November 11, 2014
Inventure Foods, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNAK), a leading specialty food marketer and manufacturer, has been named to Forbes magazine's "America's Best Small Companies" list for 2014. Inventure ranks number 33 out of 100 possible companies on this year's list, representing a substantial jump up from the 41st position it held in 2013.

Forbes includes an in-depth profile on Inventure as part of this year's "America's Best Small Companies" coverage, due in part to the growth and consistency in which the company has appeared on the prominent annual list. The list and accompanying feature appear in the Nov. 3 print edition of the magazine.

Forbes' annual list of "America's Best Small Companies" highlights the top 100 publicly traded companies with sales under $1 billion, ranked by the publication based on return on equity, sales growth and earnings growth over the past year and the past five years. Forbes' methodology also factors in each company's stock performance versus their peer group during the past 12 months.

"To be identified by Forbes as one of the best small companies in America is a great honor at any point in time," said Terry McDaniel, Chief Executive Officer of Inventure Foods, Inc. "This year's recognition is particularly special, however, as it marks our third straight appearance on the list. This consistency speaks directly to the quality of talented individuals who make up our Inventure Foods team, and together we've demonstrated a unique ability to develop innovative products that resonate with consumers across multiple channels time and time again. That success has translated into strong financial performance, which has been recognized by Wall Street."
