Management Commentary
“The second and third quarters of 2022 were significant milestones for our company with our transition to a public company and the addition of new capital to accelerate our growth strategy,” said Jay Kim, Chief Executive Officer of Reborn. “We believe our Nasdaq listing will help elevate the Company's public profile, expand our stockholder base, improve liquidity and enhance stockholder value. The net proceeds to Reborn from the IPO amounted to
“During the second quarter we delivered strong revenue performance from strong customer demand for our high quality, specialty-roasted coffee in shopping plazas and upscale areas at our nine retail locations. As pioneers of the emerging ‘Fourth Wave’ movement, we are redefining specialty coffee as an experience that demands much more than premium quality. We are committed to constantly developing our bean processing methods, researching design concepts, reinventing new ways of drinking coffee at our locations, and growing wholesale and online operations.”
“Looking ahead, with support from the IPO capital, we will continue to execute on our rapid growth as we strategically expand our footprint in existing and new markets. We are focused on expanding our customer base at new retail stores with inviting atmospheres designed for comfort and convenience, as well as through sales of pour over packs and whole bean ground coffee bags. We have four additional company-owned retail locations in Southern California in development (which, once opened, will bring our total count to thirteen) and are developing our franchise opportunity. We expect to provide additional announcements on our new location pipeline timeline in the coming weeks.”
Stephan Kim, Chief Financial Officer of Reborn, added, “Combined with our successful IPO, we expect that current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to support current operations into 2023. We believe we now have sufficient cash to meet our current pipeline of new locations without the need to raise additional funds.”
“As a fully reporting public company, and from a best practices perspective, we will commence a cadence of quarterly and year-end financial results conference calls for analysts and investors. We look forward to this additional communication as we work to bring long-term value to our stockholders,” concluded Kim.

- Open 4 flagship locations in the U.S., targeting cities such as San Francisco, San Diego, Houston, and Kansas City.
- Open 4 overseas locations outside the U.S., targeting countries such as South Korea, Austria, and Dubai.
