Management Commentary

“The first quarter of 2023 was highlighted by ongoing revenue growth from company operated store sales, in conjunction with ongoing location and product expansion,” said Jay Kim, Chief Executive Officer of Reborn. “We are now highly focused on the opening of new U.S. and overseas locations, joint R&D projects, B2B marketing expansion and new product launches. Taken together, we believe our expansion strategy, driven by sustained customer demand, new product innovation and effective operational execution across our retail locations, will support continued revenue growth for Reborn in the years to come.

“During the first quarter we continued to advance our retail location expansion, preparing for new company-owned retail locations in Southern California and new flagships in states such as Texas, as well as global locations including South Korea, Austria, and Dubai. We are actively conducting due diligence and seeking differentiated and prime locations that will serve as strategic footprints in these new markets, preparing us for additional expansion, including our Reborn Café concept which has been well-received and is generating on average, approximately $18 per customer.

“In addition to new locations, we are introducing innovative and complementary new products to our customer base to fuel sales and grow Average Unit Volumes at our existing stores. Recently we launched a new line of Super-Premium Reborn Cold Brew Ice Creams that use high quality, natural ingredients with exceptional flavors, with a rich and creamy texture that we believe sets it apart from other ice cream brands. Super-Premium cold brew ice cream is a natural extension of our brand, mission and innovative specialty roasted coffee, and we are incredibly excited to begin offering it to customers in preparation for a major roll out to buyers and consumers in the coming months. Other new innovative products like our Cascara tea will help to build additional revenue, differentiate our brand, and broaden our reach beyond our retail locations into B2B and DTC sales.

“We began 2023 well-positioned to build revenue and growth, and we are looking to continue to position Reborn for expansion in new key markets in the U.S. and globally and developing our franchise opportunities. We believe we can continue our momentum with a diligent focus on sustained operational execution and year-over-year revenue growth. I look forward to additional announcements in the months to come as we strive to create long-term sustainable growth and shareholder value,” concluded Kim.

Anticipated Milestones

  • Open 4 flagship Reborn Café locations in the U.S., targeting cities such as San Francisco, San Diego, Houston, and Kansas City.
  • Open 4 overseas locations outside the U.S., targeting countries such as South Korea, Malaysia, Austria, and Dubai.
  • Joint R&D projects with coffee farms in locations such as Hawaii and Colombia.
  • Expand B2B marketing to wholesale clubs and other major outlets and expand ecommerce marketing.
  • Launch new Reborn-branded products such red tea bag packs and cold brew cans.
