In 2021, the plant-based food market was worth an impressive US$7 billion, up 27 percent year over year and is expected to hit US$10.7 billion by 2027. We’ve also seen the rise of several new players in the industry since Beyond Meat’s (NASDAQ: BYND) IPO in 2019. Among these new companies is the Tattooed Chef (NASDAQ:TTCF) while more established food companies, like the Kellogg Company (NYSE:K) or Hormel Food (NYSE:HRL), have opted to create sub-brands that focus on plant-based products.

In Canada, the plant-based food industry is growing — sales of plant-based cheese alone in 2020 was valued at approximately US$12.1 million and is expected to reach US$23.9 million by 2026. To date, Canada has invested up to C$173 million in the Protein Industries through the country’s SuperCluster Initiative. This project aims to increase the value of key crops and serve growing markets in North America, Asia and Europe for plant-based or new food products. With the growing plant-based food industry in Canada supported by government funding, the opportunities for investors are bountiful.

Komo aims to take advantage of several prevailing consumer trends, including the blossoming plant-based revolution, the rise of the clean label consumer, and the reemergence of frozen foods. The company is working to make plant-based meals a staple on every dinner table through a strategy that focuses on making premium frozen meals a more accessible and flavorful experience through its innovative product catalog featuring meals/entrees, meal helpers, and sweets.

Komo Plant-Based Foods has a number of frozen comfort food products, including its shepherd’s pies, pot pies, and lasagna. Furthermore, the company has made several advances with respect to its means of revenue and distribution. On January 11, 2022 Komo teamed up with BRR Logistics, one of Canada’s largest frozen foods distributors, allowing them to source all of Komo’s frozen plant-based products in retail groups in Ontario and Quebec. This is supplemental to Komo Plant-Based Foods’ already impressive e-commerce revenue sources, its own website and Shopify, and through hot meal delivery apps including Uber Eats (NYSE:UBER) and Skip the Dishes, owned by Just Eats (NYSE:TKWY).

Komo Plant-Based Foods’ serving sizes give its customers the ability to share food with others in a convenient yet affordable package. The company also has access to three streams of revenue, namely retail distribution, e-commerce and hot meal delivery apps, making the company highly accessible to a wide variety of consumers. They currently have 120 distribution points across Canada, with plans to reach 550 by July 31, 2022. Recently, the company announced that its plant-based food products have become available for purchase in the United States.

The company’s leadership team has significant experience in the plant-based foods category. Komo Plant-Based Comfort Food CEO Jeffrey Ma has led innovation projects in plant-based nutrition and has extensive experience working for big brands, including Daiya Foods, VEGA and more. Meanwhile, Senior Director, Operations & Food Safety Adya Djoko has over 13 years of direct experience in the food industry. Director of Culinary Development Frédéric Gagné has worked as a plant-based chef for over 20 years.

The meals and entrees product line are designed to provide classic, hearty meals to vegans. It consists of filling, satisfying, favourites that appeal to a wide variety of demographics. Full entrees typically provide four-six servings, are designed for sharing and come in a ready-to-bake format.

The lasagna product offers vegans, and people aiming to reduce their meat consumption. a meat-free alternative. It consists of layers of semolina pasta, tomato lentil ragu, a chickpea béchamel sauce and a tofu ricotta-style spread. Available in both two-serving and five-six serving variations, the lasagna product is set to win the hearts of pasta lovers.

The shepherd’s pie is another attractive option for people looking for a tasty, meat alternative for dinner. The product consists of Yukon gold garlic mash, mushroom onion gravy, Canadian green lentils, and a veggie medley.

Meal helpers provide all the components a chef needs to simplify the plant-based cooking experience. This includes hearty classics, crowd favourites, and the staples required to add an infusion of flavour to any meal. Popular meal helpers include the bolognese sauce and taco filling.

The sweets product line is designed to provide vegans with access to classic dessert options. This category offers a variety of satisfying, indulgent, and comforting choices. Currently, the company offers vegan double chocolate oatmeal cookies within the sweets category.

The Company recorded over $100k in revenue for the month of February alone, which overshoots the Company's previous all-time high in December of 2021 by 46%

Komo Plant Based Foods Inc. (CSE:YUM)(OTCQB:KOMOF)(FRA:9HB) ("Komo" or the "Company") a premium plant-based food company, is pleased to announce that it's February revenue catapulted to over $100k, a full 46% increase over Komo's previous best month of sales in December 2021

"We are extremely proud of the momentum that the brand is gaining, and we have been focused not only on driving immediate sales, but also on laying the foundation for sustainable growth by strategic expansion of our distribution network, and customer-centric new product development," said William White, CEO of Komo. "We have an aggressive expansion strategy that we are implementing for the U.S. retail market, while also continuing to expand our distribution throughout Canada."

Since shipping its first pallet to the Quebec and Ontario markets at the beginning of this year, the brand is now available for sale throughout Quebec and Ontario in 40 locations, with agreements signed for 60 additional distribution points. This includes mainstream grocery stores such as Metro in Quebec, Sobey's franchises such as Foodland in Ontario, and specialty natural food retailers throughout Ontario including Ambrosia and Fiesta Farms.

Komo also delivered its first order to GTFO It's Vegan, a major plant-based eCommerce platform that is bringing Komo's products to consumers across the U.S.

"Just one year ago, we launched in our home market of Vancouver, and now we are serving customers across North America," added White. "Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, and their feedback is an essential component of our product development process. This focus on the customer has paid off, and in less than one year, we have received over 200 verified five-star buyer reviews online."

The Company's gross profit margin was at 35% during the most recently reported quarter ended October 31, 2021. The Company anticipates its gross margin to decrease slightly, but remain healthy as the Company focuses more resources on expansion efforts through wholesale channels, which deliver lower margins, but enable the company to earn greater market share and achieve other economies of scale.

CLASS PERIOD: APRIL 30, 2021 through AUGUST 31, 2021

CONTACT AN ATTORNEY TO DISCUSS YOUR RIGHTS:

James Maro, Esq. (484) 270-1453 or Email at info@ktmc.com

Kessler Topaz is one of the world's foremost advocates in protecting the public against corporate fraud and other wrongdoing. Our securities fraud litigators are regularly recognized as leaders in the field individually and our firm is both feared and respected among the defense bar and the insurance bar. We are proud to have recovered billions of dollars for our clients and the classes of shareholders we represent.

AbbVie is one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. The company's revenues will come under significant pressure in the coming years when its best-selling drug, Humira, will lose patent protection in 2023. Accordingly, AbbVie's future revenue and earnings depend in large part on its ability to develop new sources of revenue to offset Humira's lost sales. Rinvoq-an anti-inflammatory drug manufactured by AbbVie and used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other diseases by inhibiting Janus kinase (JAK) enzymes-was touted as one such drug. Rinvoq was initially approved in the United States to treat only moderate to severe RA. However, AbbVie was actively pursuing additional treatment indications and, in 2020, asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to approve Rinvoq for the treatment of several other diseases.

As is relevant here, Rinvoq is similar to other JAK inhibitor drugs, including Xeljanz, manufactured by Pfizer Inc. When the FDA approved Xeljanz in 2012 for the treatment of RA, it required an additional safety trial to evaluate Xeljanz's risk of triggering certain serious side effects. Beginning in February 2019, the FDA repeatedly warned the public that the safety trial indicated that Xeljanz's use could lead to serious heart-related issue, cancer, and other adverse events. Notwithstanding the similarities between Rinvoq and Xeljanz, during the Class Period, Defendants assured investors that Rinvoq was far safer than Xeljanz and not subject to the same regulatory risks.

However, investors began to learn the truth about Rinvoq's significant risks on June 25, 2021, when AbbVie revealed that the FDA was delaying its review of expanded treatment applications for Rinvoq due to the safety concerns associated with Xeljanz. On this news, the price of AbbVie common stock declined $1.76 per share, or approximately 1.5%, from a close of $114.74 per share on June 24, 2021, to close at $112.98 per share on June 25, 2021.

Then, on September 1, 2021, the FDA announced that final results from the Xeljanz safety trial established an increased risk of serious adverse events, even with low doses of Xeljanz. As a result, the FDA determined that it would require new and updated warnings for Xeljanz and Rinvoq because Rinvoq "share[s] similar mechanisms of action with Xeljanz" and "may have similar risks as seen in the Xeljanz safety trial." The FDA also indicated that it would further limit approved indications for Rinvoq as a result of these safety concerns. On this news, the price of AbbVie common stock declined $8.51 per share, or more than 7%, from a close of $120.78 per share on August 31, 2021, to close at $112.27 per share on September 1, 2021.

After the Class Period, on December 3, 2021, AbbVie announced that the FDA had updated Rinvoq's label to require additional safety warnings and limit marketing of Rinvoq to only its use after treatment with other drugs has failed. On January 11, 2022, Defendants admitted that these changes to Rinvoq's label would negatively impact sales, forcing the Company to reduce its long-term guidance for Rinvoq's sales in 2025.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, the Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, about the company's business and operations. Specifically, Defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) safety concerns about Xeljanz extended to Rinvoq and other JAK inhibitors; (2) as a result, it was likely that the FDA would require additional safety warnings for Rinvoq and would delay the approval of additional treatment indications for Rinvoq; and (3) therefore, Defendants' statements about the company's business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis, As a result of the Defendants' wrongful acts and omissions, and the significant decline in the market value of AbbVie's securities, AbbVie investors have suffered significant damages.

AbbVieinvestors may, no later than June 6, 2022, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLPor other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP encourages AbbVie investors who have suffered significant losses to contact the firm directly to acquire more information.
