Prenetics Global Limited (NASDAQ: PRE) (“Prenetics” or the
“Company”), a leading health sciences company, is pleased to
announce the acquisition of Europa Sports Partners (“Europa”) and
subsidiary, Hubmatrix, a global ecommerce and retail logistics
provider. This strategic acquisition marks a significant milestone
in Prenetics' expansion into the $187 billion United States
consumer health and wellness industry, and reinforces Prenetics’
recent entry into this sector with IM8, a new health and wellness
brand with a focus on cutting-edge consumer health products. The
acquisition and the continued operations of Europa have been funded
with cash available on the Company’s balance sheet.
Additionally, the Europa business establishes
the U.S. headquarters of Prenetics in Charlotte, NC, and solidifies
its business commitment to the US market. The acquisition of Europa
and subsidiary Hubmatrix will drive Prenetics’ distribution network
and streamline the predominantly brick and mortar distribution
business model to include a direct digital distribution
platform.
Danny Yeung, CEO of Prenetics, said: “Prenetics’
acquisition of Europa and Hubmatrix is a strategic move that
establishes our foothold in the U.S. market. Coupled with our
partnership with David Beckham and the upcoming launch of IM8, we
are positioned to become a leader in the health and wellness
industry. This move demonstrates our commitment to significant
growth and innovation in the rapidly expanding consumer market,
with expectations to surpass $100 million in consumer segment
revenue by the end of 2025.”
Justin Weeks, CEO of Europa Sports Partners,
added: “Joining forces with Prenetics opens up new opportunities
for Europa to leverage our advanced technologies and digital
strategies. Together, we can deliver enhanced value to our brand
partners and customers, driving forward the future of sports
