Smart for Life Announces Q2 2022 Financial Results

Smart for Life Announces Q2 2022 Financial Results 1920 1080 Smart for Life, Inc.

Revenue Increases 401.2% Year-Over-Year to $4.3 Million for the Second Quarter of 2022 Due to Successful Acquisition Strategy

Gross Profit Margin Increases to 41.6% Versus 1.1% for the Same Period Last Year

Miami, FL – August 15, 2022 – Globe Newswire – Smart for Life, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMFL) (“Smart for Life” or the “Company”), a high growth global leader in the health & wellness sector, marketing and manufacturing nutritional foods and supplements worldwide, today provided a business update and reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

“We continue to generate solid year-over-year growth with revenues increasing more than four-fold to $4.3 million for the second quarter of 2022,” stated Darren Minton, Chief Executive Officer of Smart for Life. “We also achieved a 512.7% year-over-year increase in revenue to $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. These strong results reflect our organic growth and the successful implementation of our acquisition strategy.”

“Not included in these results is the fact that we completed the acquisition of Ceautamed Worldwide, a premier nutritional supplement company and owner of the Greens First brand, on July 29, 2022,” remarked Mr. Minton. “This transaction brings solid financials, positive EBITDA, the addition of experienced management, a successful medical distribution channel, migration of substantial contract manufacturing business to our Miami-based manufacturing facility and, most importantly, the addition of the Greens First brand and over 45 SKUs to our growing portfolio of great brands and products. Our mission is to significantly enhance sales by leveraging Ceautamed’s broad distribution medical channel and our own established direct-to-consumer relationships and digital marketing platform. By migrating substantial contract manufacturing business to our Miami-based manufacturing facility, we expect to benefit from meaningful operating efficiencies and cost savings.”

“This is our fifth successful acquisition further validating our “buy and build” growth strategy and our ability to successfully integrate each acquisition into the Smart for Life corporate family,” commented A.J. Cervantes, Jr., Smart for Life’s Executive Chairman.  “Each transaction further validates our ability to acquire cash flow positive companies at attractive multiples, but also our ability to successfully integrate these companies within our organization. With instantly recognizable brands, industry-leading products, loyal customers, and a full range of world-class service offerings, Smart for Life is ideally positioned to bring health & wellness to customers around the world, while remaining laser focused on driving shareholder value.”

“Our proactive acquisition strategy aligns to our previously announced goal of $300 million in revenue within the next thirty-six months,” stated Alan Bergman, Smart for Life’s Chief Financial Officer.  “We believe that the net loss we have generated as an emerging growth company does not fully reflect the benefit of our recent acquisitions. We expect that the consolidation of our operations should result in improved profitability in future quarters as we continue to reduce costs and grow our top-line revenue. In conclusion, we are successfully executing on a carefully orchestrated roll up strategy capitalizing on the fragmented yet rapidly growing nutraceutical market, and believe we are well positioned to drive increased profitability going forward given the scalability of our business model.”

Financial Results
Revenues increased to $4.3 million in Q2 2022 compared to $0.9 million for Q2 2021, an increase of $3.4 million, or 401.2%. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Doctors Scientific Organica, LLC, Nexus Offers, Inc. and GSP Nutrition Inc. that were completed in the third and fourth quarters of 2021. Gross profit increased to $1.8 million in Q2 2022 compared to approximately $9,000 for same period last year, an increase of approximately $1.8 million. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $3.4 million in Q2 2022 compared to $1.0 million in Q2 2021 primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses of $3.1 million and total other expense of $0.7 million.

Revenues increased to $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $7.3 million, or 512.7%, due to the acquisitions completed in 2021. Gross profit increased to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to approximately $30,000 for same period last year, an increase of $3.3 million. Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.7 million for same period last year, primarily due to the increase in general and administrative expenses of $6.8 million and total other expense of $13.9 million.

The Company reported EBITDA of ($2.0) million in Q2 2022, as compared to EBITDA of ($0.9) million for Q2 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported EBITDA of ($5.4) million versus EBITDA of ($1.5) million for the same period last year. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization.  EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, earnings as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. The Company believes the presentation of EBITDA is relevant and useful by enhancing the readers’ ability to understand the Company’s operating performance. The Company’s management utilizes EBITDA as means to measure performance. The Company’s measurements of EBITDA may not be comparable to similar titled measures reported by other companies. The table below reconciles EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to GAAP numbers for net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Smart for Life Completes Acquisition of Ceautamed Worldwide the Owner of Greens First

Smart for Life Completes Acquisition of Ceautamed Worldwide the Owner of Greens First 1920 1080 Smart for Life, Inc.

Acquisition Expected to be Highly Synergistic and Accretive

Adds Established Medical Distribution Channel and Expands Product Portfolio

Miami, FL – August 4, 2022 – Globe Newswire – Smart for Life, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMFL) (“Smart for Life” or the “Company”), a high growth global leader in the health & wellness sector, marketing and manufacturing nutritional foods and supplements worldwide, today announced the completion of its previously announced Ceautamed Worldwide acquisition.

“This is an unequivocal validation of our ‘buy and build’ acquisition strategy, as we execute on our mission to become a dominant global force in the health and wellness sector,” noted A.J. Cervantes, Jr., Executive Chairman of Smart for Life. “This transaction provides numerous benefits to Smart for Life including not only solid financials, including positive EBITDA, but also the addition of experienced management, a successful medical distribution channel, migration of substantial contract manufacturing business to our Miami-based manufacturing facility and, most importantly, the addition of the Greens First brand with over 45 SKUs to our growing portfolio of great brands and products.”

Smart for Life’s acquisition of Ceautamed closed on July 29, 2022 and brings with it the Greens First line of products, which have been sold primarily via medical channels for over 20 years. Ceautamed has historically utilized third-party contract manufacturing that will migrate to Bonne Santé Natural Manufacturing, Smart for Life’s wholly owned state-of-the-art FDA-certified manufacturing facility based in Miami, Florida.

Stuart Benson, Ceautamed’s Founder and Chairman, said, “Ryan Benson, Ceautamed’s Chief Executive Officer, and I have worked proactively with the Smart for Life team to ensure a seamless transition, and we look forward to consolidating Ceautamed’s operations with Smart for Life’s. We have successfully built Ceautamed over the last 20 years and are excited to be part of the team supporting Ceautamed’s next chapter.”

Ryan Benson, Ceautamed’s CEO, remarked, “Over the past decade building our company, our entire team has spent countless hours and has been completely dedicated to the success of Ceautamed’s brands such as Greens First. We are thrilled about our agreement with Smart for Life and we look forward to the long-term future of our business with their support.”

An additional key benefit of the Ceautamed acquisition is leveraging Smart for Life’s considerable direct-to-consumer expertise and cross marketing Greens First products through its existing marketing initiatives on Amazon and other platforms.

“Our entire management team has been diligent in working to identify opportunities that we will now actualize, particularly consolidation and cross marketing benefits of our other products and services,” said Darren Minton, Smart for Life’s Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, this acquisition not only validates our business model but contributes to our previously announced goal of $300 million in revenue within the next several years, while enabling us to achieve significant economies of scale. Despite adverse market conditions, we told our shareholders we would accomplish this acquisition, and we did.”

Alan Bergman, Smart for Life’s Chief Financial Officer, said, “Notwithstanding the worldwide financial market meltdown, high inflation, the Russian-Ukrainian war and the material diminution of market valuations for public companies across the board, we were determined in structuring and securing the necessary financing to successfully complete this transaction. I’m pleased to report that not a single share of stock was sold to accomplish the Ceautamed acquisition.”

Mr. Cervantes added, “We believe it is only a matter of time before the market recognizes the opportunity that Smart for Life represents. Despite adverse conditions that companies of all shapes and sizes are currently experiencing, we believe we will continue to get transactions completed to further our business goals and reach significant organizational milestones which, in turn, can lead to enhanced market valuations.”

Mr. Minton concluded, “It is our opinion that our proactive acquisition strategy, targeting accretive cash flow positive companies, combined with strategies to enhance organic growth, represents the best path to drive long-term value for shareholders.”

Acquisition Expected to Close in June and Result in Significant Operating Efficiencies

Company Provides Response to Nasdaq Notice

Miami, FL – June 8, 2022 – Smart for Life, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMFL) (“Smart for Life” or the “Company”), a global leader in the Health & Wellness sector marketing and manufacturing nutritional supplements and foods worldwide, today reported that due diligence is complete and the previously announcedpending acquisition of Ceautamed Worldwide, LLC is on track for closing this month.  In connection with the transaction, Smart for Life is making a $1 million payment toward the acquisition this week, with an anticipated closing by June 30, 2022, but no later than July 29, 2022.

“I am pleased to report that we are on track to complete the transformative acquisition of Ceautamed now that we have completed due diligence as well as finalization of key documentation,” noted A.J. Cervantes, Jr., Executive Chairman for Smart for Life. “Ceautamed’s Chairman, Stuart Benson, and CEO, Ryan Benson, have been actively collaborating with our team to help ensure a seamless transition and optimize the consolidation of Ceautamed’s operations with our own. In particular, we look forward to transitioning Ceautamed’s manufacturing to our wholly owned FDA-certified manufacturing facility in Miami.  Historically, Ceautamed has relied on third-party manufacturers and the consolidation of our operations should result in meaningful operating efficiencies and cost savings.”

“A.J. and his team have been highly proactive in the identification of joint opportunities that we plan to implement on closing which have the potential to significantly enhance sales by leveraging Smart for Life’s established direct-to-consumer and wholesale distribution channels including our unique medical channel,” said Stuart Benson. “In addition, Alan Bergman, Smart for Life’s Chief Financial Officer, has spent a significant amount of time at our facility identifying meaningful consolidation benefits.”

Darren Minton, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The Ceautamed acquisition is another validation of our Buy-and-Build strategy supporting our goal of creating a dominant global force in the Health & Wellness sector as we move toward our previously stated mission of $100 million in annualized revenues within the next 12 months. We could not be more excited to extend our offering to include Ceautamed’s broad product line which includes their highly regarded Greens First brand and variety of well-designed nutritional products such as antioxidant-rich supplements, plant-based protein, alkalizing nutrients and products designed for weight management.”

Response to Nasdaq Notice
Smart for Life also reported that on June 2, 2022, it received a notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the Company will have a 180-day grace period, until November 29, 2022, to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid requirement. Compliance will be achieved automatically and without further action when the closing bid price of the Company’s stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time during the 180-day compliance period, in which case Nasdaq will notify the Company of its compliance and the matter will be closed. In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace rules, following the initial grace period, the Company believes it would be eligible for an additional 180-day grace period, assuming it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Nasdaq letter does not impact Smart for Life’s current listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

“We are an emerging growth, early-stage public company that came public in the midst of public markets turmoil, high inflation, bear markets, the Russian-Ukrainian war and the material diminution of market valuations for large and small public companies across the board as a result of abhorrent market conditions. We believe it is only a matter of time before the market recognizes the opportunity that Smart for Life represents,” stated Mr. Cervantes.

Mr. Minton added, “Despite adverse market conditions, demand for nutraceutical products continues to grow and we are executing on our business model, including accretive acquisitions of companies with positive cash flow coupled with organic growth. This extension provides us with another six months, potentially twelve months, to further our business, complete acquisitions and achieve significant organizational milestones, which we believe will drive significant value for our shareholders. Following our acquisition of Ceautamed, we plan to initiate a comprehensive investor and public relations program to drive awareness for Smart for Life in advance of a number of meaningful upcoming catalysts.”
