Summary of Quarterly Comparison of Revenue, Gross Profit and Net Loss

Mr. Yftah Ben Yaackov, BYND's CEO, noted, "We are very pleased with the Company's financial results during Q2 of 2023 as we were able to increase revenues while investing in our future products. With the proceeds from the recent public offering, we are able to continue investing in our patent registrations and the creation of the EZ-G prototype, and we plan to introduce the products to the market before the end of 2023."

Despite the decline in gross profit percentage, the Company remains focused on its long-term growth strategy and product development initiatives. The net loss for Q2 2023 increased significantly compared to the same period last year. This can be attributed to the strategic investments made by the Company to fuel its growth and innovation. These investments are part of a well-defined plan to bring new products to the market, enhancing BYND's position as a pioneer in the sexual wellness industry.

The decrease in working capital and total assets is a result of planned expenditures and investments for the development of new products and the enhancement of existing ones. The Company remains well-capitalized to support its growth and expansion plans.

Investors and stakeholders are encouraged to review the complete consolidated interim financial statements and management discussion and analysis for deeper insights into BYND's financial performance during Q2 2023.
