Business Highlights

Splash Beverage Group continues to accelerate brand growth throughout key markets, both domestic and international.

* Company stock uplisted to the NYSE/American Exchange in June 2021

* Since the start of 2021, the company has entered into significant distribution agreements with at least seven leading independent US distributors

* Began operations on its first acquisition Copa di Vino

* Secured distribution for all its brands in China through a deal with American Software Capital targeting a combined market opportunity of more than $64 billion

* Announced that its Qplash platform will integrate all its brands to rapidly expand its national market presence

William Meissner, President & CMO, said, "We are seeing broad market penetration of all our brands across US markets and expect similar traction in our overseas distribution agreements, making us comfortable to provide initial revenue guidance heading into the back half of this year. We are particularly encouraged by the current 71% increase in Pulpoloco sales compared to last year, as well as significant growth and positive consumer response to Copa Di Vino, TapouT hydrating sports drink, and flavored SALT 100% agave tequila brands."

He added, "Heading into the back half of this year, which is usually a seasonally strong period for beverage and spirits sales, we expect to see an acceleration of brand development across the board. We believe that both SALT tequila and Copa Di Vino are positioned for at least double-digit percentage growth, and with TapouT being part-owned by the WWE, we believe the market penetration for that product can lead to exponential growth on a national scale."

SALT 100% agave tequila is currently offered in national retail chains, including Walmart stores and 48 Sam's Club locations throughout the United States. Pulpoloco sangria, Copa Di Vino, and TapouT hydrating sports drink are represented by leading regional distributors, with several agreements made with top-performing Anheuser Busch distributorships.

Splash Beverage Group, Inc. will provide further updates to its forward-looking revenue guidance when appropriate.
