  • nBev utilizing own DSD network and account relationships to facilitate distribution expansion
  • First ambient distribution of a Kombucha brand, leveraging Bucha's proprietary production process facilitating ambient shipping without product degradation of live probiotics

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / August 11, 2016 / New Age Beverages Corporation (OTC: NBEV) the Colorado-based owner of the XingTea®, XingEnergy®, Aspen Pure®, and the Búcha® Live Kombucha brands today announced that it has expanded its Búcha® Live Kombucha brand through the New Age Beverage distribution system in Colorado and gained more than 200 new points of distribution in the first 30 days since the combination was announced on June 30th.

New Age Beverages Corporation was formed on June 30th, 2016 when Búcha, Inc. acquired the assets and XingTea®, AspenPure®, and New Age Beverages LLC. One of the major planned benefits of the acquisition was a range of cost and revenue synergies totaling more than $7.5 million. In cost synergies the group is targeting cost of goods sold, shipping, operating expense and other savings. In revenue synergies, the Company is looking to leverage its existing customer relationships, and utilize existing distribution relationships with its own DSD operations and its network of DSD providers across the United States.

nBev has now gained more than 200 outlets in just Colorado alone in the past few weeks, including multiple locations in the Denver Airport, including major outlets like the Vertical Mile and Jamba Juice. The group has also begun penetration of the convenience and gas channel including outlets such as Shell, Conoco, Amoco and others, and has penetrated alternative channels including Hilton Hotels and major outlets including Castle Rock and Littleton Hospitals.

Josh Hillegass, Vice President of the New Age Beverage Operations in Colorado commented, "Talking about synergies and delivering them are two different things. There is a big difference between plans and execution, and I am very pleased that our team is executing. We service more than 4,500 outlets in the Colorado market alone, are just getting started, and the responsiveness from customers and sell through on Búcha has been excellent. It is great to have a new brand in our portfolio, that we own, that consumers love, and provide excellent margins for both retailers and distributors."
