Management Commentary
“Our record top-line for 2022 was driven by growing consumer demand for our expanded product offerings which were delivered through our broadening sales channels,” commented Healthy Extracts president, Duke Pitts. “This includes the launch of several Whitney Johns-branded products on her e-commerce website and Amazon store. Both of these online channels offer subscription or ‘Subscribe & Save” options, which has helped expand our recurring revenue stream with steady subscriber growth throughout the year.
“These Whitney Johns branded products were introduced under our new brand influencer program and were designed especially for Whitney’s health-conscious followers who now total more than a million across her social media channels.
“We also launched our premium Citrus Bergamot SuperFruit™ heart health supplements on Fullscript.com, which expanded our reach to thousands of healthcare practitioners and their millions of patients across the U.S. This enables us to tap the increasing trend of healthcare practitioners utilizing natural supplements.
“In addition to these new online channels, we entered the traditional retail marketplace with Natural Grocers, the nation's largest family-operated organic and natural grocery retailer. Natural Grocers was the perfect venue for this retail launch given how they provide extensive free science-based nutrition education programs that help their customers make informed buying choices. Natural Grocers’ acclaimed high standards for natural and organic products also represents a tremendous validation of our plant-based formulations for brain health. We expect such in-person retail exposure with Natural Grocers to further elevate consumer awareness of our brands, with this also benefiting our online channels.
“In further support of doctors utilizing our products, as well as retailers like Natural Grocers who provide science-based nutritional education, in 2022 we announced two key publications of research studies covering the brain health benefits of our products. To also support brand influencers like Whitney Johns who focus on sports and physical performance, during the year we began a new study investigating the effect of UBN ACTIVATE™ on golfers’ energy, focus and scores. We believe such research studies create key differentiators from other products in the marketplace and provide our customers with greater confidence in their purchase decision.
“In 2023, we look forward to working with Whitney Johns on additional formulations centered around gut health. We will also continue to pursue strategic acquisitions that would complement our portfolio of plant-based products and leverage our broad distribution channels. Such potential transactions would build upon our acquisitions of BergametNA™ for heart health in 2019 and Ultimate Brain Nutrients™ for brain health in 2020, both of which laid the foundation for our growth and broadening market reach in 2022 and our strong start to the new year.”
