VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - ELSE NUTRITION HOLDINGS INC. (TSX: BABY) (OTCQX: BABYF) (FSE: 0YL.F) ("Else" or the "Company"), today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. The financial statements and MD&A are available on SEDAR under the Company's profile.
Hamutal Yitzhak, CEO of Else Nutrition, commented, "We are making steady progress executing our growth strategy, while carefully managing expenses. We achieved a 5% year-over-year revenue increase in Q3 2024, despite a very modest marketing budget. Our ability to achieve these results demonstrates the growing consumer appetite for our products and our expanding retail presence."
"We are continuing to gain traction with retailers across North America, including our recent pilot program with Costco -- one of the largest North American wholesale retailers. We believe this could lead to distribution across more than 100 of their locations in Canada as a first step with the potential to expand throughout the US. This expansion represents a substantial opportunity to reach new consumers and build our brand. We are also in the process of finalizing the expanded availability of our kids RTD products with an additional major US retailer. Once finalized, our products would be available in over 900 new US large grocery stores, further enhancing our market reach. Additionally, we are proud of our ongoing product innovations, including the upcoming launch of our Adult RTD product, with the first commercial production scheduled for later this year. This is a key milestone as we broaden our offerings to meet the demand for convenient, healthy whole food, minimally processed and easy to digest, plant-based nutrition."
"To support our growth, we are in active discussions regarding non-dilutive bridge funding, and a long-term credit line that will enable us to ramp up our marketing efforts, optimize our capital structure, and drive our long-term growth strategy. Concurrently, we've implemented strategic cost-saving measures aimed at improving our margins in future quarters. We believe these operational improvements, combined with innovative product launches and an expanding retail presence, are positioning us for long-term financial success."
"Looking forward, we believe as we continue to execute on our financial strategy, it will enable us o expand our retail footprint, increase brand visibility, and continue to develop high-demand plant-based products. Our commitment to providing healthy, sustainable nutrition options places us at the forefront of the plant-based nutrition market, and we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead."
