Management Commentary

"For three quarters in a row we have delivered year-over-year growth," stated Bloomios CEO, Michael Hill. "We also remain focused on expense reductions through consolidation and increasing efficiencies with our expanded manufacturing capabilities.

"We continued the relocation of the portfolio of equipment, systems and operations that we acquired last fall, and we were able to maintain our cGMP certification in our Daytona Beach facility after the recently acquired equipment was installed and operational.

"As we optimize operations from the full integration of Infusionz, we expect gross margins to improve in future quarters. We are excited for the remainder of 2023 as we look to expand our product offering and accelerate our growth trajectory."

Q2 2023 Financial Summary

Revenue totaled $2.7 million, up 111% from $1.3 million in the year-ago quarter.

Gross profit totaled $825,000, or 30.9% of revenue, as compared to $1.3 million, or 59.3% of revenue, in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in gross margin percentage was primarily due to an increse in the cost of goods sold related to the integration of the acquisition of Infusionz, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Upexi in October 2022.

Operating expenses totaled $2.2 million compared to $1.6 million in the year-ago quarter, with the increase primarily due to a temporary increase in salary and rent costs associated with the acquisition of Infusionz.

Net loss totaled $2.3 million compared to a net loss of $1.2 million in the year-ago quarter. Net loss in Q2 2023 included interest expense of $921,000 compared to $168,000 in interest expense in the year-ago quarter.

Current assets totaled $1.8 million as of June 30, 2023, compared to $2.4 million as of December 31, 2022.
