Green Queen • Nov 20, 2025
Livekindly Collective, the company behind brands like Oumph, Like and Fry’s, achieved profitability in September amidst a slowdown in the plant-based meat industry. CEO David Suarez revealed high single-digit year-on-year growth in the first half of 2025, with a 15% revenue growth in September allowing the company to become profitable, positioning it as one of the few privately held plant-based protein producers to achieve this milestone. The company attributes its success to a sharp focus, consolidation, and a profitability formula that includes clear operational discipline, tight cash management, and growing margins.
Livekindly Collective demonstrated strong retail performance in all markets it operates in while also rapidly growing its B2B business. The company's profitability has unlocked future growth opportunities, positioning it as a leading player in the plant-based meat industry. With a presence in over 40 markets and a focus on innovation and expanding its product portfolio, Livekindly Collective aims to bring plant-based proteins mainstream while continuing to drive profitability and growth.
