NEPT Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc

Revenue for Quarter Ended September 30, 2022 is expected to be $12.5 to $13.5 million

LAVAL, QC, Nov. 15, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ -  Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc. ("Neptune" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NEPT), a diversified and fully integrated health and wellness company focused on plant-based, sustainable and purpose-driven lifestyle brands, today is preannouncing revenue for its fiscal second quarter 2023 in the range of $12.5 million to $13.5 million. 

The Company will file for an extension with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC"), for an additional five days to file its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, originally due November 14, 2022. The request is predominantly as a result of the need to conduct additional impairment analysis on intangible assets and the diversion of such resources due to the Company's recently-completed divestiture of substantially all of the Company's assets relating to its Canadian cannabis business.

Neptune expects to file its fiscal second quarter 2023 financial results and host a conference call to discuss financials and provide a business update as soon as possible. The conference call details will be announced in advance.

Headquartered in Laval, Quebec, Neptune is a diversified health and wellness company with a mission to redefine health and wellness.  Neptune is focused on building a portfolio of high quality, affordable consumer products in response to long-term secular trends and market demand for natural, plant-based, sustainable and purpose-driven lifestyle brands. The Company utilizes a highly flexible, cost-efficient manufacturing and supply chain infrastructure that can be scaled to quickly adapt to consumer demand and bring new products to market through its mass retail partners and e-commerce channels.
