ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
Exceptional Revenue Growth in H1 FY24
29 August 2024: Elixinol Wellness Ltd (ASX:EXL) (“EXL”, “Elixinol”, “Company” or “Group”), a
producer, manufacturer and distributor of sustainable plant-based nutrition and nutraceutical
products, is delighted to report its H1 FY24 Interim Financial Results for the six months ending 30
June 2024 (“H1 FY24”).
Highlights
•
Impressive Revenue Growth: Group revenue surged to $6.8M in H1 FY24, a 96%
improvement on H1 FY23. ‘Dramatic growth was driven by the successful integration of The
Sustainable Nutrition Group (TSN) and Ananda Food acquisitions, alongside robust organic
growth in core brands like Hemp Foods Australia. Expanded market reach and product
offerings in key growth segments were key growth drivers.
•
Australian Market Strength: Australian sales skyrocketed by 174% pcp, reaching $5.8M in
H1 FY24, bolstered by robust market expansion and the successful launch of new SKUs under
the Mt Elephant and Hemp Food Australia brands.
•
Positive EBITDA in the Americas: Despite some sales disruption during the transition to a
capital light e-commerce model, the Americas achieved a positive Adjusted EBITDA* of
$0.1M, a significant improvement from a $1.0 million loss in H1 FY23.
•
Significant Group EBITDA Improvement and Rigorous Cost Management: Group Adjusted
EBITDA narrowed dramatically to $1.5 million in H1 FY24, down from $2.6 million in H1
FY23, aided by the Company’s rigorous focus on operational efficiency and cost control.
Operating expenses were reduced by 9% year-on-year, now accounting for 60% of revenue
compared with 128% in H1 FY23, showcasing a 53% improvement and positioning the
company for profitability in H2.
•
Challenging Margin Dynamics: Gross profit increased to $2.4 million, though the gross
profit margin temporarily declined from 45% to 35% due to a shift in sales mix and ongoing
supply chain pressures. However, the Company expects enhanced in-house processing
capabilities and further cost savings initiatives to yield improvements in Cost of Goods
Sold (COGS) and margins during H2.
•
Strengthened Financial Position: Net assets improved by $0.97M, supported by an
increase in cash reserves to $1.6M, reflecting effective asset-liability management and
strategic capital allocation.
•
On track for Positive Adjusted EBITDA in 2024: EXL is on track to achieve positive Adjusted
EBITDA in 2024, reaffirming FY24 revenue guidance of $16-$20M. Targeted revenue of $9.2$10M for H2 FY24 to be driven by renewed growth in the U.S. and expanded market presence.
