EX-99.1 2 ea029805101ex99-1.htm PRESS RELEASE OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHOCOLATE FACTORY, INC., DATED JULY 14, 2026 Exhibit 99.1 Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2027 Financial Results DURANGO, Colo., July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rocky Mountain Chocolat
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
The disclosed financials show revenue decline, lower gross profit, and higher costs leading to a larger net loss and negative EBITDA. Management also states priorities including improving production and fulfillment, pursuing higher-margin products, and evaluating ways to address the debt structure and working capital on favorable terms.
Market read
Traders can reassess near-term earnings power and margin trajectory based on the quarter’s revenue, gross profit, and cost changes, plus the stated focus on debt and working capital.
What to watch
The release notes revised franchise agreements reducing royalty and marketing fees, and higher costs tied to website and third-party delivery rollout; investors may need to separate structural fee changes from temporary transition costs.
Background
This is an SEC 8-K (Item 2.02) with Exhibit 99.1 reporting Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory’s fiscal first quarter 2027 results ended May 31, 2026.
Ticker impact
RMCF reported fiscal Q1 2027 results: revenue fell to $6.1M, costs rose to $7.1M, and net loss widened to $1.2M.
Near-term downside bias is likely as investors weigh margin pressure and the lack of a conference call for this release.
The filing provides concrete P&L deltas versus the prior year quarter (revenue down, gross profit down, net loss and EBITDA deterioration). It also signals potential balance-sheet actions, but no specific terms are disclosed here.
Market effects
Limited read-across to the broader franchised retail/confectionery space, but reinforces that franchise economics and delivery/website costs are key margin drivers.
Minimal, as the company is primarily US-franchise oriented with no regional macro catalyst cited.
Low, since the disclosure focuses on domestic store operations and franchise fees rather than international expansion milestones.
Counterpoint
Management frames the quarter as reflecting “near-term challenges” while emphasizing execution progress (pricing, production efficiency, ERP, store systems) that could improve margins in later quarters.
