Financial Results

For the year-to-date Q3 2021, Element increased revenue to $2.1 million, up 212% from $0.7 million for the year-to-date Q3 2020. Results for both periods are attributable to new listings with large retailers, as well as increased e-commerce sales and sales to existing retailers for the Company’s flagship Rejuvenate™ product.

Element reported a net loss of $3.0 million in Q3 2021, as compared to a net loss of $4.6 million in Q3 2020, and a net loss of $7.5 million for the year-to-date Q32021, as compared to a net loss of $5.2 million for the comparable prior year period. The impact of the increased revenue was offset by the issuance of warrants and options to key personnel and onboarding new staff, advertising and marketing costs related to new products launches, as well as higher professional fees related to its prospectus filing, reverse take-over transactions and investors relations.
