Our proprietary line of nutraceuticals and food supplements, Sky Premium Life, continues to expand and we now have over 70 SKUs. We expect to reach 150 SKUs by the end of 2021 and believe the recent as well as upcoming additions to our portfolio will become major drivers of our growth going forward. In addition to introducing new high margin pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and food supplement products, we have built a robust distribution network, which now includes relationships with over 160 wholesale pharmaceutical distributors across Europe’s largest markets, having access to over 40,000 pharmacies. In addition, we plan to expand to new global markets later this year.”

“Overall, we have built a highly scalable business model and look forward to further enhancing profitability and cash flow as we leverage our fixed cost infrastructure and gain economies of scale. We have invested in and now operate 3 state-of-the-art warehouses with advanced automation technology that substantially expands our current capacity and throughput to support our planned growth. We remain highly encouraged by the outlook for the business and look forward to providing further updates as developments unfold.”
