Management Commentary
The Board is highly encouraged by the strong start to 2026, marked by the successful resolution of prior supply constraints and the return of Pulsin to normal production and distribution. Early indications show a meaningful improvement in order flow, with retail partners increasing restocking activity across key territories.
The Group continues to build commercial momentum through targeted brand investment and strategic partnerships. OAF's presence at the Allergy & Free From Show is expected to generate new trade opportunities, while reinforcing its position in one of the fastest-growing segments of the UK food market.
International expansion remains a core pillar of Tooru's growth strategy. The Swiss distribution agreement represents a further step in scaling Pulsin's European footprint, with additional markets under active discussion. The Board believes the Group is well positioned to leverage increasing demand for plant-based and functional nutrition products across Europe.
The new listing secured with Virgin Atlantic is a significant commercial milestone for the Purely Plantain brand. This partnership provides access to a high-value international customer base and is expected to enhance both revenue visibility and brand recognition globally.
Operationally, the establishment of the Company's new London headquarters enhances infrastructure to support scale, improves operational coordination, and reflects the Group's continued progression as a public company.
Overall, the Board believes the Company is entering a period of sustained growth, underpinned by improved supply chain stability, expanding distribution channels, and increasing brand traction. The outlook for the remainder of 2026 remains positive.
