SYDNEY, Tuesday 22, August 2023: Anagenics Limited (AN1) today announced the acquisition of Australian professional skincare and beauty retailer, Face MediGroup (FMG), complementing BLC Cosmetics (BLC), its existing B2B-focused subsidiary. The FMG acquisition gives AN1 a holistic omni retail and wholesale distribution network across Australia and New Zealand’s professional beauty market.
The combination of BLC and FMG will drive stronger revenue growth by bringing together both physical and virtual consults as well as a wider range of products:
-
FMG provides accredited skin care products for consumers. It has both a physical presence through its Face Mediskin retail store in Bella Vista and a digital presence through its two digital platforms: facemediskin.com.au and prodermal.com.au. It will use BLC’s existing exclusive brand distribution arrangements to improve margin outcomes for its eCommerce and retail channels.
-
BLC provides an online platform for qualified beauty therapy professionals to access prescribed beauty products from accredited providers. BLC will grow its B2B professional channel, expand its D2C and eCommerce capabilities, while continuing to review future opportunities to expand into physical retail via FMG’s retail arm.
Face Medigroup co-founders, Matt and Sarah Perry, will officially join AN1 to lead the new integrated beauty business and will be aligned through AN1 scrip participation.
The purchase of Face MediGroup places AN1 on a pathway to profitable growth with scale to leverage its refined cost base. The FMG acquisition increases AN1 revenue by 53% on multiple high growth revenue streams, unlocks additional gross margin opportunities and cost efficiencies through reduction of operational costs, IT, supply chain and finance efficiencies.
