VANCOUVER BC, Feb. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Vejii Holdings Ltd. (CSE: VEJI) (OTC: VEJIF) (the "Company'' or "Vejii"), a North American online marketplace for plant-based and sustainable products announced today that it had record unaudited consolidated revenues of approximately $513K in January of 2022, which represents an achievement of 1,158% growth compared to the same period last year.
After the commencement of commercial sales on Nov 19, 2020, and in just over 1 year, Vejii has built out its marketplace to offer more than 3,500 products from over 500 brands in the CPG space. The Company has bolted on two strategic acquisitions of Veg Essentials LLC (VeganEssentials.com) and its newly acquired B2B division, VEDGEco USA Inc (VEDGEco.com). Today, the combined Company has six points of distribution in North America and plans to add more in key strategic locations. In January 2022, Vejii saw total unaudited consolidated revenues of approximately $513K with a gross profit of approximately $189K representing a 37% gross margin. This represents approximately 1,158% growth over 2021 revenues for the same period. January 2022 marks the highest revenue achieved by the Company in any single month of reporting since inception.
"We believe the continued revenue growth shows the synergies of our M&A strategy and the growth of our organic business. Vejii's platform offers brands the ability to go direct-to-consumer at a time when speed to market is key for brands, using Vejii Fulfillment Services. We allow brands to list on our marketplace, with Vejii providing pick, pack, and shipping directly to consumers. This service lets brands get their products to market quickly and allows Vejii to continue expanding its product offering while maintaining its capital-light model. Expanded product selection and direct delivery on B2B and B2C are leading our growth" commented Darren Gill, President & COO of Vejii.
"We have been able to achieve tremendous growth in 14 short months since launching. We have continued to expand our footprint, customer base, and brand partnerships. We have gained a lot of traction within the industry, having onboarded hundreds of brands from innovative start-ups to multinational organizations. I am confident that with a continued focus on execution and increased brand awareness, our metrics will continue to improve" said Kory Zelickson, CEO of Vejii.
