What management said
Commenting on the results Bubs CEO Kristy Carr said:
Bubs has largely put the disruption and challenges of COVID-19 behind us, delivering a turnaround to high growth during the quarter as we revamped our business strategy in response to the rapidly changing market dynamics.
Importantly, there continues to be strong consumer demand for Bubs' quality nutritional products in all key markets with solid performance across our core business segments…
Our global expansion strategy continues to advance with business entities and representation now established in New Zealand, China and North America… The first shipment of Aussie Bubs' products arrived in the USA during the quarter and Bubs is now an official Walmart vendor, with the first online sales expected to be realised in October 2021.
Bubs share price could also be getting a boost from the fairly positive outlook the company provided.
Looking ahead, Bubs executive chair Dennis Lin added:
We are investing in our manufacturing capabilities at our facility in Victoria and have extended the Bubs family to have local representation in New Zealand, China and North America, as we continue to diversify our business model.
Having recovered the ground lost due to COVID-19 disruption, we expect to be able to sustain continued growth momentum, to the extent our go forward approach does not depend on a material improvement in the pandemic setting.
