BOF BranchOut Food Inc

BranchOut Food Inc. (NASDAQ: BOF), an industry leader in food technology focused on dehydrated fruit and vegetable products, today provided a comprehensive update on its financial performance and operational milestones. The company reported a remarkable 640% increase in net revenue for the first half of 2024, as disclosed in its 10-Q filed on August 14, 2024. Net revenue surged to $2.83 million, up from $440,000 during the same period in 2023, signaling robust momentum for the year ahead. 

Building on this extraordinary growth, BranchOut expects second-half 2024 revenue to outperform the comparable period last year, projecting $5 million in net revenue and positioning the company to close the year with an estimated $8 million in total revenue. The company is also on track to eliminate its outstanding debt by Q4 2025, underpinned by strong financial discipline and operational execution. 

BranchOut’s growth trajectory has been bolstered by the completion of $5.4 million in combined financings in June and July 2024, including a personal investment of $400,000 by CEO and Founder Eric Healy. This capital infusion is set to facilitate the completion of the company’s state-of-the-art production facility in Peru, a transformative development expected to further catalyze growth and profitability. Full details of the financing are available in the company’s recent 8K filings. 

A TRANSFORMATIVE EXPANSION IN PERU “Our new production facility in Peru represents a pivotal moment for BranchOut,” said Eric Healy. “We are preparing to bring online three large-scale continuous dehydration machines and an R&D unit, with production expected to commence in October. This expansion will equip us with approximately $40 million in production capacity, offering a competitive advantage through our GentleDry Technology and Peru’s low operational costs, which will drive both strong margins and profitability.” 

This expanded capacity is expected to unlock additional revenue streams from BranchOut’s robust pipeline of customers, eager for increased supply. “We’re already seeing heightened demand, and with this new facility, we anticipate attracting new customers, setting us up for a stellar 2025,” added Healy. 

DRIVING REVENUE THROUGH KEY PARTNERSHIPS BranchOut’s revenue growth in the second half of 2024 is largely attributed to the fulfillment of about $1.1 million in pineapple chip orders for the nation’s largest warehouse club, along with the launch of three new products, including Brussels Sprout Crisps and Carrot Sticks, at the Nation’s largest retailer. These developments underscore BranchOut’s ability to innovate and meet consumer demand for natural, nutrient-dense snack options. 

LOOKING AHEAD As BranchOut continues to scale, its leadership remains laser-focused on maintaining its trajectory of accelerated growth, with an eye toward long-term financial health. The company’s disciplined approach to capital management, combined with its cutting-edge production capabilities, is expected to further enhance its competitive positioning in the market. By Q4 2025, BranchOut anticipates having fully paid off its outstanding debt, setting the stage for a debt-free, high-margin growth phase.
