Investor Insight

Through its innovative line of diversified products, Cizzle Brands Corporation is well-positioned to capitalize on the global MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement sweeping the nation. This includes increased consumer demand for low-sugar, high-quality functional foods and beverages, nutritional supplements and sustainable packaging.

Overview

Cizzle Brands Corporation (CBOE:CZZL) is a dynamic sports nutrition company dedicated to driving transformative change within the health and wellness industry. Cizzle commenced trading on CBOE Canada on December 30, 2024, marking a significant milestone in its growth trajectory.

Leveraging deep-rooted connections in the professional sports sector, the company collaborates with elite athletes to trial and refine its health and wellness products to ensure optimal performance, while still being appropriate for athletes of all ages. Its CWENCH Hydration line of products underscores its commitment to premium-quality offerings.

Cizzle maintains a global R&D innovation team involving top nutritionists, dieticians and strength coaches to develop cutting-edge products and bring them to market. This approach ensures that each product is designed to meet the highest standards of performance and wellness.

As consumers become increasingly health-conscious, there is a significant shift toward products that offer clean ingredients and functional benefits, such as hydration, recovery and natural energy. The functional beverage market size is estimated to reach US$229.75 billion in 2025, and is expected to climb to US$329.68 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.49 percent. This growth is driven by rising disposable incomes, heightened awareness of physical well-being, and the growing popularity of fitness lifestyles.

CWENCH Hydration is already recognized as one of the fastest-growing hydration products in the world. In its first 6 months of operation, it generated net sales of $5 million with gross margins of 60 percent and is on track to achieve $13 to $15 million in sales in its first fiscal year. Since its launch, CWENCH has been endorsed by elite athletes and adopted by professional sports teams across North America.

Cizzle is led by a seasoned executive team with extensive experience in consumer-packaged goods, brand building and public markets.

Market Differentiator

Cizzle differentiates itself by developing aspirational products consumed by aspirational people that drive awareness in key markets. Through its broad-based grassroots programs, over 12,000 youth athletes across North America are sponsored by Cizzle, featuring CWENCH logos on their helmets, jerseys and water bottles.

As Cizzle's products develop loyal followings in key markets, other consumer groups are pulled into engagement with its brands. With so many youth athletes making CWENCH Hydration their preferred sports drinks, pantry-loading parents who support sugar-free, all-natural alternatives for their kids become advocates - and ultimately consumers of CWENCH.

Cizzle's commitment to sustainability is another key differentiator. By adopting eco-friendly packaging solutions such as Tetra Pak, the company significantly reduces its environmental impact compared to traditional materials. It also limits the amount of plastics that touch Cizzle's products, minimizing the risk of exposure to microplastics. This move not only addresses growing consumer demand for healthy and sustainable products but also reinforces Cizzle's brand values.

Well-defined Growth Strategy

Too often emerging CPG companies grow faster than their capitalization and infrastructure can support, leading many to flame out or incur dilutive financings. Cizzle is focused on maximizing shareholder value through sustainable revenue growth, strong gross margins, profitability and strategic acquisitions.

As brand awareness grows, and velocity through current retailers accelerates, the company plans to increase sales by expanding distribution channels through major Canadian retailers to boost market penetration and drive product visibility in high-traffic retail locations.

At the same time, Cizzle is building brand awareness and driving sales in select US and European markets where it can drive velocity while maintaining gross margins.

Product innovation is a key pillar of Cizzle’s growth strategy. The company has or is preparing to launch multiple new products across various consumer channels in 2025, including CWENCH Protein and Spoken Nutrition, among others. Each product launch will be supported by targeted marketing campaigns, in-store activations, and influencer partnerships to create brand awareness and drive consumer demand. Furthermore, Cizzle is actively pursuing opportunities to acquire young, innovative companies in the health and wellness sector that align with its mission, thus accelerating portfolio expansion.
