SAN DIEGO, June 24, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE – Reis & Irvy’s franchisees have sold in excess of 500,000 cups of frozen yogurt generating $2.5 million in retail sales according to Generation Next. The Company passed these milestones on Wednesday, June 19. Reis & Irvy's is the Company’s flagship brand which serves Dannon YoCream frozen yogurt through an unattended, robotic kiosk.
Generation Next also reaffirmed its expectation to realize revenue of $8.0 million for its fourth quarter ending June 30, 2019 on the delivery of 200 kiosks compared to revenue of $3.0 million recognized during the prior quarter on 55 units. The Company starts its next fiscal year on July 1, 2019 with a global contract backlog valued at an estimated $140 million in revenue for just under 3,500 Reis & Irvy’s robotic vending kiosks.
“The results for the quarter are satisfactory and we are glad to hit our projections. With fiscal 2020 just around the corner, I would like to see us improve revenues significantly via a combination of increased domestic installs and more shipments made to both current and new international license partners,” said Nick Yates, CEO of Generation Next Franchise Brands.
Sales Per Kiosk, SPK, is a key metric tracked by Company management. Generation Next provided an update on these measures for its top locations by comparing the data available from the most recent four-week period to the data from March when the Company introduced this measure. The Top 25 and Top 50 groups are 16% and 20% higher respectively during the last four weeks.
| Group | May 19 - June 16 | March |
| Top 25 | 35.0 Transactions Per Day $5.67 Per Transaction | 29.6 Transactions Per Day $5.77 Per Transaction |
| Top 50 | 26.6 Transactions Per Day $5.47 Per Transaction | 23.2 Transactions Per Day $5.25 Per Transaction |
Another measure, Kiosk Uptime and Availability, KUA, was shared by Generation Next. During the last four weeks, the Company had 95 locations reporting sales 7 days per week for 4 consecutive weeks compared to 48 locations using the same 7 day per week criteria in March. It is also important to note that many locations secured by the Company only operate 5-days per week. Consistent monthly production has allowed the Company to install a Reis & Irvy’s kiosk within 60 to 90 days of securing a location which is beneficial to both securing more sites and attracting interest from the top tier locations.
“We continue to tighten the criteria used to secure locations and we are devoting more resources to support our franchise network through marketing, promotion, and operations training,” said Yates. “Our purpose is to sell more frozen yogurt and continue shifting market share from existing retailers to the Reis & Irvy’s brand.”
