VANCOUVER, BC, June 2, 2025 /CNW/ - ELSE NUTRITION HOLDINGS INC. (TSX: BABY) (OTCQX: BABYF) (FSE: 0YL.F) ("Else" or the"Company"), reported financial results for the 2024 fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The financial statements and MD&A are available on SEDAR under the Company's profile.
"2024 was a defining year for Else Nutrition, marked by significant challenges that ultimately led to pivotal decisions shaping our future," commented Hamutal Yitzhak, CEO & Co-Founder of Else Nutrition. "While we encountered major headwinds, including funding constraints, inventory shortages, and a limited marketing budget, we took decisive actions to secure our future. Specifically, we optimized operations, significantly reduced overhead costs, and secured essential funding. We also streamlined our cost structure by cutting underperforming roles, reducing low-ROI marketing spend, and exiting unprofitable retail partnerships. In addition, we restructured R&D operations, including the closure of our Israel lab, to preserve innovation capacity while improving financial performance. Furthermore, we plan to expand our manufacturing and prepare our powder formula in Europe, which will lower production costs, improve margins, and enhance product quality."
"Despite our challenges, we made important progress including successfully launching our first Adult Ready-to-Drink (RTD) product, expanding retail placement for our Kids RTD product, and increasing our presence in the U.S. through e-commerce platforms. These milestones reflect the growing demand for plant-based, allergen-friendly nutrition, and we intend to capitalize on these opportunities."
"On the regulatory front, we are encouraged by the FDA and HHS's launch of Operation Stork Speed, an initiative aimed at expanding infant formula options and strengthening supply chain resilience. Through our continued bipartisan advocacy efforts, we aim to make significant progress toward modernizing FDA guidelines for plant-based, non-soy, non-dairy infant formula. We look forward to working closely with regulators to establish a clear pathway, ensuring that parents have access to safe, high-quality, and scientifically backed nutrition alternatives."
"Furthermore, we were recently featured in an op-ed published in The Washington Times, titled " Operation Stork Speed will ensure babies get the nutrition they need." The piece highlights the importance of accelerating access to clean-label, plant-based alternatives and aligns with our broader mission and ongoing advocacy efforts in Washington to promote science-backed updates to infant nutrition guidelines."
"Looking ahead to 2025, we are focused on expanding our retail distribution, scaling our European production, and enhancing brand visibility through targeted marketing and strategic partnerships. With a solid foundation in place, Else Nutrition is well-positioned for long-term growth, and we remain committed to delivering clean-label, plant-based nutrition solutions that meet the needs of families worldwide."
