The Marygold Companies, Inc. (“TMC,” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: MGLD), a diversified global holding firm with a focus on financial services, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $7.9 million, compared with $8.3 million, last year. The Company recorded a net loss of $0.5 million, equal to a loss of $0.01 per share, for the fiscal 2024 third quarter, reflecting continued investment in the Marygold & Co. fintech app. The total amount expensed in the three months ended March 31, 2024 for Marygold & Co. was $1.3 million, bringing the total amount invested in the fintech app by TMC to $13.5 million since Marygold & Co.’s inception. TMC reported net income of $0.2 million, or approximately breakeven per share, for the same quarter a year ago.

For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2024, revenue was $24.6 million, versus $26 million for the comparable period last year. A net loss of $2.2 million, or $0.05 per share, was recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2024, versus net income of $0.8 million, equal to $0.02 per fully diluted share, for the same period a year ago.

TMC’s balance sheet remained strong at March 31, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $4.5 million, and investments totaled $11.6 million at the end of the quarter, and the Company has essentially no debt. Total assets at March 31, 2024, were $33.7 million, and total stockholders’ equity at quarter’s end was $28.4 million.

“Operations overall remained on budget, with increased revenues this quarter over the prior year for our non-financial services subsidiaries,” said David Neibert, TMC’s Chief Operations Officer. “Revenues were up slightly for our foreign subsidiaries as well, despite an unfavorable trend in currency translation rates this quarter as compared with the same period last year. However, our largest subsidiary, USCF Investments, closed out the quarter with an average of $3.0 billion in assets under management, and thus lower revenues, as compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2023, when assets under management averaged $3.7 billion.

“We anticipate a continued steady flow of revenues from our core business units in the coming quarter and using those cash flows to continue the development and marketing of our newest offering, Marygold & Co.’s mobile fintech banking app. Use of capital from segment operations toward the furtherance of Marygold & Co.’s business plan is expected to produce modest consolidated net losses for the balance of this fiscal year,” Neibert added.

Nicholas Gerber, TMC’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “Even though TMC has recorded losses on a consolidated basis due to our continued investment in the fintech space, we are still basically debt-free and building long-term value in our Company. I am also pleased to report we are making good progress toward launching our proprietary mobile banking app in the U.K.

“Subsequent to the close of the quarter, we finalized the acquisition of yet another investment advisory firm in the U.K., Step-by-Step Financial Planners Limited (“SBS”). This new addition joins Tiger Financial and Asset Management as a business unit of our wholly owned subsidiary, Marygold & Co. (UK) Limited, and brings our total assets under management in the U.K. to approximately $75 million. With the client base of these two advisory firms as a starting point, we hope to launch our Marygold mobile banking app with an in-place potential user base in the UK within the coming months,” Gerber said.
