Rapid expansion poised to continue in 2021

THE ALKALINE WATER COMPANY (NASDAQ:WTER | CSE:WTER)

Alkaline Water (NASDAQ:WTER | CSE:WTER) has made a name for itself as the leading producer of premium bottled alkaline water, flavor-infused waters, and CBD-infused products. Together, they are sold under the brand names Alkaline88®, A88 Infused™, and A88CBD™, respectively.

Aggressive product expansion has been part of the firm’s growth blueprint since it began. And with the company now positioned to build on the record-breaking success it enjoyed last year, these years of strategizing are bearing serious fruit for investors.

Beyond its flagship beverage brands, Alkaline Water (NASDAQ:WTER | CSE:WTER) has huge plans to expand its series of CBD-infused products in 2021. This is an area Wright expects to do “exceptionally well” under a Biden presidency and Democrat-controlled Senate.

The federal decriminalization of cannabis — passed by sweeping reforms in Congress in December 2020 but all-but doomed with a Republican Senate majority — is now back in play.

“THIS POTENTIALLY OPENS UP EVER GREATER ACCEPTANCE FROM THE BIGGEST BILLION-DOLLAR CHAINS IN THE US TO CDB PRODUCT LINES, AND IT’S NOW A MATTER OF WHEN RATHER THAN IF THAT HAPPENS,” WRIGHT NOTED TO US. “THIS COULD WELL BE THE REAL CBD BREAKTHROUGH YEAR, AND THE WAY WE’RE ALREADY POSITIONED BOTH IN BOTH E-COMMERCE AND BRICK AND MORTAR STORES SETS US UP TO LEAD AND SUCCEED.”

ALKALINE WATER’S BRIGHT FUTURE

THE ALKALINE WATER COMPANY (NASDAQ:WTER | CSE:WTER)

Critically for investors, Alkaline Water’s (NASDAQ:WTER | CSE:WTER) rapid expansion has repeatedly translated into record-breaking numbers.

In fiscal 2020, the business reported its highest ever annual revenues despite the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. In March and April 2020, year over year sales growth smashed all previous records at 114% and 171% respectively.

The firm stole a march on its peers by creating deeper product lines, engineering faster scale-up targets, expanding its broker network, hiring new staff to cope with demand, and launching a public-facing e-commerce store.

And this growth has continued into Alkaline Water’s (NASDAQ:WTER | CSE:WTER) current fiscal year.

As of September 30, 2020, which represents the company’s second fiscal quarter, revenue was $10.8 million while earnings per share shot up by 14.3% year-on-year and purchase orders hit the second-highest level in the company’s history.

The company also added over 1,000 nationwide store locations for its A88 lifestyle brands, while Nielsen data pegged Alkaline88 as the fastest-growing value-added water product across 13-week, 26-week and 52-week periods.

For fiscal 2021, the company is now guiding revenues in the range of $48 million to $52 million, representing year-on-year growth of between 17% and 27%.

With so many growing sales channels and revenue streams, the future looks very bright indeed for The Alkaline Water Company (NASDAQ:WTER | CSE:WTER).
