spk00: Good afternoon and welcome to Reed's third quarter fiscal 2021 earnings conference call for the period ending on September 30th, 2021.

spk04: Thank you and good afternoon, everyone. We appreciate you joining us today to discuss our third quarter 2021 results. Before I begin, I would like to thank Scott Grossman for serving on our board for the past four years. He has been a valued advisor and I wish him the best. I'm also pleased of Rhonda Cowman's nomination to the READS board. I have known her for close to two decades and admire her knowledge of the industry, her tenacity, and the success that she has experienced throughout her career. Her beverage experience and counsel will be invaluable in joining the READS board. We are in an exciting time as we continue to expand our presence in the RTD alcohol segment with our READS gender mule. I will now highlight the key takeaways from the third quarter and then move on to a more detailed discussion of our results before turning the call over to Tom to cover our financials. For the seventh consecutive quarter, we delivered growth in net sales, reflecting continued consumer pull as a result of on-trend innovation and distribution expansion. Third quarter sales of 13.4 million were the highest in the company history, with our second highest quarter being the first quarter of this year. During the third quarter, net sales increased to 27% compared with the prior year period as we continued to capitalize on strong demand for our products and were able to recover most of the orders from the second quarter that were pushed out due to supplier delays related to labor, aluminum cans, and swing lid glass. The recognition and authenticity of our brands in strong position relative to better-for-you offerings, consumers' taste, and natural ingredient preferences is clear based on our recent growth as well as other sales category data. Supply chain challenges remain a factor, and while we are taking steps to mitigate the impact, there are many elements that remain and will likely pressure margins for the next several quarters. We are pleased with the initial progress on cost savings and operational improvement initiatives set forth earlier in the year that have partially offset these inflationary pressures in the market. Transportation costs remain elevated. Both dry van and ocean freight costs continued above 2020 levels, impacting gross margin and delivering and handling costs. We have retained a top-tier distribution consulting firm and hired an additional logistics executive to conduct a network optimization review. We expect to see the benefit of these efforts in the first quarter of 2020-2022. We are increasing our 2021 financial guidance for net sales growth to 20%. We continue to experience strong demand across our portfolio, reflecting the power of our brands, coupled with expanding distribution and ongoing innovation. Multi-channel IRI scan data for the year-to-date period is up 11% overall, 14% in the natural enhanced channel, including an 18% increase in the REITs brand. Overall category growth is 7% in MULO and 9% in natural enhanced channels. Ginger ale continue to grow at strong rates, increasing 336% on a year-to-date basis. REITs extra and zero extra cans are up 139%, and our REED Zero extra bottles are up 40% over the same period. Our Virgil Zero line continues to perform well as scan data reflects increases of 5%, 48% in the natural enhanced category year-to-date. Velocity was up 12% on a year-to-date basis, and ACV grew approximately 5%. We were recently authorized in the Costco Southeast region with our REEDs Real Ginger Ale and are pleased with the initial results. This authorization was the result of an extremely successful Costco grand opening road show at their new Nashville, Tennessee club. We also added the Pacific Northwest with a cranberry version of our Reed's Real Ginger Ale during the current quarter. These authorizations underscore the consumer reaction to our Real is Always Better campaign. In addition to Costco, we recently added 100 ShopRite stores and increased our presence in the Sprouts chain by adding nine Virgil Zero Sugar SKUs. Ingalls where we now have 22 SKUs and Stop and Shop adding Reed's Real Ginger Ale and the Mocktail line. In addition, we also expanded our existing distribution of Smart and Final, Raley's, Hy-Vee, Hannaford, Wegmans, Big Y, and the Fresh Market. We also doubled sales on our seasonal swing lid program and added Flying Cauldron as an offering. We continue to secure alcohol distribution licensing by state to capitalize on new Reed's RTD Zero Classic mule retail distribution opportunities. We are securing new mule placements at Costco Southeast Region along with Whole Foods and Sprout stores. I'm excited to announce the expansion of our line of Reed's Real Ginger Ale Mocktails to include Lemonade Spritz and Blood Orange in addition to our Surely Tempting and Transfusion varieties. Also during 2022, we will introduce our rebranded Virgil Zero Sugar line in a 12 ounce fleet can with a new improved proprietary sweetener blend in a more contemporary look. We are proud of the new look, feel, and taste of this line and believe this will generate significant sales growth in a higher growth category. Further, we will be introducing Reed's Hard Ginger Ale, an RTD product that contains 5% alcohol by volume, 100 calories, 2 grams of carbohydrates, and no added sugar. We will launch with four flavors, mango, strawberry watermelon, pineapple coconut, and cherry lime, plus a variety pack. These products will compete in the flavored malt beverage category, a $4 billion plus market in 2020. The expansion of our DSD network with a top tier beer distributors will be a crucial component in the introduction and growth of our RTD mule and hard ginger ale product lines. I will now address third quarter results. Net sales increased 27% to $13.4 million, reflecting volume gains in both brand portfolios. We are pleased with this acceleration from the second quarter, but still encountered supply chain headwinds that impacted our ability to fulfill orders at an optimal level. We were able to recover most of the shortfall experience during the second quarter, putting us ahead of our full year 2021 guidance. The position of our brand has never been stronger. Consumers continue to be drawn to the quality, authenticity, and on-trend attributes of Reed's and Virgil's and are responding favorably to our new marketing campaign, Real is Always Better. Our strong consumer demand, expanding network of distributors and retailers, increased product offerings, and increased availability of our products on the shelf will continue to drive growth. Core brand growth sales increased 22% in the third quarter on a year-over-year basis, driven by a 25% increase in volume. Reed's case volume increased 34% and Virgil's volume was up 16%. Glue launches remain a key factor in our volume growth with an emphasis on Reed's Real Ginger Ale, zero sugar formulations, and canned versions of new and existing products. Gross margin declined by 320 basis points over the same period last year to 29%. The driver of this decline was the result of price increases in most of our raw material inputs, including corrugate, paperboard, browns, cans, honey, pineapple juice, and stevia. In addition to these elevated costs, our successful Swinglit seasonal program experienced a 10x increase in ocean freight that put further downward pressure on margins. While a favorable package mix and lower promotional discounts help partially offset these increases, we continue to aggressively pursue cost savings as these margin-positive items were not sufficient to offset the impact of inflation across raw materials, packaging, and transportation costs. Modified adjusted EBITDA loss was $3.1 million in the third quarter compared to a loss of $2 million in the third quarter of 2020. The significant driver of this increase was transportation costs. We continue to seek and implement cost-saving measures to mitigate the impact of inflation and our cost of goods. We have implemented four stocking programs for our labels and flavors, driving that cost while protecting our supply chain. We are also introducing a new and improved proprietary sweetener blend for our zero-sugar line that will maintain the bold taste our consumers demand while reducing costs and reducing the use of harder-to-source materials. We are also implementing the use of alternate materials that protect us from shortages while providing pricing advantages. We are exploring a consolidation of our core gets used in an effort to implement a four-stock program similar to what we have in place for labels and flavors. These are examples of many of the initiatives we have implemented and or are pursuing to reduce cost and improve gross margin. We also implemented a price increase to our retail and distribution partners that will absorb a portion of these raw material and transportation increases. To reduce delivery and handling costs, as I mentioned earlier, we have retained a logistics consulting firm that has worked extensively in the beverage industry with several multinational beverage companies to conduct a network optimization study. We have also hired an experienced logistics executive to partner with the consultants to assist with the review and to implement its findings. We believe there are several significant opportunities in several areas of our logistics operations. At the time of our last call, we believed that transportation costs would return to prior years levels and supply chain disruptions would abate. As such, we expected to have plenty of capacity on our line of credit to make it through 2021 and even through a majority of 2022. Contrary to expectations, our assessment has changed, and we expect that freight costs will remain elevated and supply chain impediments will continue to cause disruption into 2022. Our strategy of protecting our supply chain will not only provide a path to meet our projected growth, but will create additional opportunities. We will be opportunistic to ensure that we can continue to operate from a position of strength. This position will allow us to take advantage of sales opportunities when others cannot meet the demand. As a result, we will continue to build inventory and invest in our operating infrastructure. In summary, demand for our products remain very strong across our entire portfolio, and we are excited about our current and future innovation that resulted in a strategic pivot from a company selling full sugar beverages and glass packaging to a limited number of sales channels to a more diverse portfolio that is meeting the needs of today's consumers in terms of natural and healthy attributes, great tasting, convenient, more environmentally sustainable packages, and multi-channel retail outlets. Our focus on platform optimization to deliver improved profitability as we scale has also continued to show solid progress. And as we expected, we have picked up the pace from last quarter's shipment delays. With that, let me turn the call over to Tom Spiesak to discuss our financial results in more detail.
spk02: Tom? Thank you very much, Norm. It's a pleasure to speak with everyone today. As Norm discussed, during the third quarter, we continue to see strong demand from consumers and retailers across both the REEDS and Virgil's portfolios. We continue to seek and implement cost savings initiatives to offset the rising raw material costs, and high freight costs, which put pressure on our margins and net income. Third quarter net sales increased 27% to $13.4 million, compared with $10.6 million in the prior year period. As Norm mentioned, core brand sales were up 22%, including a 25% increase in volume, reflecting 34% case growth for the Reed's brand and 16% case growth for the Virgil's brand. Gross profit increased 14% to $3.9 million compared to $3.4 million in the prior year due to increased sales as well as lower discounts. Gross margin was 29% in the third quarter of 2021, a decrease of 320 basis points versus the prior year period. Supply chain pressures were the primary factor affecting Q3 gross margin. Delivery and handling costs totaled 3.1 million in the second quarter, an increase of 40% compared to last year due to volume growth, e-commerce fulfillment costs, and higher freight rates. Delivery and handling costs were 23% of net sales and $3.89 per case, compared to 21% of net sales and $3.46 per case during the same period last year. As Norm mentioned earlier, we have retained a distribution consulting firm that works with several of the large multinational beverage companies to perform a freight study to optimize freight costs. Selling and marketing costs were 2.6 million during the third quarter compared to 1.9 million in the last year's third quarter. The increase was primarily driven by headcount growth in our sales force and higher stock compensation. As a percentage of net sales, Sales and marketing costs were 20% in the third quarter of 2021 versus 18% in the prior year period. General and administrative expenses were $1.8 million in the third quarter compared to $1.6 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses were 13% in the third quarter of 2021 versus 15% in the prior year period. The year-over-year decrease was attributable to higher sales and lower professional costs. The third quarter operating loss was 3.7 million compared to an operating loss of 2.3 million in the prior year. Interest expense was 200,000, down 100,000 versus the same period last year. On a per share basis, we reported EPS of negative 4 cents, flat with a year ago. Our weighted average share count was 93.6 million, in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $62.9 million a year ago reflecting capital raises over the past year. Modified EBITDA loss was $3.1 million compared to a loss of $2 million in the prior year period. Moving to the balance sheet and cash flows, we ended the third quarter with $900,000 of cash and $8.3 million of outstanding borrowing. The total facility has $13 million of borrowing capacity or an incremental $4.7 million, including the $1.3 million of availability on our revolving line of credit. Cash used in operating activities on a year-to-date basis was $15.3 million compared to $6.8 million during the first nine months of 2020. Higher inventory to support our growth as well as efforts to mitigate supply chain issues drove higher use of cash year to date, along with the increase in our net loss. Turning to guidance, we are raising our full year guidance for net sales growth to 20% from the prior range of 14% to 16%. While our margin enhancement initiatives have begun to take hold, rising input costs freight, and the need to supplement our canned supplies have us lowering our fiscal year 2021 gross margin guidance to approximately 30% from the prior range of 31% to 32%. Our gross margin guidance assumes our known pricing for ingredients, packaging, and production costs, each of which has been and could continue to be impacted by factors related to COVID-19. Now let me turn the call back to Norm for some concluding remarks. Norm?
spk04: Thanks, Tom. Before I turn the call back to the operator for questions, I'd like to reiterate that we believe there will be constant challenges throughout the balance of this year and during 2022, but we are continuing and will continue to show strong sales growth, and we will successfully offset the pressure on gross margin and transportation costs. Our entry into the larger ginger ale category with our Reed's Real Ginger Ale is contributing to our growth, and we still have considerable opportunity to fill out distribution. We are excited about our new and rebranded products that will enter the market during 2022. We have built an extensive national cold packer network to support our growth and have significant opportunity to improve margin. We are focused on controlling costs, improving gross margin, and enhancing our supply chain. We remain flexible and prudent as we navigate the current environment, and we will continue to adapt to keep our employees and partners safe and our inventory on the shelf and available for our valued customers. Moving forward, we are focused on advancing our growth opportunity and defending our margins and are excited for the path that lies ahead. I will now hand the call over to the operator to begin the question and answer session.
spk00: We will now begin the question and answer session. To ask a question, you may press star then 1 on your telephone keypad. If you're using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. To withdraw your question, please press star then 2. At this time, we will pause momentarily to assemble our roster.
spk06: Our first question comes from Chris Vakosky, a private investor.
spk00: You may go ahead.
spk01: Hello, and congratulations on the great results. Thank you. Yeah, sure. I've been asking you or trying to get you to commit to not issuing any more shares. And I have to congratulate you also on not issuing any shares throughout this last couple of quarters while growing sales and inventory. But do you think you'll be able to hold on? Because while the results are great, the share price isn't going up. And it would be really painful to issue shares at such low prices?
spk04: Yes. Thank you, Chris. Yeah, we believe our share price does not appropriately reflect the value of this company. We're with you there. Obviously, our goal is to maintain shareholder value, and we will do the best we can to preserve and increase that value. However, we're going to remain flexible and keep as many options open. But right now, there are no plans to move forward in that direction. You know, one of the things that I wanted to point out is we still, there's approximately $5 million left of availability that's happened due on our line of credit. So, you know, there's still some flexibility that remains.
spk01: Well, that's good to hear. Regarding supply chain concerns, can you give us any kind of directional guidance? Are they getting better? Are they still as bad? Are they getting worse?
spk04: It depends on the category. I think we're ahead of it. It does remain challenging, but We believe it's going to remain a challenge, but we are trying to work and mitigate as many things as possible so there'll be less disruption.
spk01: Okay, that's good to hear. And I also wanted to ask about seasonality. You know, when your sales grow so fast, you may not be able to rely on past seasonality. So now that it's getting colder... Do you see yourselves continuing at a strong pace, or are you becoming kind of like a summer drink?
spk04: No, one of the, I think, benefits that we have with our portfolio is we are not as seasonal as traditional beverage companies. You know, we tend to have a little bit of decline in the first quarter after the holidays. but we rebound pretty quickly. So for three of the four quarters, our sales remain pretty strong, and historically they've been that way. And I think the products that we have really help mitigate that seasonality.
spk01: Okay, that's good to hear. It's good to hear that that's continuing even at your highest sales levels. All right, that's it for me. Good luck.
spk06: Thank you.
spk05: Our next question comes from Anthony Vendetti with Maxim Group. You may go ahead.
spk07: Thank you. As you and others are dealing with the supply chain norm issues and higher prices for shipping and freight and so forth, warehousing distribution, can you talk about your ability to take some price increases? Have you tried to do that? If so, has there been any resistance from your customer base?
spk04: Anthony, we just implemented a price increase, and the good news is the whole world did. So we didn't really get a lot of pushback. You know, we'll continue to look at that. Look, I'm a firm believer, and as I was reading off our ingredients, you know, the quality ingredients that we use and where they come from and the painstaking process we do in preparation of our products, our products are undervalued. So I think over time there's probably more room there. But I think, you know, we put out a great quality product and unfortunately when you do that and you use the ingredients that we use, we're going to be subject to it. But I think we've been really quick to make adjustments, to negotiate with our vendors, and do the things that we have to do to offset those inflationary factors, but also maintain the quality of our product.
spk07: Sure, that makes sense. And then on the distribution side, I know you've been trying to increase your DSD. How's that been progressing and any updates on that?
spk04: Our sales team has done an excellent job in not just increasing our DSP coverage, but the quality of it and what they've been able to accomplish. So, you know, unfortunately, I can't put up a screen for everybody to see, but if you saw a distribution map, you know, we called the the space that's not being covered, white space, and the white space on the map of the United States is really starting to shrink. So we're really excited, particularly as we get into that alcohol sector. We've got a great number of top-tier Anheuser-Busch and Miller Coors distributors that are really excited about our product entries, and we really think it'll take us to the next level.
spk07: Yes, particularly, I think you're spot on, right? You're talking about Reed's Hard Ginger Ale. That's a very large category. So that's 5% alcohol. What's the exact, can you get a little more detail in when you exactly expect to launch it? Have you circled the date yet? And when you launch it, how do you intend to roll that out?
spk04: We're going to launch it at the end of the first quarter, so to really start rolling in and have an impact in Q2. We're going to, we have several geographic areas, and we have a couple that we're gonna really focus on that have executed well, and then move on from there. So we don't wanna, and you hear this a lot with companies about going a mile wide and an inch deep, we're going to go a mile deep and an inch wide and really go from geographic territory to geographic territory. But where we've had success already with our RTD mule and some other distribution opportunities.
spk07: Sure, that makes sense. And then can you talk about the different channels, the progress you're making in the convenience channel, any update on 7-Eleven? or any of the other channels that you're trying to increase penetration?
spk04: Well, obviously, you know, we've done really well at Walmart, Target, and then, you know, adding Costco, which was a big pickup for us. We're excited. We're focusing on on-premise. We're focusing in liquor stores. We're focusing in drug. Right now, our team is meeting with convenience store buyers. And the reaction has actually been a lot more favorable than I thought in terms of the variety of products that we have and the interest. So, you know, it's a multi-pronged approach going through several channels that initially we've been really excited about both authorizations but also how our products have performed in market. So I think there's more coming... more coming... you know, in Q1 of next year.
spk07: Okay, great. And then just on the gross margin side, you know, for example, Reed's, Hard Ginger Ale, or some of the new products that you're launching, the Virgil's new product, are these going to be higher margin products than your current corporate gross margin or in line with your current corporate gross margin?
spk04: Higher. I made a secret pact with Tom that we have a certain threshold that we're not above. We're not going to go ahead and do it. So we're motivated to make it work. And these are all accretive in terms of gross margin. And in fact, all of our new product entries from, you know, ginger ale to the mocktails have all been margin accretive. So we, you know, we looked at that's going to really propel that number higher.
spk07: Okay, excellent. That's it for me right now. I'll hop back in the queue.
spk06: Appreciate it.
spk05: Our next question, pardon me.
spk00: Again, if you have a question, please press star then one. Our next question comes from Jack Hire, retail. You may now go ahead.
spk03: Hey, how you doing, guys? I wanted to touch on... ronda's nomination to the board and kind of maybe doing a little bit of uh reading between the lines here is uh are there any sort of plans and you know to have a possible strategic shift to focus on skus that might perform better in particular kind of you know in the line of alcoholic beverages i think you know in recent uh months we've seen that's kind of like the hot topic in um consumer beverages is who is putting out things that contain alcohol in them. I know you just announced the new hard ginger ale, but can we expect maybe more stuff in the pipeline related to alcohol-specific drinks?
spk04: Well, I think we have to get the hard ginger ale first before we really entertain any additional items. We're excited about that. We're excited about us assuming majority of the distribution for our mule this year. Really want to get those things off the ground and going before we think about other items downstream. Obviously, we're trying to really leverage. I think the key is we're trying to leverage everything ginger. That's been our mantra. If you look, what we've done is You know, we've graduated from the $100 million ginger beer category to the $1.3 billion ginger ale category to the over $4 billion flavored malt beverage category, and there's no real big player in there that has a ginger ale-based drink. And, you know, who represents ginger better than reeds? So I think we're going to start there, and we believe we can drive significant growth. Obviously, Rhonda has great beverage experience, and it's not just related to the alcohol beverage category or the beer distribution network. She knows the business well, she knows the landscape, so we're gonna leverage her beverage experience across all portfolios, but obviously lean on her as we grow that distribution. And I think we'll start there first before we decide, you know, what other opportunities. But I think the key thing that's consistent here is that we're leveraging our strengths, Ginger, what we do well and what we're known for and feel really comfortable about it. And we're not going into, you know, new territory that we don't have any experience in.
spk03: Sure, sure. I think that's pretty logical and I appreciate the insight and kind of breakdown on it. The only other question I was kind of curious about is I'd be remiss if I didn't ask about SEC compliance and with our stock price where it's at. I think primarily most people on this call both know and wish it was higher, but are there any lingering concerns with maintaining compliance going forward? I know Um, it's, it's pretty much asked every time we have one of these calls and we're below a buck, but you know, I figured I'd throw it out there.
spk04: Yeah. I mean, if you go back in time, we were as low as 37 and a half cents and we were able to get it over the dollar threshold. Um, you know, we were, we were trading around 70 cents before this call. Uh, I'm optimistic with the progress that we've made. I mean, look, seven consecutive quarters of really sustained growth, right? and we're feeling good about the future and about our opportunities. Obviously, you know, the impacts of COVID have had some downward pressure on our margin, but we've fought back. You know, we are addressing transportation and, you know, one of the things I didn't talk about is a lot of these new products, including our heart and trail, are migrating to cans. We can get more cans on a truck than you can bottle, so that'll bring those costs down on a per case basis. So we believe if we continue to execute and grow this business the way we are, that the stock price will move up. And as I said earlier, I think it's incredibly undervalued and a great opportunity to come in and buy REIT stock.
spk03: Cool. Thanks. I appreciate it as always. Keep up the good work and hang in there. I think it's going to get better.
spk06: Thanks, Jack.
spk05: This concludes our question and answer session.
spk00: I would like to turn the conference back over to Norm Snyder for any closing remarks.
spk04: Thank you. Thank you again for your continued support and participating on today's call. A replay of the webcast will be archived on their company's website under the investor section at drinkreads.com for approximately 90 days. We look forward to sharing our progress over the coming quarters and years.
spk06: Have a great day. Thank you. The conference is now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.
