--Positive Performance Reflects Significant Growth in USCF Fund Management Coupled With a Curtailment of Fintech Expenses-- 

SAN CLEMENTE, CA - May 11, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - The Marygold Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE American: MGLD), a diversified global holding firm with a focus on financial services, today reported improved financial results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026.

Revenue for the 2026 third fiscal quarter rose 30.2% to $7.2 million, from $5.5 million last year, which included $0.6 million from the Company’s Canadian subsidiary that was sold in July 2025. Net income increased to $222,000, equal to $0.01 per share, from a loss of $1.0 million, or a loss of $0.2 per share, a year ago.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2026, revenue advanced to $18.4 million from $17.9 million in the comparable prior year period, which included $1.8 million from the Company’s previously owned Canadian subsidiary. The Company’s net loss for the 2026 year-to-date period was reduced to $0.7 million, or a loss of $0.02 per share, from a net loss of $4.3 million, equal to a loss of $0.11 per share, a year ago. The current year to date period includes a $0.5 million gain on the sale of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary.

The Company’s balance sheet remains strong. At March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents amounted to $3.0 million, and investments totaled $7.9 million. Total assets at March 31, 2026, were $28.1 million, and total stockholders’ equity at the quarter’s end was $22.9 million.

“In keeping with our transformation strategy to refocus The Marygold Companies’ resources on ETF fund management and financial services, we have initiated a formal process to sell our New Zealand businesses, comprised of Gourmet Foods and Printstock Products,” said David Neibert, Chief Operations Officer. “These businesses have now been classified as discontinued operations, and it is our goal to effect a sale within the next 12 months. This initiative follows the disposition in July 2025 of our wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Brigadier Security Systems Ltd., for $2.3 million.

“Our largest operating unit, USCF Investments, performed well during the quarter, with revenues increasing 55% to $6.3 million from $4.1 million a year ago. The growth was primarily attributable to an 81% increase in assets under management (AUM), which averaged $4.7 billion for the 2026 third fiscal quarter, compared with $2.6 billion last year. The AUM increase largely reflected the geopolitical situation in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, with oil and other commodity price increases. We also significantly decreased costs in the fintech sector, including reducing labor and other expenses that previously prevented us from achieving profitable operations on a consolidated basis.”

Nicholas Gerber, Chief Executive Officer, added, “We are making deliberate, sometimes difficult, choices to reshape the Company around a clear, focused vision. By divesting businesses that do not align with our core financial services sector, we aim to concentrate our resources to position the Company to deliver strong long-term returns for our shareholders. During this process, we continue to support our non-core subsidiaries, which are expected to continue with normal operations until such time as a transaction is consummated.”
