THE BIG IDEA IN 45 WORDS: 85% of Americans snack regularly at night. The most popular choices are cookies, chips, and ice cream. This nighttime snacking isn’t just unhealthy, it also disrupts sleep quality. And it won’t stop, because nighttime cravings are hard - wired. Who will solve America’s $50B nighttime snack problem? *All statistics from IRI and Euromonitor

 

 

AMERICA’S $50B NIGHTTIME SNACK PROBLEM The result? Hundreds of millions of servings of chips, cookies, and ice cream are consumed at night every week in the United States. These snack choices are both unhealthy and can impair sleep quality. Leading to weight gain, guilt, and poor sleep. Biologically hardwired cravings for excess “survival calories” intersect with modern late - night lifestyles and easy access to calorie - dense snacks. While the world’s largest food and beverage companies research and evaluate the billion - dollar nighttime snack opportunity, one brand is pioneering the category . *All statistics on this slide from Philips, Euromonitor, IRI and Harris Poll and MassiveHealth’s Eatery App

MARKET TRENDS INDICATE THE TIME IS RIGHT The need for sleep - friendly nighttime snacks existed long before COVID. That need will remain in a post - COVID world. Here are three market forces that we believe are now bringing sleep - friendly nutrition to the forefront: The Snackification of a Nation The average American consumes 2.7 snacks daily, with 47% of us now snacking 3 or more times per day. Sleep continues to worsen 46% of North Americans report their sleep has worsened in the last 2 years. 80% of global adults want to improve their sleep quality. Consumers increasingly turn to functional foods These same consumers are growing more aware of the importance of sleep and its role in weight management, energy levels, physical appearance, and overall health . The convergence of these three major macro - trends is expected to drive mainstream adoption of sleep - friendly nutrition in the coming years. 34% 34% 34% 44% 36% 40% 41% 45% 46% 47% Global Asia - Pacific Europe North America South America % of consumers who say that their sleep health has worsened in the last two years 2019 2020 *All statistics on this slide from Philips, Euromonitor, and IRI

 

 

…the increasingly hectic pace of modern life is creating a market for night - time products that help people of all ages calm down before bedtime, sleep better, and restore the body while they rest. Breakfast is a key occasion, but so is late - night snacking, and on - the - go meal replacement, and a snack as a meal accompaniment. …people are looking to replace some of their junk foods before they go to sleep with something that is a little better. …the same consumer might eat very healthy in the morning, but very indulgent at night…it makes a hell of a difference what time of day it is. We now recognize within our organization that sleep is an important aspect of which to concentrate if we want to be in this space of functional food and beverages Antonio Tataranni, PepsiCo Chief Medical Officer Steven Cahillane, CEO Kellogg’s Doug Munk, Director of New Business Ventures, Nestle USA Dirk Van de Put, CEO Mondelez International Struggling to get a good night’s sleep? It might be down to gut health. We’re working with @MicrobaOfficial to find out how diet and gut bacteria can get those sweet dreams back on track.

THE CATEGORY IS COMING, BUT WHO WILL BE THE CATEGORY KING? As young categories mature, a “Category King” typically emerges. The category king is the brand that will capture the largest market share and highest valuation within the mature category. It’s often the company that pioneered the category, but not always. Examples in recently maturing categories include: 5 - Hour Energy accounted for 88.4% of Energy Shot sales for 52 weeks ended 5/16/21. 1 Chobani accounted for 43.5% of Greek Yogurt sales for 13 weeks ended October 16, 2021 2 Vita Coco is the coconut water category leader with 46% market share in the United States 3 1 – Statista published January 13, 2022. 2 – Chobani S - 1 , Filed November 17, 2021 3 – Vita Coco S - 1 , Filed September 27, 2021

 

 

WHY NIGHTFOOD CAN BE CATEGORY KING: #1 - PIONEERING THE CATEGORY In a new category, the pioneer has the inside track to be “Category King”. This is about much more than simple “first - mover advantage”. The pioneer is often viewed as the authority on the problem being solved and the default choice among consumers. As the category grows, market share, sales, and valuation tend to accrue to the category king.

 

 

WHY NIGHTFOOD CAN BE CATEGORY KING: #2 - MULTIPLE SNACK FORMATS Nightfood is developing sleep - friendly versions of popular nighttime snack formats in addition to ice cream pints for introduction in 2022. Nightfood is not an ice cream company. Nightfood is the nighttime snacking company.

 

 

WHY NIGHTFOOD CAN BE CATEGORY KING: #3 - THE HOTEL ADVANTAGE In 2021, a leading global hotel chain tested sales of Nightfood pints in their lobby shops. Successful test sales led to the chain’s decision to introduce Nightfood nationally. The Company is awaiting receipt of initial purchase orders for this national rollout and is targeting distribution in 7,500 hotel properties across multiple chains within 9 months. In addition, in February, 2022, Nightfood announced it had signed an agreement with a major hospitality group purchasing organization which services over 11,000 hotels in the U.S., all of which are potential distribution targets. Consumer exposure to Nightfood in major hotel chains across the country is expected to cement our position as the king of the nighttime snacking category. Hotels have an obligation to help guests sleep better. If the most respected hotel brands in the world trust Nightfood for late - night cravings, consumers can trust Nightfood too.

 

 

HOTEL BENEFITS: REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES The top 5 hotel brands combine for over 26,000 properties in the United States Nightfood Revenue Target = $10/property/day 4,037 5,540 5,310 6,367 5,670

 

 

HOTEL BENEFITS: STRONGER GROSS AND NET MARGINS Ever see snacks on sale in a hotel lobby shop? 2 pints for $8? Maybe “buy one, get one free”? Of course not! Selling through hotels virtually eliminates the three biggest margin killers in food & beverage: • Slotting fees • Promotional price discounts (on sale) • Advertising The result? Hotels deliver lower expenses and fewer revenue reductions for greater profit potential.

 

 

HOTEL BENEFITS: CATEGORY ADVANCEMENT Widespread distribution of Nightfood’s sleep - friendly snacks in trusted hotel chains communicates to consumers that what they eat before bed truly does matter. The faster this key belief gains acceptance within consumers’ collective mindset, the faster the nighttime snack category can be projected to grow.
