Alkaline88® Increases Product Offerings in 8,000 Stores of America’s Largest Drugstore Chain

Alkaline88 Also Furthers Brand Footprint with Convenience Shopping Market

The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ and CSE: WTER) (the “Company”), the country’s largest independent alkaline water company, is pleased to announce the expansion of its existing partnership with the nation’s largest drugstore chain. The chain is now set to carry Alkaline88® one-gallon bottles in approximately 8,000 stores nationwide and one-liter bottles in its “open-air coolers” across 1,000 select locations.

“We are thrilled to announce that the nation’s largest drugstore chain will now start carrying our one-gallon and one-liter bottles in addition to our three-liter bottle. Over the past two years our relationship with this Fortune 500 company has continued to grow and I believe this is another positive step in a long and fruitful partnership between us. With these additions, we now have our three best-selling SKUs in the largest drugstore chain in the country and most of our customers will be able to find Alkaline88 within just three miles of their home,” says Ricky Wright, President and CEO of The Alkaline Water Company.

“We also continue to see accelerated growth of our single-serve offerings. Per Nielsen Data for the 52-week period ending 3/27/2021, our sales of single-serve Alkaline88 bottles alone in the past 52 weeks would place our brand in the top 25 of all enhanced waters. Having another major chain expand their existing customer offering to include our one-liter product is another indicator of the significant growth opportunities that are available within our network of 75,000 stores nationwide.”

Alkaline88® is currently the largest independent alkaline water company in the country. The brand’s consumer loyalty and performance during and post pandemic have served to open up this opportunity and others like it.

Alkaline88® is known for its superior hydration with a perfect 8.8pH balance. The brand was developed to deliver a smooth taste that encourages consumers to drink more and fully hydrate, and the company is dedicated to purity, quality, and value. The water’s ingredient deck is simple, easy to understand and free of buffers. Dubbed “the clean beverage,” Alkaline88® ionized water contains just two pure ingredients that customers trust — water and Pink Himalayan Rock Salt.

The Alkaline88® flagship brand of premium alkaline water is now available in 75,000 stores across all trades in the U.S. For more information, visit www.thealkalinewaterco.com.

Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains “forward-looking statements.” Statements in this news release that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements and include any statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations, or intentions regarding the future. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, the following: that most of the Company’s customers will be able to find Alkaline88 within just three miles of their home; and that having another major chain expand their existing customer offering to include the Company's one-liter product is another indicator of the significant growth opportunities that are available within the Company’s network of 75,000 stores nationwide.

The material assumptions supporting these forward-looking statements include, among others, that the demand for the Company’s products will continue to significantly grow; that the past production capacity of the Company’s co-packing facilities can be maintained or increased; that there will be increased production capacity through implementation of new production facilities, new co-packers and new technology; that there will be an increase in number of products available for sale to retailers and consumers; that there will be an expansion in geographical areas by national retailers carrying the Company’s products; that there will be an expansion into new national and regional grocery retailers; that there will be an expansion into new e-commerce, home delivery, convenience, and healthy food channels; that there will not be interruptions on production of the Company’s products; that there will not be a recall of products due to unintended contamination or other adverse events relating to the Company’s products; and that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital to meet the Company’s growing demand and satisfy the capital expenditure requirements needed to increase production and support sales activity. Actual results could differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements due to numerous factors. Such factors include, among others, governmental regulations being implemented regarding the production and sale of alkaline water or any other products; additional competitors selling alkaline water and enhanced water products in bulk containers reducing the Company’s sales; the fact that the Company does not own or operate any of its production facilities and that co-packers may not renew current agreements and/or not satisfy increased production quotas; the fact that the Company has a limited number of suppliers of its unique bulk bottles; the potential for supply-chain interruption due to factors beyond the Company��s control; the fact that there may be a recall of products due to unintended contamination; the inherent uncertainties associated with operating as an early stage company; changes in customer demand and the fact that consumers may not embrace enhanced water products as expected or at all; the extent to which the Company is successful in gaining new long-term relationships with new retailers and retaining existing relationships with retailers; the Company’s ability to raise the additional funding that it will need to continue to pursue its business, planned capital expansion and sales activity; and competition in the industry in which the Company operates and market conditions. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this news release, and the Company assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States and Canada.
