April 13, 2021 — (Vancouver, BC) good natured Products Inc. (the “Company” or “good natured®”) (TSX-V: GDNP), a North American leader in earth-friendly plant-based products, today announced preliminary revenue and gross margin estimates for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2021 (“Q1 2021”).
Reported revenue for Q1 2021 is expected to be approximately $8.0 million, an increase of approximately 160%, compared to $3.05 million for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020.

“Our strong revenue growth performance was driven by our strategic acquisitions completed in 2020, Shepherd Thermoforming and IPF, while gross margin benefitted from product and customer revenue mix for the quarter,” stated Paul Antoniadis, CEO of good natured®. “Despite disruptions in key markets from COVID-19 variants and extreme weather-related events in the southern US, our team and partners executed extremely well. We remain very optimistic on our organic growth prospects and acquisition opportunities.”
