The Assets supply high-quality grains, pulses, and specialty crops to customers in over 35 countries in high-growth product categories in both the human and pet food markets. Its vertically integrated model spans from the farm to the consumer, encompassing origination, merchandising, processing, and value-added finishing. The Assets achieve structurally higher margins as a result of its value-added approach, differentiating it from commoditized food and ingredient suppliers, in alignment with Above Food’s strategy. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Assets generated unaudited revenue of US$164 million and an average annual adjusted EBITDA for fiscal years 2021, 2022, and 2023 of US$5.3 million.
“This acquisition marks a major milestone for Above Food and strengthens our international footprint as our first U.S. physical facilities while also significantly growing our market share of the high-growth pet food category,” said Lionel Kambeitz, Founder, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Executive Chairman of Above Food. “TRG’s Specialty Crop Food Ingredient division operates in full harmony with our ‘Seed-to-Fork’ approach, providing us with top-tier processing and storage assets supported by end-to-end quality assurance, product development and safety protocols, while bringing strong relationships with growers, suppliers, and customers. It is a complete business with origination partners that are similarly utilizing sustainable farming practices that are consistent with our Canadian growers, which establishes broader reach across North America that we can leverage for the benefit of our shareholders.”
“The sale of our Specialty Crop Food Ingredient Division represents a significant milestone in The Redwood Group’s growth,” said Mike Kincaid, founder and President of TRG. “This is a bittersweet moment in our history, yet represents a tremendous opportunity for personal and professional growth for our teams in Mission, Kansas and Chester, Montana to join an organization principally focused on specialty crops and value-add opportunities in the region as well as globally. Above Food is adding a well-led group of hardworking innovators, who I expect to continue flourishing and immediately improve utilization and expand the margin structure of several of Above Food’s assets. We are grateful for our team of people who helped build this business and are thankful for the Above Food team’s thoughtful approach to this acquisition.”
Above Food’s Seed-to-Fork approach is central to the Company's strategic positioning, enabling it to maintain control over its entire supply chain, ensuring that its standards for quality, sustainability, safety, and traceability are upheld while sustaining its commitment to regenerative agriculture for the long-term health, resilience, and security of the food supply. By integrating owned production and processing facilities, efficient logistics, and direct distribution channels, Above Food drives strong margins and operational efficiencies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains disclosure of the Asset’s adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined under SEC rules. As required by SEC rules, the Company has provided a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in this press release. The Company believes that presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure improves the transparency of the Company's disclosures and provides a meaningful presentation of the Asset’s results. This non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool as it does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure that Above Food or TRG uses for the Assets may not be the same non-GAAP financial measure, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as that of other companies and, therefore, is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, this non-GAAP financial measure is provided as a supplement to corresponding U.S. GAAP measures to provide additional information regarding the results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, the non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered a substitute for, in isolation from, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure presented in this press release is reconciled to its closest reported U.S. GAAP financial measure.
