IRVINE, CA–(Marketwired – November 13, 2015) – True Drinks, Inc. (OTC PINK: TRUU), makers of the zero-sugar, vitamin-enhanced AquaBall™ Naturally Flavored Water, today announces its financial results for the third quarter of 2015.
Achievements in Third Quarter of 2015:
- Revenues for Third Quarter up 24% over year ago period;
- Agreed to Bottling Agreement with Niagara Bottling LLC which was signed in October;
- Extended Disney Licensing Agreement through March 2017;
- Extended Marvel Licensing Agreement through December 2017;
- New Distribution agreements with Savemart Stores, Food Maxx, and B&B Distributors;
- Same store sales grew from $20.56 per store per week to $48.32 per week versus same period last year, the highest in the category.
Lance Leonard, Chief Executive Officer of True Drinks, commented, “This past quarter, we have focused on one objective, to improve supply chain efficiency and create supply to meet our demand. With the announcement of our partnership with Niagara Bottling, we have accomplished this goal. We now have the product availability that will allow us to go after high-volume retailers and enter into new channels such as natural foods, schools and casual dining.” He added, “Our same stores sales are strong and our ability to capture more consumers with our healthy kids drink has never been stronger, and we anticipate tripling our business in 2016 with the added capacity.”
Kevin Sherman, Chief Marketing Officer of True Drinks, added, “The significance of AquaBall’s new clean label and preservative free formulation cannot be overlooked. The simplicity of the ingredient list, comprised of only four ingredients (purified water, stevia, vitamins and natural fruit flavors) only further differentiates the brand as the true leader in healthy beverages for children. Consumers want nutrition to be simplified, and we have accomplished this with our new formulation for children.”
Dan Kerker, Chief Financial Officer of True Drinks, commented, “Operational improvements have been a focus for True Drinks. Our partnership with Niagara not only provides us with hot-fill capabilities, but our cost of goods sold will decrease by over 15% and will be consistent moving forward. Our working capital needs will be greatly reduced as we will be purchasing finished goods as they ship rather than procuring raw materials. Additional savings come from the elimination of storage expenses and the reduction of freight expenses, as we will be able to ship 69% more bottles per truckload. These improvements will allow True Drinks to focus resources on the sales and marketing of AquaBall.”
