Completion of all-script deal to acquire non-dairy business, Oat Milk Goodness (‘OMG’).
Successful capital raising of $0.65 million in August 2024 in connection with OMG acquisition.
Revenue up 18.5% in H1 FY2025 v prior corresponding period, underpinned by strong momentum for the
combined entity in the December quarter following completion of the OMG acquisition.
December quarter net sales of $1.17 million, up 104% from the previous quarter and up 77% from Q2 FY2024,
best quarterly sales result since new management joined the Company in July 2023 and implemented a
strategic restructure.
Sales in November 2024 also marked the highest monthly sales total since the restructure, which was initially
focused on cost reduction initiatives and the scaled expansion of high-margin growth channels.
17.1% reduction in net loss for the period to ($899,687), with adjustments for one-off acquisition costs
resulting in a further 34.1% improvement in net losses for the period ($706,671).
Cost savings in H1 FY2025 due to material reduction in employee benefits expenses and corporate service
expenses which are expected to contribute to stronger margin growth from continuing operations as revenue
increases.
Further costs savings generated from the OMG acquisition, led by the streamlining of warehousing and
logistics operations across the brand portfolio.
Company now positioned to maintain growth of group revenues from a lower cost base, underpinning drive
towards profitability and positive operating cash flows.

Management commentary:
Forbidden Foods’ Chief Executive Officer, Alex Aleksic said: “We are pleased to present the accounts for H1 FY2025 –
a significant six months which was highlighted by the strategic acquisition of Oat Milk Goodness and the Company’s
transition to a high-growth, multi-brand platform in the FMCG sector.
“The execution of that strategy is reflected in these figures, with accelerating revenue growth from our combined
brand offering. Importantly, our sales strategy will be complemented by ongoing cost savings from staff changes and
operational synergies generated from the OMG acquisition. Combined with the discontinuation of one-off costs
associated with the transaction that will roll off in H2 FY2025, Forbidden Foods is well positioned for a material nearterm improvement in operating cash flows and underlying net profits.
“With a targeted strategy to expand sales and distribution alongside new product development based on the
Company’s proprietary market research, we look forward to further accelerating the group’s growth profile in CY25
and beyond.”
