Carl Wolf, Chief Executive Officer of MamaMancini's, commented, "The second quarter was outstanding from a revenue perspective; continuing the growth trajectory of recent quarters. This growth stems directly from our strategy of focusing on selling our products into the prepared foods, ready to eat meals and sandwich shop area located on fresh foods perimeter of the retail grocery store. Progressive retail stores are looking to take advantage of the growing consumer trend toward a broad array of delicious, nutritious, all-natural and easy to prepare products. As a result, we have been able to sell into higher volume per location accounts over the traditional pre-packaged retailer merchandising. We believe this trend is accelerating as evidenced by the recent acquisition of Whole Foods by Amazon."

Mr. Wolf continued, "The rapid growth we are currently experiencing has required the acquisition of new equipment and additional processes to meet current demand; which is having a moderate impact on our gross profit and operating margins year-to-date. We expect margins to move back up to more traditional levels as we move through the second half of the year. Also during the quarter, we signed a letter of intent to acquire the primary manufacturer, of our products, Joseph Epstein Foods Enterprise ("JEFE"), on a non-cash basis. Based upon preliminary information received from JEFE (subject to completion of due diligence and audit), we estimate that the integration of our sole supplier will increase our gross profit margin and profits by $1.5 million or more in the next 12 months and believe that the acquisition will assure a reliable source of supply for the Company for years to come.

"As MamaMancini's continues on this growth trajectory, it became clear to us that the combination of the two entities would secure manufacturing capacity for the company's products and, as a result of operating efficiencies, be immediately accretive to our earnings and thereby reward our shareholders. We anticipate closing this transaction in early November 2017. This acquisition involves no cash or stock outlay." Please see the Company's SEC filing on Form 8-K on September 11, 2017 for further details.

Mr. Wolf concluded, "It is an exciting time at MamaMancini's as the strategic direction we put in place is coming to fruition. We have now reported profitability in each of the last four consecutive quarters and our revenue growth is accelerating. Looking ahead, our goal is to get to a $40 million annualized sales run rate, which is anticipated before the end of the current fiscal year. Our focus right now is execution, making sure we can deliver our products on a consistent basis and meet current customer demand. We are excited with the opportunities ahead."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company uses Cash EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Cash EBITDA as earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization plus any non-cash stock payments for expenses. The Company believes that the use of Cash EBITDA is useful to investors and other users of its financial statements in evaluating the Company's operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. The Company uses Cash EBITDA in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance measures as part of its overall assessment of its performance, for planning purposes, including the preparation of its annual operating budget, and to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies. Management does not place undue reliance on Cash EBITDA as its only measure of operating performance. Cash EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.
