EQUATOR Beverage Company Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

 

Record second quarter revenue of $845,375, up 44% year over year

 

Record second quarter gross profit of $342,892, up 22% year over year

 

JERSEY CITY, NJ, July 1, 2024 -- EQUATOR Beverage Company (OTC: MOJO), maker of MOJO Energy and MOJO Coconut Water premium lifestyle functional beverages today reported record second quarter 2024 financial results.

 

 

Glenn Simpson, Chairman and CEO of EQUATOR Beverage Company, said “EQUATOR Beverage had its highest second quarter revenue. Driving revenue was a significant gain in shelf space and new points of sale. Unit cases sold increased proportionally to the increase in sales revenue.  Our solid $342,892 second quarter gross profit reflects a balanced and disciplined approach to growth while simultaneously building the business and expanding despite a significant increase in ocean freight cost which we expect to ease toward the fourth quarter of 2024.”

 

The company reports financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Management believes that disclosure of Taxable Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, may provide users with additional insights into operating performance. Taxable Income excludes charges for the issue of common stock to officers and directors.

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER 2024

 

Revenue for the second quarter increased 44% to $845,375 compared to $588,478 for the prior-year period, driven primarily by grocery store shelf space increases and online sales.  We saw sustaining consumer demand growth, and overall channel growth.  Same stores growth was also up significantly year over year.  Gross profit for the second quarter of 2024 increased to $342,892 compared to $280,757 for the prior-year quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 41% for the three months ended June 30, 2024.  This was very positive despite a 300 percent increase in ocean shipping costs which we have not seen since the pandemic.
