Did MAMA Beat Earnings? Q4 2026 Results

Mama's Creations posted a strong finish to fiscal 2026, with Q4 revenue climbing 61% year-over-year to $54.00 million and earnings of $0.05 per diluted share, as the deli prepared food specialist continued to convert rapid distribution gains into bottom-line results. The single biggest engine behind the quarter was the integration of Crown 1 Enterprises' Bay Shore facility, which contributed meaningful volume while centralized procurement across all three production sites drove cost synergies and helped lift full-year gross margin to 25.1% from 24.8%. Q4 adjusted EBITDA surged 77% to $5.52 million, and the company ended the year with cash nearly tripling to $19.95 million as operating cash flow reached $11.42 million. Analyst price targets were raised following the results, reflecting confidence in the company's retail momentum, including its expanding Costco and Walmart partnerships. Looking ahead, management reiterated double-digit growth targets for fiscal 2027, citing new SKU additions at top accounts and a long-term ambition to build toward $1 billion in deli prepared food revenue.

Key Takeaways
  • Item expansion at existing customers
  • Successful high-ROI promotional activities accelerating velocities
  • Initial placements at new customers
  • Acquisition of Crown 1 Enterprises' Bay Shore facility
  • Centralized procurement across all three facilities
  • Stabilized commodity costs
  • Procurement optimization and operational efficiencies

“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.”

Mama's Creations CEO, on the earnings call

Forward Guidance & Outlook

Management expressed confidence in sustained, profitable growth driven by strong organic revenue growth, expanding and deepening retail distribution (including accelerating Costco, Walmart, and Target partnerships), Bay Shore facility gross margin trajectory toward mid-to-high-20% corporate target, cross-selling opportunities from the Crown 1 acquisition's premium customer base, product innovation (NAE chicken, artisan cuts, panini line), and a well-defined M&A strategy aimed at becoming a $1 billion one-stop-shop in the deli prepared food category. The company noted it is growing at 5x the category rate.
