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.

GSTHR Estimates 200 Million People Use Non-Combustible Nicotine Products as 28 Countries Show Rising Use Alongside Falling Smoking Rates
The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction, a project operated by Knowledge·Action·Change, estimates that about 200 million people worldwide use non-combustible nicotine products including vapes, heated tobacco, nicotine pouches and snus. Its 2026 report says use of these products rose alongside declining smoking rates in 28 countries it analyzed. The data do not establish that all 200 million users have quit smoking, nor do they prove a direct causal relationship. GSTHR also says regulatory restrictions on the products continue to expand in many markets.
