Sales for the quarter were $48,015,732, up 10% from $43,609,336 during the same period of the previous year.
“Our healthy/natural portfolio increased 17.7% from the second quarter of 2011 and now represents 61% of total revenue, reiterating a continued consumer interest in better-for-you offerings,” said Terry McDaniel, chief executive officer. “Our revenue growth was led by continued strong sales in our frozen segment with a 58.8% increase in frozen fruit sales from the prior-year quarter.
“The diversity of our products and distribution channels provides us with a solid platform to benefit from the strong performance of certain products while continuing to enhance and grow other products. Boulder Canyon sales were down in the quarter due to packaging transitions and increased price competition. We continue to focus on expanding this brand.
“We continue to offer innovative new products expanding the Jamba `at home’ Smoothies line with a new pair of superfruit smoothies featuring non-fat Greek yogurt. Pomegranate Pick-Me-Up and Acai SuperAntioxidant are the first smoothies in the Jamba `at home’ line to feature Greek yogurt in the formulation. In addition, we recently launched our Jamba Multigrain Fruit Crisps, Cranberry Crave and Blueberry Blast.”
