Reed’s, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Net sales increased 28% Reaffirms fiscal 2021 outlook NORWALK, Conn., May 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reed’s Inc. (Nasdaq:REED), owner of the nation’s leading portfolio of handcrafted, all-natural beverages, today announced financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2021. Highlights for the First Quarter of 2021 Net sales increased 28% to $12.1 million in the first quarter compared to $9.5 million in the prior year. The increase compared to the prior year reflects continued volume growth of both the Reed’s® and Virgil’s® brands, including the impact from the recent launch of Reed’s Real Ginger Ale products;Core brand gross sales increased 27% versus prior year period primarily driven by 37% volume growth of the Reed’s® brand and 29% growth of the Virgil’s® brand;Gross profit increased 34% to $3.9 million compared to $2.9 million in the prior year period. Gross margin increased to 32% from 30% for the first quarter;Operating loss was $4.3 million compared to $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2020;Net loss was $4.5 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to $2.6 million, or $0.05 per share, in the prior year period; andNon-GAAP Modified EBITDA loss was $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to a Modified EBITDA loss of $1.4 million in the prior year. Management Commentary “Strong momentum continued throughout the first quarter as net sales increased by 28% to over $12 million, the highest quarterly level in Company history. Demand remained broad based and our increase in net sales was largely reflective of volume gains across existing and new customers,” said Norman E. Snyder, Chief Executive Officer of Reed’s, Inc. “We made further progress improving gross margin reporting a 160 basis point increase versus last year; however, this was more than offset by unexpectedly sharp increases in delivery expenses to ensure supply chain continuity due to very challenging conditions in the transportation markets. While many of these adverse factors were outside of our control during the first quarter, we are not satisfied with our net results and have identified several areas where we expect to realize immediate expense savings, drive scale related efficiencies and implement initiatives to mitigate freight and supply chain risks over the balance of the year. With net sales growth in the first three months of 2021 nicely ahead of our full-year guidance range, our recently completed financing transaction solidified our balance sheet, providing incremental working capital to support our anticipated trajectory. We remain comfortable we will meet or exceed the 2021 outlook we introduced in March and are confident in the significant long-term growth opportunity for our overall brand portfolio.” Financial Overview for the First Quarter of 2021 Compared to the First Quarter of 2020 During the first quarter of 2021, net sales increased 28% to $12.1 million compared with $9.5 million in the prior year. Core brand gross sales increased 27% compared to the same period in 2020, driven by 33% volume growth as the Reed’s® brand grew 37% and the Virgil’s® brand grew 29%. Growth reflected continued momentum across the Reed’s and Virgil’s portfolio including strong contribution from the Reed’s Real Ginger Ale line as well as both Reed’s® and Virgil’s® zero sugar products. Gross profit during the first quarter of 2021 increased 34% to $3.9 million compared to the same period in 2020. The increase in gross profit reflects increased revenue during the quarter driven by sales growth across Reed’s® and Virgil’s® brands and the benefits of improved procurement, process optimization and favorable product mix driven by recent innovation launches. Gross margin increased approximately 160 basis points to 32% versus the 30% in the first quarter of 2020. Delivery and handling costs increased 160% to $3.3 million during the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Delivery and handling costs were 27% of net sales and $4.43 per case, compared to 13% of net sales and $2.26 per case during the same period last year, reflecting increased volumes, ecommerce fulfillment costs, and increasing freight rates due to COVID-19. Selling and marketing costs increased 15% to $2.2 million during the first quarter of 2021. The increase was driven by an increase in sales force headcount and marketing costs, partially offset by lower stock compensation expense and reduced expenditures on trade shows and sponsorships. General and administrative expenses (G&A) increased to $2.6 million during the first quarter of 2021 compared to $1.9 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven by legal settlements, employee costs, consulting fees, public company and licensing costs, partially offset by lower stock compensation. Operating loss during the first quarter of 2021 was $4.3 million from $2.3 million in the prior year period. Interest expense of $0.3 million during the first quarter of 2021 was consistent with the first quarter of 2020. Net loss during the first quarter of 2021 was $4.5 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to $2.6 million, or $0.05 per share in the first quarter of 2020. Modified EBITDA loss was $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to a loss of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2020. Liquidity and Cash Flow During the first three months of 2021, the Company used $5.1 million of cash in operating activities compared to $2.4 million of cash used in operating activities in the prior year period. The increase in cash used in operating activities during the first three months of 2021 relates primarily to building inventory, elevated freight costs and legal settlements. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had $0.2 million of cash and $2.5 million of available borrowing capacity on its revolving line of credit. Direct Offering On May 7, 2021, the Company closed a stock purchase agreement of 6.7 million shares of common stock, at a direct offering price of $1.18 per share. The nets proceeds from this offering were approximately $7.3 million, after deducting commissions and other offering expenses, and will be used for to fund working capital and general corporate purposes including supporting additional distribution opportunities. Full Year 2021 Guidance The Company is reaffirming its fiscal 2021 outlook. The Company continues to expect to generate net revenue growth in the range of 14% to 16% during the full year 2021 given the potential uncertainty arising from the recent pandemic. The Company anticipates a gross margin range of 32% to 33% for the full year 2021. Fiscal 2021 guidance reflects year-to-date business trends, including the ongoing operating environment related to COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic and its related impacts create many incremental potential business risks, including potential impacts to the Company’s ability to access raw materials, production, transportation and/or other logistics needs, as well as potential inflation related to all aspects of supply chain and logistics, which cannot be reasonably estimated and are not factored into current fiscal 2021 guidance.

However, Modified EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. We define Modified EBITDA as net income (loss), plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, changes in fair value of warrant expense, legal settlements, and one-time restructuring-related costs including employee severance and asset impairment. Management considers our core operating performance to be that which our managers can affect in any particular period through their management of the resources that affect our underlying revenue and profit generating operations during that period. Non-GAAP adjustments to our results prepared in accordance with GAAP are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Modified EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Modified EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Set forth below is a reconciliation of net loss to Modified EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (unaudited; in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31 2021 2020 Net loss $(4,507) $(2,580) Modified EBITDA adjustments: Depreciation and amortization 56 49 Interest expense 256 336 Stock option and other noncash compensation 398 780 Change in fair value of warrant liability - 6 Legal settlements 353 - Total EBITDA adjustments $1,063 $1,171 Modified EBITDA $(3,444) $(1,409) We present Modified EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use Modified EBITDA in developing our internal budgets, forecasts and strategic plan; in analyzing the effectiveness of our business strategies in evaluating potential acquisitions; making compensation decisions; and in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. Modified EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, which includes, among others, the following: ●Modified EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; ●Modified EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; ●Modified EBITDA does not reflect future interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts; and ●Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Modified EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.
