Management Commentary
“2018 was a pivotal year for Jones Soda as we leveraged our strengthened balance
sheet to expand our sales team, resulting in strong revenue growth from our fountain initiative, and encouraging progress in our
glass bottle business and Lemoncocco initiative,” said Jennifer Cue, CEO of Jones Soda. “During the fourth quarter,
we continued to build out our independent account network for fountain, which helped drive 179% year-over-year revenue growth for
that line of business.
“Moving to 2019, we have experienced a strong start to the year with the introduction
of Jones Ginger Beer and the enhancement of our glass bottle portfolio through the addition of two new sugar free options and all-natural
flavors and colors when possible. We believe consumers’ demand for craft soda also continues to shift in our favor, as we
will begin rolling our products out to approximately 1,000 new regional chain accounts over the next several months. As customer
preferences continue to evolve towards craft and premium sodas, we believe we have powerful brands and the necessary distribution
to capitalize on this growth in 2019 and beyond.”
Fourth Quarter 2018 Financial Results
Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018 increased 5% to $2.3 million compared to $2.2
million in the same quarter a year ago. This increase was primarily attributable to a 179% increase in fountain revenue and a 5%
increase in Jones glass bottle revenue, partially offset by an 18% decrease in 7-Select revenue.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 17.9% for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared
to 9.5% in the same quarter a year ago. The increase was driven by write-offs during the fourth quarter of 2017 that were not present
in 2018, offset by the timing of promotions in 2018 and higher freight costs associated with general transportation cost inflation.
Net loss was $822,000, or $(0.02) per share, for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared
to a net loss of $808,000, or $(0.02) per share, in the same quarter a year ago.
Adjusted EBITDA
1
in the fourth quarter of 2018 was negative $(674,000)
compared to negative $(720,000) in the same quarter a year ago.
At December 31, 2018, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.0 million compared to
$0.4 million at December 31, 2017. The Company’s line of credit balance at the end of the fourth quarter totaled $0.4 million
compared to $0.9 million at December 31, 2017.
Full Year 2018 Financial Results
Revenue in 2018 was $12.6 million compared to $13.3 million in 2017. This decrease
was primarily attributable to the de-listing of Jones cans by a major retailer and the difficult comparisons created by the significant
load-in of Jones 7-Select during 2017 that was not repeated in 2018, partially offset by 197% growth in fountain revenue and 21%
growth in Lemoncocco revenue during 2018.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 21.8% in 2018 compared to 22.7% in 2017.
The decrease was driven by the aforementioned timing of promotions in 2018 and higher freight costs.
Net loss was $2.1 million, or $(0.05) per share, in 2018 compared to a net loss
of $1.3 million, or $(0.03) per share, in 2017.
Adjusted EBITDA
1
in 2018 was $(1.6) million compared to $(1.0) in 2017.
__________

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based
compensation and is a non-GAAP measure (reconciliation provided below).

Presentation of Non-GAAP Information
This press release contains disclosure of the Company's Adjusted
EBITDA, which is a not a United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (“GAAP”) financial measure. The difference
between Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) and Net Loss (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) is the exclusion of interest
expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation. We have included a reconciliation
of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss in our Non-GAAP Reconciliation in this press release. This non-GAAP measure should be considered
in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP. Adjusted
EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact of certain expenses to our consolidated statements
of operations. In addition, because Adjusted EBITDA may not be calculated identically by all companies, the presentation here may
not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information
to investors about the Company's results attributable to operations, in particular by eliminating the impact of non-cash charges
related to stock-based compensation, amortization and depreciation that is consistent with the manner in which we evaluate the
Company's performance. These adjustments to the Company's GAAP results are made with the intent of providing a more complete understanding
of the Company's underlying operational results and provide supplemental information regarding our current ability to generate
cash flow. This non-GAAP financial measure and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a replacement for, or superior
to net loss as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, or cash flow, as a measure of its liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA
should be reviewed in conjunction with Net Loss as calculated in accordance with GAAP.
