Management Commentary

“In the third quarter of 2022 we continued to build the foundation for long-term growth with ongoing revenue execution and location expansion,” said Jay Kim, Chief Executive Officer of Reborn. “During the quarter we passed a crucial milestone on our journey with the transition to a Nasdaq listed public company and the addition of new capital to accelerate our growth strategy. With revenue growth driven by strong customer demand, new product innovation and effective operational execution across our retail locations, we are highly focused on our expansion strategy goals supported by proceeds from our recent IPO.

“We recently announced plans to open new company-owned retail locations in Southern California in Cabazon, Huntington Beach, Irvine and Mission Viejo. At each new location, our focus is on creating an inviting store atmosphere which is designed for comfort and convenience at shopping plazas and upscale areas. We continue to believe we have sufficient cash to meet our current pipeline of new locations without the need to raise additional funds. Once these locations are open, we will have a total count of fourteen locations in California.

“Looking ahead, we are highly focused on the openings for our new locations. The Cabazon, Huntington Beach and Irvine locations are expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2022, and the Mission Viejo location is expected to open in the first quarter of 2023. We are also highly focused on increasing our customer base and sales, and growing Average Unit Volumes, at our existing stores. We are aggressively moving forward on strategically expanding our footprint in existing and new markets and developing our franchise opportunity. Additionally, new innovative coffee and complementary products produced by experienced co-packers will broaden our reach beyond our retail locations into B2B and DTC sales. Taken together, we believe we are well-positioned to reach our goals for sustained operational execution and year-over-year revenue growth. I look forward to reporting on exciting milestones in the months ahead as we strive to create sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders,” concluded Kim.

Anticipated Milestones

  • Open up to 40 company-owned retail locations.
  • 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.
  • Joint R&D projects with coffee farms in locations such as Hawaii and Colombia.
  • Expand B2B marketing to wholesale clubs and other major outlets and expand ecommerce marketing.
  • Launch new Reborn-branded products such as cascara tea packs, red tea bag packs, cold brew cans and super premium ice cream.

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Revenues were approximately $0.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, compared to approximately $0.7 million for the comparable period in 2021, representing an increase of 22%. Revenue increased 52% in the nine months ending September 30, 2022 to approximately $2.4 million, up from approximately $1.6 million for the comparable period in 2021. The increase in sales for the periods was primarily driven by the opening of the Laguna Woods, Riverside and San Francisco locations, and to the continued focus on marketing efforts to grow brand recognition.
