- Revenues Continue to Rise Over Prior Year with Strong Performance by Subsidiaries -

SAN CLEMENTE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 17, 2021 / Concierge Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:CNCG), a diversified global holding firm, today announced financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021, with strong performances in revenues, net income and stockholders' equity.

The Company reported that for the three months ended March 31, 2021, revenues continued their rise to $9.5 million from $5.9 million for the comparable prior year period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, revenues advanced to $30.3 million from $17.7 million for the same period last year. Income before income tax for the most recent three-month period rose to $2.1 million, equal to $0.04 per share, from a net loss of $208,000, equal to breakeven per share, for the comparable prior year period. Year-to-date pre-tax income increased to $6.8 million, equal to $.13 per share on a fully diluted basis, from a net loss of $240,000, or breakeven per share, a year ago.

Concierge said the primary driver for the fiscal 2021 improvement was an increase in assets under management (AUM) at the Company's Wainwright Holdings funds management subsidiary to approximately $5.1 billion for the nine-month period ending March 31, 2021, compared with $2.2 billion at the same time a year ago. Wainwright, which operates under the name USCF Investments, manages commodity-oriented exchange-traded products (ETPs) that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Company's "Other" business segment, which comprised approximately 37% of total revenues in the most recent quarter, versus 49% of revenues in last year's third quarter, were up approximately $0.6 million year-over-year. The increase was due, in part, to the acquisition of Printstock Products Limited by the Company's New Zealand-based wholly owned subsidiary, Gourmet Foods. The Other segment is comprised of Gourmet Foods, Brigadier Security Systems and Original Sprout.

Concierge's balance sheet further strengthened at the end of the third fiscal quarter. Cash and cash equivalents grew to $14.3 million from $9.8 million at June 30, 2020. Total stockholders' equity increased to $24.7 million at March 31, 2021 from $19.1 million at June 30, 2020. The company has essentially no debt.

"During this third quarter we made significant progress in positioning our subsidiaries for continued growth. Original Sprout moved to a larger facility and continued its efforts to ease consumer access to its products through online platforms such as Costco.com and other large retailers. Brigadier Security Systems garnered an even larger share of the commercial and public building security monitoring business in Saskatchewan, while Gourmet Foods refocused on the lucrative convenience store business in New Zealand while profitably operating its recently acquired Printstock subsidiary which supplies food wrappers in New Zealand and Australia. Couple these initiatives with the continued robust AUM within USCF and we have strong confidence in future growth for the remainder of this fiscal year and beyond," said David Neibert, Chief Operations Officer. "The financial sector has a history of fluctuations, however we are successfully combating those effects through diversification in other profitable industries as well as expanding on our financial service offerings."

"This quarter we once again relied on our subsidiary management teams to endure virtual meetings and operate their businesses in adherence with COVID-19 restrictions worldwide. While we hoped to be back to normal operations by now, we planned for the long haul. Excellence at each subsidiary proved us correct in our thinking as both revenues and income were on the rise once again. While we are looking forward to the end of the pandemic, we are certain that our plans and processes to deal with it are more than sufficient. As such, we are moving forward with our strategy to introduce new product offerings, including Fintech applications through our Marygold and Co. subsidiary, and continue to seek out acquisition candidates." added Nicholas Gerber, Chief Executive Officer. "I'd like to thank our shareholders for their continued support and reiterate our goal to maximize shareholder value as we continue to grow."
