The Marygold Companies Reports Financial Results

For Fiscal Year and Fourth Quarter Ended June 30, 2025

 

San Clemente, Calif., September 19, 2025 – The Marygold Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE American: MGLD), a diversified global holding firm, today reported financial results for the fiscal year and fourth quarter ended June 30, 2025.

 

Revenue for the 2025 fiscal year amounted to $30.2 million, compared with $32.8 million, for the 2024 fiscal year. The Company sustained a net loss of $5.8 million, equal to a net loss of $.14 per share, versus a net loss of $4.1 million, or a net loss of $0.10 per share, for the prior fiscal year.

 

For the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2025, revenue was $7.2 million, compared with $8.3 million, last year. The Company sustained a reduced net loss of $1.5 million, equal to a net loss of $0.04 per share, for the most recent fourth quarter, compared with a net loss of $1.9 million, equal to a net loss of $0.05 per share, for the prior year period.

 

At the close of fiscal 2025, stockholders’ equity totaled $23.0 million, compared with $26.6 million at June 30, 2024. Total assets at the 2025 fiscal year-end amounted to $30.4 million, compared with $32.9 million, last year. The Company had cash and cash equivalents at the fiscal 2025 year-end of $5.0 million, compared with $5.5 million at the close of the prior fiscal year.

 

The Company’s consolidated net loss for fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to expenses in connection with the funding of Marygold & Co. (U.S.), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for development and marketing of the Marygold mobile fintech app. The Company halted its funding to this business unit as of March 31, 2025, and thus marketing expenses, salaries, and general administrative expenses on a consolidated basis were curtailed significantly for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2025.

 

Results for the full 2025 fiscal year included $2.5 million in revenue and $250,000 in operating income from Brigadier Security Systems, a Canadian-based formerly wholly owned subsidiary, that was sold for $2.3 million just after the close of the fiscal year. Proceeds from the sale will be applied to retire all of the Company’s remaining debt.

 

“We made the difficult decision to stop funding Marygold & Co.’s fintech app in the U.S., since the effort was costing the Company more than $0.5 million per month and was no longer sustainable, nor providing an equitable return,” said David Neibert, Chief Operations Officer. “Since that time, we have concentrated on reducing expenses and refocusing the Company on our core financial services business. As part of that initiative, we sold our Canadian security systems subsidiary in July, subsequent to our fiscal year end. As a result, we expect to record a significant gain in fiscal 2026 from our initial investment.

 

“As for our other operating units, and on a positive note, we believe that our Original Sprout subsidiary finally has turned the corner on controlling its sales channels and repositioning the brand on e-tail platforms, as well as on retail shelves. Fourth quarter revenues for Original Sprout were up 41% over the preceding third quarter. Our largest subsidiary, USCF Investments, experienced market volatility for understandable reasons, given the uncertainty of tariffs within the energy sector. Nevertheless, USCF continues to operate profitably and report increasing AUM in its broad basket of ETF funds. For the New Zealand businesses, and especially the printing sector, revenues were up 13% in the 4th quarter vs the 3rd quarter of fiscal year 2025, and we expect the trend of increased revenues to continue.

 

 

 

 

“The actions we are taking with respect to cost cutting, elimination of debt and associated interest expense, coupled with a renewed focus on profitability, rather than investment in development stage ventures, is expected to have a beneficial impact on operating results going forward. We already experienced positive momentum as the fourth quarter drew to a close,” Neibert added.

 

Nicholas Gerber, Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our Company’s fiscal 2025 financial performance was not a surprise, although we had hoped for better results from our fintech app marketing efforts in the U.S. We gave it our best effort, raised capital through a public offering, and took on expensive debt. But the effort was underfunded, so we took decisive action to halt it. Importantly, we are pleased that the concept has been proven. The Company has retained the code base, and we hope to monetize our work through other channels in the fintech space. Meanwhile, our wholly owned subsidiary, Marygold & Co. (U.K.), has launched a variation of the app in the U.K., where we are optimistic on its path to profitability.

 

“Despite those challenges, which are now largely behind us, the Company remains in an excellent financial position, and our balance sheet is strong, as we work diligently toward meeting our long-term goal of enhancing shareholder value. I thank our shareholders for their support and patience and extend deep appreciation to our employees worldwide for their hard work, as we strive to achieve our collective objective.” Gerber added.
