Moolec Science Presents First Quarter Fiscal Year 2024 Business Update

LUXEMBOURG / ACCESSWIRE / December 14, 2023 / Moolec Science SA (NASDAQ:MLEC), a science-based food ingredient company focused on producing animal proteins in plants through Molecular Farming technology, announced today its Business Update for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2024 ended September 30, 2023.

The main highlights of Moolec's business update are as follows:

  • GLASO: Moolec harvested 35 hectares with a yield of 1.8 tons per hectare. Currently, the company is preparing for the next campaign getting closer to commercialization.
  • SOOY1 | Piggy SooyTM Platform: Moolec's soybeans have been propagated to the next generation (T3) and T3 seed analyses confirmed high levels of porcine myoglobin protein for a second consecutive generation.
  • Moolabs: Moolec's self-owned Molecular Biology Lab at Texas A&M University's Bioscience Business Accelerator has been successfully set ­up and is fully operational.
  • Financial highlight: Revenue increased 92% QoQ to $1.74 million given full quarter consolidation of acquired business and higher volume and prices. Lower COGS impact given stable soy origination and more favorable local market conditions. Low cash utilization of ~$1.74 million remains in line with historical track record.

"We are pleased to report a solid business update. I commend our team's efforts to succeed in all facets of R&D. Moreover, we are encouraged by the progress made on the scientific development of products, which address an attractive opportunity to bring new integral and sustainable solutions to the food market and beyond," stated Gaston Paladini, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Moolec Science.
