Management Commentary
"Since beginning operations on February 1st of this year, we continued to aggressively execute on the strategic expansion of our national retail footprint into tier-1 health and nutrition retailers," said David Lovatt, Chief Executive Officer of Torque Lifestyle Brands. "Through our joint venture with Zero Day Nutrition, we are vertically integrating the Company alongside an industry leading manufacturing firm, and we expect to see increasing revenue momentum from the partnership to begin in the second half of the calendar year. Combined with our focus on organic growth and sustainable, recurring revenue across our Torque family of brands, we remain confident in reaching over $1.5 million in revenue in calendar 2021.
"We also took significant actions to better position the company in the capital markets in the quarter, and in anticipation of filing a Form 10 and uplisting to the OTCQB® Venture Market, we appointed a new independent auditor and declared a three-for-one forward split of the Company's common stock. Furthermore, we engaged MZ Group, a leading investor relations agency to advise us in all facets of corporate and financial communications - while concurrently launching a new investor relations website to better align with best practices for OTCQB listed companies.
"Looking ahead our team remains highly confident in our growth trajectory, supported by an ongoing sales rollout into tier-1 national retailers and the expansion of our partnership with Zero Day Nutrition. We look forward to sharing additional updates on our progress as we strive to create sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders," concluded Lovatt.
