| but our other brands have higher margins and our strictly at this point direct-to-consumer with great opportunity |
| Consolidation will not slow the increase for our growth initiatives as we are investing in and we anticipate this will lead to increased gross margins and overall cash flow in the coming quarters |
| The enhanced efficiencies across the business channels bolstered our margins and cash flow sequentially with my expectation that this trending will continue in the quarters to come |
| While revenues for the most recent fiscal second quarter decreased sequentially, the operating measures we took allowed us to increase gross profit margins to 38% as compared to the prior fiscal first quarter of 31.8% |
| The strategic investment is measured carefully every month and thus far has increased our gross margins and recurring revenue |
| Successful data will help increase sales significantly in a very large sticky and recurring segment of the health and wellness industry |
| The margin there is great, the opportunity's great |
| The company's in a very good position to increase the overall profitability due to several reasons, our consolidation of operations, the reduction of $2 million G&A |
| The higher gross margin businesses will post -- will push our gross margins even higher this year |
| This growth and increase as a percentage of sales helped drive gross margins higher sequentially |
| I'd like to reiterate my confidence in our ability to drive long-term growth, innovation and value creation |
| During the fiscal second quarter and into our current quarter we're in, we have seen promising financial benefits on the strategy |
| We also generated positive adjusted EBITDA although the revenue quarter-over-quarter was down |
| We remain committed to further expanding and enhancing our brand businesses and re-commerce segments while capitalizing on new growth opportunities and reaching higher EBITDA and cash flow positive results this year |
| And regardless of market conditions or external factors, myself and our team intend to reach those higher EBITDA and cash flow positive results in the next second several quarters |
| management believes that this strategy will yield significant returns in the next 12 months |
| Management anticipates its advertising expense will be reduced over time as a percentage of sales in the following quarters, which will increase overall profitability |
| brand product sales during the quarter increased 16.7% sequentially to $7.7 million as compared to $6.6 million, led by the health and beauty product categories |
| Allan Marshall I mean we've seen good opportunities on much, even large deals we just have really decided to focus more on this brand business today |
| the gross margin during the quarter increased sequentially to 38%, as compared to 31.8% |
| we're going to go -- we're going to continue, we're going to go better from all aspects, right like Tytan is born out of -- first starting, in DTC or -- and then really evolved into brick and mortar |
| during the second half of 2023, we focused on optimizing and streamlining our operations, investing in our higher-margin brand products and generating positive adjusted EBITDA |
| brand product sales during the second quarter increased 16.7% sequentially to $7.7 million, as compared to prior quarter of $6.6 million |
| While we have maintained our marketing budget as a percentage of revenue, subscription revenue across health and wellness grew approximately 5% month-over-month |
| with capital constraints, we are prioritizing investments in our brand products businesses, which carries a higher margin profile through subscription revenue, opportunity and capturing a higher lifetime value of the consumer |
| So, I want to thank everyone for joining our call and I hope everyone has a great evening |
| And also, the capital constraints still kind of lead to just us pushing for higher margin on those deals and the reinvestment in the brands is really where it's going to drive overall growth |
| great |
| So that was up 16.7% |
| The business is navigating challenging market conditions and being carefully managed quarter-over-quarter to achieve higher profitability while an emphasis on the high-margin recurring revenue brand businesses |

| Some of it was what we talked about at the end of the last quarter, just kind of making sure, one of the concerns was that whole overall gross margin dropping |
| The decrease in revenue was primarily due to lower re-commerce revenue through both Amazon channels and wholesale |
| So, you pointed to the softness in the quarter, certain wholesale transactions not being completed |
| the revenue decreased sequentially was predominantly related to the calculated decision to reduce the risk of purchasing excess inventory in our re-commerce business and investing in our higher-margin brand business |
| So, I think that this quarter, we just didn't see the opportunities that would have met the margin we were looking for |
| But I think about the re-commerce business today and that gross margin hurdle you spoke to, is it that the hurdle's been raised or the hurdle's the same and it's harder to find those opportunities out there |
| The company had net loss from continued operations for fiscal second quarter 2024 of $2.4 million, as compared to net income of $2.7 million for the same period in the previous year, a net loss of $1.4 million in the first fiscal quarter 2024 |
| Sales and marketing expense for the fiscal second quarter 2024 decreased 18%, compared to the same period in the previous year and was approximately $160,000 lower than the first quarter ended September 30th, 2023 on higher branded product revenue |
| Cost of revenue for the fiscal second quarter 2024 totaled $13.6 million, a decrease as compared to the $16.7 million for the same period in the previous year and $18.6 million for the fiscal first quarter 2024 |
| General and administrative expenses for the fiscal second quarter 2024 totaled $2.3 million, a decrease of 9%, as compared to $2.5 million for the same period in the previous year |
| Actual results may differ materially due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors |
| This will reduce our overall cost structure and not slow the growth of the brands or the growth of the profitability |
| Was it more a matter of pricing? Was it some last-minute changes? Because I certainly can understand and appreciate the focus on margin, but looks like inventory did build again in the quarter, so was the pricing just to where it was, it would be even like potentially solo of a margin |
