Innovation Beverage Group Limited
General Information | |
Business: | We are a developer, manufacturer, marketer, exporter and retailer of a growing beverage portfolio of 60 formulations across 13 alcoholic and non-alcoholic brands for which we own exclusive manufacturing rights. Our focus is on premium and super premium brands. (Incorporated in Australia)Our flagship Australian Bitters Company (ABC) brand accounted for approximately 75% of our revenues in 2021. We also sell BitterTales, a brand to which we have the exclusive right to manufacture for distribution in the United States. The Bitters category is expected to return to growth from 2021 onwards, especially Cocktail Bitters, as restrictions ease and consumer trends around home cocktailing, desire for more natural ingredients and bitter flavors increases.Our goal is to increase our market share in the $600 million global market for bitters. Our partnership with Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (NASDAQ:CCEP), one of the world’s largest Coca-Cola bottlers, to exclusively manufacture ABC bitters for distribution in Australia is a key component of this strategy. We retain distribution rights for ABC bitters outside Australia and are actively negotiating new distribution arrangements for new markets.We are introducing a new non-alcoholic spirit brand called Drummerboy, our first entry into the growing non-alcoholic beverage market. No-and-Low Alcohol products are becoming increasingly accepted as a lifestyle and societal norm, making it more accessible and approachable for consumers. The market value of no/low alcohol brands in key global markets in 2021 was just under USD$10 billion, up from USD$7.8 billion in 2018.[2] With a direct to consumer (DTC) retail price per bottle of AUD$50 (approximately USD$35) and via manufacturing efficiencies through in-house manufacturing, we anticipate a margin in excess of 80% gross profit when selling Drummerboy through its own www.drummerboy.com website in a DTC sale.Our DTC (direct-to-consumer) distribution channel is a network of four e-commerce platforms, which includes the Drummerboy website. The other platforms are: BevMart.com.au (www.bevmart.com.au), which we launched in Australia in May 2021; BevMart.com (www.bevmart.com), which we launched in the U.S. in February 2022, and the U.S.-based e-commerce platform – www.wiredforwine.com – which we acquired in November 2021. We offer our brands and other brands on these platforms.**Note: Net loss and revenue figures (in the profile chart below) are in U.S. dollars for the year that ended Dec. 31, 2023: Net loss of $2.01 million on revenue of $3.15 million.**Note: For the previous year – the year that ended Dec. 31, 2022: Net loss of $4.13 million on revenue of $4.53 million.(Note: Innovation Beverage Group, Ltd. slightly downsized its IPO at pricing to 1.35 million shares – down from 1.4 million shares in the prospectus – and priced the IPO at $4.00, its assumed IPO price – to raise $5.4 million on Wednesday night, Sept. 25, 2024.)(Note: Innovation Beverage Group revised the structure of its micro-cap IPO by dropping the warrants – changing the IPO to a stock-only deal – and trimming the assumed IPO price to $4.00 – down from $4.13 ($4.125) in the previous unit structure – and keeping the number of shares at 1.4 million – the same as in the unit structure – in an F-1/A filing dated Aug. 6, 2024.
