Dan O’Neill, Executive Chairman of Electronic Cigarettes International Group, Inc., commented, “Recognizing the challenges faced by the Company during fiscal year 2014, the new team has been working tirelessly to position ECIG for future profitable growth. Since my appointment as Executive Chairman, every stone of the Company has been reviewed, discussed and challenged. The work to date has been focused on setting ourselves up to take advantage of the opportunities in the category and the brands in the ECIG portfolio. The restructuring of the balance sheet, the ability to secure both short-term and long-term financing, the changes to the Board and the cleaned up old inventory are mostly behind us. More importantly, we obtained an internal agreement for a new global strategy setting ourselves up for 2015. Cash and profits will be the drivers, with new targets set for inventory turns, SKU priorities, in-country production, receivables and payment terms. The category is one of major opportunity. Our mission is to capture and significantly improve our performance.”
