Second Quarter 2026 Business Highlights

 

·

Good Twin Became the #1 Organic Non-Alcoholic Wine Brand in the U.S. Good Twin claimed the #1 position in the U.S. organic non-alcoholic wine category by dollar share, according to Nielsen, capturing more than one-third of category dollars while growing dollar sales more than 122% year-over-year, nearly three times the growth rate of the category, underscoring the Company’s ability to build category leaders within one of the fastest-growing segments in beverage.

·

Launched AMASS Electrolyte Mixers, Entering the Functional Wellness Category. The Company launched AMASS Electrolyte Mixers, its first AMASS-branded functional beverage product designed for both standalone hydration and mixer occasions, extending the platform into the multi-billion-dollar functional wellness category.

·

Secured First U.S. Distribution Partner for AMASS Electrolyte Mixers. Great Lakes Wine & Spirits, Michigan’s leading family-owned wholesale distributor, became the brand’s first U.S. distribution partner, establishing an initial commercial footprint and the first step in the Company’s multi-market rollout of the functional beverage line.

·

Pizzolato MUSE Claimed #1 in U.S. Organic Sparkling Wine and Launched Nationwide at Whole Foods Market. Pizzolato claimed the #1 position in the U.S. organic sparkling wine category by dollar share, according to Nielsen, holding more than double the share of its nearest competitor, while beginning a nationwide rollout at Whole Foods Market on June 1, materially expanding the brand’s retail footprint.

·

Announced Planned Acquisition of a Majority Stake in HpO Sparkling Protein Water. The Company announced the planned acquisition of a majority stake in HpO, a zero-sugar sparkling protein water brand, expanding AMASS further into functional hydration at the intersection of two accelerating consumer trends: protein consumption and premium hydration. The transaction would bring the Company’s ownership to approximately 50% on a fully diluted basis, with a three-year option to acquire the remaining interest.

 

 

·

Pizzolato Non-Alcoholic Spritz Rolled Out at Eataly Nationwide. Three Pizzolato ready-to-drink non-alcoholic spritz beverages began rolling out across 12 U.S. Eataly locations, with the Pizzolato 0% Hugo featured on the menu at Eataly’s flagship restaurant concept, extending the brand into premium retail and hospitality channels as the no-alcohol aperitivo occasion gains momentum.

·

Completed Nasdaq Direct Listing. On May 20, the Company completed its direct listing, with its common stock beginning to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “AMSS.” The direct listing marked the Company’s debut as a publicly traded company and a defining milestone in its long-term brand and platform growth strategy.

 

Highlights Subsequent to Quarter End

 

·

Launched AMASS Electrolyte Powder Mixers. In July, the Company expanded its functional hydration platform with the launch of AMASS Electrolyte Powder Mixers, a single-serve stick-pack format available through the Company’s direct-to-consumer channel, extending the AMASS Electrolyte Mixers line into everyday, on-the-go hydration occasions.

·

Summer Water Rosé Expanded to 37 California Costco Locations. Summer Water Rosé, confirmed by Nielsen as the #1 best-selling domestic rosé in the $15–$20 price tier nationally, expanded distribution into 37 Costco locations across California. In addition, Wine Enthusiast awarded the 2025 vintage 92 points and a Best Buy designation, the brand’s sixth consecutive vintage rated 90 points or higher.

 

Management Commentary

 

"The second quarter marked an important milestone for AMASS and the beginning of a new chapter for the business," said Mark Thomas Lynn, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of AMASS. "We completed our Nasdaq listing, strengthened our capital structure and continued transforming AMASS into a more focused portfolio built around the brands and categories where we see the greatest long-term opportunity. Becoming a public company was an important step, but what matters most is building a business that can consistently create value over the long term, and we believe this quarter shows that strategy is beginning to take shape."

 

"The portfolio is changing exactly as we intended. Our four Core Brands, Summer Water, Pizzolato MUSE, Good Twin and AMASS Electrolytes, grew 12% and now account for 67% of brand-attributed revenue, up from 62% a year ago. At the same time, the brands we have intentionally exited or are winding down declined 27%. That's exactly the transition we set out to create. We aren't trying to operate the largest collection of beverage brands. We're concentrating our resources behind the brands where we see the strongest consumer demand, the greatest long-term potential and the best economics."

 

"We're also seeing encouraging validation across the portfolio. Pizzolato MUSE expanded nationally at Whole Foods Market and into Eataly, Good Twin continued its strong growth, and AMASS Electrolytes generated its first commercial revenue following its launch earlier this year. We also announced our planned acquisition of HpO, expanding our position in functional hydration. This is the platform working as designed: identifying categories where consumer behavior is changing, building or acquiring brands positioned to lead those categories, and leveraging our existing infrastructure to scale them more efficiently."

 

"Our consolidated financial results also reflect deliberate decisions we made during the quarter. We accelerated the sale of slower-moving inventory, accepted near-term margin pressure to simplify the portfolio and convert inventory into cash, and continued investing behind the brands driving our future growth. Those actions affected reported profitability in the short term, but we believe they leave the business in a stronger position as our sales mix continues shifting toward our higher-quality Core Brands."

 

 

"We still have important work ahead of us. Improving margins, strengthening our balance sheet and securing the capital necessary to execute our long-term plan remain our highest priorities. But as we look at the business today, we believe the underlying direction has never been clearer. We're building a simpler, more focused and more capital-efficient beverage company, and we believe we're still in the early stages of what this platform can become."

 

Outlook

 

As AMASS continues its transition to a more focused, growth-oriented beverage platform, the Company is introducing financial guidance for the first time as a public company. Management believes the progress made in simplifying the portfolio, expanding distribution of its Core Brands, and building its Non-Alcoholic and Functional business provides increasing visibility into the business and supports the outlook below.

 

Based on current trends and management's operating plan, the Company expects a return to year-over-year growth in the second half of fiscal 2026, with second-half net revenues of at least $8.7 million, representing growth of at least approximately 10% over second-half fiscal 2025:

 

·

Third quarter fiscal 2026 net revenues of at least $4.4 million, representing growth of at least approximately 10%

·

Fourth quarter fiscal 2026 net revenues of at least $4.3 million, representing growth of at least approximately 10%

·

Full year fiscal 2026 net revenues of at least $18.5 million, reflecting first-half net revenues of $9.7 million and the second-half outlook above, and representing growth of at least approximately 4% over fiscal 2025; and

·

Full year fiscal 2027 net revenue of at least $22.2 million, representing at least approximately 20% over fiscal 2026.

 

Mr. Lynn commented, "We're introducing guidance because we believe the business has reached an important turning point. Our portfolio is becoming more focused, our Core Brands are driving a larger share of the business, and we have better visibility into the factors we believe will drive growth over the next several quarters. We've intentionally set our near-term outlook at levels we believe we can achieve while continuing to execute against our long-term strategy. Going forward, our objective is straightforward: build credibility by consistently doing what we say we're going to do."

 

This outlook reflects management’s current expectations and assumptions, including continued execution of the Company’s distribution expansion strategy, a stable input-cost and tariff environment, no material changes in distributor relationships, and no financing events that have not already closed. It does not assume, and should not be read to reflect, the outcome of the Company’s efforts to obtain the additional capital described above under “Liquidity and going concern.” These expectations are forward-looking statements subject to the risks described under “Forward-Looking Statements” below and in the Company’s filings with the SEC, and actual results may differ materially. The Company addresses its guidance only at scheduled earnings releases and undertakes no obligation to update it between them.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

This press release includes Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin, financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Management uses these measures to evaluate operating performance and allocate resources, and believes they assist investors in comparing operating performance across periods by removing items that are non-cash, non-recurring, or not indicative of ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool: it excludes interest expense on indebtedness the Company is obligated to service, it excludes depreciation and amortization of assets that will need to be replaced, and other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting comparability. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, net loss, gross profit or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA, and of gross profit to adjusted gross profit, is included in the tables below.

 

 

Definitions

 

Adjusted EBITDA means net loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for a fixed set of add-backs: one-off deal and direct-listing costs; stock-based compensation; stock-settled banker fees; impairment and bad debt, net; inventory write-downs and variance; juice storage; merchant and factoring fees; the net results of bulk wine and of the divested business unit; loss on contracts; and one-time credits, which are deducted. Recurring public-company operating costs — including annual exchange listing fees, directors’ and officers’ insurance, incremental headcount and ongoing investor-relations costs — are not added back and remain in Adjusted EBITDA.

 

Adjusted gross profit means gross profit adjusted for inventory write-downs and variance, net, and for the net results of bulk wine.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including the statements under “Outlook” regarding the Company’s expected second-half, third quarter, fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2026 net revenues and its fiscal 2027 net revenue target, and statements regarding the Company’s strategy, brand portfolio, expected revenue mix, capital resources and liquidity. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Those risks include, without limitation: the substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and the effect that a failure to obtain additional capital would have on the Company’s ability to execute the operating plan underlying its outlook; the risk that the assumptions underlying the Company’s outlook, including its distribution expansion plans and the input-cost and tariff environment, prove incorrect; the Company’s need to raise additional capital and the terms on which that capital may be available, including dilution associated with the Streeterville facility and with conversions at the alternate conversion price following the Series C Trigger Event; the Company’s ability to regain and maintain compliance with the Nasdaq continued-listing requirements; the Company’s past-due Mezzanine Secured Notes and its ability to extend, refinance or repay them; the Company’s history of losses; the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described in the Company’s periodic reports; concentration in a limited number of customers and distributors; the regulatory environment governing alcoholic beverages; supply chain and inventory risk; and the other factors described under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Prospectus dated May 18, 2026 and in its subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
