Bloomios Reports Q1 2023 Revenue up 30% Sequentially and 84% Y/Y to $2.75 Million
Annualized Run Rate Hits $11.0 Million vs. $6.1 million in 2022, Driven by Increased Order Flow and Production Capacity
Q2 2023 Outlook of Revenues to Exceed $3 million, up more than 137%
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., June 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bloomios, Inc. (OTCQB: BLMS), a leading white-label and private-label manufacturer and wholesaler of hemp-derived nutraceutical, cosmetics and pet products, reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023. All comparisons are to the same year-ago period unless otherwise noted.
Q1 Highlights
- Revenue totaled $2.75 million, up 30% sequentially and up 84% compared to the year-ago quarter, reflecting a return to revenue growth post-transformative acquisition.
- Ended quarter with substantial order backlog as operations continue to scale to meet growing demand.
- Significantly expanded production capacity at Daytona cGMP manufacturing facility with the addition of equipment, systems and operations.
- Appointed Joe Reid as chief manufacturing officer of Bloomios Private Label to lead plant expansion and efficiencies.
- Customer and product sales continue to diversify following the introduction of a new range of nootropic and nutraceutical products.
Management Commentary
"Our strong sequential and year-over-year revenue growth for now two quarters in a row demonstrate we're now back on a growth trajectory," stated Bloomios CEO, Michael Hill. "We also continued to achieve incremental improvements in operational costs and efficiencies, with this helping to shore up our bottom line from the previous quarter while delivering products faster to the customer.
"During the quarter we continued the relocation of the portfolio of equipment, systems and operations that we acquired last fall to our cGMP facility in Daytona, Florida. The transition has taken longer than anticipated, with this resulting in delayed revenues and lower than anticipated production. In spite of these challenges, the progress we've been making with the new equipment coming online is helping us address a substantial backlog, with this reflected in the revenue growth over the past two quarters.
"Looking ahead, we expect another quarter of sequential and year over year growth, with second quarter sales on track to exceed $3 million compared to $1.3 million in the same year-ago period. We believe this will be driven by our broadened customer base, as well as expanding sales team and product portfolio.
We will remain focused on expense reductions through consolidation and increasing efficiencies with our expanded manufacturing operations. While many companies have been impacted by supply chain constraints, we are not experiencing or expect to have any significant supply constraints.
"To further accelerate growth and capture market share, we are also evaluating certain strategic acquisitions in what we see as a target-rich M&A environment. In all, our ramping production, order flow and record backlog all support 2023 becoming the best year yet for Bloomios."
Outlook
Company expects second quarter of 2023 revenues to exceed $3 million, up more than 137% from $1.3 million in the same year-ago period.
Q1 Financial Summary
Revenue in the first quarter of 2023 totaled $2.75 million, up 84% from $1.5 million in the same year-ago quarter.
Gross profit totaled $675,000 or 25% of revenue as compared to $640,000 or 43% of revenue in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily due to the increase in the cost of goods sold which was associated with factors related to the integration of the acquisition. Gross margin is anticipated to improve in future quarters.
Operating expenses totaled $2.3 million compared to $1.6 million in the same year-ago quarter, with the increase primarily due to costs associated with the integration of equipment, systems and operations from the acquisition.
Net loss totaled $2.7 million compared to a net loss of $1.3 million in the same year-ago period. Net loss included interest expense of $1.1 million as compared to $186,000 in the same year-ago period.
Current assets totaled $2.4 million as of March 31, 2023, as compared to $2.4 million on December 31, 2022.
