Management Commentary

"In the second quarter of 2025, we built on the solid foundation laid in the first quarter, making meaningful strides in our strategic turnaround and are maintaining strong early momentum," said Scott Harvey, CEO of Jones Soda. "Most significantly, the second quarter marked a return to positive net income of $2.6 million, primarily driven by the gain on the sale of our Cannabis business. While this milestone highlights the immediate financial benefit of the divestiture, it also reflects our team's continued focus on operating efficiently and managing expenses effectively. This strategic portfolio refinement has streamlined operations and sharpened our focus, enabling us to dedicate our full attention to strengthening and growing our core beverage business."

"With a disciplined cost structure and clear operational levers, we are prioritizing driving top-line growth across our three main categories: core soda, modern soda, and adult beverages. Our priority remains accelerating sales through strategic partnerships while continuing to strengthen relationships with our suppliers to capture market opportunities in all channels. Overall, Jones is well-positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities in the soda and beverage market as we continue refine our brand, optimize operations, and advance our strategic sales initiatives."

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Revenue in the second quarter of 2025 was $4.9 million compared to $6.7 million in the prior year period. This included $0.8 million from sales of its HD9 products, compared to $0.6 in the second quarter of 2024.  The decline in revenue was primarily attributable to a large one-time pipeline fill in the second quarter of 2024. This was partially offset by growth in, direct to consumer, food service, convenience stores and HD9 products.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2025 was $1.6 million compared to $2.3 million in the year-ago period. The decline was primarily driven by the lower sales revenue.

Total operating expenses in the second quarter of 2025 were $2.4 million compared to $4.0 million in the year-ago period. The decrease was primarily driven by the continued cost management and supply chain optimization efforts.

Net income increased to $2.6 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.6 million, or $(0.02) per share. The increase in net income was primarily driven by the gain on sale of its Cannabis businesses as well as the decreases in selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA² was $(0.5) million compared to $(1.2) million and an improvement of $0.7 million or 56% over the prior year.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Information

This press release contains disclosure of the Company's Adjusted EBITDA which is 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 and income, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation. We have included a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss under "Jones Soda Co. Non-GAAP Reconciliation" at the end of 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 management evaluates 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 the Company's current ability to generate cash flow. Adjusted EBITDA 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.
