Stryve Foods reviews strategic alternatives to fuel growth

FRISCO, Texas - Stryve Foods, Inc. (OTC: SNAX), a company specializing in high-protein, air-dried meat snacks, has announced the initiation of a formal review process to explore strategic alternatives that could enhance shareholder value and provide capital to meet increasing demand. The company’s stock, currently valued at a market capitalization of $1.8 million, has seen significant pressure with a 70% decline over the past year, according to InvestingPro data. The company has experienced a substantial growth in demand for its unique product offerings, resulting in improved business performance and reduced losses over the past two years. However, InvestingPro analysis reveals concerning financial metrics, including a current ratio of 0.38 and total debt of $28.1 million, highlighting the urgency of the strategic review.

CEO Chris Boever commented on the company’s position in the market and the need for working capital to maintain growth and meet customer needs. The strategic review may consider various options, including a strategic investment, business combination, sale of the company or its assets, or other potential transactions.

Stryve’s products, which include brands like Braaitime®, Kalahari®, and Vacadillos®, cater to health-conscious consumers by offering snacks that are low in sugar and carbohydrates but high in protein, aligning with Keto and Paleo diets. The company also produces human-grade pet treats under the Two Tails and High Steaks brands.

Stryve distributes its products across major retail channels in North America and through its e-commerce websites, including Amazon and Walmart platforms. Despite the positive outlook and transformation, the company has acknowledged the urgent need to secure working capital to sustain its growth trajectory and achieve near-term profitability. While analysts forecast 28% revenue growth for the current year, the company faces significant challenges with its cash burn rate.
