Long Island City, NY-based specialty food importer and distributor Urbani Holdings has posted net sales up 5% to US$3.1m for its Q2 ended 30 June, versus US$2.9m last year, despite continued shipping delays from the company’s principle truffle supplier.
Net sales increased 17% over the same period last year, excluding the truffle business. Earnings per share remained the same at US$0.00 per share, which included non-recurring costs associated with an aggressive ramp-up.
President Rosario Safina said: “We are extremely pleased with the growth in our business during the quarter. Specifically, specialty meat sales increased 17%, mushroom sales increased 10% and caviar sales increased 32%.
“Furthermore, we have resolve shipping delays from our principle truffle supplier, which will further accelerate our revenue growth in the H2 and going forward.
“Additionally, we are aggressively expanding our product assortment and increasing our distribution network throughout the US. During the Q2 alone, we added 12 new products to our line. We are also pleased to announce 120 new customers.”
