JERSEY CITY, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / April 2, 2024 / EQUATOR Beverage Company (OTCQB:MOJO) reports its audited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023. The form 10K was filed March 22, 2024 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Highlights include:

• 2023 Revenue was $2,288,272, a $466,780 increase from $1,821,492 for the same period last year. This increase in revenue of $466,780 or 26% made this the highest annual revenue reported by the Company. The increase in revenue was due to a strong demand for all products and a significant increase in one-liter products.
• Cost of Revenue was $1,276,411 or 56% of revenue compared to $1,190,536 or 65% of revenue for 2022. This was a 9-percentage point improvement due to a decline in ocean freight costs per container. We also saw fixed costs absorbed over a higher revenue base. The 9-percentage point improvement is significant and also demonstrates our lean operating style with the outsourcing of many costs. In addition, we were able to do this despite record inflation during 2023.
• Gross Margin for 2023 was $1,011,861 or 44%, up from $630,956 for the same period last year. This was a $380,905 increase or 9-percentage point improvement from 35% for 2022.
