BRC Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Net Revenue Increases 26% in Q3 2022 to $75.5 million

Wholesale Business Grows 66% with Entry Into Food, Drug, and Mass Channel

BRC Inc. (NYSE: BRCC), a rapidly growing and mission-driven premium coffee company founded to support veterans, active-duty military, first responders and serve a broad customer base by connecting consumers with great coffee and a unique brand experience, today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022.

“Overall, we were pleased with our performance in the third quarter, which was largely driven by our continued success in the RTD (Ready-to-Drink) market and entry into the FDM (Food, Drug & Mass) channel in collaboration with Walmart,” said BRCC Founder and Chief Executive Officer Evan Hafer. “In the quarter, our RTD line continued to be the fastest growing single serve RTD coffee across all channels of trade, outpacing the RTD Coffee Category growth by 4.5x. As we look to meet this growing demand from our loyal and growing community, we continue to invest in evolving our omnichannel business model.”

“While we were only on shelves for a few weeks in Q3, the results from our launch with Walmart have been very positive. Our entry into the FDM channel unlocks significant incremental opportunity to build brand awareness and ensures customers can purchase our products in more places where they shop. We’re confident that Walmart is the right partner, not only in customer alignment, but also in working with us to stay true to our mission of helping veterans, first responders, active military and their families by donating a portion of our coffee sales to veteran and first responder charities. Further, as we evolve our business model and demonstrate progress on our path to profitability, we are optimistic that our entry into the FDM channel will contribute significant incremental growth, revenue and brand awareness.”

Third Quarter 2022 Results

Third quarter 2022 revenue increased 26% to $75.5 million from $60.1 million in the third quarter of 2021. Excluding the RTD production issue discussed below, revenue increased 27% to $76.1 million in the third quarter of 2022. Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) revenue increased 2% to $38.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $37.5 million during the third quarter of 2021. Wholesale revenue increased 66% to $32.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $19.5 million in the third quarter of 2021. Excluding the RTD production issue, Wholesale revenue increased 69% to $32.8 million. Outpost revenue increased 65% to $5.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2021. The DTC performance was primarily driven by an increase in pricing on bagged coffee, partially offset by lower sales from non-subscription customers. The Wholesale channel performance was primarily driven by entry into FDM and growth in our RTD product. The Outpost channel performance was driven by an increase in our company-owned store count, which increased to eleven in the third quarter of 2022 from four company-owned outposts in the third quarter of 2021.

Gross profit decreased to $23.9 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $24.1 million in the third quarter of 2021. Excluding the RTD production issue, gross profit increased 14% to $27.4 million. Gross margin decreased 830 basis points to 32% from 40% for the third quarter of 2021. Excluding the RTD production issue, gross margin decreased 403 basis points to 36% from 40% for the third quarter of 2021. Other than as a result of the impact of the RTD production issue, the decrease in gross profit and gross margin was driven by increases in the cost of green coffee and RTD ingredients as well as a continued shift in our product mix, as our RTD has a higher product cost and lower gross margin as compared to bagged coffee.

Marketing expenses decreased 24% to $7.4 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $9.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. As a percentage of revenue, marketing expenses decreased 650 basis points to 10% in the third quarter of 2022 versus 16% in the third quarter of 2021. This decrease was driven by strategic reductions in lower yielding advertising and growth in our Wholesale and Outpost Channels, which require a lower marketing spend than DTC.

Salaries, wages and benefits increased 50% to $15.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2021. As a percentage of revenue, salaries, wages and benefits increased 350 basis points to 21% in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to 18% for the third quarter of 2021. Increase in salaries, wages, and benefits are primarily due to increased employee headcount to support our significant sales growth, especially investments in key positions to support the growth of our Wholesale and Outpost channels.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses increased 137% to $16.3 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $6.9 million in the third quarter of 2021. As a percentage of revenue, G&A increased 1,010 basis points to 22% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 11% in the third quarter of 2021. This increase is primarily related to consulting and other professional services needed to support the rapid growth of our business across multiple sales channels and additional support to operate as a publicly traded company.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $16.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $(5.3) million. This compares to net loss of $4.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2021.

RTD Production Start-up

We experienced two issues with one of our new co-manufacturers in getting from trial runs to full production, which impacted our third quarter results and is also expected to have an impact on our fourth quarter results. The first issue was caused by an equipment failure and the second issue was due to delayed raw materials as a result of supply chain disruptions. Both issues have been resolved and we are now shipping full production runs from our co-manufacturers.

The equipment issue resulted in the Company voluntarily withdrawing inventory from the market. As a result, we expect to issue credits of approximately $0.6 million to affected customers and have recorded this as a reduction to revenue. In addition, the Company recorded $2.875 million to cost of goods sold relating to replacing such customers’ products and the write off of affected inventory that was determined to no longer be salable. Because the conditions relating to the withdrawal existed for product that was produced as of September 30, 2022, the date of our consolidated balance sheet, these amounts were recorded in our consolidated financial statements as of such date. An additional $0.6 million of product that was determined to not be salable was produced subsequent to September 30, 2022, and will be reflected as expenses in the fourth quarter 2022.

Outlook

Due to these two RTD production issues we are reducing our fourth quarter 2022 revenue outlook to be within a range of $90 to $95 million. Additionally, we remain optimistic with the 2023 revenue outlook of $500 million and adjusted EBITDA margin of low to mid-single digits that we provided last quarter.

The outlooks provided above constitutes forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the "Forward-Looking Statements" safe harbor section below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

Financing Update

In November 2022, Authentic Brands entered into a new $65.0 million Senior Credit Facility (the "Senior Credit Facility"). Additionally, prior to closing, we repaid the $14.0 million outstanding under our existing credit facility, which terminated upon closing of our Senior Credit Facility. This new Senior Credit Facility significantly enhances our liquidity, which we believe will support our growth of well in excess of $500 million of annual revenues.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To evaluate the performance of our business, we rely on both our results of operations recorded in accordance with GAAP and certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. These measures, as defined below, are not defined or calculated under principles, standards or rules that comprise GAAP. Accordingly, the non-GAAP financial measures we use and refer to should not be viewed as a substitute for performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as a substitute for a measure of liquidity. Our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA described below are specific to our business and you should not assume that they are comparable to similarly titled financial measures of other companies. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, state income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, excluding certain non-cash fair value adjustments, as adjusted for equity-based compensation, system implementation costs, transaction expenses, executive recruiting, severance and sign-on bonus, outpost pre-opening expenses, strategic initiative related costs, certain ongoing de-SPAC related legal disputes, write-off of site development costs, RTD production issue and contract termination costs. When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental measures of operating performance because it facilitates comparisons of historical performance by excluding non-cash items such as equity-based payments and other amounts not directly attributable to our primary operations, such as the impact of system implementation, acquisitions, disposals, executive searches, executive severance, non-routine investigations, litigation and settlements. Adjusted EBITDA is also a key metric used internally by our management to evaluate performance and develop internal budgets and forecasts. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin, as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP and may not provide a complete understanding of our operating results as a whole. Some of these limitations are (i) they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs, (ii) they do not reflect our interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt, (iii) they do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes, (iv) they do not reflect historical capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, (v) although equity-based compensation expenses are non-cash charges, we rely on equity compensation to compensate and incentivize employees, directors and certain consultants, and we may continue to do so in the future and (vi) although depreciation, amortization and impairments are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and these non-GAAP measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

We are also presenting certain financial measures without giving effect to the RTD production issue discussed above, given the one-time, non-recurring nature of the RTD production issue. A reconciliation of such financial measures (non-GAAP) vs. the related GAAP measures is set forth below (in thousands):
