Supreme Reports 180% Increase in Profits and 63% Revenue Growth
UK consumer goods manufacturer and supplier Supreme reported a 180% increase in pre-tax profit for the six months ending September 30, reaching £12.3m, and a 63% increase in revenue to £105.1m.

According to Zonebourse, Supreme, a consumer goods manufacturer and supplier based in Manchester, UK, reported on November 28th that the company's pre-tax profit for the six months ending on September 30th was £12.3 million, an increase of 180% compared to £4.4 million last year. The company also recorded a revenue of £105.1 million, a 63% increase from £64.6 million last year.

 

According to the latest report from Supreme PLC, the revenue of its e-cigarette brand division has experienced a significant increase, reaching £30.6 million. This accounts for 86% of the total revenue of the division for the first half of this year, showing a substantial growth compared to last year's £3.4 million. Within this division, ELFBAR has played a major role, contributing £26.4 million in revenue, which equates to 25.1% of the company's total revenue.

 

Supreme emphasized that while it does not manufacture or own ELFBAR, it has signed a distribution agreement with them. The company clearly stated that the introduction of ELFBAR has not had a significant impact on the profit margins in this category. Looking ahead, Supreme stated that the second half of the year has been performing well, with all departments showing a growth trend.

 

The projected revenue for the fiscal year 2024 is expected to be between £210 million and £225 million, showing an improvement from the March forecast of £195 million to £205 million. This represents a growth of at least 61% compared to the £130.8 million revenue generated in the fiscal year 2023.

JUUL Purchasers Ask Ninth Circuit to Preserve Antitrust Classes in Case Over Altria’s $12.8 Billion Investment
JUUL Purchasers Ask Ninth Circuit to Preserve Antitrust Classes in Case Over Altria’s $12.8 Billion Investment
Private antitrust litigation stemming from Altria's 2018 $12.8 billion investment for a 35% economic interest in JUUL is advancing before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Direct purchasers, indirect purchasers and indirect resellers of JUUL products filed answering briefs this week seeking to preserve class certifications granted by a California federal court in February. Altria and JUUL argue that individual consumers and large distributors differ too much in purchasing terms to remain in a single direct-purchaser class, while a separate dispute concerns whether California antitrust law can apply to indirect purchasers across 27 jurisdictions. A September trial has been put on hold during the appeal.
