Safety Shot Expects Approximately 50% Revenue Growth in Q4
JUPITER, Fla., Dec. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Safety Shot, Inc. (NASDAQ:SHOT) ("Safety Shot" or "the Company") today announced an expected surge in revenue growth projected to exceed approximately 50% in Q4 2024 over Q3 of 2024. This projected performance is believed to be fueled by a combination of factors, including the rebranding of its flagship product, Sure Shot, which the Company believes has captured significant market share; strategic alliances with retailers, expanding the Company's reach across the country; and the strategic sale of securities, providing crucial capital to fuel further growth. The Company believes these anticipated results are a testament to the Company's strategic vision and execution.
The Company expects an increase in revenue compared to the previous quarter, with projections indicating this upward trajectory will continue through December. The Company believes this expected growth underscores the effectiveness of Safety Shot's strategic vision, including the rebranding of its flagship product to Sure Shot, the establishment of key distribution partnerships with industry giants, and the successful execution of capital-raising initiatives. This projected success is particularly notable given that it encompasses the holiday season, a period of peak consumer spending, suggesting a strong foundation for continued growth in the new year.
"Safety Shot is firing on all cylinders," said Jarrett Boon, CEO of Safety Shot, Inc. "We believe our strategic initiatives are paying off in a big way. The rebranding of Sure Shot coupled with our partnerships with major retailers have significantly expanded our reach. We've also been successful in securing the necessary capital to fuel our growth."
"We believe our pipeline of new business is rapidly expanding," says Boon. "We're aggressively pursuing sales and distribution opportunities across the US to ensure Sure Shot is available everywhere consumers are seeking a responsible drinking option. We look forward to announcing further initiatives in Q1."
The Company believes that the third quarter of 2024 was a strategic turning point for Safety Shot, as the Company focused on rebranding its flagship product and optimizing its inventory to prepare for the highly anticipated Sure Shot launch. This involved a strategic markdown of existing inventory to clear the path for the new product line.
The fourth quarter has witnessed Sure Shot capture a significant market share. We believe this success is attributed to a combination of strategic advantages:
- Strong Distribution Network: Safety Shot has secured distribution agreements with a variety of leading retailers, making Sure Shot widely available across the country. These partnerships include major grocery chains across the Southwest and Midwest, another prominent grocery chain with over 300 stores, convenience stores like 7-Eleven, and online retail giants such as Amazon and a leading e-commerce platform owned and operated by one of the largest big-box stores in the US. In the Chicago metropolitan area alone, Sure Shot is now available in over 450 retail locations, including over 300 7-Eleven stores, thanks to a strategic partnership with Huckster, Inc., a leading distributor in the region. Furthermore, the Company has a pipeline of potential new retail partnerships that are expected to further expand distribution in the coming months.
- Successful Rebranding: We believe the rebranding of Sure Shot has resonated powerfully with consumers, solidifying the product's unique position as the world's first alcohol-reducing beverage that enhances mental clarity and boosts energy. Early customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the product's effectiveness and refreshing taste.
- Growing Market Demand: We believe Safety Shot is strategically positioned to capitalize on the surging demand for innovative and responsible drinking options, establishing itself as a frontrunner in this rapidly expanding market.
Safety Shot is not only focused on financial success but also committed to making a positive impact. The Company's dedication to social responsibility is exemplified by its recent college campus program, which partnered with universities to promote responsible drinking habits among students. This initiative underscores Safety Shot's commitment to ethical business practices and community well-being.
As Safety Shot charges into the new year, the Company believes it is primed for continued growth and market leadership. The Company believes its projected fourth-quarter performance, driven by the Sure Shot rebranding and strategic partnerships, showcases the Company's agility, its ability to capitalize on emerging opportunities, and its commitment to executing a multi-faceted growth strategy.
Safety Shot is committed to revolutionizing the beverage industry with innovative and responsible drinking solutions.
