**Functional Brands Announces Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results**

**Lake Oswego, OR** – (December 15, 2025) – Functional Brands Inc. (NASDAQ: MEHA), a leading innovator in wellness and performance products, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

**Third Quarter 2025 highlights:** 

● Revenue of $1.7 million increased 21.4% compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to growth in direct-to-consumer sales

● Gross profit increased 28.1% compared to the prior year period and gross profit margin improved 310 basis points to 57.8% reflecting higher revenue, improved cost control and better terms with vendors

● Net income of $0.3 million or $0.04 per diluted share compared to a net loss of $0.3 million and $(0.04) per diluted share in the prior year period

"We are pleased with our third quarter results as we delivered strong growth on the top and bottom line, reflecting early progress on our key initiatives," said Eric Gripentrog, CEO of Functional Brands Inc. "The past few months have been transformational for Functional Brands, marked by several milestone achievements that position us strongly for accelerated growth. Most notably, we successfully completed our direct listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol MEHA, representing a pivotal moment that validates our business model and provides the capital foundation to execute our ambitious expansion plans.

"We also achieved significant strategic breakthroughs that differentiate us in the marketplace. Our P2i by Kirkman prenatal supplement has become the world's first to fully align with FIGO's transparency standards and the first to comply with California's new SB 646 QR-code disclosure law—well ahead of the January 2027 implementation date. Additionally, we forged a high-impact commercial partnership with Market Performance Group to supercharge the growth of our flagship Kirkman brand across eCommerce and digital channels, unlocking new opportunities to reach millions of consumers with our science-based wellness solutions. These accomplishments demonstrate that we are executing on our mission of 'Making Everyone Healthy Again' while building a foundation for sustainable, profitable growth."
