TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 17, 2025-- Flow Beverage Corp. (TSX:FLOW; OTCPK:FLWBF) (“Flow” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2025 (“Q2 2025”). All currency amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

Management Commentary

“Flow has secured funding of approximately $14.3 million so far in fiscal 2025 in order to invest in working capital and return to growth in Flow brand net revenue as demand for our flagship products has never been higher. Our Planet A co-packing business continues to contribute positively to consolidated net revenue and gross profit. Furthermore, our operational transformation has made us a leaner and more focused operation and has resulted in an Adjusted EBITDA improvement as compared to the prior year. Flow continues to see strong demand for our Flow brand products which should also be propelled by a busy summer activation program and the launch of Flow Sparkling Mineral Spring Water in Canada. The near-term commissioning of production line 5 at our Aurora production facility will also provide additional capacity to meet Flow brand demand and volumes from our Planet A co-pack partners. I would like to thank the Flow team for their dedication and to our funding partners for providing the working capital for the Company to execute against its long-term strategy,” said Nicholas Reichenbach, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Flow.

Financial Results for Q2 2025

Flow brand net revenue was $3.6 million in Q2 2025, a 49% decrease from $7.0 million in the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2024 (“Q2 2024”). Flow brand net revenue decreased due to the exit of commercial partnerships with retail and food service partners to meet the Company’s profitability targets and temporary disruptions to production and fulfillment due to working capital constraints.

Consolidated net revenue was $10.0 million in Q2 2025, a 17% decrease from $12.1 million in Q2 2024. Offsetting the decrease in Flow brand net revenue, Planet A co-packing net revenue increased 28% in Q2 2025, which is attributable to recently signed co-pack contracts.

Gross margin¹ was 23% in Q2 2025, as compared to 28% in Q2 2024. The variance in gross margin¹ reflects the lower consolidated net revenue and a $0.2 million inventory write-off.

Flow reported an EBITDA² loss of $6.1 million in Q2 2025, as compared to an EBITDA¹ loss of $4.2 million in Q2 2024. The variance reflects the factors impacting net revenue and gross margin and also includes decreased sales and marketing expense attributable to a one-time marketing rebate, and higher salaries and benefits due to additions to the U.S. sales team. EBITDA² loss also includes a $3.2 million debt modification expense.

Flow reported an Adjusted EBITDA² loss of $3.0 million in Q2 2025, as compared to a loss of $3.5 million in Q2 2024. The Adjusted EBITDA² loss is attributable to the same factors that impact EBITDA² loss, removing stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and the debt modification expense.
