SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Marygold Companies, Inc. (“TMC,” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: MGLD), a diversified global holding firm, today reported financial results for its 2025 second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024. Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024 amounted to $8.0 million, compared with $8.5 million last year. The Company recorded a net loss of $1.7 million, equal to a loss of $0.04 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, compared with a net loss of $1.2 million, equal to a loss of $0.03 per share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2024 totaled $15.9 million, with a net loss of $3.3 million, equal to a net loss of $0.08 per share, versus revenue of $16.7 million and a net loss of $1.7 million, or a net loss of $0.04 per share, for the comparable prior year period. The revenue decline over both comparable prior year periods was primarily due to a reduction in average assets under management (“AUM”) at TMC’s largest subsidiary, USCF Investments, to $3.1 billion from $3.5 billion a year ago. AUM level directly impacts the management fees earned and typically fluctuates with global commodity pricing trends. Revenue also was impacted by a slight increase in the strength of the U.S. dollar, which negatively impacted currency translation values in the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The performance of TMC’s core operating subsidiaries was within expectations, and the net loss principally reflected the Company’s continued expenses in the development and roll-out of its mobile banking fintech app through its Marygold & Co. subsidiaries in the U.S. and the U.K. Cash and cash equivalents of $5.7 million at December 31, 2024 increased slightly from $5.5 million at June 30, 2024, the close of TMC’s prior fiscal year. Total stockholders’ equity decreased to $23.4 million at December 31, 2024 from $26.6 million at fiscal year-end, primarily reflecting the net loss incurred during the six months ended December 31, 2024. “For the quarter just ended, we had budgeted for continued losses, based in large part on cash expenditures incurred by our Marygold fintech subsidiary,” said David Neibert, TMC’s Chief Operations Officer. “To help with cash needs for future development and rollout of our fintech app, we entered into a $4 million note during the first quarter, and in anticipation of an equity raise of $2.3 million in gross proceeds that was completed subsequent to the close of the second quarter, we finalized a prospectus supplement for our Form S-3 shelf registration. These actions produced expenses for the second quarter and contributed to the net loss. “We are pleased that our operating subsidiaries in New Zealand, Canada and in the U.S. continue to do well overall. Moving into the second half of our fiscal year, we expect to significantly reduce expenses in our Marygold & Co. subsidiary, having successfully completed the proof-of-concept phase,” Neibert added. Nicholas Gerber, TMC’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “We have spent nearly $20 million into what we refer to as the ‘Marygold Project,’ which includes Marygold & Co. and its counterpart, Marygold & Co. (UK) Limited. We view these costs as investments in TMC’s long-term future, and believe the Company is poised to move forward with the initial roll-out of the mobile app in the U.K. shortly, while we strategize on marketing direction for the app in the U.S. “As shareholders, we all have gone through a painful period of enduring losses, while we refocused our corporate resources in the fintech sector. I believe we will turn the corner soon and begin to see some tangible results for those efforts,” Gerber said.
