Tim Anderson, President and CEO of Armanino Foods, stated, “We continue to track toward record sales and profits for 2023 with YTD results outpacing prior year results. While our Q2 Net Sales results reflect a shortfall versus 2022 due to economic headwinds and somewhat one-time prior year sales benefit, our overall performance for the first six months continue to outpace 2022 results, which set records for both sales and net income. Going forward, we see continued success in executing our long-term strategies as well as lower prices on key commodities which drive COGS. In addition, we expect to complete soon the capital improvements to our production facility. As such, we expect ongoing benefits from operational efficiencies that should help mitigate the impact of potential future economic headwinds.”

Anderson concluded, “Based on the strength of our financial performance and balance sheet to date, we remain committed to structurally enhancing our operating model to better position the Company for sustained growth with a focus on new products, new markets and potential acquisitions.”
