Jersey City, New Jersey--(Newsfile Corp. - November 4, 2024) - EQUATOR Beverage Company (OTCQB: MOJO), maker of MOJO Energy and MOJO Coconut Water premium lifestyle functional beverages today reported record third quarter 2024 financial results. The Form 10Q was filed November 1, 2024 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

Glenn Simpson, Chairman & CEO of EQUATOR Beverage Company, said: "EQUATOR Beverage had its highest third quarter revenue. Driving revenue was a gain in shelf space and new points of sale. Unit cases sold increased proportionally to the increase in sales revenue. Our solid $357,275 third quarter gross profit reflects a balanced and disciplined approach to growth while simultaneously building the business despite a significant increase in ocean freight cost."

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER 2024

Revenue for the third quarter increased 57% to $1,061,645 compared to $675,947 for the prior-year, driven primarily by grocery store shelf space increases and online sales. We saw sustaining consumer demand growth, and overall channel growth. Same stores growth was also up year over year. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2024 increased to $357,275 compared to $308,685 for the prior-year quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 34% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This was very positive despite a 300 percent increase in ocean shipping costs.

This marks the fourth quarter of consecutive revenue growth year over year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue was $2,547,620 compared to $1,780,059 for the same period last year. The trailing 2024 12-month revenue was $3,055,832 compared to $2,131,819 for the same period last year.
