BFYW Premium Coffee Sales Outpace Skincare 11 to 1

Coffee Division Is Now The Company's Primary Revenue Source

COLUMBUS, Ohio - March 25, 2023 - Better For You Wellness, Inc. (OTC Pink: BFYW) ("BFYW" or the "Company"), a trailblazing Ohio-based wellness enterprise focusing on plant-based solutions and scientific advancements in the thriving $1.5 trillion wellness sector, proudly announces a significant milestone: its premium coffee brand, Stephen James Curated Coffee Collection ("SJCCC"), has emerged as the primary revenue stream, surpassing skincare revenues by a remarkable margin.

Following a thorough operations review, BFYW has identified its premium coffee division as the primary driver of revenue growth, marking a strategic shift from skincare to premium coffee. The Company foresees premium coffee continuing to lead as a substantial revenue generator. This shift also necessitates a change in SIC Code from 2844 (Perfumes, Cosmetics, and Other Toilet Preparations) to 5149 (Groceries and Related Products, Not Elsewhere Classified).

In anticipation of the upcoming Annual Report on 10-K, an analysis of last quarter's net sales for both categories revealed an impressive revenue ratio of over 11 to 1 for coffee compared to skincare in Q4 FY24. Notably, coffee net sales for the quarter exceeded the cumulative totals of BFYW's Q2 - Q4 Skincare line.

Chairman and CEO Ian James said, "With Americans consuming 400 million cups of coffee daily, it's evident that coffee enjoys wider consumption than skincare. Therefore, the ascendancy of our premium coffee line, Stephen James Curated Coffee Collection, as BFYW's primary revenue source is no surprise. We realized long ago that premium coffee would be a key revenue driver as we developed our Growth Initiative, and the numbers bear that out."

BFYW's Growth Initiative elevates its premium coffee brand, SJCCC, to new heights. Coffee, the world's second-most-consumed beverage, is at the forefront of this strategic plan. Leveraging the Company's solid retail partnership with Kroger, where SJCCC is a top-selling premium coffee with a loyal consumer base, further reinforces this initiative's potential for success.

Regarding the BFYW Growth Initiative, the Company has recently announced:

Competitive Market Analysis and Forecast

BFYW conducted a comprehensive competitive market analysis, examining ten key publicly traded coffee companies. This analysis highlights insights into TTM Revenue and Market Cap. We believe the results underscore the substantial growth potential awaiting investors in BFYW Stock. Estimates show that after $4M in funding, the Company could expand into 250 stores in 2024 and double the number of doors served year-over-year for the next four years until the coffee brand is in nearly 4,000 stores. Post funding, annual revenue in Year One is projected to be $1M+, $8M+ in Year Two, $23M+ in Year Three, $39M+ in Year Four, and $59M+ in Year Five, with sustained profitability in Year Two. BFYW projects the Market Cap to be 1.97X Price-to-Sale. Please see BFYW's February 26, 2024, 8-K and exhibit.

Capital Raise

The Company launched a campaign to raise $4M through a Five-year Term Note at 18% following a monthslong financial analysis of SJCCC's expansion into Kroger and other grocers, hotels, resorts, and boutiques. The Company wants to provide prospective investors flexibility and optionality and could offer conversion levels to equity, warrants, etc.

$351K+ Debt Reduction Action

BFYW successfully initiated a Debt Reduction Action, sanctioned unanimously by the Board of Directors as part of the Growth Initiative. The Debt Reduction initiative eliminated $351,983.05 in liabilities, equal to 13%+ of the Company's total liabilities, from BFYW's balance sheet.
