THE ALKALINE WATER COMPANY REPORTS FISCAL YEAR 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Sales up more than 570% over prior year
Company Provides Guidance for Fiscal 2016
SCOTTSDALE, AZ (MARKETWIRED July 15, 2015) The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (OTCQB: WTER) (the "Company"), developers of an innovative state of the art proprietary electrolysis beverage process packaged and sold in 500ml, 700ml, 1-liter, 3-liter and 1-gallon sizes under the trade name Alkaline88, has announced financial results for twelve months ended March 31, 2015.
Full-Fiscal Year 2015 Financial Results and Highlights
Revenue for the year-ended March 31, 2015 was $3,700,476, as compared to $552,699 for the same period ended March 31, 2014, an increase of 570%. The increase in revenue is due to increased product distribution to retailers and continued sell through to consumers.
The Companys gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the year was 31.6%, as compared to 25.5% for the same period in 2014, an increase of 24%. The increase in gross profit is a result of reduced raw material cost through greater volume purchases from our suppliers.
During the year ended March 31, 2015, our total operating expenses were $8,082,158, as compared to $4,421,353 for the year ended March 31, 2014. For the year ended March 31, 2015, the total included $1,386,671 of sales and marketing expenses and $6,520,451 of general and administrative expenses, consisting primarily of $2,428,782 of stock option compensation expense, $1,301,477 in stock compensation expense and $646,244 of professional fees.
Our stock and stock option compensation expense was incurred as a part of our issuance of certain stock options and stock grants to employees and key consultants to develop our business. Although a non-cash expense, the value of such issuances had a material impact on our general and administrative expenses for the year ended March 31, 2015.
For the year ended March 31, 2014, the total included $464,083 of sales and marketing expenses and $3,852,773 of general and administrative expenses, consisting primarily of approximately $2,225,736 of stock option compensation expense, $426,555 in stock compensation expense and $541,158 of professional fees.
Net loss for the year ended March 31, 2015 was $(7,139,449), as compared to a loss of $(4,229,513) for the same period ended March 31, 2014. Included in the net loss was stock option compensation expense, stock compensation expense and professional fees totaling $4,376,503. For fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, the comparable amount was $3,193,449. The total of such cost for the two year period combined is now $7,569,952.
Management Comment
The fiscal year 2015 was highlighted by the rapid expansion of the number of top retailers that are now selling Alkaline88. As of the end of our 2015 fiscal year, we are now in over 16,000 stores, in 34 of the top 75 retailers in the country and in all 50 states. We are now the number one selling alkaline water in Southern California. The acceptance of our brand by consumers has been tremendous, stated Mr. Steven Nickolas, President and CEO of the Company.
To meet this demand we have increased our production capacity threefold over the prior year by adding new co-packing plants and machinery throughout the country. This increase in capacity should soon allow us to produce and sell up to $2,000,000 of water wholesale per month. We have also further expanded our product line to include single serving 500 mL, 700 mL, and 1 L bottles to be sold along with our original bulk size 3 L and 1-gallon products. We see the expansion of the single serving as a significant part of our growth going forward.
We are extremely excited about our growth potential for 2016 as we continue to expand into new retailers. Most recently, we announced sales to Safeway and have just completed a successful roadshow with Costco in Northern California. We believe that our national expansion will result in significant growth opportunities in 2016, Nickolas further stated.
Based on these factors, the Company has issued the following guidance:
| We expect to be cash-flow breakeven by the third-quarter fiscal 2016. |
| We expect revenue in excess of $10,000,000 for fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. |
| We expect to be selling in over 25,000 stores nationwide by the end of fiscal year 2016. |
| We expect fourth quarter profitability during fiscal year end 2016. |
