[ad_1]

Fort Lauderdale, FL – (NewMediaWire) – March 31, 2023 –  Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (NYSE American: SBEV) (“Splash” or the “Company”), a portfolio company of leading beverage brands, today reported financial results for the  fourth quarter and full year period ended December 31, 2022.  Investors are encouraged to read the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commissions (the “SEC”), contains additional information, and is posted at https://splashbeveragegroup.com/.

 

Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Performance

·       Revenues for the fourth quarter were $4.79 million compared to $3.06 million in the prior year period, an increase of 56%.  Full-year gross revenues were $19.0 million compared to $11.8 million in the prior year period, an increase of 61%.  The increase in revenue was due to increases in the company’s ecommerce platform Qplash and the beverage brands with Copa Di Vino at the lead.

·       Gross margin for the fourth quarter significantly increased to $3.3 million compared to $339K in the prior year period.  Full year gross margin was $5.9 million compared to $3.9 million in the prior year period.

·       Fourth quarter net loss narrowed to $4.8 million compared to $6.2 million in the prior year period.  Net loss for the full year narrowed to $21.7 million, compared to $29.0 million in the prior year period.  Non-cash items were down to $7.4M vs $18.4 the prior year. Cash items were slightly up as expected from $10.7M to $14.3M due to several onetime expenses and an increase in marketing spend to support our retail chain distribution push and increase in freight to customer cost.  

·       As of December 31, 2022, the company had total cash and cash equivalents of $4.4 million, compared to $4.2 million at December 31, 2021.

Robert Nistico, Splash Beverage CEO, commented, “Our 2022 full year results reflect solid progress in the execution of our long-term business plan.  It was our first full year of operating results after our mid-year 2021 public offering and up-listing of our shares to the NYSE American.   We’ve grown gross revenue to more than $19 million while continuing to enhance gross margins.  We are doing the work internally to rachet down cost of goods and capture efficiencies.  We have made new investments in marketing and personnel in support of our brand’s growth and still successfully narrowed net losses on a year over year basis.  These investments resulted in significant new retail chain activity toward the back half of 2022 strengthening the base of our revenues as we head into 2023.    

“We’ve successfully accessed the capital and credit markets when we needed to grow inventory, and all the while we have been adding to our top tier distribution network across all of our brands, and most importantly with some of the largest names in the retail chain industry.  As I’ve said many times, in the beverage industry, distribution is key, if you can’t put product on the shelves, you won’t succeed.  

“We’ve invested heavily to build the infrastructure needed to put product through our distribution networks and into the hands of our consumers, and we expect the combination of infrastructure and distribution to translate into continued fast revenue growth shortening our path on our march toward profitability.”
