John Chapman's questions to Waldencast PLC (WALD) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
John Chapman of Alliance Global Partners inquired about the supply chain restructuring for the Obagi brand, asking for details on the initiative and its potential to improve operations and support future innovation.
Answer
Executive Michel Brousset explained that while the supply chain is cost-efficient, it lacks the necessary flexibility and speed to meet rising demand. The company is streamlining its warehousing from a two-step to a one-step process to improve responsiveness. Brousset acknowledged this transition caused some Q1 disruption and out-of-stocks but stated it will ultimately allow the company to better meet demand peaks for new and existing products.
