2. China Reset:
Bubs has implemented a reset of its operations in China, introducing a multi-channel go-to-market strategy with new leadership and trade partners. The company will focus on areas where it holds a clear competitive advantage, such as goat infant milk formula (IMF) and goat adult milk powder, to capture market opportunities.
3. Portfolio Optimisation:
With its hero goat product segment, Bubs has established itself as a market leader, pioneering the IMF category in both the USA and China. The company's strategic focus will be on premiumization, repositioning bovine IMF products, product rationalization, innovation, and increased investment in core brands.
4. Sweat Existing Assets:
Bubs' state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Deloraine, Victoria, currently operates at approximately 31% capacity. The company aims to enhance shareholder returns by exploring opportunities to boost utilization, such as obtaining State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) registration for China, toll manufacturing, and selective private label partnerships.
5. Working Capital:
Bubs has successfully reduced annual operating expenses by around $10 million. Additionally, the company expects to halve its monthly cash burn from approximately $5 million to $2 million, starting from Q2 FY24. Growth plans are fully funded, and efforts will be made to liquidate excess inventory. Bubs will maintain its marketing investment at 15% of net sales, supporting its growth markets and core brands.
The Strategic Review sets the blueprint for Bubs Australia's future growth and value creation, with targeted plans for each market specific to the company's strengths and growth opportunities. By responsibly managing capital and executing the outlined strategies, Bubs aims to solidify its position as a key player in the global infant and adult formula market.
