Good morning & Good Day FRYS Membership,
 
Spring is in the air today and the schedule is busy, so no time to bloviate about this or that, let’s go!
 
E-tab revenues reached a new high for the 2024/2025 campaign, posting $131K in receipts and topping the prior high of $126M set in December. However, the gross profit margin was significantly better than in December at 16.6% vs. 12.3%, respectively, which means that gross profits to FRYS were substantially larger at $22K compared to December’s $16K. The $22K was not a new record for the year as the gross profit margin in October reached 20% that delivered gross profits of $23K.
 
The fun does not stop there as paper tabs also posted a 24/25 campaign record at $93K, topping October’s $93K by $260 total; however, the margin of March was significantly better at 21% compared to October’s 18%, resulting in slush of gross profits of $20K.
 
And to make it three for three, Bingo set the highest total of the current campaign as well at $22K, exceeding none other than October’s $22K by a mere $23. The only difference is that the Bingo margin in October was a robust 32% whereas March saw a 22% margin for $5K in gross profits.
 
Putting it all together, FRYS posted a firm net income of $13K for March even after accounting for $13K in taxes paid to St. Paul.  Year-to-date, FRYS earnings are an incredible $72K. Negative earnings in a month are certainly possible but with five months left in the fiscal year, FRYS appears poised to set a new earnings record - how about $100K for 2025?!?
