September 30, 2023 , was$1.3 million compared to$1.8 million in the prior year period as a result of inventory reserves and a one-time write down of old inventory raw materials.

This includes a reduction in Non-Cash items of$1.49M vs.$1.7M respectively. The inventory adjustment, increase in freight cost, amazon fees, and marketing expenses in 2023 to support the revenue growth impact losses in the quarter.
As of
- We’re encouraged by continued growth in Net revenue against a strong prior year period. Q4 is off to a good start, and we anticipate another record finish to the year.
- As announced in Q2, we entered into an initial agreement with a funding group for working capital and acquisition funding. That has progressed as we now have executed agreements and have been contacted by their escrow group in NY and are awaiting further instructions. This is a non-dilutive facility.
- We are deep into the due diligence process with the previously announced Western Son acquisition and are enthusiastic about adding the brand to the portfolio and their talented leadership personnel to the Splash team. The addition offers us a host of benefits beyond the revenue and gross profit growth. We anticipate margin enhancement on our SALT, Pulpoloco and Copa di Vino brands as a result of our ability to build a centralized logistics hub in their
North Texas facilities. The brands margins are accretive to our existing brands, and we expect this will help us as we march toward profitability. Our teams are meeting regularly working through closing details, projections, and synergies as we hope to close at the end of the year or early January. - We successfully launched TapouT Energy and have received very positive feedback from both the consumers and the trade. TapouT Energy’s strong gross margins will contribute well to the entire portfolio’s blended gross margins as it becomes a larger part of the revenue.
- As we continue to build distribution and retail support (much more to come this year) we also at a point as we enter into the new year, we believe it is good management to break down the business in more detail and share with shareholders on quarterly conference calls.
- Our distribution footprint continued to expand for each of the brands during the quarter, including new distribution partnerships
Northern California ,Mississippi ,Oklahoma ,North Carolina ,Georgia andTennessee . Gaining these key distribution partnerships enhances our ability to reach the larger retailers and we’re excited to announce some new and exciting authorizations in the coming months. - In addition to tremendous freight in and out savings, our intention is to locate our first paper can roller there as we complete our dealings with CartoCan in
Germany . - Acquisition remains a key strategy for our long term growth, and we are currently in the early stages of evaluating additional potential targets.
“As you all know, this has been a challenging year in the capital markets. I want to thank all our shareholders personally and reiterate that we are very aware of this fact and also believe we are grossly undervalued, (myself as a large shareholder included) and are optimistic that our hard work to correct this will result in an improvement,” continued
“As I mentioned last quarter, we remain committed to executing a business plan that relies on 4 key pillars for success. We have a strong management team, we have a diverse portfolio of brands that match consumer trends, our marketing strategy continues to yield new distribution agreements and retail authorizations, and we have the financial flexibility we need. We look forward to the fourth quarter of 2023 and a fantastic 2024.”
