May 4, 2023 [crocon media – msteph] – Kraft Heinz has reported a solid financial performance for Q1 2023, with net sales of $6.5 billion, an increase of 7.3% compared to the same period last year. The organic net sales grew by 9.4%, driven by growth in Foodservice, Emerging Markets, and U.S. Retail GROW platforms. The company has reported a net income of $837 million, an increase of 7.1% YoY. The increase in net income was primarily driven by higher adjusted EBITDA and lapping non-cash impairment losses in the prior year period. The company’s adjusted EBITDA increased by 10.3% YoY to $1.5 billion. Diluted EPS was $0.68, up 7.9% compared to the prior year period.
Kraft Heinz has reaffirmed its 2023 Organic Net Sales growth expectation of 4% to 6% compared to 2022. The company has raised its 2023 Constant Currency Adjusted EBITDA guidance to growth of 4% to 6% compared to 2022. The company has also raised its 2023 Adjusted EPS guidance to be in the range of $2.83 to $2.91, which includes a negative impact of approximately $0.04 from expected unfavorable changes in non-cash pension and post-retirement benefits and a currency headwind of approximately $0.02 at current foreign exchange rates.
Kraft Heinz’s Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share of common stock payable on June 30, 2023, to stockholders of record as of June 6, 2023.
Overall, the company’s strong Q1 2023 results and raised guidance suggest that it is well positioned to deliver growth and create value for its shareholders.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – March 25, 2023 – Neptune Digital Assets Corp. (TSX-V:NDA) (OTC:NPPTF) (FSE:1NW) (“Neptune” or the “Company“), one of the first publicly traded blockchain companies in Canada, is pleased to announce that it has released its August 31, 2022 annual audited consolidated financial statements and management, discussion and analysis.
Below are a number of financial highlights pertaining to the August 31, 2022 year-end and for the period subsequent to year-end and up to the date of this news release.
Neptune ended the year on August 31, 2022 with $36.0 million in assets and no debt.
Neptune earned total revenues and other income of $7,405,529 through Bitcoin mining, staking, DeFi and other income-generating activities during the year.
Of the $18.9 million dollar net comprehensive loss for the year ended August 31, 2022, $16.3 million is related to a decrease in the fair values and impairments of underlying cryptocurrency assets and investments held and another $7.17 million related to a write-down in the value of mining rigs to fair market value.
Neptune mined $1,468,243 worth of Bitcoin up to August 31, 2022. As of the date of this release, Neptune had a total balance of 235 Bitcoin in cold storage and an additional 64 Bitcoin under chapter 11 claims with Genesis and Celsius, the outcome of those claims is currently unknown. Neptune currently does not sell its Bitcoin and all Bitcoin is now stored in cold storage.
Neptune’s two largest digital asset holdings as of the date of this release are 235 BTC and 174,000 ATOM. The Company also holds positions in ETH, FTM, wMemo, DASH, Lif3, Tomb and a number of other tokens, as well as an investment in SpaceX valued at approximately $2 million USD.
Neptune has also started to slowly increase its holdings of artificial intelligence (AI) cryptocurrency assets, namely Graph (GRT) and OCEAN tokens.
Current cash balance is $12 million held with a tier 1 Canadian bank and another $4 million USD under Chapter 11 claim with Genesis Lending with the outcome currently unknown
“In spite of much of 2022 being a devastating year for most companies in the Bitcoin mining and crypto currency space, Neptune managed to grow our income substantially over the prior year. Much of our loss on the income statement relates to unrealized losses and changes in fair value of the underlying assets, fortunately when times are good those values will rise again” stated Cale Moodie, Neptune CEO. “We were very disappointed by the late filing of the financial statements, however industry changes and late-stage adjustments made the delays unavoidable. We hope to avoid this in the future and appreciate our shareholders patience through the last few months of financial reporting struggles. We are optimistic about 2023 and our focus in this volatile market will be to continue to grow cryptocurrency revenues and enhance our balance sheet. Even though the past year has been difficult for cryptocurrency, in addition to most asset classes and the overall global economy, we are more optimistic than ever of the long-term value of the cryptocurrency industry and Neptune.”
