JRJR NETWORKS FILES THIRD QUARTER 10-Q
NINE MONTH YTD REVENUE UP 16%
COMPANY RESTORES COMPLIANCY WITH NYSE LISTING REQUIREMENTS
For Immediate Release
(Dallas, TX, January 3, 2017) - JRjr33, Inc., doing business as JRJR Networks [NYSE MKT: JRJR] today announced it filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2016 on Friday, December 30, 2016.
John Walker, the Chief Financial Officer commented, “We are pleased to file the Q by the original filing extension for the September 30, 2016 10-Q granted by the Exchange. This filing comes just three weeks after the December 6, 2016 filing of the 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2016. While the Exchange provided an additional extension to file the September 10-Q until January 31, 2017, the organization felt it was important to demonstrate the seriousness in which we have taken this issue. I believe this speaks of the Company’s commitment to adhering to the listing requirements of the Exchange and the importance of this information for our shareholders. While it has been a trying and costly exercise regaining compliancy, we are very pleased with the conclusion of this process and will now start work on our annual audit.
I am also pleased to report higher year to date gross revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which are up 16% percent over the prior year. Improvements in our restructuring programs yielded a $782 thousand savings in general and administrative expenses for the quarter. While it has been a challenging year, we are pleased to have the distracting issues facing the business behind us and look forward to focusing on our business and growth initiatives in 2017.
We are reviewing several interesting opportunities that will continue to enhance the brand and business model that we are committed to. We look forward to beginning 2017 with a series of operating initiatives focused on brand supremacy, sales penetration and additional operational enhancements.”

Net revenue for the third quarter was approximately $28.5 million, which is comparable to last year’s net revenue of $31.1 million. The net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was approximately $88.8 million, compared to $79.8 million during the same period for the prior year, an increase of $9.0 million, or 11.3%.
Gross profit was approximately $19.4 million, compared to $21.4 million in the same quarter last year.

The gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 56.3%, compared to 60.7% during the same period for the prior year. The decrease in gross profit margin is primarily due to our acquisition of Betterware which has lower gross profit margins compared to the other companies in the portfolio.
Operating loss for the third quarter improved to approximately $4.1 million, compared to $4.4 million in the prior year, a change of $0.3 million. The operating loss increased to approximately $15.5 million, compared to $11.1 million in the prior year, a change of $4.4 million. The operating loss decreased in the third quarter due to a decrease in the gross profit which was a result of lower profit margins.

The net loss increased as a result of the increase in operating losses as well as the increase in interest expense as a result of the Company taking on additional debt in quarter four of last year as well as $859 thousand in late filing penalties to Dominion.
Adjusted EBITDA (losses) for the quarter was approximately $1.7 million, or a loss of 4.9% of revenue, which is consistent with the prior year’s loss of $1.7 million, or a loss of 4.5% of revenue. The adjusted EBITDA (losses) for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was approximately $8.0 million, or a loss of 7.5% of revenue, which has increased from the prior year’s loss of $2.4 million, or a loss of 2.6% of revenue.

Cautionary Note Regarding Adjusted EBITDA
This news release includes information on Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about our period-over-period growth. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and is also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. We also rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of our company and our management team.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate adjusted EBITDA by taking net income, and adding back the expenses related to interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization, stock compensation expenses, non-cash compensation, deferred rent, inventory write-off adjustments, gains/losses in relation to the sale of an asset, asset impairment costs such as goodwill or other identifiable intangible impairment, asset fair value adjustments, and debt forgiveness expenses, as each of those elements are calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as a substitute for net income (loss) (as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance or financial position, as Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by GAAP. A reconciliation is provided above in this press release.
