The Quarterly and the year-to-date revenue results (+39% up from Q3FY21 and +22% up from prior Quarter and already 33% up on full FY2021) have been achieved despite supply chain delays globally, including in China, which has impacted servicing product demand in market, while demand remains strong and is expected to grow.

As part of its strategy articulated to the market, RLG has continued to apply focus on its technology, business development, marketing and product selection through FY2022 which has driven the growth in product sales revenue achieved so far this year and has built out and continues to launch additional directto-consumer online stores.

RLG has determined products in demand with consumers and the preferred platforms for engagement with online shoppers, leading to the development and launch of new stores on popular online sales platforms in China including TikTok/Douyin[1] and Pinduoduo[2] in addition to Alibaba’s Tmall environments.

The RLG TikTok Store, which was developed during the quarter and officially launched subsequent to quarter end, is designed to market and sell cross-border international products using short video content, advertisements and live-streaming campaigns to promote products from brands including Dior, Lancôme, Givenchy, Kiehl’s, Estee Lauder, YSL, Clinique, SK-II and Fresh in concert with RLG’s cosmetics partner brands, Colabs, Nuria and others, to Bytedance’s 600 million shopper community in China[1] .
