REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2014 RESULTS

Hilo, Hawaii — Royal Hawaiian Orchards, L.P. (OTCQX: NNUTU) reported today a net loss of $253,000, or ($0.03) per weighted average Class A Unit for the first quarter of 2014 on revenues of $3.6 million compared to a net loss of $628,000 or ($0.08) per Class A Unit on revenues of $2.0 million for the same period in 2013.   The increase in revenues was attributable to $1.5 million and $300,000 in branded product and wet-in-shell (“WIS”) nut sales, respectively, over 2013, which was offset by a $200,000 decrease in contract farming revenue.

WIS sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 amounted to $1.7 million compared to $1.4 for the same period in 2013, which is attributable to increased WIS production sold of 218,000 pounds or 11% as compared to 2013.  For the remainder of the year, management anticipates that WIS revenue will be lower than comparable prior year periods as the Partnership will retain 13 million WIS pounds for its Royal Hawaiian Orchards® macadamia snack products in 2014 as compared to it retaining 6.5 million WIS pounds in 2013.  The production the Partnership keeps to build inventory levels will not generate revenues until the product is sold, which could be three to nine months after it typically would have generated revenues selling WIS nuts.  Branded products net revenue amounted to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $200,000 for the same period in 2013.  Revenue growth resulted from bulk kernel sales of $1.4 million, representing 76% of branded product gross sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2014.  Topline growth will be driven by increased penetration into mainstream grocery and mass merchandiser channels, improved product placement in stores and eventually the introduction of new products in the Partnership’s key category.  The Partnership intends to aggressively increase the amount it spends on slotting fees in 2014 and anticipates those and other promotional activities will continue to impact its net sales and that changes in such activities will continue to impact period-over period results.  The decrease in contract farming revenue resulted from no harvest activity performed at its Keaau and Mauna Kea orchards during the first quarter of 2014.   In contrast, a longer than normal harvest season for the 2012 — 2013  crop year at its Keaau and Mauna Kea orchards, extended the harvest into the first quarter of 2013, generating contract farming revenue for those services.

The Partnership’s gross profit margin amounted to 24% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to 13% in the same period last year.  The increase was the result of the Partnership harvesting 904,000 pounds more from its IASCO orchards, which is subject to a 27% higher selling price than the nuts sold under its non-IASCO nut purchase contract with Mauna Loa.  In addition, the gross profit margin on farming contracts increased five percentage points.   For the three month period ended March 31, 2014, branded products segment gross profit increased $452,000 over the same period in 2013.  The increase was attributable to increased sales and lower product costs.  Utilizing its own kernel resulted in cost reductions of approximately 23% as compared to kernel purchased from third parties.  In addition, slotting fees and promotional discounts as a percentage of net revenue was substantially lower for the three month period ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013.

On February 6, 2014, the Partnership completed its subscription rights offering and raised $8.9 million after deducting expenses.  This will allow the Partnership to: fully implement its branded product strategy of building raw materials and finished goods inventory; extend the revenue cycle of harvested macadamias; extend credit to its customers; repay indebtedness incurred to fund working capital needs; fund promotional allowances, including slotting fees charged by food retailers in order to have its product placed on their shelves; and fund general partnership purposes.  The Partnership expects to be in 10,000 stores by end of 2014.
