The Alkaline Water Company Adds Grocery Co-Op and Food Distributor Serving Approximately 250 Stores in the Northwest

URM Stores, Inc. Will Distribute the Alkaline88® 1-Gallon and 2-Liter

The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (NASDAQ and CSE: WTER) (the “Company”), the country’s largest independent alkaline water company and the Clean Beverage® company, announced today that Alkaline88® has entered into a partnership with URM Stores, Inc. (“URM”), a food distributor and grocery co-op, and one of the largest-privately owned companies in the Northwest. URM provides service to over 100 Member-Owners, representing approximately 250 grocery stores throughout the Pacific Northwest.

“Through our new partnership with URM, the number one food distributor in the Inland Northwest, Alkaline88® has access to even greater distribution in this very important growth region,” said Frank Lazaran, President and CEO of The Alkaline Water Company. “We will direct ship to them and have access to not only hundreds of stores, but multiple grocery banners in four states.”

“Alkaline88 was the pioneering brand for bulk premium water in the United States. URM stores don’t yet carry a bulk alkaline water, so we have a great opportunity to continue blazing the trail. The Alkaline88 1-Gallon is the best-selling bulk alkaline water in the country, by a wide margin. Both it and our 2-Liter are fantastic products to provide Smooth Hydration™ to shoppers at URM’s iconic Northwest grocers.”

URM’s stores include Rosauers Supermarkets, Super 1 Foods, Yoke’s Fresh Market, and many others that have been serving their communities in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana for many decades. Alkaline88® products are now available to URM and will appear on store shelves as early as November. For more information visit urmstores.com.

Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, that the Company has a great opportunity to continue blazing the trail with URM stores.

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.
