True Drinks Announces Record First Half Results

IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - August 09, 2017) - True Drinks Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK: TRUU), makers of AquaBall® Naturally Flavored Water, the healthiest children's beverage on the market with no sugar, preservatives, calories, or artificial flavors, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2017.

Revenue for the second quarter totaled approximately $1.95 million, representing a 27% increase compared to the Company's first-quarter sales. The Company had record first-half revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017 of nearly $3.5 million, an increase of 225% over the six months ended June 30, 2016. Gross profit for the quarter and first half ended June 30, 2017 was $709,700 and $1,265,840, respectively, compared to a gross loss of $39,734 and $189,847, respectively for the quarter and first half ended June 30, 2016.

Dan Kerker, Chief Financial Officer of True Drinks, commented, "The strong growth in the second quarter of 2017 was primarily the result of continued gains by AquaBall in the children's beverage category, driven by enhanced brand awareness among consumers looking to purchase a healthy alternative to sugary beverages. We look for this to continue in the second half of the year. We are pleased that we have maintained gross margins in the high thirties over the first two quarters. As previously announced, we introduced the lower cost six-pack last month and are working on further packaging improvements. We will soon begin testing a multi-channel marketing campaign promoting AquaBall in one of our key markets."

James Greco, Chief Executive Officer of True Drinks added, "The second quarter adds to the solid start we saw last quarter which has resulted in record first half revenue and greatly improved operating margins. As of the end of June, AquaBall was available in over 15,000 stores around the country. Velocity, as reported by Nielsen, continues to grow by double digits with the latest four-week period up nearly 23% over the previous four weeks. The growing distribution coupled with increased velocity means our sales volume continues to grow by double-digit percentages far outstripping that of other children's beverages." Greco continued, "AquaBall continues to benefit from the trend towards health and wellness. As awareness of the issues caused by excess sugar consumption in children grows, so do our sales. Our goal is to be a solution to the epidemics of childhood obesity and juvenile diabetes."
