Mama’s Creations (NASDAQ:MAMA) Issues Quarterly Earnings Results

Mama’s Creations (NASDAQ:MAMA) posted its earnings results on Tuesday. The company reported $0.05 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, meeting analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.05, Zacks reports. The company had revenue of $53.99 million for the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $52.64 million. Mama’s Creations had a return on equity of 17.20% and a net margin of 3.06%.

Here are the key takeaways from Mama’s Creations’ conference call:

• Mama’s reported strong fiscal 2026 results with revenue up 39.2% to $171.7 million, Q4 revenue of $54.0 million, and Adjusted EBITDA up 52.5% to $15.4 million, while cash rose to $20.0 million and total debt was $5.4 million.
• The Crown 1 (Bay Shore) acquisition nearly doubled manufacturing capacity and, after centralizing procurement and logistics and rebalancing production, Bay Shore’s gross margin has meaningfully improved and management expects it to reach the company’s mid‑ to high‑20s target.
• Retail momentum and marketing paid off: Mama’s achieved an everyday item status in Costco Northeast, expanded branded placements at Walmart, Target and Food Lion (targeting thousands of stores), and ran an Instacart/Costco campaign that drove 65% new‑to‑brand trial and made Mama’s the #1 meatball on Instacart in Q4.
• Management warned of ongoing volatility from commodity costs (chicken and beef), higher trade/promotion spend and seasonal lapping effects—trade investment has stepped up materially and quarters could see margin or growth variability even as management targets mid‑to‑high‑20s gross margins over time.
