"As we entered 2025, we continued reshaping Else Nutrition—implementing strategic changes essential to long-term success," commented Hamutal Yitzhak, CEO & Co-Founder of Else Nutrition. "Despite the lingering headwinds from 2024, we held revenue steady while significantly reducing operating expenses and driving a sharp improvement in gross profit. We are now operating with more discipline, sharper focus, and growing confidence in our direction. We've made tough but necessary decisions to realign our structure and eliminate inefficiencies, allowing us to protect core capabilities and build a more resilient foundation."

"Operationally, a major milestone is our planned shift toward manufacturing powder formulas in Europe. This initiative will allow us to reduce production costs, improve gross margins, and better control inventory and logistics. This geographic diversification is a key part of mitigating supply chain risks, navigating tariffs, and strengthening the reliability of our product delivery. On the commercial front, we reevaluated our retail distribution model and rebalanced it to focus on higher-potential partnerships- supported by a more targeted, data-driven go-to-market approach."

"On the regulatory front, we remain deeply committed to advancing access to plant-based infant nutrition. The launch of Operation Stork Speed and the advancement of the FY2026 Agriculture Appropriations Bill mark pivotal progress in modernizing U.S. policy around infant formula. These efforts support streamlined FDA approval pathways and expanded access to clean-label, non-dairy, non-soy alternatives—needs that have long gone unmet. We are optimistic that this evolving landscape will pave the way for clinical trials of our infant formula and help close a critical gap for families seeking trusted, science-based alternatives."

"The remainder of 2025 will be an important period as we continue to implement the changes necessary to strengthen the business. We are focused on deepening our retail partnerships, expanding our global manufacturing capabilities, and driving growth across our core product categories. We are also exploring select strategic collaborations that align with our mission and can accelerate our path to scale. As we continue executing our transformation, our commitment remains clear: to deliver clean, innovative nutrition solutions to more families around the world while building a stronger, more agile business for the long term."
