BRC Inc. Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Net Revenue Increases 27% in Q1 2023 to $83.5 million, Led by Wholesale Growth of 82%

Reaffirms 2023 Guidance For Revenue, Gross Margin, and Adjusted EBITDA

Appoints Chris Mondzelewski as Chief Marketing Officer, Former Chief Growth Officer for Mars' $12B+ Global Petcare Business

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 first quarter of fiscal year 2023.

"This was a transformational quarter in the evolution of Black Rifle Coffee Company,” said BRCC Founder and Chief Executive Officer Evan Hafer. “Less than four years ago, we generated 100% of our revenue from our Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) channel. This is the first quarter in our company's history that the Wholesale channel led the way. Due to this evolution in our business model, we are excited to announce the appointment of Chris Mondzelewski as our new Chief Marketing Officer. Chris comes to Black Rifle with more than 28 years of consumer marketing, business and leadership experience. For the past 13 years, he was the Chief Growth Officer for Mars' $12B+ Global Pet Care business and, more importantly, started his career in the United States Marine Corps."

"While having our bagged coffee and rounds in over 4,400 Walmart stores and our Ready-to-Drink (RTD) beverages in 63,000 doors can get candidates like Chris to take the initial meeting, the mission of Black Rifle Coffee Company and our unique connection to the veteran, active duty military and first responder communities allows us to seal the deal with candidates usually thought to be out of reach for a $400M+ revenue business. As our business continues to scale, we can give back more to those who have served. When we launched our coffee into the Food Drug & Mass (FDM) channel late last year, we committed to donate a portion of the proceeds from each bag of coffee or box of rounds sold to donate to veteran and first responder causes and after only 6 months in store, we were able to donate over $500,000 to help fund the preschool program for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. The program ensures complete educational support for the children of fallen special operations personnel and children of all medal of honor recipients."

First Quarter 2023 Financial Details

  • Net revenue of $83.5 million was an increase of 27% year-over-year.
  • Gross profit increased year-over-year to $27.5 million representing a 33% gross margin.
  • Net loss of $17.3 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) of $(5.1) million, a sequential improvement from $(11.4) million in the fourth quarter 2022

First Quarter 2023 Results

First quarter 2023 revenue increased 27% to $83.5 million from $65.8 million in the first quarter of 2022. Wholesale revenue increased 82% to $40.0 million in the first quarter of 2023 from $22.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC") revenue decreased 4% to $36.8 million in the first quarter of 2023 from $38.3 million during the first quarter of 2022. Outpost revenue increased 21% to $6.7 million in the first quarter of 2023 from $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2022. The Wholesale channel performance was primarily driven by entry into FDM and growth in our RTD product. In addition, RTD product sales increased through national distributors and retail accounts from 47,000 doors to 63,000 doors in the first quarter 2023. The DTC performance was primarily due to decreased marketing spend and the decision to redirect investments to other faster growing areas of the business as we continue to experience elevated DTC customer acquisition costs. The Outpost channel performance was driven by an increase in our company-owned store count, which increased to sixteen in the first quarter of 2023 from nine company-owned outposts in the first quarter of 2022.

Gross profit increased to $27.5 million in the first quarter of 2023 from $23.2 million in the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 19% year to year. The increase in gross profit was driven primarily by higher sales volume. Gross margin decreased 230 basis points to 33.0% from 35.3% for the first quarter of 2022. Gross margin decreased due to product costs increase from the increased price of raw coffee beans and RTD raw materials from adding capacity to new co-manufacturing locations leading to higher transportation and carrying cost. Additionally, we incurred $1.8 million in expense related to the start-up of new RTD products and co-manufacturers, impacting gross margin by 215 basis points.

Marketing expenses decreased 12% to $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2023 from $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2022. As a percentage of revenue, marketing expenses decreased 380 basis points to 8.6% in the first quarter of 2023 versus 12.4% in the first quarter of 2022. This decrease was due to reductions in lower-returning advertising platforms, partially offset by increased costs incurred in connection with the expansion of existing partnerships. In addition, marketing and advertising spend has been impacted by channel mix with revenue growth primarily coming from the Wholesale channel, which requires lower marketing spend than DTC.

Salaries, wages and benefits increased 24% to $19.8 million in the first quarter of 2023 from $16.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. As a percentage of revenue, salaries, wages and benefits decreased 60 basis points to 23.7% in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to 24.3% for the first quarter of 2022. The increase in salaries, wages and benefits was due to an increase in employee headcount to support our significant sales growth and investment in new stores opened and existing channels as we continue to build out additional revenue streams and expand product lines, as well as, $0.7 million in severance payments related to some reductions in headcount across the company.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses increased 19% to $17.8 million in the first quarter of 2023 from $14.9 million in the first quarter of 2022. As a percentage of revenue, G&A decreased 130 basis points to 21.3% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to 22.6% in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in G&A expenses was due to growth of corporate infrastructure primarily in information technology, as well as professional services to support the expansion of new and existing sales channels and product lines.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $17.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $(5.1) million. This compares to net loss of $256.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $(6.3) million in the first quarter of 2022.

Financial Outlook

BRC Inc. provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations for revenue, gross margin and adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure.

For the full-year fiscal 2023, the Company reaffirms:

  • Net revenue of $400-$440 million
  • Gross Margin Target of 36% - 37.5%
  • $5M - $20M of Adjusted EBITDA

The guidance 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.

We have not reconciled forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss), because we cannot predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain components of such reconciliations, including market-related assumptions that are not within our control, or others that may arise, without unreasonable effort. For these reasons, we are unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could materially impact the amount of future net loss. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional important information regarding Adjusted EBITDA.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To evaluate the performance of our business, we rely on both our results of operations recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. 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 also present EBITDA excluding non-cash fair value adjustments relating to the remeasurement of earn-out and derivative liabilities upon vesting events and the remeasurement of a warrant liability upon redemption of warrants. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding non-cash fair value adjustments, as adjusted for equity-based compensation, system implementation costs, transaction expenses, executive recruiting, severance, relocation and sign-on bonus, write-off of site development costs, strategic initiative related costs, non-routine legal expenses, RTD start-up production issue, and contract termination costs. Investors should note that, beginning with results for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, we have modified the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA to no longer exclude Outpost pre-opening expenses. To conform to the current period’s presentation, we have excluded Outpost pre-opening expenses when presenting Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and three months ended March 31, 2022. This change decreased Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022 by $0.1 million. When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental measures of operating performance because these measures facilitate 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. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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.
