Noumi Limited (ASX: NOU)

Quarter ended 30 June 2022 Quarterly Activities and 4C Report:

Noumi Limited (ASX: NOU) (Noumi or the Company), a leading producer of long-life dairy and plant-based beverages and nutritional products, today releases its Appendix 4C Quarterly Cash Flow Report for the quarter ended 30 June 2022 (unaudited) and is pleased to provide the following update on the Company's financial and operating performance.

Q4 FY2022 key features:

  • Trading in the period reflected a slight easing of the effects of COVID-19 in Australia and Asia, which impacted sales in the out-of-home channel and key export markets through much of FY2022.
  • Noumi continues to feel the impact of rising inflation and cost pressures related to or caused by COVID-19 and other external factors, such as international conflict. These include rising domestic and international transport costs, shipping disruptions from the latest COVID-19 outbreak in China and increases in raw material pricing.
  • Total Q4 FY2022 revenue of $135.7m was up $12.4m or 10.1% QoQ.1 Revenue was up 1.3% compared to Q4 FY2021.2
  • Dairy and Nutritionals Q4 FY2022 revenue of $93.1m was up $8.0m or 9.3% QoQ. Revenue was down 0.6% compared to Q4 FY2021.
  • Plant-basedBeverages Q4 revenue of $42.9m was up $5.1m or 13.4% QoQ. Revenue was up 8.1% compared to Q4 FY2021.
  • Operating cash flow for Q4 FY2022 was positive $3.8m, including $1.7m of restructuring-related legal costs. This compares to Q3 FY2022 cash flow of negative $34.2m, which included $26.4m of expenses related to legal disputes. Q4 FY2022 cash flow was favourably impacted by approximately $8m due to the timing of certain June 2022 payments that moved into July 2022.
  • At 30 June 2022, the Company's cash position was $16.2m and undrawn facilities were $19.0m. Combined cash at bank and undrawn facilities of $35.2m provide sufficient liquidity for day-to-day business operations.
  • Noumi expects to announce its FY2022 earnings late August 2022. It anticipates reporting a modest positive adjusted operating EBITDA3 from continuing operations for the 12 months 30 June 2022.
