This was the forecast I meant to post earlier
Based on reports surrounding the proposed acquisition of S-Ventures assets by RiverFort Global Opportunities (RGO), the combined portfolio including Juvela and Pulsin is projected to grow significantly by 2026.
Key Projected Sales and Financials (2026E)
Total Portfolio Sales: The combined portfolio (Juvela, Pulsin, and Market Rocket) is forecasted to grow from £14.3m in FY24E to over £20m in FY26E.
EBITDA Projection: The portfolio's EBITDA is expected to rise to approximately £2.8m - £3m by 2026.
Juvela Projections: Retail sales for Juvela are expected to reach £12m by FY26E, driven by the launch of new free-from products.
Pulsin Projections: Pulsin is expected to achieve double-digit growth, supported by expansion into Europe.
Growth Drivers
Retail Expansion: Juvela has secured listings with a second major UK retailer, with products expected to be available by Easter 2026, following successful growth in Tesco.
Market Position: Both brands operate in the growing health and wellness sector, focusing on gluten-free (Juvela) and protein-based products (Pulsin).
Restructuring: Following a restructuring, Pulsin generated £0.8m EBITDA in the first half of 2024, contributing to the positive outlook.
The portfolio is valued at approximately £31m, representing a 1.5x 2026E EV/Sales multiple.
