  Eastside Distilling, Inc.(纳斯达克股票代码:EAST)最近面临着重大挑战,这反映在实时数据和InvestingPro Tips中。该公司的市值仅为166万美元,其财务状况受到密切关注,尤其是考虑到其市盈率(P/E)高达-0.17,这表明投资者对该公司的盈利前景持谨慎态度。截至2024年第一季度,过去12个月的调整后市盈率进一步下降至-0.26,突显出持续的担忧。

  该公司的收入有所下降,截至2024年第一季度,过去12个月的收入下降了22.61%。再加上毛利率只有6.03%,这表明Eastside Distilling正在努力将销售转化为有意义的利润。此外,该公司的营业利润率为-49.38%,令人担忧,这表明该公司的成本大大超过了其收入。

  InvestingPro Tips显示,Eastside Distilling公司背负着沉重的债务负担,可能难以支付债务利息。这是投资者需要考虑的一个关键问题,因为它可能会影响公司的财务稳定性和未来的增长潜力。此外,该股上周遭受重创,总回报率为-40.28%,反映了投资者情绪和市场对该公司业绩的反应。

  然而,对东区蒸馏公司来说,情况也不全是黯淡的。分析人士预计,该公司今年的销售额将会增长,净利润也有望增长。如果能成功地利用其战略举措和市场机遇,这些洞察可能预示着该公司的潜在转机。

  Geoffrey Gwin: Great. Thank you, Tiffany, and welcome to our first quarter 2024 conference call. We have a lot to discuss this quarter. In addition to Tiffany, I'm excited to have Conor Kilkenny join us today. Conor joined Eastside in January as the CEO of Craft and comes to us with an extensive background in manufacturing. Conor will share some of his first impressions of Crafts business and outlook in a moment. Now if you're new to the company, we operate two distinctly unique businesses, including a Craft Beverage services business, which we refer to as Craft. And we also have a Spirits business, which sells a number of great brands, including Burnside whiskeys, Portland Potato Vodka and Azunia Tequila, primarily in the Pacific Northwest as well as other regional markets. Now one particular highlight in our company is the investment craft and digital can printing a couple of years ago. This is a very new technology that allows us to decorate 100% recyclable aluminum cans for the Craft Beverage segment. This is a very exciting business opportunity for us as one of the most dynamic and competitive spaces in consumer packaging. Now new entrants in this category are faced with tough decisions as they chart at out to market. It's a crowded space and extremely expensive to launch a new beverage brand. Think about it. How many new products have you come across in your daily life over the last year? Now I'd be surprised if you actually guess that number correctly. I suspect you'd be way off on that number. But the reality is many new products are simply out, go unnoticed. They simply show up. You may notice them briefly, but they fade away and the morass of all the new ideas and concepts we see daily. Now for a startup, reaching you a potential consumer, just getting your attention, but alone actually building brand equity with you is a huge challenge. Now there are many paths you can take to try to build your brand. Take for example, the influencer space, which at times feels like a tsunami from me. People fill my inboxes daily suggesting that they can introduce us to influencers in the spirit side. There is an unknowable army of people claiming to have access to this social media large segment of promoters who can get your product in front of large numbers of virals. For many brands, navigating that road is fraught with challenges. Now why is this important for us? It's important because marketing around your product has changed. When I say around the product where I'm talking about, where it's sold on the shelf, the point of purchase, the moment a consumer makes a choice, that moment is huge. It's a moment of opportunity. Unlike a consumer connecting online, we have to see it, seek it out, find it, purchase it, have intent. On the shelf at retail, you're at the moment of opportunity as the consumer rolls by. They are there to buy something. So a new brand has a huge opportunity to win a customer. And I've said this repeatedly in the past, in the Craft Beverage based, the great equalizer here at the moment of opportunity is the packaging opportunity. You can go right with old boring cans and old technology or you can pick something that speaks to the consumer. Consumer beverage marketing has changed and we deliver the opportunity to run circles around national brands. To see this opportunity you need to start by wandering through the craft beer space in your grocery store. There, you will see great marketing, local brands, fighting successfully for shelf space. We see them win daily with data. Craft beer is not struggling. Those brands that embrace their advantage are winning in that aisle of the grocery store, you will see can decoration and mini forms, old school, screen friended, limited colors, same, seen it there always, same design. You'll see paper labels not recyclable, shrink rep plastic labels not recyclable. The latter two are difficult because they require high volumes and a lot of working capital. And in our market, you'll see a new type of digital packaging, digitally printed cans, these cans are extraordinary. They are the digital billboard that can change after 15 minutes when you drive by the stadium on the way home from a concert show. They can be unique, unique for a season, for a day, for a week. They can be a special beer, unexpected hard to get seasonal. The opportunities are endless here. Beverage manufacturers embracing this technology are just getting started. I started talking about this adoption two years ago, we've only seen a gain momentum. But now we finally have to see data that shows that these digital trend cans are driving incremental sales for our customers. We saw the adoption expanding again this quarter. In fact, I would say the adoption is accelerating for us. In the quarter, Craft produced a record number of cans. Conor will talk about that in a moment. Now while gross margins were impacted by a number of factors, including transitioning to a lower-priced can contract, expensing new parts and a price investment for large volume, we are pleased with the performance. We expect improved margins in Q2, but most importantly, we see this business growing and evolving very quickly. Now I'm going to let Conor talk in more detail about digital printing and craft, but I want to talk for a minute about the spirits and its performance for the quarter. Spirits had a great quarter, producing the best operating result without bulk sales we've seen in some time. EBITDA for that segment was only a $56,000 loss for the core for the entire quarter. importantly, volumes work and were in line with what our expectations were despite the clear trend of consumers trading down at retail. Now this consumer shift has been ongoing for a few quarters now, and we've seen it across multiple categories. Also, it's important to keep an eye on agave prices. We're seeing input prices come off all-time highs, and we expect to see savings in the upcoming quarters there. That said, the tequila market is clearly facing strong near-term headwinds as consumers trade down there as well. We embarked on a multiyear effort to refocus our spirits investment in profitable segments and regions. And we will have more to report on that progress in the coming quarters, but suffice it to say, for Q1, I'm really pleased with the results. Now I want to pause there and introduce Conor, our CEO at Craft, and he can take you through his thoughts on the progress there and a little bit more about his background. Welcome, Conor.

  Conor Kilkenny: Thank you, Geoffrey, and I'm very excited to be a part of the team. I look forward to meeting some of you on the call and you're always welcome to visit our facility in Portland. First, a bit about my background. I have an 11 year career working for a large scale engineering firm focusing on manufacturing efficiency. In 2013, myself and a man from Dublin, Ireland named James Gill started an engineering office in our garages, which focused on large scale high-tech manufacturing. Over the course of the next 11 years, we grew Barry-Wehmiller Design Group's high-tech consulting practice to the third largest in the United States. This experience gave me insights into the some of the world's largest and best run operations across multiple sectors and consumer products, but also how to set up a company for rapid scaling. I believe Craft will benefit from a number of process improvements that are already being implemented. For Q1 of this year, Craft's production output was 320%. I'll say that again, 320% higher than Q1 of 2023. We had three record months of production in historically the most difficult quarter, and we're on track for a fourth. Now I'll start my comments by echoing what I've heard over the past four months as I've traveled and meet new customers. What is clear is that, digital can printing isn't just a trend, it's an industry revolution. Unlike cans burdened by wasteful sticker labels and plastic wraps, our 100% recyclable solution is a game changer. Distribution and retail partners alike are recognizing the environmental impact and the digital printing crashed to the forefront of sustainable packaging solutions. Another primary benefit of our product, shelf presence. Forward thinking brands are unlocking the full potential of our technology to forge deeper connections with consumers. Our technology offers millions of color combinations and a multitude of finishes ranging from metallics, sophisticated mattes and high gloss applications. Furthermore, our technology empowers brands to add another dimension with unique can textures, creating a truly immersive brand experience. And our commitment to producing cans with the highest quality doesn't go unnoticed. We recently won Decoration of the Year for our Mother's Day can, featuring a unique texture that personalizes each can with the name of every mother in their company, an award which serves as a testament to our dedication to innovation and eye catching design. Yet another piece that differentiates Craft is our decade of experience of being a world class mobile canner. We have a firsthand understanding of the rigors of our production line and have leveraged our expertise to create cans with unmatched durability. They'll not only look stunning on store shelves, but also run flawlessly on high speed lines, minimizing downtime and maximizing efficiency. In fact, we're seeing broad adoption and I'm pleased to report we won three new large volume customers. Winning a customer like that is a big deal because you're winning their confidence. You become their supply chain and their marketing platform. So performance in between the four walls matters, quality matters and craft means quality. To further increase our quality and throughput, we began making incremental investments to improve our manufacturing and while that impacted margins in the short term, it will drastically improve the end result. Everything we are doing here is being done the right way, no cutting corners. We believe in doing something once and doing it right. In summary, I'm very excited to be a part of this exciting new business and I have a world class team to work with. And I want to take a second to recognize the leadership of that team. We have Bill Anders who leads our manufacturing. Bill has over a decade of experience in mobile canning and printing industry. And in my opinion, he's also the most knowledgeable pro in the industry when it comes to operating and maximizing the output of a digital printer. Leading our co packing and mobile division is Michael Kilgore, a seasoned industry veteran with over a decade of experience from head brewer to a wide ranges of experience in co packing and mobile canning. His diverse expertise lends to his ability to drive process improvements and maximize efficiency. The last person I want to recognize is our controller, Bruce Wells. Bruce is the most experienced pro in our company and it's also a manufacturing cost accountant. Bruce's knowledge allows us to have extremely accurate estimates on our manufacturing costs, which allows us to be very targeted as to where we implement improvements that yield the highest ROIs. One final announcement I would like to make is, we have recently hired a Business Development Manager, Kevin Mann. Kevin is based in Seattle, Washington and was the Marketing and Sales Director for nearly half a decade for a national beverage company, Ninkasi. His leadership led them through an explosive growth period. Kevin has relationships with most of the major beverage companies, distributors and grocers in the Western U.S. He understands the entire lifecycle of our cans from the source to the end consumer and is already forming strategic partnerships that are immediately translating into sales. Now with that, I will turn it over to Tiffany.

  Tiffany Milton:谢谢你,康纳。我将总结本季度的财务结果,然后回答大家的问题。在合并的基础上,我们的总销售额为250万美元,第一季度为2400万美元,2023年第一季度为290万美元,主要是由于散装烈酒销售额为60万美元,被印刷罐销售额的增加所抵消。随着印刷最终充分发挥其潜力,2024年的工艺品销售额为180万美元,2023年为150万美元。2024年烈酒销售额为60万美元,2023年为140万美元,由于2023年第一季度散装烈酒销售下降。我们的综合毛利润在2024年第一季度为20万美元,在2023年为60万美元,主要是由于我们在2023年第一季度的散装烈酒销售额为50万美元,我们的综合毛利率为8%,而在2023年为24%和22%。2024年Craft的利润率为3%,2023年为- 7%。2024年和2023年烈酒利润率分别为23%和54%,主要与图书烈酒销售有关。2024年第一季度的运营费用为120万美元,2023年第一季度为190万美元,减少了近65万美元。我们较低的费用反映了我们在整个2023年的重组努力取得了成功。我们2024年第一季度的净亏损为130万美元,2023年第一季度为160万美元,调整后的EBITDA在这两个时期都持平在负80万美元左右。现在请大家提问。运营商吗?

  接线员:现在我们开始问答环节。今天第一个问题来自罗斯公司的肖恩·麦高恩。请继续。

  杰弗里·格温:嗨,肖恩。

  肖恩·麦高恩:嗨,杰夫,你好吗?你能给我们更清楚地了解一下数字罐装打印机的输出增量吗?比如你看到的是什么样的上升?

  杰弗里·格温:我先开始,如果你们愿意,我会让康纳补充。我认为第一季度的销量确实达到了我们的预期。正如康纳所说,我的意思是,每年的比较是没有可比性的,我们现在真的完全进入了全天候印刷。这基本上使这个东西很快就会达到满负荷运转。我们将有机会从中获得更多,但我认为我们正走在填满机器的道路上。我预计我们将在本季度晚些时候,在今年晚些时候宣布更多的产能将在工厂上线。所以我们可以用一台机器生产两倍的产品。所以我对这种增长非常满意。柯南在消除瓶颈方面做得非常出色,但更重要的是,他走出这个领域,真正看到客户群了解市场在哪里,把人们拉到数字印刷领域。我不能强调这在今天有多重要,因为一旦你让他们过来,你改变他们的供应链,你开始真正向他们展示他们可以用这种新包装做什么,然后你就真的处于一个建立起来的位置。这也是一个重复发生的事情,对吧?所以我们每个周期都会转售这些东西。肖恩,我对我们现在的进展很满意。

  肖恩·麦高恩:好的。我不知道是否会有更多关于康纳的细节,但实际数字,收入数字与我所掌握的相差不大,但我只是想知道我们是如何做到的。比如你得到了预期的价格吗?你得到的罐头数量达到你想要的了吗?

  杰弗里·格温:我们的易拉罐销量比预期的要低一些,但部分原因是进入了季度。我们必须努力确保我们的机器在我们需要的水平上工作,以获得我们期望的数量,我们正在寻找的一致性和可靠性。但为了吸引更大的客户,我们进行了一些价格投资,但没有预期的那么多。再一次,我们所看到的,康纳可以回应这一点,可能是客户的广度,肖恩,正在转移比我预期的更广泛。举个例子,如果你今年夏天想去看道奇队的棒球赛,你喝的啤酒就会装在我们印刷的罐子里。我们开始为其他大学团体做业务它们是NIL的一部分,对吗?所以这不是在追逐同样的大客户,在价格上争夺他们,这些客户开始特别需要这种独特的东西,他们正在寻找能够真正从数字印刷的优势中受益的东西。

  肖恩·麦高恩:谢谢。你能提供的任何更新都将有助于支撑资产负债表或任何变化,无论是在本季度还是在评分之后。

  Geoffrey Gwin:这是个好问题。我的意思是,每个人显然都意识到并关注的一件大事是纳斯达克上市问题。去年,我们走上了这条路,这是我已经工作了两年的事情,就是修复资产负债表。修复资产负债表一直是我们的首要任务,我们已经在这方面做出了重大改变。去年,我们减少了一大笔债务转换为股权。这是一个艰难的选择,但这是一个选择,我认为这是一个绝对必要的选择,使我们能够投资于业务并向前发展。我认为这是第一季度和第二季度的重点。我们正在寻求建立一个可信的计划,不仅仅是完全建立在资产负债表调整,债务与权益的关系上,而是建立在现在的损益表上。你开始在公司看到的是损益表的变化,对吗?我们看到Crafts的收入确实比以往有所增长,因为我们重新调整了业务。但在Spirit方面,我们正处于一个你开始看到业务真正实现收支平衡的阶段。我们在评论中提到了这一点,我现在重申一下,我们正在与集团进行深入讨论,你们应该很快就会听到我们的消息,这些消息将在今年下半年真正推动烈酒进入一个新的盈利领域。因此,在资产负债表上,我们正在进行一些可能的改变,以使我们符合纳斯达克的要求,并完成损益表上的一些优先事项,推动Craft从一个设施中发挥全部能力,利用多台数字打印机的固定费用。然后在精神方面,最终达到一个点,我们产生正的现金和净收入的业务。我认为,这两个因素将是资产负债表上最好的固定因素。

  肖恩·麦高恩:好的。欣赏。

  接线员:[接线员说明]下一个问题来自Laridae Capital的马特·坎贝尔。请继续。

  杰弗里·格温:嗨,马特。

  马修·坎贝尔:嗨,杰夫。我想说的是,我在这里经历了很长一段时间。但听到基尔肯尼先生说要招聘一名业务开发人员,我很高兴。现在听起来我们正在雇佣一些人去为我们带来业务,这是非常了不起的。我没听错吧?

  杰弗里·格温:当然。康纳,你想谈谈你的团队和你在西雅图的投资吗?

  康纳·基尔肯尼:是的。所以我们的第一个目标是在西雅图雇佣一名销售人员。但我们列出了我们在那里寻找的一套技能,主要是针对业务开发经理来帮助我们的销售团队,我们找到了一个人,就像我说的,他有五年的经验,在西北最大的饮料公司之一担任市场营销和销售总监。他非常非常渴望,但他也非常善于发现我们如何为客户增加价值。所以我们不只是给他们提供一个漂亮的罐子,我们还可以帮助他们预测他们的商业战略,以及如何利用这些。在最初的三个星期里,他已经卖出了大量的罐头。

  马修·坎贝尔:这很有帮助。所以听起来你们已经解决了印刷方面的问题,你们可以推动收入,这真是太好了。在工艺那边还有其他一次性物品吗?比如移动罐装业务在哪里?现在我们的收支平衡了吗,就不会流血了?我们喜欢那里的颜色。

  杰弗里·格温:说吧,康纳。

  康纳·基尔肯尼:是的。移动业务在第一季度实际上是正的EBITDA。所以,是的,我们已经将运营成本降低到与销售相一致的水平。它实际上是在盈亏平衡之上。

  Geoffrey Gwin:所以请记住,只是提醒一下电话中的人,Craft的传统业务是移动业务,这实际上是一个令人着迷的业务。我的意思是,对于那些不知道它的概念的人来说,我认为,实际上是由Craft和人们,Craft的四个房间起源的。我的意思是,这是一项设想的业务,他们采用了一条非常小的灌装线,雁线,并能够将其设计成适合于一辆货车,然后他们去当地的一个地方,就像一个小啤酒厂,然后他们基本上成功地将设备和生产能力带到当地。这听起来很复杂,确实如此。为了扩大业务规模,公司努力争取投资回报,因为如果你可以想象一下移动一个很小的工厂足迹,我们在高峰时期有13个工厂,把它们转移到客户那里,再把它们带回来,你要承担巨大的风险和运营复杂性。然后不可避免地,当客户变得足够大时,他们就会离开,建立自己的工厂或购买自己的设备。现在我们还没有完全退出手机市场,因为手机用户对我们来说非常重要。我的意思是,这是我们DNA的一部分,但也告诉公司如何更好地为客户服务。因此,虽然我们减少了移动业务,我们已经退出了丹佛,我们也在一定程度上减少了西雅图和斯波坎的业务。我们仍然在波特兰非常活跃,我们将继续在波特兰非常活跃。但正如康纳所说,我们已经到了把握机会的地步。这是我们可以交叉销售的一个重要部分。但是最大的机会,就像你说的,是数码印刷。在北美只有少数人会数码印刷。对其他技术的投资显然没有效果。幸运的是,我们在Hinterkopf有一个很好的合作伙伴。这是我们的技术合作伙伴,帮助我们的设备。我们在这里翻倍。至于一次性项目,你可以想象,我的意思是,在一个季度里有很多事情需要你做出反应。所以当我们看到我们面前的需求量康纳得到了这个需求。对我们来说,我们必须满足客户的需求。我们不可能从别人那里赢了100万,然后在周日下午醒来说,我们没有多余的钱来维持这个项目整个周末。所以我们在这个季度确实有一些项目我们必须在这个季度花费。举个例子,我们买了大量的备用价格。我们为此付出了代价。我们有很多废料,我们赶上了,因为我们增加了额外的运费。另一件事,我要向康纳致敬,他负责我们的罐头成本。我们在罐头方面的供应链合作伙伴是杰出的,他们帮助我们找到更便宜的罐头,所以我们可以以更好的价格提供给我们的客户。因此,我们在这个季度推出了一些通常我们不会推出的高价计划。所以当我展望未来时,我认为我们的毛利率确实会有所提高。就像我之前说过的,当你的设备马力更大的时候,你的生意就会有更大的机会。你不需要再支付大量操作员的费用,因为我们的操作员非常出色,他们可以管理两台机器。你不需要支付另一笔租金,你不需要支付更多的管理费用,因为这将是杠杆化的。当我们销售罐头时,销量从每月200万美元上升到一个更大的数字,你会看到利润率和盈利能力的变化。

  马修·坎贝尔:这很有帮助,戈夫。你如何详细解释肖恩·麦高恩关于烈酒生意的问题?你说你在讨论让烈酒盈利。很明显,你评论了龙舌兰的价格现在正在下降,但我们永远不知道龙舌兰的去向。因此,把这个问题排除在外,你想在这里建立合作关系吗?我们应该如何考虑,我们应该做些什么,才能真正开始加速我们在这些品牌上的机会,这些品牌现在已经有一段时间没有得到任何温柔的关怀了。

  杰弗里·格温:是的。这是个大问题。我的意思是,公司在两年前评估了销售品牌,基本上不是在刚刚过去的圣诞节,而是在那之前的节日。我们花了整整一年的时间研究这些品牌,与可能对它们感兴趣的人交谈,我们一直在继续这样做。但我们已经意识到的一件事是,通过继续学习这门课程来提高他们的表现,特别是他们的盈利能力,这是一个巨大的机会来最大化品牌价值。我们面临的挑战之一你必须回到公司几年前的历史,公司的建立是为了大规模生产产品,当时的愿景是为我们的一个品牌服务,我们不再参与其中,那就是Redneck Riviera品牌。我们把混合威士忌带到波特兰。我们生产产品,然后把它运回东部。从概念上讲,试图保持低成本是没有意义的,不可避免地,这被证明是一个非常糟糕的商业决策,因为在一天结束的时候,我们最终在货架上拥有一个非常昂贵的位置,我们无法在那里竞争。因此,随着公司在销售方面全面裁员,它的整个市场运作向东。哈罗德·韦伯可能在电话中记得这个因为他在电话后问了这些问题为什么不在新泽西,为什么不把产品带到。整个设备非常昂贵,在三层分销系统中,你必须非常关注你的投资和市场进入计划。所以在这种情况下,当我们回到现实,我们专注于我们的关键核心市场,我们从来没有缩小制造业的规模。下一步的关键目标之一是最终处于成本领先地位。因此,我们希望在我们的市场中占据重要的市场份额和品牌资产。我们可以提高产量,但我们希望在成本上处于领先地位,不仅仅是在包装和液体方面,还有我们的管理费用。所以你已经看到了液体,因为,我的意思是,看,在过去的两年里,我们以创纪录的价格批发波旁威士忌,你可以看到这个季度的利润率与上一季度相比,去年与今年相比,我们的盈利能力非常高,因为我们以很高的价格批发波旁威士忌。我们在那里的成本很低,但我们意识到批发价格真的很高。所以我想说的是我们的成本在所有地方都是低的。包装(纽约证券交易所代码:PKG),液体,我们现在刚刚完成了管理费部分,我们将有足够的毛利率来做我所说的工艺方面的事情,这是围绕我们的品牌和烈酒的市场。如果说这家公司拥有两个不同的部门,烈酒业务,消费产品烈酒业务,以及独特的数字培训业务有什么好处的话,那就是它意识到了酒类商店货架上的酒瓶营销的重要性。我们过去在波特兰开拓者牌上花了很多钱在广告牌上,各种各样的东西上,但我们没有在商店里围绕瓶子进行营销。当我们把成本定位正确,我们有足够的可支配资金来进攻市场时,我们就会赢,我们就会获得份额,你就会看到销量增长,它们将从波特兰开始,我们也将利用我们在龙舌兰省下来的钱在Azunia做同样的事情。Azunia有点复杂,因为它是一个多州产品,它通过传统的分销系统,我们必须与分销伙伴合作,这是一个长期的挑战。在俄勒冈州,这是一个控制州,所以这是一艘驶向市场的船。所以我非常乐观,我们在这方面处于有利地位。所以今年我们会看到一些精神上的改善。我现在还不能谈论这个新的潜在合作关系,但我觉得我们真的快达成了。

  Matthew Campbell:非常感谢,祝你们未来好运。期待着看到我们开始扭转损益表。很棒的工作。

  接线员:我们的问答环节到此结束。我想把会议交给Geoffrey Gwin来做结束语。

  杰弗里·格温:太好了。谢谢你,加里。我要感谢在座的各位收听我们的电话会议,我们期待着第二季度的最新进展。好吧。太好了。祝您晚上愉快。

  接线员:会议到此结束。感谢您参加今天的演讲。您现在可以断开连接。
