Summary · why it matters

Tooru PLC CEO Scott Livingston said the company's growth is accelerating as its OAF and Pulsin brands gain retail traction, after the group generated more than £1 million of EBITDA from its operating businesses in the first half. Livingston told Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that OAF has secured additional stores with Tesco and Asda after meeting key performance indicators during its trial period, though he noted the brand remains in a relatively small number of stores across both retailers and that early conversations are under way with other chains. He also said Pulsin has returned to positive cash flow and EBITDA after earlier challenges, with strong demand and growing European distribution supporting a cautious shift from a defensive approach back towards growth. Following a fundraise of nearly £1 million, Tooru is assessing potential acquisitions, targeting wellness and natural-product businesses that fit its existing portfolio, serve similar consumer demographics, and could benefit from its manufacturing capabilities. For the second half of 2026, Livingston identified three priorities: increasing OAF distribution with major retailers, expanding Pulsin's European reach, and pursuing suitable acquisitions.
