Cyanotech Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter and First Nine Months of Fiscal 2024

Cyanotech Corporation (Nasdaq Capital Market: CYAN), a world leader in microalgae-based, high-value nutrition and health dietary supplement products, announced financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2024, ended December 31, 2023.

Commenting on the third quarter fiscal year 2024 results, Cyanotech’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Matthew K. Custer, said:

“The macroeconomic environment led to lower sales across the portfolio on a year-to-date basis, being driven particularly by Spirulina bulk sales. Industry data shows consumers are not pulling back from dietary supplements, but they have begun trading down to private label brands to save on costs. The market for bulk material is increasingly price sensitive with many companies sourcing lower priced international ingredients.”

“In the face of these challenges, we have revitalized our sales and marketing team, starting with the addition of a Chief Commercial Officer this past August, and strengthening the sales team. We have focused on enhancing our customer messaging on our premium quality and competitive advantages. Our naturally farmed microalgae from our location in Hawaii with pristine waters and natural sourcing practices aligns with rising consumer objectives and growing demand for responsible, sustainable and U.S. grown products.”
