COMMENTS FROM DAG BERGHEIM PETTERSEN, CEO:
Our mantra is growth and increased profitability :
“Growth during the first quarter amounted to 44% and we have a better profitability than ever before. We are ahead of our forecast of 25% growth and our cost of sales are decreasing, resulting in increased gross profit margins. This is something we have in our plan and that every day we work hard to achieve.
We have acquired additional shares in Faun Pharma AS, so that we now own 98.8%. With almost full control of the company we are now making investments in new products, production capacity, equipment and organisation. The results from this we expect to see over the next six months as we launch new product concepts. We are confident that this launch will help us achieve our ambitious growth targets with an average sales growth of 25% over the next three years with improved profitability every year.
In order to maintain growth, we will also be entering two new markets in 2015 - Germany and Canada. Two big markets that we believe will give us many new customers and distributors, and through that a growth in sales. Both establishments will happen in a resource efficient manner through the contributions of existing organisations in Sweden and the USA.
This means that we can absorb the establishment costs within the framework of our regular operating costs. Our business model for the establishment of new markets is extremely efficient and ensures profitability early in the new markets.
We launched a new product line in health almost 3 years ago when we entered into a collaboration with the Norwegian research company BioActive Foods AS. We then acquired BioActive Foods AS later at the end of last year. It has proven to be a successful move and we are now working on large scale product development for the next few years. We are convinced that this will result in even more loyal customers and as with the factors above, contribute to us achieving our ambitious growth targets.
We will protect and look after our customers. Customer loyalty and customer satisfaction is something we measure carefully and strive for. In order to take care of our customers in the best way we have recruited many skilled employees to our efficient support department and the rest of the organisation. We have invested a lot in a healthy and pleasant internal culture and work environment that we believe will spread to our customers. In addition to this, we will launch our own Zinzino app that will further contribute to customer satisfaction and loyalty.
We currently sell a self-test that measures the ratio in the blood between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. We have at the time of writing, analysed over 95,000 tests. In this way, we have a clear picture of the health status of our customers in the various markets where we operate. It is incredibly stimulating to work with a product line that can contribute to improved health among our customers, distributors, employees, family and friends. We aim to have one million customers by 2020. With our existing and future products, we believe we have the perfect tools to reach that goal.
Zinzino celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2015, which we are celebrating with campaigns and new product launches of health and dietary supplements while at the same time we establish ourselves in new markets. Zinzino will inspire change in people's lifestyles.
