The Marygold Companies Reports Financial Results For Fiscal Year and Fourth Quarter Ended June 30, 2024

The Marygold Companies, Inc. (“TMC” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: MGLD), a diversified global holding firm, today reported financial results for the fiscal year and fourth quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Revenue for the 2024 fiscal year amounted to $32.8 million, compared with $34.9 million for the 2023 fiscal year. The Company sustained a net loss of $4.1 million, equal to a net loss of $0.10 per share, for fiscal 2024, compared with net income of $1.2 million, equal to $0.03 per share, for the prior fiscal year.

For the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2024, revenue was $8.3 million, compared with $8.9 million for the same period last year. Net loss for the most recent fourth quarter was $1.9 million, equal to $0.05 per share, compared with net income of $0.3 million, or $0.03 per share, for the prior year period. The primary contributor to losses incurred for the fourth quarter this year was an impairment taken by Original Sprout of approximately $1.4 million.

At the close of fiscal 2024, total stockholders’ equity totaled $26.6 million, compared with $30.4 million at June 30, 2023, and total assets were $32.9 million, versus $35.3 million a year ago. Cash and cash equivalents at year-end were $5.5 million, compared with $8.2 million at the close of the prior fiscal year, with the decline principally reflecting ongoing expenses in connection with completing the development of the Company’s mobile fintech app and use of cash for a deposit for a potential equity investment in a financial institution and the acquisition of a financial services company in the UK.

“As TMC implemented its plans for the future, operating results for the year were impacted by a number of factors, including continued investments in our Marygold & Co. subsidiary, lower assets under management (AUM) by 11% at TMC’s largest operating unit, USCF Investments, and a $1.4 million non-cash, impairment charge in connection with the Original Sprout subsidiary,” said David Neibert, Chief Operations Officer. “During the fiscal 2024 year, the Company invested $5.7 million in Marygold & Co. toward the development and launch of its mobile fintech app. Additionally, the Company invested $1.0 million in its Marygold & Co. (UK) subsidiary to assist it with the acquisition of Step By Step Financial Planners and remit final payment for the acquisition of Tiger Financial & Asset Management Limited.

“Despite the average AUM at USCF Investments declining from $3.7 billion in fiscal 2023 to $3.3 billion in fiscal 2024, the company remains highly profitable and is expected to continue the launch of newly registered Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”) during the coming year. Our foreign subsidiaries also recorded profits in line with expectations in New Zealand and in Canada, while our California subsidiary, Original Sprout, continued to post an operating loss due to new product development costs and the ongoing restructuring of its sales channels as a result of online consumer buying trends post-COVID. In the U.K., we were pleased during the year to have completed the acquisition of two investment advisory firms. Each is envisioned to provide an outstanding launch platform for our mobile fintech app in the coming fiscal year,” Neibert added.

Nicholas Gerber, TMC’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “We made good progress during the past year toward a refocus on financial services, but it came at a cost. All of our investments in the future are recorded as expenses, so we posted an operating loss for the year. We dug into cash reserves, and we redirected operating profits toward the Marygold project, meaning Marygold & Co., Marygold Advisory Services LLC, and Marygold & Co. (UK). I believe our innovative digital platform is like nothing on the market, enabling users to spend, invest and save. A total of more than $15 million has been invested in this project over the past five years, all from internally generated funds, and I believe it is finally at an inflection point for significantly broader U.S. rollout and introduction to the U.K. marketplace.

“Our objective remains to provide shareholder value by operating the Company for the long-term, which often means making some challenging short-term investment decisions, as was the case during fiscal 2024. I thank all of our shareholders for their patience and ongoing support, and express deep gratitude to our talented team throughout the globe for their hard work and dedication, which I am confident will pay off in time for all.”
