With our ninth (9th) consecutive record setting quarter in total revenue, you can see our continued commitment to shareholders as we continue to execute our strategic plans and improve company wide performance," said Shawn Moniz, Chief Executive Officer of Happy Belly Food Group. "We are witnessing consistent and sustainable growth across the company's operations, by staying financially disciplined, while achieving organic and inorganic growth across our portfolio of brands and business segments (QSR and CPG). Our accretive M&A strategy included our largest acquisition in January 2024 (Via Cibo restaurant group) and later in the same month with Yolks Breakfast Inc., which further contributes to the exciting growth of Happy Belly Food Group Inc."

"In Q2 2024, we once again achieved record revenues and positive EBITDA for BOTH our CPG and QSR segments.

Financial Highlights

  • Total revenues increased 70% in Q2 2024 to $2.30M versus $1.35M in Q2 2023. The significant growth was primarily driven by organic product sales growth in both the Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) and Consumer Product Goods (CPG) segments of the business, combined with new franchise fee, royalties and vendor rebate revenues.

  • Gross profit further improved to $0.99M in Q2 2024 versus $0.74M in Q2 2023 representing a 34% increase. The improvement in gross profits is attributed to companywide synergies and our continued focus on optimizing product costs and cost efficiencies.

  • System sales across QSR brands totaled $7.55M in Q2 2024 versus $5.37M (+41%) in the prior quarter and $1.42M (+432%) in Q2 2023. The increase is attributed to the organic growth with baseline restaurants and the increase in restaurant count from 9 in Q2 2023 to currently 26 opened in Q2 2024. Included in the 26-restaurant count are the recent acquisitions in the past three quarters with Rosie's Burgers (Q4 2023), Via Cibo Franchising Inc. (Q1 2024) and Yolks Breakfast (Q1 2024).

Total cash and cash equivalents were $4.13M in Q2 2024 driven by two non-brokered private placements completed in 2024 ($3M combined) through the issuance of convertible debentures. The closing of the private placements strengthens our balance sheet and provides us the ability to accelerate our growth strategy and executing material M&A opportunities with strong positive cash flow, when the opportunity presents itself.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA Is a non-IFRS financial measure which does not have a standardised meaning prescribed by IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are used by management as supplemental measures to review and assess operating performance and to provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends impacting the Company's business. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA are useful measures of operating performance and the Company's ability to generate cash-based earnings, as they provide a more relevant position of operating results by excluding the effects of financing and investing activities, which removes the effects of interest, depreciation and amortization expenses as well as other expenses, as described, that are not reflective of the Company's underlying business. This non-IFRS measure is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net comprehensive income or (loss), excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted for share-based compensation, foreign exchange gains and losses, impairment and non-recurring expenses.
