"The results also reflect how we achieved record-breaking Amazon sales in July and August, with this resulting from effectively targeted sales and marketing efforts for Prime Day, as well as record demand for our Amazon ‘Subscribe & Save' offerings.

"We also maintained a top three position among more than 100 competitors in Amazon's popular Citrus Bergamot category. We're looking forward to strong Black Friday and Cyber Monday events coming up later this month that we expect will take our Amazon sales to the next level.

"Given the tremendous success of our Amazon ‘Subscribe & Save' program, in July we introduced a 20% discount on monthly subscriptions on our direct-to-consumer eCommerce website, replacing our traditional Buy-2-Get-1 offers. This new offering has been well received, resulting in notable growth in subscription sign-ups.

"We see this new program helping to boost our sales and margins, as well as enable greater customer long-term retention rates. We estimate our subscription-based revenue is quickly approaching nearly a third of our overall revenue run-rate, with this supporting a significant increase in overall customer lifetime value or CLV.

"Now with our strongest fundamentals to date, including a streamlined capitalization structure, manageable debt levels, and four consecutive quarters of positive cash flow, our company is positioned exceptionally well.

"Despite navigating limited working capital due to challenging financial markets, we have maintained a consistent growth trajectory with a compound annual growth rate of approximately 25% over the last three years. Based on typical industry valuation multiples applied just to our Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), we believe our current market valuation is highly undervalued.

"For the rest of the year and into the next, we expect to continue to strengthen our top-line growth, profitability, and market share, especially as our addressable markets continue to expand. Our consistent growth momentum with our retail customers positions us well for the successful launch of new products that we're planning to roll out in the current fourth quarter. We are also in the best-ever position for making strategic, accretive acquisitions that would further accelerate our growth.

"The launch of these new products will benefit from the broad market channels we have strategically built and invested in over recent years. We believe these investments have proven to be the most effective way to create significant shareholder value. The continued pursuit of this strategy remains our top priority. Given our momentum coming into the fourth quarter, we expect to report record revenue and positive cash flow for the year, with this setting the stage for accelerated growth in 2025."

Financial Outlook

For the remainder of 2024, the company expects to remain on track for another year of record revenue at more than $3.0 million, representing a 20%+ year-over-year gain, and generate positive cash-flow for the year. New product introductions are expected to continue laying the way for stronger growth and greater profitability excluding non-cash expenses.

Product Outlook

Healthy Extracts' top brand ambassador and renowned fitness expert, Whitney Johns, is preparing to launch WHITNEY JOHNS™ NUTRITION on-the-go gel packs for COLLAGEN (anti-aging) in the first quarter of 2025. These products will be based on Healthy Extracts' exclusive oral delivery system and proprietary formulations.

The company is also planning to launch in the first quarter of 2025 its new BergaMet MYNUS sugar blocker, which is specially formulated to reduce up to 42% of the sugar impact from meals. The MYNUS on-the-go gel-packs will be made available under the company's exclusive U.S. and Canadian licensing and manufacturing agreement with Gelteq.

Q3 2024 Financial Summary

Net revenue in the third quarter of 2024 increased 21% to $745,000 from $614,000 in the same year-ago quarter, primarily due to consumer sales growth and increased subscription-based revenue.

Gross profit totaled $602,000 or 80.9% of net revenue as compared to $493,000 or 80.4% of net revenue in the same year-ago quarter. The 50 basis points increase in gross margin was the result of manufacturing efficiency and more favorable product mix.

Operating expenses decreased 31% to $517,000 as compared to $754,000 in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to one-time expenses in the year-ago quarter related to the company's planned uplist to Nasdaq and issuance of options and warrants that did not reoccur in the third quarter of 2024, and to a lesser extent the reduction in general operating expense in the third quarter of 2024.

Net income totaled $354,000 or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $248,000 or $(0.09) per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago period.

Excluding expenses related to planned acquisitions and public offerings, regulatory compliance, stock-based compensation, the change in fair value of derivative expense and interest expense, net income in the third quarter of 2024 totaled $117,000 or $0.04 per basic and diluted share versus net income of $33,000 or $0.01 per basic and diluted share.

First Nine Months of 2024 Financial Summary

Net revenue in the first nine months of 2024 increased 29% to a record $2.3 million compared to $1.8 million in the same year-ago period, primarily due to product line and distribution channel expansion.

Gross profit totaled $1.5 million or 63.9% of net revenue as compared to $1.1 million or 58.1% of net revenue in the same year-ago period. The increase in gross margin was a result of product mix sold as well as decreases in manufacturing and freight costs.

Operating expenses decreased 50% to $1.5 million compared to $3.0 million in the same year-ago period. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to one-time expenses in the same year-ago period related to the company's planned uplist to a Nasdaq and the issuance of options and warrants that did not reoccur in the 2024, and to a lesser extent the reduction in general operating expense in 2024.

Net loss totaled $394,000 or $(0.13) per basic and diluted share, compared to a loss of $2.1 million or $(0.72) per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago period. The improvement in net loss was primarily due to the same factors that drove improvement in the third quarter of 2024.

Excluding expenses related to the potential acquisitions and a public offering, regulatory compliance, stock compensation, change in fair value on derivative and interest expense, net income totaled $139,000 or $0.05 per basic and diluted share versus a net loss of $480,000 or $(0.16) per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago period.
