for November 2024 amounted to $512,932, reflecting strong trend growth following the acquisition of Oat Milk
Goodness (OMG).
Group sales momentum
November sales are up from $360,000 in October (refer ASX announcement: 7 November 2024) and mark an 80%
increase on the same month last year (November 2023: $284,864). The uptick has been underpinned by sales of the
Company’s leading Blue Dinosaur range, combined with sales of Oat Milk Goodness (OMG) products through
ecommerce and key retailers including Ampol Foodary and Woolworths.
Sales in November were further supported by strong execution of the Company’s Black Friday ecommerce campaign
strategy, which was implemented throughout the month and included a record-high one-day sales total for online
sales of Blue Dinosaur products in the Australian market. Domestic ecommerce sales for Blue Dinosaur products
amounted to $204,545, up 128% from October 2024 and a 110% increase from the prior year comparative period.
Across the group, recent sales momentum validates the Company’s stated strategy to leverage its expanded size and
product range post-transaction to increase sales and exposure through established ecommerce channels, supported
by proactive and cost-effective marketing campaigns. The current sales trajectory highlights the potential for the
combined group to unlock value through economies of scale and multi-channel revenue drivers.

Management changes
Along with its expanding sales profile following the strategic acquisition of OMG, the Company also announces that
Marcus Brown, CEO of the group’s US operations, has tendered his resignation effective from 28 February 2025.
As a result of the work carried out by Mr Brown over the past 18 months, Forbidden Foods now has an established
footprint in the US market comprising supply chain logistics, co-manufacturing partners and broker networks for key
sales channels. Following Mr Brown’s resignation, the Board has determined that these operations can be run
remotely from Australia. Effective from March 2025, Group CEO Alex Aleksic will assume responsibility for the
Company’s US operations.
Management commentary:
Forbidden Foods’ Chief Executive Officer, Alex Aleksic said: “November sales to date provide a very strong vote of
confidence in the Company’s two leading brands. Pleasingly, Oat Milk Goodness sales have been underpinned by a
recent increase in ranging across Ampol Foodary stores, as well as new product ranging agreements in 400
Woolworths stores nationwide. Complementing the growth of OMG products through physical store networks, the
Blue Dinosaur brand also has seen considerable momentum in the Australian market across October and November,
led by record ecommerce sales.”
“These results further validate the strategic rationale behind our recent acquisition, which has positioned the business
with multiple new growth drivers across both its product range and targeted distribution channels. We are confident
that recent initiatives including new product launches, marketing partnerships and the optimisation of the combined
entity’s operations and cost structure will continue to unlock value for shareholders.”
“I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Marcus for his efforts in establishing our US operations, and wish him
well in his future endeavours. The US market is still considered by the Company as a potential high-growth sales
channel as part of our broader international expansion strategy, so we are pleased to have an established footprint
in the region. I look forward to providing more updates in the coming months as Forbidden Foods continues to pursue
a step-change in revenue and margin growth across the combined group.”
