Jones Soda Reports First Quarter 2019 Results

 

 

SEATTLE, May 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jones Soda Co. (the “Company”) (OTCQB: JSDA), a leader in the craft soda category and known for its unique branding and authentic connection to its consumers, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.

 

First Quarter 2019 Financial Summary vs. Year-Ago Quarter

Management Commentary

 

“The start of 2019 marked another quarter of progress with our recent product incentives, along with consumers continuing to resonate well with our brand,” said Jennifer Cue, CEO of Jones Soda. “During the first quarter, we continued to experience growth in fountain and Lemoncocco initiatives resulting in 52% and 13% year-over-year revenue increases, respectively. We also continued to replace ingredients in our glass bottle portfolio with all-natural colors and flavorings where possible, while reducing sugar content.

 

“Building on this momentum, we continued to expand our brand’s footprint and made headway with several key accounts. In fact, subsequent to the quarter, we announced two new strategic retail partners that significantly expanded our brand to new customers. First, we finalized our agreement with Walmart, the largest retailer in the U.S., launching our most popular 4-pack flavors in approximately 1,000 locations, which began to roll-out in late April 2019. We also entered into a five-year agreement with Zeeks Pizza, a regional pizza chain in Washington that replaced all Coke beverages with several Jones products in every location.

 

“As evident by positive customer feedback and the recent retail account additions, we continue to see consumer preferences shift toward premium craft beverage offerings and believe Jones Soda is well positioned to further capitalize on this movement going forward.”

 

First Quarter 2019 Financial Results

 

Revenue in the first quarter of 2019 remained flat at $2.8 million compared to the same quarter a year ago. This was a result of a 52% increase in fountain revenue and a 13% increase in Lemoncocco revenue, offset by an 18% decrease in 7-Select revenue.

 

Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 20.1% for the first quarter of 2019 compared to 21.7% in the same quarter a year ago. The decrease was primarily driven by strategic slotting fees and higher promotional activity related to new accounts, along with an increase in raw material costs associated with packaging.

 

Net loss was $796,000, or $(0.02) per share, for the first quarter of 2019 compared to a net loss of $469,000, or $(0.01) per share, in the same quarter a year ago.

 

Adjusted EBITDA1 in the first quarter of 2019 was $(635,000) compared to $(390,000) in the same quarter a year ago.

 

At March 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents totaled $459,000 compared to $1.0 million at December 31, 2018. The Company’s line of credit balance at the end of the first quarter totaled $1.0 million compared to $428,000 at December 31, 2018.

____________________________

1 Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation and is a non-GAAP measure (reconciliation provided below).

Presentation of Non-GAAP Information

 

This press release contains disclosure of the Company's Adjusted EBITDA, which is a not a United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (“GAAP”) financial measure. The difference between Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) and Net Loss (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) is the exclusion of interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation. We have included a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss in our Non-GAAP Reconciliation in this press release. This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact of certain expenses to our consolidated statements of operations. In addition, because Adjusted EBITDA may not be calculated identically by all companies, the presentation here may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors about the Company's results attributable to operations, in particular by eliminating the impact of non-cash charges related to stock-based compensation, amortization and depreciation that is consistent with the manner in which we evaluate the Company's performance. These adjustments to the Company's GAAP results are made with the intent of providing a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying operational results and provide supplemental information regarding our current ability to generate cash flow. This non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a replacement for, or superior to net loss as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, or cash flow, as a measure of its liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA should be reviewed in conjunction with Net Loss as calculated in accordance with GAAP.
