Highlights:

  • Net revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 were $7.5 million, compared to $8.8 million in first quarter of fiscal 2014.
  • Gross profit percentage for the quarter was 21.7% compared to 26.3% in the prior year comparable quarter. Gross profit percentage was impacted primarily by the volume decline.
  • Selling, Marketing and Administration expense fell to $1.7 million from $1.9 million in the year prior, the result of delayed timing of advertising and reduced promotional spending.
  • EBITDA* for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 fell to $0.7 million compared to $1.0 million a year earlier.

KITCHENER, ON, June 5, 2014 /CNW/ - Brick Brewing Co. Limited ("Brick" or "The Company") today released financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2015, ended April 27, 2014. Net revenue for the quarter was $7.5 million, down from $8.8 million in the first quarter of the prior year. EBITDA for the quarter came in at $0.7 million, down from $1.0 million in first quarter of the prior year.

"The long cold winter weather had a significant impact on the entire category, and our volumes were impacted as well" noted George Croft, President and CEO at Brick Brewing. "Weak industry volumes led to pricing pressure across the category, impacting both sales and margins.  In addition to the slow start to spring, in the prior year first quarter we had a number of promotional offerings that were not repeated this year including; Laker 12 pack promotion with free can in case, Seagram cider mix pack as well as our Waterloo seasonal pack."

"The poor weather has now extended into a cool spring, and the overall category would certainly benefit from warmer weather." continued Mr. Croft.  "Given the industry headwinds we're facing, it will be all the more important that we continue to focus on delivering great value to our customers, while maintaining our disciplined approach to cost control. We are working hard to deliver results. Our strong product lineup, our commitment to our customers, and our cost focus gives us the best chance to do that."

The following financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements of the Company prepared under IFRS for the year ended January 31, 2014.

Although the Corporation believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which are not guarantees and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which may cause actual performance and financial results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements.

* EBITDA is a non-IFRS earnings measure, therefore it does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards  and may not be similar to measures presented by other companies. EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain on disposal of property, plant, and equipment, and share based payments. Management uses this measurement to evaluate the operating results of the Company. This measure is also important to management since it is used by the Company's lenders to evaluate the ongoing cash generating capability of the Company and therefore the amounts those lenders are willing to lend to the Company. Investors find EBITDA to be useful information because it provides a measure of the Company's operating performance.
