“Arcadia continues to make excellent progress in executing Project Greenfield, our three-year strategic plan to unlock the company’s potential and provide a path to profitability,” said Stan Jacot, president and CEO. “GoodWheatTM pasta and pancake mixes and Zola® coconut water added more than a thousand of stores of distribution in Q3, resulting in revenue growth from continuing operations of 20 percent compared to Q2 2023. And we are operating with a leaner structure after winding down our body care business, resulting in our lowest total SG&A expenses since 2019!”
In addition to GoodWheat pasta and pancake mixes, Arcadia has now expanded to a third category with the upcoming launch of GoodWheat Mac & Cheese, a family household staple representing more than
GoodWheat Mac & Cheese packs in the most fiber of any brand in the category, with four times more fiber than the leading brand, as well as 12 grams of protein. One serving of GoodWheat Mac & Cheese has the same fiber as two servings of oatmeal or two and a half servings of broccoli. Available in three varieties – Classic Cheddar, White Cheddar and Three Cheese – GoodWheat Mac & Cheese will start shipping to retailers this month with an e-commerce launch planned in February 2024.
“We believe Arcadia is in the best position in its history as we prepare to enter 2024,” said Jacot. “We’ve delivered positive gross profit from continuing operations for seven consecutive quarters and streamlined our cost structure by exiting unprofitable businesses. Our proprietary wheat technology has been commercialized in three categories, with the potential to add additional categories through acquisition. And we continue to explore a range of strategic options to further scale the business, in line with our Project Greenfield strategy.”
