Stran & Company Reports 23% Increase in Six-Months Sales Year-Over-Year and
Achieves Revenue of $17.5 Million for the Second Quarter of 2023

Conference call to be held today at 10:00 AM ET

Quincy, MA / August 14, 2023 / Stran & Company, Inc. (“Stran” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SWAG) (NASDAQ: SWAGW), a leading outsourced marketing solutions provider that leverages its promotional products and loyalty incentive expertise, today provided a business update and reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Andy Shape, President and Chief Executive Officer of Stran, commented, “We continue to execute on our business growth strategies, as evidenced by an 18% year-over-year increase in revenue for the second quarter of 2023 to $17.5 million. Importantly, our organic sales increased 11% compared to the same period in the prior year. At the same time, our gross profit increased by 35% and gross profit margin improved to 29.1%. We are very proud of this organic growth and margin improvement given the current market environment and declining sales many competitors in our industry are experiencing due to pressure on marketing budgets. Rather than contracting, we are growing and capturing additional market share within the $25 billion promotional products industry. We expect this trend to continue as we further refine and expand our outreach as well as leverage established relationships from our acquisitions.”

“Each of our recent acquisitions brings strategic advantages, opening up new markets and new verticals to support our growth strategies. We are proud to have closed our acquisition of T R Miller in June, our largest acquisition to date, and progressing towards full integration of the business. Premier NYC, Trend Brand Solutions, and G.A.P. Promotions’ businesses are now all fully integrated into the Stran business operations. While our primary focus now is on organic growth, we continue to identify potential acquisitions that expand our product offering and geographic footprint given our successful track record of acquiring and integrating companies within our organization. The fact that we have expanded our national reach, secured new customers, and entered into new verticals is a testament to our leadership status within the industry. Towards this end, we were recently acknowledged by the Advertising Specialty Institute, ranking us among the Top 40 distributors in the industry.”

“While expenses have increased in the second quarter as a result of integration costs and onboarding personnel from the T R Miller acquisition, we are carefully monitoring expenses and expect to realize synergies from the integration of all of our acquisitions. Given our continued revenue growth and traction within the industry, we look forward to leveraging our fixed costs to drive margin expansion and long-term profitability. At the same time, we have maintained a solid balance sheet with approximately $25.5 million in cash and investments, allowing us to accelerate our marketing activities and pursue additional business opportunities that would complement and enhance our operations.”

Financial Results

Revenue increased 18.0% to approximately $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from approximately $14.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher spending from existing customers as well as business from new customers. Additionally, the Company benefited from the acquisitions of the assets of G.A.P. Promotions, LLC (“G.A.P. Promotions”) in January 2022, the assets of Trend Promotional Marketing Corporation (d/b/a Trend Brand Solutions) (“Trend Brand Solutions”) in August 2022, the assets of Premier Business Services (“Premier NYC”) in December 2022, and the assets of T R Miller Co., Inc. (“T R Miller”) in June 2023.

Gross profit increased 35.0% to approximately $5.1 million, or 29.1% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from approximately $3.8 million, or 25.4% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in the dollar amount of gross profit was due to increased sales, partially offset by an increase in purchasing costs.

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $0.8 million, compared to a net loss of approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This change was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses and an increase in purchasing costs. These factors were partially offset by the increase in sales during the three months ended June 30, 2023 from the acquisition of the assets of each of G.A.P. Promotions, Trend Brand Solutions, Premier NYC, and T R Miller, and the increase of recurring organic sales during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.
