DEERFIELD, Ill., Oct. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BAB, Inc. (OTCQB: BABB), announced its financial results for the third quarter ended August 31, 2020.

For the quarter ended August 31, 2020, BAB had revenues of $624,000 and net income of $104,000, or $0.01 per share, versus revenues of $793,000 and net income of $149,000, or earnings of $0.02 per share, for the same quarter last year. Royalty revenue, license fees and other income and marketing fund revenue all decreased for the third quarter 2020 because of the effect of the Coronavirus pandemic on franchisee sales. Franchise fees increased $2,000 for the third quarter 2020 versus the same period 2019.

The Coronavirus pandemic which occurred in the second quarter 2020 has affected the revenues and net income, creating lower revenues and reduced net income in 2020 compared to 2019.

While the Coronavirus pandemic has created challenges for restaurants around the country, we are proud of our franchisees as they continue to adapt to changing regulations and government mandates. As states begin to open up and ease restrictions we have seen franchise locations total system-wide sales rebound from down approximately 66.8% in week 20 of our fiscal year to down approximately 9.5% in week 44. We are continuing to evaluate the effects of the Coronavirus Pandemic on our operations.
