● Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(2)</sup> from continuing operations was ($2.0) million compared to $(7.2) million, an improvement of $5.2 million, or 72%.

**Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Summary vs. Fourth Quarter 2024**

● Revenue from continuing operations increased 450% to $11.7 million compared to $2.6 million in the year ago period. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to club and direct to consumer sales of licensed products.

● Adjusted Gross Profit margin<sup>1</sup> from continuing operations increased to 32% from 10% in the year ago period.

● Total operating expenses from continuing operations were $4.1 million compared to $3.2 million in the year ago period. The increase was primarily attributable to license fees and brokers fees related to the revenue increase in the fourth quarter.

● Net loss from continuing operations was $1.8 million, or $(0.015) per share, compared to $4.1 million, or $(0.038) per share. The $2.3 million improvement in net loss was primarily driven by significantly higher gross profit in the fourth quarter.

● Adjusted EBITDA<sup>2</sup> from continuing operations improved by $3.1 million moving from a loss of $2.7 million in the prior year to a gain of $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.

**<sup>1</sup> Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is a Non-GAAP measure. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is meant to reflect management's view of gross profit margin from recurring business activities. Adjusted Gross Profit margin is defined as GAAP Gross Profit plus one time inventory write-offs related to HD9 business and inventories written off related to a legal dispute with a Co-manufacturer divided by GAAP Revenue.**

**Recent Business Highlights**

● Launched Supply Pack and Rocket Bottle products in partnership with a leading gaming franchise

● Expanded its program with one of the largest warehouse club operators with the first of multiple large-scale shipments rolling out to select warehouse locations across much of Canada.

● Began shipping the Sarsaparilla 12-packs to club store locations across most of Canada. Distribution now spans every Canadian province, significantly expanding availability of the Licensed partnership beverage lineup north of the border.

● Announced an expanded Club program extending momentum into 2026

● Strengthened C-level leadership in Operations and Marketing

"2025 marked a transformational year for Jones Soda, driven by strong top-line growth, expanded distribution, and meaningful operational improvements across our portfolio" said Scott Harvey, CEO of Jones Soda. "Throughout the year, we continually streamlined our operations, optimized our supply chain and implemented disciplined cost management, creating a more agile and efficient organization. These efforts, combined with innovative product launches and our partnership collaborations, have driven momentum across our portfolio and enhanced our presence in key consumer and retail channels. Our early success with new products reinforces our ability to anticipate trends and deliver offerings that resonate with consumers."

"Looking ahead to 2026, we are encouraged by strong first-quarter trends and the momentum established in 2025. Our focus remains on strengthening our core channels and delivering product innovation aligned with what our consumers are demanding. Combined with expanded distribution, strategic partnerships, and initiatives such as our warehouse club program, we are positioned to accelerate revenue growth, expand margins, and deliver sustained profitability and long-term shareholder value."

**Full Year 2025 Financial Results**

Revenue increased 41.9% to $25.3 million compared to $17.8 million in the prior year. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to new core soda sales through the club channel, incremental Direct to Consumer (DTC) sales, increased Food Service sales, increases in Modern Soda sales and increased HD9 sales.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, gross profit increased by $3.1 million, or 84.8%, to approximately $6.8 million compared to approximately $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 driven by the increase in net sales, and lower trade spend driven by product mix in the current year compared to the prior year. The Company made improvements in inventory management in 2025; however, it still had material inventory impairment charges related to the HD9 business driven by legislative changes made by the Federal Government in November 2025.

<sup>2</sup> Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is meant to reflect management's view of recurring business activities. It is reconciled to the GAAP measure "Net Income (Loss) from continuing operations" by removing interest expense, interest income, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and one-time items.

Total operating expenses were $11.5 million compared to $13.4 million in the prior year. The reduction was primarily attributable to declines in both selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses as the Company focused on reducing spending throughout 2025.

Net loss was reduced by $8.1 million to $1.8 million, or $(0.01) per share, from a $9.9 million loss, or $(0.09) per share in the prior year. The majority of the decrease in net loss in 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily driven by the gain on the sale of the Company's Cannabis business ($3.9 million) and a decrease in the loss from operations ($5.0 million).

Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(3)</sup> from continuing operations was ($2.0) million compared to $(7.2) million, an improvement of $5.2 million, or 72%.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3.6 million compared to $1.3 million as of December 31, 2024.

**First Quarter and 2026 Revenue Guidance**

The following forward-looking statements reflect the Company's expectations as of March 31, 2026. They are subject to substantial uncertainty and may be materially affected by many factors, many of which are outside of the Company's control.

Based on preliminary first quarter revenues recognized as of March 30, 2026, the Company currently expects first quarter revenues to exceed $12 million or 260% higher than prior year first quarter revenues.

Additionally, the Company expects that its growth rate on 2025 full year revenues to exceed 60% in fiscal 2026.

**Presentation of Non-GAAP Information**

This press release contains disclosure of the Company's Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin which are not a United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principle ("GAAP") financial measures. The difference between Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) and Net Loss (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) It is reconciled to the GAAP measure "Net Income (Loss) from continuing operations" by removing interest expense, interest income, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and one-time items. Adjusted Gross Profit margin is defined as GAAP Gross Profit plus one time inventory write-offs related to HD9 business and inventories written off related to a legal dispute with a Co-manufacturer divided by GAAP Revenue. We have included reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin to GAAP Gross Profit Margin under "Jones Soda Co. Non-GAAP Reconciliation" at the end of this press release. These non-GAAP measures 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 and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin have 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, depreciation and one-time non-recurring items that is consistent with the manner in which management evaluates 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 the Company's current ability to generate cash flow. Adjusted EBITDA 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. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin should be reviewed in conjunction with GAAP Gross Profit Margin.
