Tim Anderson, President and CEO of Armanino Foods stated, “These results represent three consecutive quarters of record net sales and the highest income for the first quarter in our Company’s history. We continue to make significant progress implementing our strategies to expand into diversified channels, and despite broader economic challenges, controlling our overall costs and expenses as well. Our strategies have allowed us to successfully navigate through a myriad of challenges, including labor shortages, inflation, and logistical and supply chain challenges which may have otherwise had a significant impact on our business. As a result, we continue to outperform many industry benchmarks.”

Anderson concluded, “While we are pleased with the continued upward trend of the Company’s financial performance, we also remain guarded in the near term given the political instability in Eastern Europe which could negatively impact broad economic sentiment, as well as concerns about a newly discovered strain of the Coronavirus. Nonetheless, we remain committed to making strategic and operational investments to drive sustained growth with an eye towards new products, new markets, and potential acquisitions. Given our financial resources, the strength of our brand, and proven track record of management excellence, we remain confident in our ability to achieve our long-term vision for the Company.”
