Company to Host Conference Call at 5:00 pm ET Monday May 13, 2024

PORTLAND, Oregon, May 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Eastside Distilling, Inc. (NASDAQ: EAST) ("Eastside" or the "Company"), a consumer-focused beverage company that builds craft inspired experiential brands and high-quality artisanal products around premium spirits, digital can printing, co-packing and mobile filling, reported first quarter financial results for the period ended March 31, 2024.

First Quarter 2024 Highlights:

  • Craft digitally printed a quarter-record 4.8 million cans representing a +320% increase over the prior year

  • Both operating segments made improvements in the quarter over the prior year excluding barrel sales at Spirits

  • Company decreased operating costs over $0.6 million

Financial Results

Gross sales for the three months ending March 31, 2024 decreased to $2.5 million from $2.9 million for the three months ending March 31, 2023.  Higher digital printing sales were offset by lower mobile canning and spirits sales. Spirits sales fell due primarily to the Company's bulk sale of 250 barrels for gross proceeds of $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Gross profit for the three months ending March 31, 2024 decreased to $0.2 million from $0.6 million for the three months ending March 31, 2023. Consolidated gross margin was 8% and 22% for the three months ending March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Craft C+P gross margin increased due to higher printed can volumes. Spirits gross margin decreased due to gross profit of $0.5 million from bulk sales of barrels during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Operating costs for the three months ending March 31, 2024 decreased to $0.2 million from $0.6 million for the three months ending March 31, 2023 primarily due to decreased headcount and lower professional fees and sponsorship costs. The Company continues its broad restructuring in spirits as it realigns investment focusing on the most profitable spirits brands and regions.

Net loss for the three months ending March 31, 2024 decreased to $1.3 million from $1.6 million for the three months ending March 31, 2023. The Company reported improved EBITDA of $(0.7) million and $(0.9) million for the three months ending March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Craft's EBITDA loss improved to $(0.3) million. Spirits reported EBITDA of $(0.1) million in the quarter.  (See description of EBITDA in "Use of Non-GAAP Measures" below.)

The Company will give further updates on its earnings conference call.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Eastside Distilling's management evaluates and makes operating decisions using various financial metrics. In addition to the Company's GAAP results, management also considers the non-GAAP measure of adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to GAAP results. Management believes this non-GAAP measure provides useful information about the Company's operating results and assists investors in comparing the Company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that it does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance.

The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and other one-time items. The final table below provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
