• Sales of €1.8 million in the 3rd quarter of 2024, bringing sales for the first 9 months of 2024 to €6.5 million, up 7%

Regulatory News:

Vinpai (ISIN: FR001400AXT1; ticker: ALVIN), a specialist in the design, manufacture and marketing of algae- and plant-based functional ingredients for the food and cosmetics industries, today announces its sales for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2024, ending on September 30, 2024.

Philippe Le Ray, CEO and Co-founder, states: “Our third-quarter performance remains impacted by rising prices, which have weighed on consumption, particularly for organic and natural products. However, our teams remain committed to driving a recovery in our commercial momentum by focusing on a targeted strategy involving key, large players, prioritizing a higher-value added ‘product mix,’ and pursuing high-potential export markets, such as India and Southeast Asia. These initiatives are expected to start materializing in the last quarter of the year.”

In the third quarter of 2024, sales totaled €1,793k, down 15% compared to €2,105k in the third quarter of 2023. For the first nine months of 2024, sales increased by 7% to €6,517k. The backlog stood at €3.3 million as of September 30, 2024, a level explained by :

  • the scaling-up of the Company's industrial facilities at the end of 2023, which allowed for a significant acceleration in production pace and faster order fulfillment, with delivery times between 4 to 6 weeks; and
  • normalization resulting from manufacturers’ risk coverage on raw material supplies over the past two years, who are now gradually returning to a just-in-time inventory management policy, reducing the planning horizon for their orders.
