5Y Trend (Revenue, Earnings, FCF)

Metric	Latest	YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength.	QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes.
RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three).	$27.5M	-7.0%	-9.5%
Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day.	$-4.6M	+25.5%	+65.8%
Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials.	+10.2%	-7.4%	+434.7%
Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on).	-13.0%	+35.1%	+68.5%
Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales.	-16.6%	+19.9%	+62.2%
Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock.	$-2.4M	+77.0%	+18.3%
FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine.	-8.7%	+75.3%	+9.6%
Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe.	151.2%	+46.1%	+32.0%
Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking.	1.29x	-3.8%	-12.6%
Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground.	$20.2M	-4.5%	-4.7%

Unknown Speaker

Operator: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for standing by. Welcome to today's conference call to discuss Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory's financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year 2026. At this time, all participants are in a listen only mode. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. Joining us on the call today are the company's Interim CEO, Jeffrey Geygan and CFO, Carrie E. Cass. Please be advised this conference call will contain statements that are considered forward looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 2 thousand. These forward looking statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties as well as assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in these forward looking statements. These forward looking statements are also subject to other risks and uncertainties that are described from time to time in the company's filings with the SEC. Do not place undue reliance on any forward looking statements, which are being made only as of the date of this call. Except as required by law, the company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward looking statements. And now I will turn the call over to the company's Interim CEO, Jeffrey Geygan. Jeffrey, please go ahead. Jeffrey Richart Geygan: Thank you, and good morning, everyone. Before I get into our broader business discussion, I want to address our fiscal fourth quarter. The results fell short of what we set out to achieve and accountability for that rests with me. The primary issue driving this shortfall was our packaged product assortment decision that did not align with our guest expectation. Particularly with our boxed offerings. We leaned too heavily into larger format boxes and a mix of large and mountain sized pieces of candy that retrospectively did not align with guest preferences. That impacted revenue having an outsized effect on profitability. For reference, our lowest margin sales are ingredients, followed by supplies, then bulk candy, and finally, our best margin item is a packaged product. Package sales for the quarter were roughly $1.5 million below expectations affecting store sales, and disproportionately impacting our ecommerce business which is largely made up of packaged product. Since year end, we have conducted extensive consumer research involving more than 1 thousand participants which has provided us with a clearer understanding of where our packaged assortment strategy missed the mark. Current feedback points to demand for greater assortment variety, more small piece format offerings, and a mix of items including caramels, nuts, creams, toffee, solid molded chocolates, and meltaways. We are addressing this situation now and expect to have a full lineup of reconfigured packaged items on store shelves by Labor Day. Our offerings will include 34, 6, and 4 piece sized assortments. Boxes will be slimmed down, and …
