Naples Soap Company, Inc. Announces Strategic Turnaround, Organizational and Financial Restructuring
Naples Soap Company, Inc. (the 'Company') (OTCPK: NASO), a leading provider and innovator of skin and hair care products made with natural ingredients, today announced the successful execution of a strategic, companywide organizational and financial turnaround with plans that have been underway for the past six months. This initiative, implemented across all business functions, is designed to position the Company for sustainable long-term growth, increased operational efficiency, product line innovations and enhanced shareholder value.
In response to the financial impacts of Hurricanes Helene and Milton in the fall of 2024, new market trends, the Company's then financial structure, and a profitability assessment, Naples Soap Company proactively launched a robust internal review and overhaul, focused on mitigating weather-related disruptions and strengthening the Company's operational and financial foundation. The Company has taken strategic steps to minimize future vulnerabilities to seasonality, expanded nationwide sales channels, and immersed in new innovation.
The turnaround addressed every aspect of financial structure, internal departments, and external business channels, including Retail, Wholesale, and E-commerce, with an emphasis on financial and human performance, accountability, and increasing profitability. Underperforming functions were either restructured, reimagined, or slated for elimination. Specific areas of transformation include:
Structural and Financial Efficiencies: Detailed financial modeling, simulations, and data-driven restructuring efforts have already resulted in enhanced budget alignment as well as improved operational and cost efficiencies that are producing measurable bottom line positive results.
R&D Innovations and Introducing New Products: The Company started a drive toward technology innovation and related products for skin care and wellness and plans to continue this focus through 2025 as it launches new product lines including botanical stem cell technology as well as enhanced product offerings with higher priced retail technology personal care devices.
Retail and Wholesale Enhancements: Store-by-store performance evaluations, merchandising strategy adjustments, and restructured wholesale partnerships have improved margins and strengthened market presence.
E-Commerce Revamp: Naples Soap Company completed a thorough digital channel analysis and optimized e-commerce operations by renegotiating digital management fees, upgrading platforms, and shifting away from underperforming sales channels, such as Amazon.
Expense Optimization: Companywide reviews led to right-sized payroll budgets, improved software utilization, streamlined marketing, reduced merchandising expenses, and tighter retail operational cost controls.
'As we complete this critical restructuring phase, we are more confident than ever in Naples Soap Company's future,' said Deanna Wallin, Founder and CEO of Naples Soap Company. 'This comprehensive turnaround strategy strengthens every aspect of our business and sets the foundation for long-term growth and success. Our commitment to driving shareholder value is unwavering, and we believe the steps we've taken will not only improve near-term performance but also unlock the full potential of our brand and operations in the years ahead.'

Batesville's big vision takes shape with major park and water projects
BATESVILLE, Ark. — Less than two years after Batesville voters overwhelmingly approved the 'Building a Better Batesville' initiative, the city is already seeing significant progress, without a single tax increase. Approved in August 2023, the $25 million plan focuses on revitalizing public parks and modernizing aging water infrastructure, two areas city leaders say are key to Batesville's long-term success. 'Our citizens stepped up absolutely and they said yes to a new event center, a totally new park, Riverside Park and so we are very excited about that,' Batesville Mayor Rick Elumbaugh said. Arkansas Game and Fish Commission plans public meeting for Lake Conway updates The crown jewel of the initiative is a completely renewed vision of Riverside Park, which is now closed for redevelopment. When it reopens in 2026, the park will feature expanded walking trails, splash pads, pavilions, sports courts for tennis and pickleball, and an all-inclusive playground. 'We're especially proud of the all-inclusive design—it'll serve special needs children, adults, and the whole community,' Elumbaugh said. Elumbaugh, a former physical education teacher who managed the city's pools for over three decades, has long advocated for accessible, active public spaces. 'I'm passionate not just about recreation, but about quality of life and place for our residents,' he said. In addition to parks, the initiative includes major upgrades to the city's water system. The current water plant, built in the 1960s, is expanding with a new facility that broke ground earlier this year. The mayor says it's a necessary step for ensuring clean, reliable water for the next 50-plus years. Maumelle set for 40th-anniversary celebration on June 20 Elumbaugh also sees the improvements as an investment in the city's identity and economic future. 'There are 500 incorporated cities in Arkansas—we want to be one of those cities known for quality of life, quality of place, and being a great place to raise a family,' he said. From infrastructure to inclusivity, the 'Building a Better Batesville' initiative is shaping the city's next chapter—one park bench and water pipe at a time, with the mayor stating he is excited to see the initiative through to the end and what the future then holds.
