Milestone initiatives delivering growth in the US and Southeast Asia

Nutritional Growth Solutions has delivered a solid June quarter for revenue and cash receipts, with sell-through of New Zealand manufactured Healthy Heights® in China driving sales growth of 958% in the region.

In the US, the continued rollout of the retail expansion strategy continued with new agreements with Kroger.com, Ralphs.com, and Smiths.com to drive continued growth.

Quarterly overall revenue was US$755k, down on the prior corresponding period (pcp), due to the timing of an initial order from Italy in 2021. Quarterly revenue from sales of Healthy Heights® products in the US and China are up 14% on pcp.

Commenting on the Company's progress during the quarter, Nutritional Growth Solutions CEO Liron Fendell said, "Our expansions in the US and Southeast Asia are gathering momentum, playing a key role in growing Healthy Heights® into a global household name in child nutrition. Ranging the full Healthy Heights® portfolio on the ecommerce site of Kroger, the US' third largest general retailer

behind Walmart and Amazon, is a testament to our team's hard work over the quarter and complements our recent agreements with Walmart.com and Rangeme.com.

"With our new manufacturing facility in New Zealand now fully operational and distributing into Southeast Asia, sales increased 958% in China compared to the previous quarter, demonstrating the growing demand for paediatric products that are safe and healthy to provide optimal nutritional to children during their most formative years. Our agreements with Chemist Warehouse China, JD.com, Lazada and Shopee are well placed to scale given we have sufficient NZ manufactured product to ramp up stock levels as the demand increases in the region.

"The appointments of industry specialists Mark Sargent and Peter Osborne, will ensure our operations in the Asia Pacific are overseen by the best talent in the industry and are a key part in growing Healthy Heights® in the lucrative China and Australian markets."
