Full Year 2024 Financial Highlights

Income Statement:

FY 2024 performance was marked by revenue growth, an increase in R&D investments, and a substantial reduction in operating expenses, while bottom-line results were impacted by the absence of non-recurring gains recognized in the prior year.

  • Revenue increased by 2.0% to $54.43 million in FY 2024, from $53.38 million in the prior year, driven primarily by sustained organic growth and continued contributions from prior acquisitions.

  • Gross margin was 7.92%, compared to 8.15% in FY 2023, reflecting a greater mix of revenue from the lower-margin logistics distribution segment.

  • Total operating expenses declined by 24.16% to $19.86 million, compared to $26.18 million in FY 2023. This includes:

    • 40.26% reduction in general and administrative expenses.

    • 71% decrease in sales and marketing expenses, following a strategic reduction in promotional spend.

  • Total other income, net, was a loss of $0.64 million in FY 2024, compared to income of $3.29 million in FY 2023. The year-over-year decline was primarily due to the absence of non-cash gains recognized in the prior year, including:

    • $1.91 million gain on debt extinguishment.

    • $1.44 million bargain purchase gain related to the acquisition of Cana Laboratories.

  • Adjusted EBITDA was negative $3.73 million, compared to positive $0.06 million in FY 2023, while Adjusted net loss widened to $4.74 million from $0.81 million.

Balance Sheet:

The liabilities-to-assets ratio remains a modest 55% as of year-end 2024, reflecting a balanced capital structure and continued financial discipline.

  • Total assets decreased by 17.72% to $54.31 million as of December 31, 2024, from $66.01 million at the end of 2023, while the Company continued to maintain a well-diversified asset base, supported by the following key components:

    • Tangible asset base, with property and equipment, net, totaling $9.69 million, largely reflecting the Company’s wholly owned real estate assets, including CosmoFarm’s logistics center and Cana Laboratories’ manufacturing facilities.

    • Goodwill and intangible assets, net, totaling $7.76 million, representing investments in intellectual property, including acquired licenses for established pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products.
