Orlando, FL (PRWEB) June 7, 2006
In 1992, Rodney C. Sacks and partner bought a relatively unknown maker of natural sodas and juices for $15 million in 1992; it is worth $3 billion today. Hansen Natural (HANS: NASDAQ), has been stealing considerable market share from leading beverage companies Coke and Pepsi despite their long established worldwide influence in the industry. The share price has surged 6000% to $140 a share in the past few years.
Hansen Natural’s success is a testimony to the fact that in a world with constantly changing consumer demand, there is always opportunity for companies to tackle niche markets and succeed. This is certainly a great Cinderella Stock story and those that were able to invest in the early stages several years ago have been rewarded handsomely.
So is there another beverage company out there today that is in the early stages of development that has the potential to grow dramatically over the next few years and potentially provide shareholders with incredible gains. BRAVO!
BRAVO! DISCOVERING THE WORLD’S NEXT CINDERELLA STOCK!
Bravo! Foods International Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: BRVO), is a brand development and marketing company that manufactures, promotes and distributes vitamin - fortified, flavored milk drinks and other beverages. Bravo! Foods International Corp. develops, brands, markets, distributes and sells nutritious, flavored milk products throughout the 50 United States, Great Britain and various Middle Eastern countries. Bravo!'s Slammers® products are available nationwide in popular chains such as: 7-Eleven, A&P, Dutch Farms, Giant Food Stores, Jewel, Kings, Pathmark, Safeway, Sam's Club, Shaw's, ShopRite, Speedway, SuperTarget, Unified, Waldbaums and Walgreens.
RECORD REVENUES
In March, Bravo! reported Record Revenue for of $11.9 million, an increase of 257% over the prior year’s revenue of $3.3 million. Already in the first quarter of 2006 the company reported revenue of $3.6 million, an increase of 297% over first quarter 2005. What will happen for the remainder of 2006? Management’s guidance for 2006 is in a range of $42-46 million! If that goal is attained we again are looking at another 300% increase in revenue from 2005!
INCREDIBLE CONTRACTS
On November 1, 2005, Coca-Cola Enterprises, Inc. began distribution of the Slammers® Masterfoods line, as well as the Bravo!'s Slim Slammers® and Pro Slammers(TM) products, under a Master Distribution Agreement with Bravo!
What is of significant importance to note that this was a “soft launch” strategy not the actual “hard launch.” This strategy was used to insure there were no out of stock conditions for customers. Roy Warren, CEO states that “capacity is tripling during the current quarter and is set to reach 7.5 million units per month in July which will result in rapid sales expansion.”
Again we must commend an incredible 257% increase in revenues in the first quarter during the “soft launch,“ and anticipate incredible revenue generation and growth over the next several quarters during the full scale “Hard Launch!”
Another contract was announced in April in which Bravo! announced that they would Launch General Mills Branded Flavored Milks including TRIX, COCOA PUFFS, and WHEATIES flavored, fortified, extended shelf life milk drinks under a recently signed five year trademark licensing agreement with General Mills Marketing, Inc. In addition to these brands the agreement covers LUCKY CHARMS, COUNT CHOCULA, BOOBERRY, and FRANKENBERRY. Bravo! has the right to use the equity characters associated with each brand.
In May, Bravo announced that it had signed two new seven year licensing agreements for Canada and Mexico with Masterfoods USA, a division of Mars Incorporated. Masterfoods is a food manufacturer with over 5 Billion Dollars in annual sales! These two new licensing agreements are for seven years and are effective immediately.
INCREASING CONSUMER DEMAND
Last month, the nations largest beverage distributors agreed to stop selling non-diet sodas to most public schools in the United States, where childhood obesity has become an increasing concern. The deal is estimated to reach 87% of the school drink market. Coincidently, at the very same time, Bravo is introducing a new 8 ounce vendible bottle for the Coca-Cola Enterprises school program.
Also, in recent months it was announced that there is an attempt to introduce a Federal Bill that would ban unhealthy foods in school cafeterias and vending machines. Sponsored by Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Democrat Sen. Tom Harkin (Iowa), the Child Nutrition Promotion and School Lunch Protection Act would update the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s nutritional standards by which schools now abide, extending those standards to outside vendors who wish to sell inside public schools.
BRAVO! has strategically positioned itself as a “better for you” company. As we can see by recent developments the trend in the US is shifting to products that are great tasting and nutritious. As per recent developments, we can see some of the World’s largest companies strategically preparing for these changes now. As we can see, Bravo! and their shareholders are already beginning to benefit from these alliances.
SUMMARY
The world is constantly changing. Hansen Natural was able to create to capture a niche market several years ago that exploded the company into a multi-billion dollar enterprise and BRAVO today is now strategically positioned to greatly benefit from a new consumer focus on nutritious, great tasting drinks for the entire family. Bravo is now in a rapid growth stage and incredible shareholder gains may be realized from current trading levels. Move over Hans, there’s a new Cinderella in town. Do I need to say more! Bravo!
