NEWS: PlantX Reports 2023 Financial Results @goplantx
Fiscal 2023 Highlights
Revenue increased 11.0% to $13,299,891 compared to $11,984,809 in 2022
Gross margin increased 30.4% to $5,088,767 compared to $3,903,314 in 2022, with gross margins expanding 570 basis points to 38.3% compared to 32.6% in 2022
Net loss improved to $21,384,656 compared to $54,802,666 in 2022
Commented Lorne Rapkin, PlantX CEO, "Fiscal 2023 was a tremendous year for PlantX. We sharpened our focus on driving profitable growth, and this focused approach yielded strong financial performance and positions us for continued success in the years ahead. As we forge ahead, profitability remains a central focus, driving growth, expansion, and success across our diverse business units. We are committed to delivering exceptional experiences within the plant-based industry while continually striving for improvement."
Business Review
In fiscal 2023, PlantX's strategic approach has been to nurture its high-growth business units and make necessary adjustments to those that do not meet stringent growth and margin thresholds. During 2023, PlantX focused on building certain verticals, including, but not limited to, Bloombox Club, XMarket Chicago and Little West. Additionally, by design, the Company's business operates with limited overhead and inventory, thus maximizing margins and, ultimately, net profit.
To further optimize operations, the company made the strategic decision to close two Canadian locations inside the Hudson's Bay (Yorkdale, Toronto, and Rideau, Ottawa) due to insufficient foot traffic. All inventory from these stores was transferred to the Chicago warehouse, making it available for purchase on both PlantX.com and VeganEssentials.com. Additionally, the equipment from these locations was repurposed for the XMarket Uptown store.
XMarket Uptown is currently undergoing construction as the Company embarks on the creation of Chicago's pioneering Vegan Foodhall. With all necessary permits obtained and successful inspections completed, the highly anticipated opening is scheduled around Labor Day. The Vegan Foodhall will showcase six local vegan restaurants, accompanied by a coffee shop run by PlantX's Portfolio Coffee brand, and a fully licensed bar offering an extensive selection of vegan-friendly beverages.
In an effort to enhance efficiency and customer experience, PlantX consolidated XMarket Squamish and the Cloudburst Coffee shop at the Locavore Bar and Grill. This move allowed for the expansion of the lounge area, providing customers with a more inviting space to spend time onsite. As a result, daily sales increased, and the Company gained additional revenue opportunities through hosting private events.
The Company's focused approach on profitability was transformative at BloomBox Club. The team size was reduced from 30 to 4 employees, positioning BloomBox Club on the verge of achieving profitability.
The Company's cold-pressed juice vertical, Little West, experienced continued expansion. Under the leadership of Chris Dodigovic overseeing operations, Little West successfully expanded to Northern California, Nevada, Montana, and structured a deal with Dr. Munsch to bring the juices to the East Coast. The Venice Beach location continued to experience growth and excitement through successful popup initiatives. Notably, TiNDLE extended its three-month popup for an additional three months, further driving customer engagement and sales.
In terms of e-commerce, the Company further strengthened its relationship with KEHE. Leveraging KEHE's inventory, the Company offered consumers case packs of every single plant-based item carried by KEHE, including frozen and refrigerated products. This offering, in addition to the Company's own curated assortment of vegan products shipped from the Chicago warehouse, contributed to increased sales and customer satisfaction. Geo Lopez was promoted to logistics manager at the Chicago warehouse. Geo's expertise in shipping cold products and his ability to source materials at the lowest possible costs played a crucial role in ensuring products reached end customers in optimal condition.
PlantX has recently entered into a share exchange agreement with a newly formed Cayman Islands corporation to secure additional funding and further grow its U.S. operations. Under this agreement, PlantX will exchange a selection of its assets, including wholly owned subsidiaries Vegaste Technologies US Corp., Little West LLC, Plant Based Deli LLC, and PlantX Living Inc., as well as its 53% interest in Portfolio Coffee, Inc. and 51% interest in Eh Coffee Corp. Upon completion of the transaction, it is anticipated that PlantX will own approximately 60% of the issued and outstanding shares of the newly formed corporation, referred to as NewCo, with any adjustments dependent on the NewCo Financing.

PlantX Adds Jack & Annie’s as Ecommerce Fulfillment Partner
Fast-growing jackfruit-based food company now part of the growing PlantX family
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 19, 2023 / PlantX Life Inc. (CSE:VEGA)(Frankfurt:WNT1)(OTC PINK:PLTXF) ("PlantX" or the "Company"), the digital face of the plant-based community, operating a one-stop shop for plant-based products, today announced that it has added Jack & Annie's to its growing roster of brands adopting its ecommerce fulfillment solutions.
Colorado-based Jack & Annie's makes delicious whole-food meat alternatives using jackfruit as the base. One of the most underutilized and sustainable crops, jackfruit has a meaty consistency that results in food with both great flavor and texture, packed with nutrients, protein and fiber. Jack & Annie's lineup of frozen meat alternatives includes crispy tenders, chicken patties, buffalo patties, nuggets, meatballs, buffalo wings, breakfast sausage links, and breakfast sausage patties.
Through the partnership, Jack & Annie's plans to integrate PlantX directly with its product pages, and to direct customers to a dedicated Jack & Annie's storefront on the PlantX website here.
"Jack & Annie's is an inspirational brand and welcome addition to our platform," commented Lorne Rapkin, PlantX CEO. "Not only does Jack & Annie's make some of the most real, best tasting and nutritious plant-based food around, but it is doing this with admirable climate-friendly credentials by harnessing one of the most underutilized crops - jackfruit. Annie Ryu and team offer a lesson in sustainability for us all."
"Jack & Annie's is on a mission to deliver real food with real benefits," commented Jack & Annie's founder and CEO Annie Ryu. "We have chosen jackfruit as our critical first ingredient, and now we have chosen PlantX as one of our key ecommerce fulfillment partners for their unique capabilities to enable a seamless buying experience for our customers."
