BTTR Is Focused on Maximizing Shareholder Value • E-Commerce, DTC & Pet Specialty work together to create a “Halo” effect • Recent team member additions expected to drive Pet Specialty growth Anchored in high growth channels • Consistent near-doubling of international sales YoY with contracted minimum purchases supports rapid growth across key markets Strong and growing international presence • Significant M&A and IPO activity in the market (i.e. Solid Gold & Wellpet) • PetCo files an IPO and Carlyle “re-acquires” Manna Pro from Morgan Stanley Extremely active investment sector • FreshPet (FRPT) is the only publicly traded direct competitor to BTTR • FRPT trades at ~19x 2020 revenuePublic market scarcity 16
• We remain committed to locating the right assets that meet our investment criteria • Strong industry contacts increase our ability to source transactions internally and avoid highly competitive auctions • Preference for asset light models that avoid channel confliction / competition with Halo & TruDog brands • Public company structure has historically enabled Better Choice to offer transaction consideration in the form of cash and stock 17 While Simultaneously Sourcing & Evaluating Transformative M&A Transactions 17
The New Halo Brand Strategy Simply Works! 1. Easy to execute in market 2. Creates a “Halo” effect 3. Leverages internal scale 4. Allows for selective M&A opportunities over time 18
