The Board and CEO of Eevia Health Plc present the Interim financial report for quarter 3, 2024.
Financial developments and significant events in the third quarter of 2024:
• Net sales increased to KEUR 444 in Q3-24 from KEUR 410 in Q2-24, or 8%. Compared to Q3-24, net sales were down by KEUR 473 from KEUR 917, or 52%.
• Gross profit in Q3-24 was KEUR 211, a decrease of 32% from KEUR 311 in Q2-24 and 39% from KEUR 348 in Q3-23. The gross margin was 46% in Q3-24, down from 76% in Q2-24 and up from 34% in Q3-23. The decline from Q2-24 was due to a change in product mix in sales and the rising prices of raw materials from berries.
• EBITDA in Q3-24 was KEUR - 299, compared to KEUR - 198 in Q2-24 and positive KEUR 2 in Q3-23. The reduction in EBITDA of KEUR 101 between Q2-24 and Q3-24 mainly stemmed from Board compensations booked in July and legal costs related to the Equity issue booked in Overheads. Adjusted for one-off costs related to the Rights issue, the EBITDA was KEUR - 187 in Q3-24.
• Financial expenses for Q3-25 were KEUR 327 due to significant costs related to guarantor commissions and fees related to the facilitation of the Rights issue.
• The net result for Q3-24 was negative with KEUR - 931 compared to KEUR - 558 in Q2-24 and KEUR - 317 in Q3-23.
• Cash flow from operations was negative, with KEUR -365 in Q3-24 compared to KEUR - 269 in Q2-24 and KEUR - 1 023 in Q3-23. The decrease in operating cash flow stems primarily from changes in working capital during the period and negative EBITDA.
• Eevia repaid in July a short-term loan from a Danish fund of KEUR 656, which was taken up in Q2-24.
• We executed a direct placement in September of 2,7 million shares as guarantee-commissions to guarantors.
• Eevia won a significant new customer in August, which placed quite quickly two orders of Feno-Myrtillus 25.
• We landed a significant order from a domestic customer of KEUR 90.
• We worked on reducing inventory in the quarter, but due to an out of specificaton delivery which we had to
take back, reprocess and then reinvoice in Q4-24, the inventory level did not come down for the quarter.
• A comprehensive turnaround plan was developed during September, and finalized and approved in October-November, forming a new strategic business plan for Eevia Health. Significant customer validations were acquired during October.
• After the period, a new Board was elected (November).
• We achieved the first commercially significant sales of Liquid berry sugars, a side stream product, to a Baltic company. Interest from other larger players followed and a market for these products is now identified.
