Management
Commentary
“I
am proud of our team’s hard work in 2023 as they executed on our strategic initiatives to consistently lower input costs and optimize
our cost structure, resulting in more than $6 million of expense reductions and a material improvement to our bottom line,” said
Norman E. Snyder, Jr., CEO of Reed’s. “We experienced solid order volume across our retail network during the year, however
we were unable to fulfill the entire demand due to inflated short order shipments, which we believe offset net sales by approximately
$5 million in 2023. We have taken the appropriate steps to increase production capacity and are actively building our finished goods
inventory. With an improving inventory position, we are well on track to dramatically reduce short shipments and capitalize on the demand
for our fan-favorite products.
“Looking
ahead, we have several key initiatives to drive growth and profitability. As we build our inventory levels, we will sharpen our focus
on returning to growth through our key product categories: Reed’s Ginger Ale, Ginger Beer, Virgil’s Zero Sugar and our ready-to-drink
alcohol portfolio. We also plan to uncover additional cost-saving opportunities throughout our business to ensure we are operating as
efficiently as possible. We expect these initiatives will enable us to deliver on our growth and profitability objectives in 2024.”
Fourth
Quarter 2023 Financial Results
During
the fourth quarter of 2023, net sales were $11.7 million compared to $15.0 million in the year-ago period. The decrease was primarily
driven by short order shipments and lower sales from seasonal programs due to timing of customer orders and a third-party manufacturing
deficiency, both related to the Company’s swing-lid products. Reed’s expects to receive an insurance claim to cover the cost
of these products. The Company also implemented a one time change to policy for discounts that offset net sales by approximately
$0.8 million this quarter.
Gross
profit for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $0.5 million compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2022. Gross margin was 4.0% compared
to 22.9% in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by a one-time, non-cash packaging inventory valuation adjustment
of $1.8 million, a one-time provision for product hold related to the Company’s swing-lid program of $1.3 million, as well as the
aforementioned one-time change to policy for discounts. Adjusted gross profit, which excludes these non-cash items, for the fourth
quarter of 2023 was $4.3 million or 34.9% of revenue.
Delivery
and handling costs were reduced by 32% to $1.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $2.7 million in the fourth quarter
of 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by continued reductions in freight rates, as well as improved throughput and efficiencies
related to the Company’s streamlined distribution model. Delivery and handling costs were reduced to 16% of net sales or $2.82
per case, compared to 18% of net sales or $3.44 per case during the same period last year.
Selling,
general and administrative costs declined by 23% to $3.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $3.9 million in the year-ago
quarter. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative costs remained flat at 26%.
Operating
loss during the fourth quarter of 2023 was $5.0 million or $(1.55) per share, compared to $3.7 million or $(1.54) per share in the fourth
quarter of 2022.
Modified
EBITDA improved to $43,000 in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $(2.8) million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Update
on Recent Financing
During
the first quarter of 2024, Reed’s closed on a $4.1 million SAFE (“Simple Agreement for Future Equity”) agreement as
part of a planned $6.0 million financing. Reed’s plans to utilize the funds to build its finished goods inventory reserves to reduce
short shipments in 2024.
Liquidity
and Cash Flow
For
the fourth quarter of 2023, cash used in operations was $0.2 million compared to cash flow from operations of $1.0 million for the same
period in 2022. The decrease in operating cash flow was primarily driven by higher inventory purchases compared to the year-ago period.
As
of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $0.6 million of cash and $27.4 million of total debt net of capitalized financing
fees. This cash balance does not include the aforementioned $4.1 million of SAFE proceeds from the Company’s recent financing.
The debt includes $17.6 million from a convertible note and $9.8 million from the Company’s revolving line of credit, which has
$3.0 million of additional borrowing capacity.
FY
2024 Financial Outlook
The
Company projects net sales growth, gross margin expansion, and to achieve modified EBITDA profitability for the full year 2024. Reed’s
also expects to generate positive cash flow from operations for the full year 2024.

Modified
EBITDA
In
addition to our GAAP results, we present Modified EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. 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, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation,
changes in fair value of warrant expense, legal and insurance settlements, inventory write-offs associated with exited categories and
major packaging and formula changes, one-time changes to policy, impact of changes to accounting methodology 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 and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 (unaudited;

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. |
