Upexi Announces Record Quarter-to-Date Retail and

DTC Gross Revenue of Approximately $19 Million Gross and $17 Million net of Discontinued Operations

 

Record revenue to date for the current quarter driven by consumer demand across all product categories, including Tytan Tiles’ toys and electronics

 

Clearwater, FL / December 14, 2022 / Upexi Inc. (NASDAQ: UPXI) (the “Company” or “Upexi”), a multi-faceted brand owner and innovator in aggregation, today announced record net revenue of approximately $17 million through November 30th, the Company’s fiscal 2023 second quarter, which ends December 31, 2022.

 

Gross revenue thus far in the current quarter is attributable to strong consumer demand across each of the Company’s product vertical markets including; health, wellness, pets, toys and discount electronics. Sales across all channels, including retail and direct-to-consumer, saw flat to positive growth in volume amidst a slowing consumer demand environment. This overall positive trend was particularly driven by the Company’s toy brand, Tytan Tiles, and strong initial results from our E-Core acquisition.

The diverse nature of our brands and products within key industry verticals helps the Company navigate through and stabilize among volatile consumer market trends. Our revenue thus far in combination with a robust pipeline of new products and acquisitions firmly position us to achieve the $100 million dollar revenue projected for 2023.”
