PART III NARRATIVE

Better Choice Company, Inc. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is filing this Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with respect to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”). The Company is unable to file its Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense because it requires additional time to complete its procedures relating to its year-end financial reporting and auditing process. The Company is currently assessing its $8.5 million of intangible assets for impairment and requires additional time to complete the valuation. It is anticipated that the Form 10-K Annual Report will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date of the Registrant's Form 10-K.

PART IV

OTHER INFORMATION

 

(1)Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification:

 

Carolina Martinez   (212)   896-1254
(Name)   (Area Code)   (Telephone Number)

 

(2)Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). Yes ☒ No ☐
  
(3)Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operation for the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? Yes ☒ No ☐

 

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

 

The Company expects to report significant changes in its results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, including a decrease in net sales of approximately $16.1 million, and a decrease in gross profit of approximately $3.5 million. Additionally, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $11 million, and we expect a decrease in net loss between $16.5 million (if all of our $8.5 million of intangible assets are impaired) and $25 million (if there is no impairment of our intangible assets). However, because management’s review is ongoing, there can be no assurance that the financial and accounting information referred to in this filing will not change upon completion of the financial statements and filing of the Company’s Form 10-K.
