- Signed $110m health & wellness supply agreement with Eternal Asia

Strategic Shift to Own-Brand Products
RooLife Group Limited (ASX – RLG) has marked a decisive transformation in its business model during the first quarter of fiscal 2026. The company is focusing on higher-margin sales by launching and scaling its own-brand products, leveraging data-driven insights to tailor offerings across key markets including China, India, and the UK. This pivot is designed to improve profitability and operational efficiency by minimizing reliance on traditional brand-building and hero product lines.
Major Supply Agreements Signal Growth
Central to this strategy are two landmark contracts secured in recent months. In August 2025, RLG inked a $110 million health and wellness supply agreement with Eternal Asia Supply Chain Management Ltd, a major Chinese distributor with an extensive network spanning over 320 cities and servicing numerous Fortune 500 companies. This deal positions RLG to significantly expand its branded footprint in China’s vast consumer market.
Following this, in September 2025, RLG secured a $64 million coffee supply contract with Zhongshan Runlian Commercial Co., Ltd, cementing its presence in one of the world’s fastest-growing coffee markets. The agreement underscores RLG’s commitment to scaling its own branded food and beverage products and validates its strategic focus on high-growth categories.
Financial Discipline and Capital Strength
Alongside these contracts, RLG completed a $2 million capital raise from institutional investors, strengthening its balance sheet to support order fulfilment and sales expansion. The company also reported a reduction in product manufacturing and operating costs to $198,000 for the quarter, reflecting a leaner, tech-enabled model that outsources operational complexities to partners.
RLG divested its Australian digital marketing subsidiary, CHOOSE Digital Pty Ltd, generating upfront proceeds of $200,000 and additional payments expected by year-end. This divestment aligns with the company’s focus on core growth markets and higher-margin product sales.
Cash Position and Outlook
At quarter-end, RLG held $1.94 million in cash and available financing facilities, providing a runway of over four quarters based on current operating cash flows. While the company reported net cash used in operating activities of $473,000, the strengthened capital base and contract pipeline position it well for execution and margin improvement in the coming periods.
RLG’s marketplace model, which bridges international brands into China and delivers Chinese-sourced products to Western markets, remains a unique differentiator. The company’s ability to rapidly launch and scale products globally, supported by data-driven market insights, will be critical as it seeks to capitalise on these substantial supply agreements.
Bottom Line?
RLG’s Q1 results set the stage for a pivotal year focused on scaling own-brand products and delivering on multi-million-dollar contracts.
Questions in the middle?
- How quickly will RLG convert the $174 million in supply agreements into recognised revenue?
- What margin improvements can investors expect as own-brand sales ramp up?
- How will RLG manage operational risks tied to rapid expansion in diverse international markets?
