Bubs Australia said net loss attributable to members for FY24 decreased 80%, settling at $21.3 million, down from FY23’s $108.4 million.

The company reported a 33% rise in revenue from ordinary activities, totalling $79.7 million, in contrast to last year’s $60.1 million.

Chairperson Katrina Rathie stated, "Bubs' performance this year demonstrates our strong strategic direction and growth in key markets, especially the USA and China, which has inspired optimism for future improvements."

A revenue driver was the USA market, delivering $35 million, reflecting a 46% increase year-on-year.

Similarly, China's market showed a robust performance with $17.3 million in revenue, marking a 27% hike compared to FY23.

The report also highlighted Bubs' success in Australia as the fastest-growing premium brand in the infant formula category, achieving $21.6 million in revenue, a 24% rise from the previous year.

The company's improved inventory management and focused strategies underpinned a gross profit margin increase of 49%.

Despite revenue growth, Bubs’ ability to sustain its operations remains under observation.

The directors have expressed a cautious outlook, acknowledging material uncertainties regarding the United States Food and Drug Administration approval and ongoing litigation costs.
