SRM Entertainment Corporate Update

Multi-year license agreements for SRM Entertainment’s patented Sip with Me® children’s cups

2024 will see the launch of several new SRM product lines

JUPITER, FL / November 1, 2023 – SRM Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRM) (the “Company” or “SRM”) is a trusted toy and souvenir designer and developer, selling into the world’s largest theme parks and entertainment venues. SRM has licensing relationships with many established content providers, and our products appear in venues such as Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, Six Flags and Imagine Exhibitions.

Starting in 2020, SRM refocused its business plan which has allowed us to deliver significant growth. Increasing the strength of our management team and building stronger relationships with content providers, retailers, and third-party manufacturers allows us to move from product concept to a new product more efficiently. These strategic improvements have been reflected in our business results:

Income statements	2022		2021
Revenue
Sales	$	6,076,116	$	2,665,827
Cost of Sales		4,845,217		2,110,395
Gross profit		1,230,899		555,432

Operating expense		886,398		584,493

Net Income (loss)	$	344,501	$	(29,061	)

SRM successfully completed our initial public offering in August 2023. Since that time, we’ve been expanding beyond our core theme park business. We’ve added multi-year license agreements for SRM’s patented Sip with Me® children’s cups which feature Smurfs and Zoonicorn franchise characters, which will be sold online and at retail stores throughout the country.

2024 will see the launch of several new SRM product lines which include ICEE, Sealife and Zoo collections. A new Smurfs movie, featuring Rihanna, will be released in February 2025 and a new Orlando theme park will open in 2025. These new product launches should help build on SRM’s drive to expand our core business along with licensing partnerships for our hydration and table-top products, including our patented double drinking straw Sip with Me® tumblers and other products.

SRM has developed what we believe is a nimble and low-fixed cost production model. As a result, we can dynamically manage our business to balance current content releases and pop culture trends with timeless content based on classic movies and known brands. This has allowed us to deliver growth while lessening our dependence on individual content releases.
