Over $42 MILLION In 2022 revenue
LAS VEGAS and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TAAT(TM) GLOBAL ALTERNATIVES INC. (TAAT: CSE) (TOBAF: OTCQX) (FRANKFURT: 2TP) (the "Company" or "TAAT(TM)") is pleased to provide a detailed overview of its financial outlook, strategic priorities, and organizational alignment for the remainder of calendar 2022 as well as the calendar year of 2023, in addition to formal guidance with respect to its forecasted revenue and sales. The Company recently built upon the 2,700-store U.S. footprint of its flagship product TAAT(TM) through the acquisition of an Ohio-based tobacco and convenience distributor with access to over 5,000 Ohio retailers in addition to three owned storefronts. Furthermore, with a robust sales pipeline curated over 60 years of operation, the distributor's cash flow is expected to fortify the Company's overall revenues long-term. The Company also continues to realize numerous benefits from the Version III ("V3") formulation of the Beyond Tobacco(TM) formulation of TAAT(TM), including greater satisfaction of adult smokers as well as manufacturing-related efficiencies with respect to cost and production velocity.

TAAT(TM) Formal Guidance for Revenue and Sales
TAAT(TM) Founder Joe Deighan commented, "In the approximately 18 months since TAAT(TM) was first launched in the United States, we have established a solid foundation through strong execution of our priorities as well as continued attention to research and development. The advanced formulation of Beyond Tobacco(TM) known as V3 has proven exceptionally popular among adult smokers, and we have proactively taken steps to replace inventory of TAAT(TM) made with previous iterations, thus ensuring that V3 is as widely available as possible. Our acquisition of ADCO provides us more than just distribution bandwidth, which is to say that we can obtain priceless feedback and various types of insights (whether qualitative or quantitative) to continuously evaluate the performance of a given product on the market, and shape our business decisions accordingly to drive sell-through and long-term brand equity. Perhaps most exciting, we are branching out into segments that complement our core offerings, such as TAAT(TM) heat-not-burn as well as a zero-hemp formulation of Beyond Tobacco(TM) that can enable us to commercialize TAAT(TM) more broadly at a global level. We anticipate great outcomes in the rest of 2022 and throughout 2023, and are keen to continue with actively commercializing TAAT(TM) as a better alternative to legacy tobacco products."
