Danone has also effectively chilled potential value enhancing acquisitions, by virtue of its purported ability to acquire additional shares for <span class=\"xn-money\">$10<\/span>, which benefits only Danone. No amount of corporate bullying will deter Lifeway from remaining steadfast in safeguarding the interests of our shareholders and other stakeholders.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lifeway is the category leader for kefir products and the most valuable consumer brand in the space. Lifeway&#8217;s full-year unaudited 2024 results represent a record year in terms of top-line revenue, net income and EBITDA. Additionally, for the last week of <span class=\"xn-chron\">February 2025<\/span>, Lifeway achieved another milestone with gross sales of <span class=\"xn-money\">$4,543,297<\/span> compared to <span class=\"xn-money\">$3,880,625<\/span> during the same period in 2024, representing a 17% increase in sales.<\/p>\n<p>Lifeway intends to file a counterclaim against Danone and will aggressively contest Danone&#8217;s claims.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>About Lifeway Foods, Inc.<br \/><\/b>Lifeway Foods, Inc., which has been recognized as one of Forbes&#8217; Best Small Companies, is America&#8217;s leading supplier of the probiotic, fermented beverage known as kefir.
