Mama’s Creations, Inc. reported fourth‑quarter 2026 results that included $54.0 million in revenue, a 61% year‑over‑year increase, $2.2 million in net income, and $5.5 million in adjusted EBITDA. Diluted earnings per share were $0.05, matching consensus estimates of $0.05 from Zacks and TradingView while exceeding other estimates that ranged from $0.03 to $0.04. Gross margin for the quarter fell to 25.9% from 27.0% in the prior year, reflecting the ramp‑up of the newly acquired Crown Bay Shore facility. Full‑year 2026 revenue reached $171.7 million, up 39% from $123.3 million in 2025, and adjusted EBITDA grew more than 50% to $8.3 million.
The quarter’s growth accelerated sharply compared with the prior year. Q4 2025 revenue was $33.6 million, so the 61% jump to $54.0 million represents a 20% increase in the growth rate itself. Net income rose 38% from $1.6 million in Q4 2025, and diluted EPS increased from $0.04 to $0.05, indicating that the company is scaling profitably while maintaining a healthy margin profile.
Key drivers of the results were the integration of Crown’s Bay Shore facility and the expansion of retail partnerships. The Bay Shore ramp‑up contributed to a modest margin compression in the quarter, but the facility’s increased capacity is expected to lift production efficiency and support higher volumes in the coming periods. Retail partnerships expanded across the U.S., adding new product lines and distribution channels that helped offset the temporary margin pressure. The company’s focus on operational efficiency and cost control has kept the gross margin close to the 25% target set for the year.
Cash on hand as of January 31, 2026 was $20.0 million, nearly tripling the prior‑year balance, while total debt remained low at $5.4 million. The improved liquidity positions the company to pursue additional acquisitions and invest in product development as it works toward its $1 billion revenue goal by 2030. The earnings release also confirmed that the company’s strategic focus on becoming a national “one‑stop‑shop” for deli solutions is gaining traction in the fresh prepared‑foods market, which is shifting toward convenience and value‑oriented offerings.
Adam L. Michaels, Chairman and CEO, said, “Fiscal 2026 was a landmark year for Mama’s Creations. We delivered 39% revenue growth to $171.7 million, expanded adjusted EBITDA by over 50%, and fundamentally transformed our operating platform with the acquisition and successful integration of Crown 1’s Bay Shore facility. This reflects the continued strength of our organic growth engine combined with the accretive contribution of our M&A activities.” He added, “On the operations front, the Bay Shore integration continues to be a resounding success.”
