"We delivered record net income in the second quarter as we continued to execute well against key initiatives to transform our business and drive growth and profitability," said Michael Roper, Chief Executive Officer of Sadot Group. "Our goal is to continue to seek to expand the scope and capabilities of our platform and to remain well positioned for significant growth in the nearly $2 trillion global agri-commodities market. I am extremely proud of our results, underscoring our resilience and commitment to operational excellence and our strategic vision."
Strategic and Operational Highlights
Completed 21 transactions of over 525,000 metric tons of agri-commodities throughout eight different countries during the second quarter.
Shipped 2,500 metric tons to date of maize and over 690 metric tons of soya from the Company's farming operations in Zambia during the second quarter.
Established Sadot Canada, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sadot LLC based in Toronto, Canada, in the second quarter. Canadian operations are led by David Hanna as Executive Vice President/General Manager and Jaime Rueda as Vice President/Head of Feed Ingredients. Both executives bring extensive experience and deep knowledge of the agri-commodity markets, making them invaluable additions to the Company. Their combined leadership will be instrumental in advancing Sadot's global growth agenda by guiding the team in facilitating trade flows to and from North America, Africa, the Black Sea, Indonesia, and Brazil.
Finalized the sale of Superfit Foods, the first of three legacy restaurant concepts the Company is in the process of divesting. Sadot is currently in discussions with potential buyers for the remaining restaurant assets, including Pokémoto and Muscle Maker Grill. Sadot will continue to expect that the divestiture of these non-core assets will drive operational savings and simplification along with ensuring that the Company's resources are firmly aligned around the highest potential opportunities in the agri-commodities market.
