Revenue Growth: Mama's Creations reported Q3 revenue of $47.3 million, up 50% year-over-year, driven by the Crown One acquisition and strong double-digit organic growth.
Margin Expansion: Gross profit rose 56.6% to $11.1 million, with gross margin improving to 23.6% from 22.6%, thanks to operational efficiency and lower chicken costs despite beef price headwinds.
Bayshore Acquisition: The integration of the newly acquired Bayshore (Crown One) facility is progressing ahead of expectations, unlocking procurement synergies, capacity, and improved team culture.
Retail Wins: Secured new national retail partners including Target (with rollout to 1,995 stores) and Food Lion (1,100 stores), plus expansion in club channels like Costco.
Operational Improvements: Transitioned from make-to-order to make-to-stock, enhancing service levels and reducing overtime, with further efficiency and SKU rationalization plans underway.
Chicken Commodity Strategy: Leveraged increased scale to negotiate better chicken pricing and are near finalizing 2026 supplier agreements, which should stabilize costs going forward.
Strong Balance Sheet: Cash increased to $18.1 million and debt stands at $6.4 million post-acquisition, leaving Mama's well-positioned for further organic and M&A growth.
Positive Outlook: Management is confident in continued profitable growth, with strong consumer demand for deli prepared foods and more capacity to support additional volume.
