Strong Subscription-Based Revenue Growth and Third Sequential Positive Cash Flow Quarter

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / August 14, 2024 / Healthy Extracts Inc. (OTCQB:HYEX), a platform for acquiring, developing, patenting, marketing, and distributing plant-based nutraceuticals that target select high-growth categories within the multibillion-dollar nutraceuticals market, reported results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. All comparisons are to the same year-ago period unless otherwise noted.

Q2 2024 Financial Highlights

• Net revenue increased 54% to a record $908,000, driven primarily by distribution channel expansion, particularly wholesale, and growth in subscription-based revenue.

• Gross profit increased 71% to $486,000 with gross margin up 510 basis points to 53.5% due to manufacturing efficiency and product mix.

• Achieved third sequential positive cash flow quarter, generating approximately $80,000 in the quarter.

• Operating expenses decreased 68% to $498,000 in the quarter.

• Net income of $113,500 or $0.04 per basic and diluted share.

• Amazon "Subscribe & Save" customers at June 30, 2024 increased 70% year-over-year to a record number of subscribers. Direct-to-consumer subscription customers (excluding Amazon) at June 30, 2024 increased 26% year-over-year. Subscription growth helps reduce customer acquisition costs, increases traction, and provides greater visibility into future revenue.

Management Commentary

"In Q2, our record-breaking top-line growth, margin expansion, and improved cash flow were driven by strong gains in both direct-to-consumer and wholesale sales," stated Healthy Extracts President, Duke Pitts. "Even aside from wholesale that was unusually high for the quarter, we surpassed our earlier stated expectations for the quarter, reflecting growing momentum with our target retail customers.

"During the quarter we also strengthened our financial foundation, reducing debt by more than $108,000 while simultaneously increasing our cash reserves. In fact, our debt restructuring and streamlining in Q2 resulted in an additional $15,000 per month in positive cash flow. As a result, we achieved our third consecutive quarter of positive cash flow, generating approximately $80,000. We are planning to reinvest this cash flow into further expanding our product offerings and revenue streams, including the valuable recurring revenue from product subscriptions.

"For our Amazon "Subscribe & Save" offers, we generated record sales on Amazon in July, primarily as a result of our sales and marketing efforts during Prime Day. We expect Amazon sales to continue to be strong in the coming months.

"Given our success with the Amazon "Subscribe and Save" offer, in July we replaced our traditional buy-2-get-1 offers on our DTC eCommerce website with a 20% discount for subscribing to monthly shipments. We expect this move to increase sales and margins, as well as the lifetime value of our customers. In fact, the new offer has been well received, generating a significant increase in overall subscriber growth during the first several weeks.

"Looking ahead, we anticipate continued strong performance in top-line growth, increased cash flow, profitability, and market share expansion as our addressable markets strengthen. This growth will be largely driven by the launch of new products that will benefit from the broad market channels we have strategically developed and invested in over the past several years. These investments have proven to be the most effective way to create significant shareholder value, and this will continue to be our top priority."

2024 Financial Outlook

For the remainder of 2024, the company anticipates continued growth with new product introductions laying a path for higher profits excluding non-cash transactions.

Q2 2024 Financial Summary

Net revenue in the second quarter of 2024 increased 54% to $908,000 from $588,000 in the same year-ago quarter, primarily due to distribution channel expansion and to a lesser extent the growth in subscription-based revenue.

Gross profit totaled $486,000 or 53.5% of net revenue as compared to $285,000 or 48.4% of net revenue in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in gross margin was a result of manufacturing efficiency and product mix.

Operating expenses decreased 68% to $498,000 as compared to $1.5 million 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 second quarter of 2024, and to a lesser extent the reduction in general operating expense in the second quarter of 2024.

Net income totaled $113,500 or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $1.3 million or $(0.44) per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago period, with the improvement primarily due to the decreased expenses and a change in the fair value of derivative expense.

Excluding costs related to the company's planned acquisition and public offering expenses, regulatory expense, stock-based compensation expense, change in fair value of derivative expense and interest expense, net income in the second quarter of 2024 totaled $37,000 or $0.01 per basic and diluted share.

First Half 2024 Financial Summary

Net revenue in the second half of 2024 increased 33% to $1.6 million from $1.2 million in the same year-ago period, primarily due to product line and distribution channel expansion.

Gross profit totaled $894,000 or 56.0% of net revenue as compared to $563,000 or 46.8% of net revenue in the same year-ago period. The increase in gross margin was a result of product mix sold, and the decrease in manufacturing and freight costs.

Operating expenses decreased 56% to $968,000 compared to 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 Nasdaq and the issuance of options and warrants that did not reoccur in the first half of 2024, and to a lesser extent the reduction in general operating expense in the first half of 2024.

Net loss for the first half of 2024 totaled $0.7 million or $(0.25) per basic and diluted share, as compared to $1.8 million or $(0.64) per basic and diluted share. The improvement in net loss was primarily due to the same factors in the second quarter of 2024.

Excluding costs related to the company's planned acquisition and public offering expenses, regulatory expense, stock compensation expense, change in fair value on derivative expense and interest expense, net income totaled $25,000 or $0.01 per basic and diluted share.
