Iconic Brands Reported Financial Results for Third Quarter 2022

New York, NY  - (NewMediaWire) - December 06, 2022 - Iconic Brands, Inc. (OTC: ICNB) (“Iconic” or the “Company”), a leader in the development, design and delivery of alcohol and non-alcohol beverages, reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. 

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights:

      Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, was $3,162,422, an increase of $315,985, compared to $2,846,437 for the three months ended September 30, 2021.  

      Cash as of September 30, 2022, was $2,798,401, compared to $2,190,814 on December 31, 2021.

Third Quarter and Recent 2022 Highlights:

      The Company introduced a newly launched product, Pop Top Naturals, in October 2022. Pop Top Naturals Juice Pouches are a healthy, portion-controlled solution to the kid’s juice box market for major retailers and distributors. 

      Interim Chief Executive Officer Tom Martin continued to direct the Company into its next stages of growth. The Company now has the capacity to produce 80 million units of frozen ice pops, various stand-up flexible pouches, single-serve shots, organic juice pops, and dog treats in 2022. This was double the capacity from 40 million units in 2021.

      In October, Bellissima Zero Still Wines were premiered and featured on QVC; the feature led to on-air inventory of its Pinot Grigio being completely sold out.

      The Company is seeing continued growth in its Bellissima still wines.

Management Commentary

“Historically, TopPop’s second half of the year has represented our ‘softest’ from a revenue perspective, since the traditional frozen cocktail market is highly seasonal. It is also the part of the year that we typically book new business and prepare to manufacture for deliveries in the first quarter. Because we are a fast-growing business, this has an effect on our operations as we develop new product categories and broaden our customer base to even out this inconsistency in our quarterly results. I was displeased with our operating results for the quarter. I believe these results were the result of unanticipated difficulties in licensing and ordering equipment, and of cost increases in labor and goods as we moved into our new plant. Additionally, some of the Company’s still wines took longer to be placed into anticipated new markets. However, our bookings are strong, and our business is expanding into new areas while we continue to demonstrate our growth trajectory and commitment to building a platform of solutions within the industry. We believe that during this quarter, the fruits of our labor and investments began to pay off, as our production facilities made great progress with the ready to freeze, ready to drink ice pops and pouches. As sustainability remains on the forefront of corporate missions worldwide, we believe that demand for our products and innovative packaging remains solid. Recently we added a new non-alcohol-based healthy kid’s juice pouch, Pop Top Naturals, which we expect to release into the retail market in the fourth quarter of 2022. We believe this demonstrates our ability to put Iconic’s brand into the marketplace and to provide an additional source of revenue to its beverage product portfolio. We also believe this product will begin to smooth out the seasonality of our business going forward. As we near the end of the year, we are excited for 2023 and what it will bring,” commented Tom Martin, interim Chief Executive Officer of Iconic.
