Management Commentary
“We made strong operational and financial progress in Q2,” commented Duke Pitts, president of Healthy Extracts. “We grew our topline to a record for a second quarter while expanding our sales channels and portfolio of proprietary, clinically-proven natural formulations for heart and brain health.
“We believe we are well positioned with our existing inventory of product ingredients to support continued growth throughout the rest of the year. We had anticipated potential supply chain issues regarding product price increases and were able to proactively prepare for such challenges. Further, our operational model affords us the flexibility to help offset higher freight cost with price adjustments. Also, now that our launch costs associated with products introduced in the quarter like Brain Activate – Gel, and launching products on Walmart.com and Amazon.com, are now behind us, we can now focus on reducing manufacturing costs. As a result, we expect our gross margins to increase in the second half of the year.
“During the quarter, the official launch of our brand influencer program featuring Whitney Johns opened a new major sales channel for our patented formations. Backed by Whitney’s tremendous personal endorsement and brand marketing strength, we see her new product line greatly elevating our social engagement, strengthening our brand identity, and supporting our ongoing market expansion.
“As the nation’s largest online marketplace, we see our new presence on Amazon.com driving strong sales growth, elevating consumer awareness and creating positive reviews of this new Whitney Johns line as it has with our other products. Amazon.com is a key part of our multi-channel approach that has been showing great results, particularly with Amazon’s convenient ‘Subscribe and Save’ option.
“We see popular brand influencers like Whitney helping us to reach millions of new consumers directly through their online presence as well as through new prime shelf placements at major retailers nationwide.
“In Q2, we announced the entry of Healthy Extracts’ natural formulations for brain health into the retail marketplace through Natural Grocers stores. This relationship broadened our sales channels by adding a major national grocer and opened a key new revenue stream. Natural Grocers’ acclaimed high standards for natural and organic products represent a tremendous validation of our plant-based formulations for brain health and builds additional trust to consumers.
“We are providing educational support to Natural Grocers floor staff members so that they can become knowledgeable about ACTIVATE and RELIEF and their clinically proven benefits. We expect to generate revenue from this new channel in the current quarter with marketing starting in September.
“In July, we launched a new clinical study investigating UBN ACTIVATE’s effect on golfers’ energy, focus and scores. We anticipate positive results from this observational trial of the effect of ACTIVATE on golf performance. We see many B2B opportunities with major golf companies that would be interested in an all-natural supplement that could give golfers an edge in their game. We also anticipate attracting golfers under our brand influencer program and where we can secure key product endorsements.
“We recently launched our premium Citrus Bergamot SuperFruit™ heart health supplement, BergaMet PRO+™, on Fullscript.com, the nation’s leading care delivery platform for integrative medicine. This launch dramatically expands our reach to healthcare practitioners and their millions of patients across the country. It is also strong validation of the clinically proven benefits of BergaMet PRO+ for heart health. We lead the competition with BergaMet PRO+ having 47% BPF Gold potency as compared to the closest competitor at only 38% BPF.
“As a company focused on brain, heart and soon also gut health, we plan to leverage our relationship with Gelteq to launch additional gel products that will be like no other in the world. This will include a Whitney Johns gut health gel pack as well as a new gel pack option for our Ultimate Brain Nutrients RELIEF™. RELIEF is our proprietary, patent-pending natural formulation that provides relief from symptoms often associated with migraine headaches. We also plan to launch a number of proprietary-formulated caffeine-based gel products. We expect to launch these new gel products in the second half of this year. We are also planning to grow our product portfolio through the strategic acquisition of companies that fit our platform and can benefit from our marketing strength.
“Looking at the second half of this year, we expect our expanding distribution channels to further elevate consumer awareness of our brands, with this continuing to drive strong year-over-year sales growth.”
