HOUSTON, April 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Guardion Health Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GHSI) (“Guardion” or the “Company”), a clinical nutrition company that offers a portfolio of science-based, clinically-supported products designed to support the health needs of consumers, healthcare professionals and providers and their patients, announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company also provided a corporate update to stockholders.
Financial and other highlights for the year ended December 31, 2022 include the following (all common share and per share amounts shown below have been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-50 reverse stock split effective January 6, 2023):
Bret Scholtes, Guardion’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Over the course of 2022 we diligently worked to build a stronger clinical nutrition company despite a challenging macroenvironment that included external economic pressures, volatile capital markets, a changing consumer marketplace and complex supply chain issues. Compared to our results for 2021, we have increased sales and gross profit, while also reducing major cost categories and streamlining operations. We plan to continue to evaluate our costs in 2023 in order to further improve our operating efficiencies.”
“During 2022, we sought new ways to leverage our brand and increase revenue, which included adhering to our long-standing commitment to establishing clinical validation for our products. We also expanded the Viactiv brand’s product offerings through the launch of our 1,200 mg Omega Boost Gel Bites, which we have demonstrated to significantly increase Omega-3 saturation levels on red blood cells.”
“Our management team and Board of Directors do not believe that the current market valuation of the Company accurately reflects the potential value of the Company, specifically, the clinical nutrition platform and the brand that we are building. Accordingly, in March 2023, we retained Alantra, LLC (“Alantra”) as the Company’s exclusive financial advisor to implement a strategic review to evaluate alternatives to maximize stockholder value in the near-term, which could include, among other alternatives, a sale of the Company or the Viactiv brand, or a merger, acquisition, reverse acquisition, or other strategic transaction.”
“We believe that our cash position, the market position of the Viactiv product line, and our current operating business strategy provide us with a viable platform from which to continue our efforts to grow operations, improve financial performance and maximize stockholder value.”
