Neal
Cohane, Reed’s interim CEO, stated, “The third quarter marked another step forward in our operating performance, with continued
progress on gross margin and cost discipline. During the quarter, we focused on expanding retail coverage through our national broker
network, adding new placements and doors, restructuring e-commerce fulfillment to reduce costs, improving trade spend efficiency, and
rebalancing our cost structure.”
“We
continue to make quarter-over-quarter progress. In the third quarter, gross margin expanded 100 basis points sequentially to 25%, selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased 24% sequentially, and net loss decreased 26% sequentially. We also strengthened our balance
sheet by refinancing our senior secured loan and, subsequent to quarter end, closing a $10.0 million private placement. Looking ahead,
we expect to deliver sequential operating improvements as we continue to focus on strengthening sales execution, expanding gross margins,
and maintaining cost discipline.”

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Definition of the non-GAAP measure used by Reed’s and a reconciliation of such measure
to the related GAAP financial measure can be found under the sections below titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation
of GAAP Financial Measure to Non-GAAP Financial Measure.”
During
and subsequent to the third quarter, Reed’s continued to execute the corrective actions initiated earlier this year to stabilize
the business, improve operational performance, and position the Company for profitable growth, resulting in the following developments:
| ● | Strengthened
the balance sheet by refinancing the Company’s $9.25 million senior secured loan and,
subsequent to quarter end, closing a $10.0 million private placement. |
| ● | Expanded
retail coverage through the Company’s national broker network, adding new placements
and doors, as well as regaining distribution with several national and regional retail accounts. |
| ● | Reduced
promotional and other allowances. |
| ● | Restructured
e-commerce operations by transitioning to a third-party fulfillment model. |
| ● | Continued
progress optimizing selling, general and administrative expenses. |
Third
Quarter 2026 Financial Results
During
the third quarter of 2026, net sales were $6.5 million, compared to $7.0 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily
driven by lower volumes with recurring national customers, partially offset by lower promotional and other allowances.
Gross
profit for the third quarter of 2026 increased 34% to $1.6 million, compared to $1.2 million in the prior year period. Gross margin expanded
to 25% compared to 17% in the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by lower promotional and other allowances and lower
cost of goods per case, which decreased to $13.26 from $13.73 in the prior year period.
Delivery
and handling expenses decreased by 10% to $1.0 million during the third quarter of 2026, compared to $1.1 million in the third quarter
of 2025, primarily driven by the net sales decrease and continuing improvements in logistics efficiency and freight optimization. Delivery
and handling costs were 15% of net sales, or $2.69 per case, compared to 16% of net sales, or $2.60 per case, during the same period
last year.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased 15% to $3.6 million, compared to $4.2 million in the prior-year period. The decrease was
primarily driven by continuing efforts to optimize selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by investment in personnel
and related services to support the Company’s Asia growth initiative.
Net
loss during the third quarter of 2026 improved to $3.2 million, or $(0.27) per share, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million, or $(0.48)
per share, in the prior year period.
EBITDA1
loss improved to $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to an EBITDA loss of $3.6 million in the year-ago period.
Liquidity
and Cash Flow
For
the third quarter of 2026, cash used in operations improved to $0.3 million, compared to cash used in operations of $2.8 million in the
year-ago period.
As
of September 30, 2026, the Company had $2.1 million of cash and $9.25 million of total debt, compared to $10.4 million of cash and $9.2
million of total debt net of deferred financing fees as of December 31, 2025.
On
September 30, 2026, the Company refinanced its $9.25 million senior secured loan, extending its maturity to June 30, 2027, with an option
to extend for an additional three months, subject to certain conditions. Subsequent to quarter end, on November 9, 2026, the Company
closed a private placement pursuant to which it issued and sold an aggregate of 17,421,602 shares of common stock for aggregate gross
proceeds of $10.0 million. The closing of the transaction satisfied the equity contribution requirement under the Company’s amended
credit agreement. Reed’s intends to use the net proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Non-GAAP
Financial Measures
In
addition to our U.S. GAAP results, the Company presents EBITDA as a supplemental measure of its performance. However, EBITDA is not a
recognized measurement under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other
performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of
liquidity. The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss), plus interest expense, tax expense, and depreciation and amortization.
Management
considers its core operating performance to be that which the Company’s managers can affect in any particular period through their
management of the resources that affect the Company’s underlying revenue and profit generating operations during that period. Non-GAAP
adjustments to the Company’s results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these
adjustments and the reasons the Company considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating EBITDA, you should be aware
that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. The
Company’s presentation of EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual
or non-recurring items.
The
Company presents EBITDA because it believes it assists investors and analysts in comparing the Company’s performance across reporting
periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance.
In addition, the Company uses EBITDA in developing its internal budgets, forecasts and strategic plan; in analyzing the effectiveness
of its business strategies; in evaluating potential acquisitions; making compensation decisions; and in communications with its board
of directors concerning its financial performance. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, which includes, among others, the following:
| ● | EBITDA
does not reflect the Company’s cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital
expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| ● | EBITDA
does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital
needs; |
| ● | EBITDA
does not reflect future interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest
or principal payments, on the Company’s debts; and |
| ● | Although
depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized
will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements
for such replacements. |
