TOFUTTI ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THIRTEEN AND TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED JULY 2, 2022

Cranford, New Jersey - August 16, 2022 - TOFUTTI BRANDS INC. (OTCQX Symbol: TOFB) issued its results for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2022 today.

Tofutti Brands reported net sales of $2,979,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2022 compared to net sales of $3,027,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021. Sales of our vegan cheese products increased slightly to $2,526,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2022 from $2,497,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021. Sales of our frozen dessert and frozen food products, which consist primarily of frozen dessert products, decreased to $453,000 in the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2022 from $530,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021. We anticipate an increase in sales dollars over the balance of the current fiscal year as the price increases we implemented take effect.

Our gross profit decreased significantly to $525,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2022 from $758,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021. Our gross profit percentage was 18% for the thirteen weeks ending July 2, 2022 compared to 25% for the thirteen weeks ending July 3, 2021. The decrease in both our gross profit and gross profit percentage were caused by the substantial increases in certain ingredients and freight expense. These substantial cost increases were due primarily to the lingering supply chain issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and the record high cost of petroleum. Besides causing substantial increases in our freight expenses, the high cost of petroleum has also directly impacted the costs of certain ingredients and packaging such as the plastic packaging we use for our spreadable cheese products. Our gross profit dollars and gross profit percentage were also negatively impacted by an increase in our sales promotion and allowance expenses to $403,000 in the second quarter of this year as compared to $336,000 in the second quarter of prior fiscal year. We anticipate that our gross profit dollars and gross profit percentage will continue to be negatively affected for the balance of fiscal year 2022.

We had a net loss of $208,000, or a $0.04 loss per share (basic and diluted), for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2022 compared to net income of $28,000, or $0.01 (basic and diluted) per share, for the thirteen weeks ended July 3, 2021.

As of July 2, 2022, we had approximately $1,176,000 in cash and our working capital was approximately $4,259,000, compared with approximately $1,698,000 in cash and working capital of $4,326,000 at January 1, 2022. The decrease in cash during the twenty-six weeks ended July 2, 2022 was primarily due to reduced accounts receivable collections and increased inventory on hand.

Mr. Steven Kass, Chief Executive and Financial Officer of the Company stated, "We look forward to improved results in the second half of 2022 as the price increases we have announced take effect and expect that our cash position will also improve."
