57 new kiosk installations result in $2.2 million of revenue recognition

SAN DIEGO, June 05, 2019 // GLOBE NEWSWIRE // - via NEWMEDIAWIRE - Generation Next reported May revenue of approximately $2.2 million on 57 kiosk installations bringing the total revenue for the quarter to approximately $5.2 million. The Company repeated its expectation for revenue of $8.0 million for the fourth quarter ending June 30, 2019 and fiscal year revenue of $16.0 million.

“Production in the month of May was solid; we installed 57 units however we also replaced 14 alpha units already in the field with new technology and this slowed us down somewhat. The locations team delivered a monthly record securing 55 new locations for our franchisees, and franchise sales were within expectations given we had to re-file our franchise documents forcing us to stop selling for a period,” said Nick Yates, CEO of Generation Next Franchise Brands. “We finished the month with a great reception at the International Franchise Expo for Reis & Irvy’s, and the team at Print Mates is building the right assortment of retail and grocery chains around the country for us to test the product as we begin building our corporate owned route.”

Highlights for the month of May include:

• Delivered 57 Reis & Irvy’s unattended frozen yogurt robots to new locations (replaced 14 alpha units in existing locations)
• Reached 319 global units delivered with 274 in the United States and 45 combined in Australia and Canada
• Secured 55 new US locations for Reis & Irvy’s franchisees
• Finished the month with 123 franchisees operating a Reis & Irvy’s kiosk in the United States
• Sold an exclusive Reis & Irvy’s territory in Columbia, South Carolina
• Booked 30 new Reis & Irvy’s franchises worth $1.5 million in deferred revenues
• Entered into an agreement with a US mass market retailer to test Reis & Irvy’s in 10 locations
• Surpassed 400,000 cups of yogurt and $2.0 million of retail sales for Reis & Irvy’s franchisees
• Announced the signing of a partnership between Reis & Irvy’s and Vons (a division of Albertsons) to test locations within Southern California
• US State Department approves Passport Photo Printed at Print Mates Kiosk

The Company began delivering and installing Reis & Irvy’s kiosks in June 2018 and halted during December to repair engineering and manufacturing flaws in what it refers to as alpha units. These repairs took hold in February when the Company resumed manufacturing. Yates noted, “We decided to use a portion of our new production in May to replace multiple alpha units which require a higher level of upgrading then we can perform in the field. That decision lowered our May revenue target, but it was the right thing to do for our franchise network and the Reis & Irvy’s brand. We are on track to deliver the fourth quarter revenue we communicated in April. We enter June with an inventory of 48 Reis & Irvy’s kiosks in our possession and ready for installation.”
