Management Commentary

“The second quarter of 2023 was marked by ongoing revenue growth, execution of our expansion strategy, and strategic marketing initiatives to build customer engagement,” said Jay Kim, Chief Executive Officer of Reborn. “Increased company operated store sales were driven by new locations and marketing, underscored by new product innovations and effective operational execution across our retail locations. The second quarter was also focused on the exploration and launch of new U.S. and overseas locations, and ongoing joint R&D projects, B2B marketing expansion and new product launches.

“During the quarter we expanded on our popular Reborn Cafe concept, which is generating approximately $18 per customer on average, with plans to launch a specialty ‘Reborn Cafe N Pet Social’ in pet-friendly Pasadena, California. Anticipated to open in late 2023, the location will feature indoor seating and an outdoor patio for pet owners and their furry friends, providing a cozy and welcoming environment for everyone to enjoy. Snacks and water bowls will be provided for pets, along with a curated special pet supplies section. In tandem we are launching a new series of engaging events at Reborn retail locations in partnership with pet rescue and adoption organizations, and we are now allowing pets in outdoor and patio spaces at all our locations.

“We intend 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. To this end, during the quarter we hosted a unique and successful coffee tasting and marketing event in the Miami Design District during the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix. This was the first time we staged a marketing event on the East Coast, an initiative fueled by plans to expand into this market through Miami, a gateway to an international community.

“Looking ahead, 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. Fueled by a recent $1 million strategic credit facility, we plan to accelerate company initiatives including expansion in new key markets in the U.S. and globally and developing our franchise opportunities. Our diligent focus on sustained operational execution is yielding ongoing year-over-year revenue growth from company operated store sales. We look forward to additional announcements in the months to come as we build revenue, 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 up to 20 company-owned retail locations.
