Continued Strong Sales Revenue Growth

During the Quarter RLG continued to drive product sales in China delivering revenue of $3.9m. contributing to record full year revenue of approximately $9.6m (preliminary and unaudited), which is up 182% on full year revenue for FY2020 of $3.4m.

RLG expects that this strong sales performance will continue into FY2022, supported by the strong balance sheet.

RLG’s revenue mix is increasingly progressing from marketing services fees to scalable product sales, validating its vision of being a platform between global suppliers and Chinese consumers. Initial investment in sales channels is already seeing rapid revenue growth and increased sales efficiency.

Contract Wins and Store Launches in Popular Categories

In the week following the end of the June Quarter, RLG secured two new, exclusive brand distribution rights contracts to market and sell Remedy Drinks International (“Remedy”) and Amie Skincare (“Amie”) products in China.

Remedy is Australia’s # 1 kombucha brand. RLG’s distribution agreement with Remedy, which is subject to sales and performance milestones, has a minimum revenue target of $5m over a three-year period.

Amie is a skincare brand of RLG partner SLG Brands (www.slgbrands.com), a U.K. beauty and wellness company. Based on the performance of RLG in marketing and selling SLG Brands’ COLAB Dry Shampoo, SLG Brands appointed RLG to exclusively market and sell Amie in China. The appointment by SLG to partner with another of its brands is a testament to the success achieved with COLAB and the strength of the working relationship.

These continued contract wins, strengthen RLG’s cross-border product offering to Chinese consumers.
