The Inventure Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNAK) today reported financial
results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006.
Net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 were $17.6 million,
down 5% compared to $18.6 million in the third quarter of 2005. The
Company noted that third quarter 2005 results included an extra week of
revenue as its fiscal calendar produces a fifty three week year every
four years and the extra week occurred in third quarter 2005.
Normalizing revenue to account for the additional week, the Company
delivered modest net revenue growth despite significantly decreasing its
promotional spending. This growth was due to increased base business on
the Company’s potato chip brands and several
new T.G.I. Friday’s®
brand snack customers including Home Depot.
Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 was $0.3 million, or
$0.02 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(0.3)
million, or $(0.01) per basic and diluted share in the third quarter of
2005. The substantial improvement in net income was due to a 34%
increase in gross profit due to increased promotional spending
efficiencies as well as reduced selling, general and administrative
costs related to the company’s margin
improvement programs.
Mr. Eric J. Kufel, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The
Company is pleased with its progress in the third quarter as
profitability exceeded internal expectations. In the past nine months we
have built a capable new leadership team, shifted our promotional
strategy away from deep discounts to more value-added growth programs
and executed multiple business process improvement projects. As a
result, we believe we are now well positioned to deliver profitable
growth in 2007 and beyond.”
The Company reported that it is about to begin test marketing several
new products, including several new T.G.I. Friday’s®
brand products including Pizza chips and a new version of Quesadilla
snack chips, new Boulder Canyon Natural Foods™
products including Spinach and Artichoke flavor chips and new Poore
Brothers® brand products including Sweet Maui
Onion and Three Cheese Jalapeno. The Company continues to conduct
product development work on all brands and is contemplating several new
licensing opportunities. The Company has added contract manufacturing
customers to leverage its excess capacity and expects to grow its
contract manufacturing base in 2007 due to several new initiatives now
underway.
“In closing, we believe we have significantly
strengthened the Company’s operating
capabilities in 2006 and we plan to realize the benefits of those
efforts in 2007 by focusing on revenue and profit growth through
expanding distribution on our existing brands, increasing our pipeline
of new products and acquisition opportunities, continuing to improve our
key processes and systems, leveraging our manufacturing capacity and
building upon our Intensely Different™ culture,”
concluded Mr. Kufel.
