Noble Roman’s Issues Additional 2nd Quarter Interim Update

INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESSWIRE / July 10, 2023 / Noble Roman's, Inc. (OTCQB:NROM), the Indianapolis based franchisor and licensor of Noble Roman's Pizza and Noble Roman's Craft Pizza & Pub, today issued an additional follow-up report on the 2nd quarter and made public an updated 2023 shareholder presentation.

Scott Mobley, Noble Roman's President and CEO, stated, "In our last interim update on June 20th, we announced that we had so far signed 28 new franchise agreements for our non-traditional segment this year. I am pleased to report that we actually concluded the 2nd quarter with a total of 41 new franchise agreements so far in 2023. This is an exciting achievement and exceeds the number signed for the entirety of 2022. We are now heavily focused on moving these from signed agreements to open units generating ongoing revenue streams.

"We also continued the efficiencies in operating costs in June that we achieved in the Craft Pizza & Pub segment during April and May. We pivoted to increased value promotion during July, having seen signs of consumer spending weakness, but the cost of that promotion should prove to be more than overcome by the robust increase in sales it generated.

"Finally, we would like to announce the availability of the 2023 Shareholder Presentation which may be obtained at www.nrom.info/presentation (or as Exhibit 99.2 to the company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed today, July 10, 2023). Although we will provide a few updates to the information in this report on August 10th at our annual meeting of shareholders, the material contains timely information for both new and existing shareholders; we thought many might appreciate access to it now."

Mobley concluded by saying, "As I stated in our last update, we will remain focused on and pursue our strategies to: continue the accelerated growth of our non-traditional franchise locations; maintain improved margins and staffing stability at our company-owned Craft Pizza & Pub restaurants; and address the company's capital resources to enable faster growth of company-owned and franchised Craft Pizza & Pub locations."
