of Net Sales, during the three months ended April 30, 2026, from $26.1 million, or 74% of Net Sales, during the three months ended April 30, 2025. The increase in cost of sales is due to higher sales, partially offset by increased operational efficiencies resulting from increased overhead, labor and procurement efficiencies.

Gross Profit Margin: The gross profit margin was 24% and 26% of Net Sales for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The year-over-year margin rate change was primarily driven by increased labor and overhead associated with new product launches.

Operating Expenses: Operating expenses increased approximately $2.2 million during the three months ended April 30, 2026, as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2025. The change in total operating expenses are primarily attributable to the following:

• Freight-related expenses increased by approximately $0.6 million mainly due to increased sales;
• Payroll and Related Expenses, inclusive of stock-based compensation, increased by approximately $0.6 million mainly due to additional employees associated with the acquisition of the Crown 1 business and variable compensation arrangements;
• Other operating expenses increased by approximately $0.3 million due to additional software and EDI related expenses, travel, and office expenses;
• Insurance related expenses increased by approximately $0.2 million, primarily due to the growth of the Company;
• Professional fees increased by approximately $0.2 million, primarily due to the growth of the Company; and
• Commission and royalty expenses increased by approximately $0.2 million due to increased sales.

Other Expenses, net: Other expenses, net decreased by approximately $31 thousand, to $30 thousand, for the three months ended April 30, 2026, as compared to $61 thousand for the three months ended April 30, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to higher interest income, which is due to a higher average cash balance in the current year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We finance our operations with internally generated funds, supplemented by credit arrangements with third parties and, potentially, capital market financing.

Working Capital

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at April 30, 2026 compared to January 31, 2026 (in thousands):

As of April 30, 2026, we had working capital of approximately $27.8 million as compared to working capital of approximately $24.3 million as of January 31, 2026. The increase in working capital is primarily attributable to an increase of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in inventory of approximately $0.6 million and a decrease in prepaid expenses of approximately $0.3 million.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the key components of our cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands);

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2025 was approximately $6.0 million, which consisted of net income of approximately $1.2 million, non-cash expenses of approximately $1.3 million, and a net positive change in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $3.5 million.

Credit Facility & Indebtedness

As of April 30, 2026, we had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving line of credit available under our Credit Agreement and approximately $5.3 million outstanding under our Crown Note with M&T. The Crown Note has a maturity date of October 1, 2030. We also have operating leases for offices and other facilities used for our operations and finance leases comprised primarily of machinery and equipment leases, as discussed in Item 1. Note 7.

Liquidity and Capital Requirements Outlook

Although the expected revenue growth and control of expenses leads management to believe that it is probable that the Company’s cash resources will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements through at least the next twelve months, based on current and projected levels of operations, the Company may require additional funding to finance growth or achieve its strategic objectives. If such financing is required, there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In the event funding is not available on reasonable terms, the Company might be required to change its growth strategy and/or seek funding on an alternative basis, but there is no guarantee it will be able to do so.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 of Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted that may impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, earnings, cash flows or disclosures.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates previously described in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.

There have been no material changes to our quantitative or qualitative disclosures previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who serve as our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, respectively, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met.

As of April 30, 2026, we evaluated, with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, that occurred during our last quarter to which this Quarterly Report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously described in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.
