LISHUI, China, Aug. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Farmmi, Inc. ("Farmmi" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: FAMI), an agricultural products supplier in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended March 31, 2022, with record revenue generated by new growth segments.
Ms. Yefang Zhang, Farmmi's Chairwoman and CEO, commented, "We are very pleased with the 148% increase in revenue we drove for the first half of fiscal 2022, which represents a record revenue level for Farmmi. We achieved growth in our core segments, while generating nearly half of our revenue from new agricultural segments. Because our new cotton and corn businesses layer on top of our existing revenue streams, this is completely additive revenue that expands the breadth of our product lines, which we believe will further strengthen our existing customer relationships and attract important new customers. While we are pleased with our continued execution and accelerated growth, our results would have been even stronger absent rolling pandemic related shutdowns in China, higher logistics costs, supply chain constraints and a higher cost of goods. We worked hard to mitigate the macro weakness and impact of global inflation with price increases and efforts to increase efficiencies company-wide, while at the same time leveraging our competitive advantages, including premium product quality, stable and experienced employees, favorable production locations and strong relationships with our significant suppliers."
Looking forward, Ms. Yefang Zhang, Farmmi's Chairwoman and CEO, concluded, "We are very optimistic about the strength and durability of our diversified business moving forward, our advantaged competitive position and the excellent fundamentals underlying the agricultural markets we serve worldwide. As part of our strategic efforts, we fortified our balance sheet, ending the first six months of 2022 with $170.6 million in total stockholders' equity. Actions we took to raise additional cash have helped insulate Farmmi from recent market volatility, while allowing us to remain focused on execution of our long-term growth strategy. Our stronger balance sheet gives larger domestic and international customers added confidence in Farmmi as a partner and allows us to accelerate investments in our organic business, while also pursuing strategic M&A opportunities. As an example, we saw the immediate benefit in the first half of 2022, with the added contribution from our new corn and cotton businesses. This also underscores our belief that with a market capitalization under $30 million, there is a clear disconnect in the valuation of our company, and our financial results, fundamentals and growth prospects. We are confident that, as we deliver further improvements in our financials, we will be able to drive a more appropriate valuation that rewards our shareholders."
