Exhibit 99.1

 

The Alkaline Water Company Announces Strategic $1.5 Million Inventory Agreement

 

GLENDALE, ARIZONA -- February 6, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Alkaline Water Company, Inc. (OTC: WTER -- hereinafter referred to as the “Company”), a leader in the beverage industry known for its purified alkaline water, enhanced with Himalayan rock salt, today announced a strategic bulk purchase of over $1,500,000 USD of inventory with Prima Verde LLC to be fulfilled through the issuance of 94,300,000 shares of Common Stock (Restricted) subject to a 12-month lock-up period (the “Shares”).

 

The Shares issued under this agreement will be subject to a strict 12-month holding period, with no impact on the Company’s current public float or near-term trading dynamics. This structure allows the Company to preserve cash while securing essential inventory for growth, without affecting current market trading conditions.

 

Based on the Company’s internal financial projections and operational analysis, this strategic transaction is expected to have the following impact:

 

- Projected improvement in cash position of approximately $1.2 million over the first six months of operations

- Anticipated acceleration of positive monthly cash flows by approximately two months

- Expected reduction in an initial cash burn by nearly $500,000 in the first month of implementation

- Projected substantial inventory turnover within the first 60 days of operation through planned distribution partnerships

 

“This strategic inventory agreement marks a watershed moment in our company’s revitalization,” said Ricky Wright, CEO of The Alkaline Water Company. “By securing essential inventory through a share-based transaction with a 12-month restriction period, we’re dramatically improving our cash flow trajectory while maintaining market stability. This structure reduces our negative cash position by approximately $1.2 million through June and accelerates our path to positive monthly cash flow, all without impacting on our current trading float. This improved financial foundation enables us to focus on executing our growth initiatives and rebuilding our market presence.”

 

The Company plans to leverage this inventory position through forthcoming agreements with retailers, brokers, distributors, and co-packers, which will be announced over the next several weeks. These partnerships are expected to facilitate efficient distribution and sales channels for the acquired inventory.
