Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Reports Improved Losses Amid Revenue Decline

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory reported mixed financial results for Q1 2025, with a slight revenue decline to $6.37 million but improved profitability metrics. The company achieved positive EBITDA for the first time in several years, reaching around $0.2 to $2 million, driven by effective cost management, operational efficiencies, and strategic pricing adjustments. Despite a net loss of $324,000, this marked a significant improvement from the previous year's larger losses. Challenges remain, including flat product sales partly due to the loss of a major customer and the non-renewal of unprofitable contracts, as well as uncertainty regarding permanent leadership. The company is pursuing growth initiatives such as opening new stores in Charleston and Chicago, refreshing its brand, and expanding e-commerce and holiday product sales. Overall, the results reflect improved operational management amid ongoing market pressures and a focus on enhancing profitability through cost reductions and efficiency gains.
