Jones Soda Reports Third Quarter 2019 Results

 

 

SEATTLE, Nov. 07, 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, announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.


Third Quarter 2019 Financial Summary vs. Year-Ago Quarter

  • Revenue was $3.0 million compared to $3.5 million.
  • Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 21.7% compared to 22.8%.
  • Net loss was $476,000, or $(0.01) per share, compared to a net loss of $425,000, or $(0.01) per share.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 was $(352,000) compared to $(279,000).

Management Commentary

 

“The third quarter was a challenging period as we experienced fewer promotions from 7-Eleven compared to last year, difficult comparisons in our fountain business and production issues with Lemoncocco in the early part of the quarter,” said Jennifer Cue, CEO of Jones Soda. “Despite these headwinds, our organization is energized by a revamped sales and marketing plan supported by our new VP of marketing and our strategic partnership with HeavenlyRx. With this new plan in place, we are going to be focused on growing our core markets, while driving increased awareness and consumption of our products through unique and innovative marketing strategies.

 

“Looking to the remainder of this year and into 2020, we feel that we have much to be optimistic about. Our Lemoncocco brand is now fully back on store shelves and gaining momentum, we have an innovative marketing plan to reinvigorate sales and new product development is underway to enhance our portfolio. We believe 2020 will be a pivotal year and that we have the necessary foundation in place to capitalize on the opportunities in front of us.”

 

Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results

 

Revenue in the third quarter of 2019 was $3.0 million compared to $3.5 million for the same quarter a year ago. This was primarily the result of a 48% decrease in 7-Select revenue due to a decline in 7-Eleven store counts, along with an 18% decrease in fountain revenue resulting from limited time offerings for a customer chain in 2018 that did not repeat in 2019.

 

Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 21.7% for the third quarter of 2019 compared to 22.8% in the same quarter a year ago. The decrease was primarily driven by increased raw material costs for natural ingredients, along with increased slotting fees and trade promotions.

 

Net loss for the third quarter of 2019 was $476,000, or $(0.01) per share, compared to a net loss of $425,000, or $(0.01) per share, in the same quarter a year ago.

 

Adjusted EBITDA1 in the third quarter of 2019 was $(352,000) compared to $(279,000) in the same quarter a year ago.

 

At September 30, 2019, cash and cash equivalents totaled $7.0 million compared to $1.0 million at December 31, 2018. The significant increase was a result of the strategic financing agreement the Company entered into with HeavenlyRx on July 11, 2019. The Company utilized a portion of the proceeds from the financing to pay down its line of credit balance, and did not have a balance on such line of credit at the end of the third quarter 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.
