Total revenue for year ending June 2020 was $1.7 billion, a 33% increase over the previous year. The company’s flagship A2 infant formula nutrition products contributed $1.4b.

Unlike many companies that were impacted by COVID-19 disruptions, A2 says its performance was robust throughout the year.

“We demonstrated significant resilience in the second half, managing the business in the face of the Covid-19 global pandemic,” it says.

“We estimate that COVID-19 had a modest positive impact on revenue and earnings for the year.”

 The company says revenues in the third quarter, as Covid-19 was setting in, was well above expectations due to the impact of changes in consumer purchase behaviour.
