FROM THE CEO
An important milestone
“
The September quarter marked an important milestone for The Calmer Co., with record revenue of $2.44 million,
up 42% quarter-on-quarter. This result demonstrates the growing strength of our diversified business model
across Australian retail, e-commerce and international wholesale markets.
Wholesale and B2B ingredients revenue increased to $832,000 from $306,000 in the prior quarter, supported by
demand for premium kava ingredients, including CO₂ extracts, particularly in the United States. Scaling this
higher-value channel remains central to our strategy to improve Group margins and build a more predictable
revenue base.
