Newmont Completes Sale of Triple Flag Shares

Newmont Completes Sale of Triple Flag Shares

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM, TSX: NGT) today announced it completed the sale of its common shares of Triple Flag Precious Metal Corp. (Triple Flag) on the open market for $179 million in net proceeds, after tax. The monetization of Triple Flag’s shares further streamlines and optimizes Newmont’s equity portfolio, while generating cash for the business at fair value.

Since the completion of the Goldcorp acquisition in 2019, Newmont has received more than $2 billion in cash proceeds from the sale of non-core assets as part of its strategy to maximize value for shareholders and other stakeholders. These proceeds further strengthen Newmont’s investment-grade balance sheet, enabling the Company to maintain a flexible financial position throughout the commodity price cycle with a clear focus on maintaining a world-class portfolio of long-life, responsibly managed assets located in top-tier jurisdictions.

Newmont’s equity interest in Triple Flag originated through the formation of a strategic partnership with Maverix Metals Inc. (Maverix) in 2018. Following the Goldcorp acquisition, Newmont sold additional royalties to Maverix in 2020, which resulted in Newmont owning 42.0 million common shares of Maverix and 5.0 million purchase warrants. In January 2023, Triple Flag completed the acquisition of Maverix, and Newmont received 15.1 million common shares and 1.8 million purchase warrants of the combined company. Prior to the completion of the sale, Newmont held approximately 7.5 percent of the issued and outstanding common shares of Triple Flag for investment purposes.

Fourth

Q

uarter 2022 Financial Results

Total Revenues reached RMB2,131.0 million (US$308.91 million), in line with our guidance, increased steadily by 8.2% quarter-over-quarter, but a decrease of 19.9% from RMB2,659.7 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease was mainly due to our proactive scaling down of CDN services, with its gross billings decreased by 20.7% on year-over-year basis, and more stringent project selection of enterprise cloud projects.

  • Revenues from public cloud services slightly increased from RMB1,346.0 million in last quarter, but decreased by 12.2% to RMB1,344.3 million (US$194.9 million), compared with RMB1,530.5 million in the same quarter of 2021.

Non-GAAP gross margin2 was 7.9%, compared with 1.2% in the same period in 2021. The significant improvement of our gross profit and margin was mainly due to our strategic adjustment of revenue mix, optimized enterprise cloud project selection and efficient cost control measures.

General and administrative expenses were RMB442.8 million (US$64.2 million), compared with RMB235.1 million last quarter and RMB243.3 million in the same period in 2021. The increase was mainly due to non-recurring Hong Kong listing expenses of RMB94.9 million and loss on disposal of property and equipment of RMB28.8 million.

Research and development expenses were RMB255.5 million (US$37.0 million), further decreased from RMB248.1 million last quarter and RMB278.2 million in the same period in 2021.

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were RMB4,672.8 million (US$677.5 million) as of December 31, 2022, representing strong and sustainable cash reserve. The decrease quarter-over-quarter was mainly due to our repayment of around RMB500 million loan from Kingsoft Group.

Net cash generated from operating activities amounted to RMB370.4 million, indicating the third consecutive quarter in which we recorded positive operating cash flow. Free cash flow, as measured by net cash generated from operating activities of RMB370.4 million minus capital expenditure of RMB110.8 million, was RMB259.6 million, marking the first quarter of positive free cash flow.


Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Results

Total Revenues reached RMB8,180.1 million (US$1,186.0 million), representing a decrease of 9.7% from RMB9,060.8 million in 2021. The decrease was due to proactive scale-down of delivery services within public cloud services, and more stringent project selection of enterprise cloud services.

Among which: IDC costs decreased by 16.2% to RMB4,275.3 million (US$619.9 million) in 2022 from RMB5,101.5 million in 2021. The decrease was in line with our adjustment of public cloud services. Depreciation and amortization costs were RMB990.7 million (US$143.6 million) in 2022, compared with RMB785.2 million in 2021, mainly as a result of capital expenditures in electronic equipment. Fulfillment costs were RMB396.8 million (US$57.5 million), representing a decrease of 78.6% from RMB1,851.3 million in 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease of revenues from Kingsoft Cloud enterprise cloud services that was due to COVID-19 negative impacts, and the decrease of fulfillment costs as percentages of total enterprise cloud services revenue due to our strategic focus on selected high quality projects. Solution development and services costs were RMB1,873.9 million (US$271.7 million) in 2022, compared with RMB678.2 million in 2021. The increase was mainly due to our full-year consolidation of Camelot in 2022. Other costs were RMB213.9 million (US$31.0 million) in 2022, compared with RMB293.3 million in 2021.

Gross profit increased to RMB429.5 million (US$62.3 million) in 2022, from RMB351.3 million in 2021. Gross margin increased to 5.3%, from 3.9% in 2021. Non-GAAP gross profit increased to RMB445.2 million (US$64.5 million) in 2022, from RMB368.8 million in 2021. Non-GAAP gross margin increased to 5.4% in 2022 from 4.1% in 2021. Such increases were primarily because of the optimization of revenue mix and our effective cost controls.

Selling and marketing expenses were RMB560.1 million (US$81.2 million), compared with RMB518.2 million in 2021. The increase was mainly due to the amortization expenses related to Camelot’s acquisition.

General and administrative expenses were RMB1,149.7 million (US$166.7 million), compared with RMB601.7 million in 2021. The increase was mainly due to the non-recurring Hong Kong listing expenses and loss on disposal of property and equipment, as well as Camelot share awards expenses, workforce optimization related compensations and credit loss.

Research and development expenses were RMB971.2 million (US$140.8 million), compared with RMB1,043.8 million in 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the workforce optimization.

Operating loss was RMB2,251.4 million (US$326.4 million), compared with RMB1,812.4 million in 2021.

Net loss was RMB2,688.4 million (US$389.8 million), compared with net loss of RMB1,591.8 million in 2021. The increase was due to the increase of workforce optimization related compensations, credit loss, Hong Kong listing expenses, Camelot share awards expenses, while offset by the improvement of gross profits and changes of foreign exchange rates.

Non-GAAP net loss was RMB1,993.9 million (US$289.1 million), compared with net loss of RMB1,195.2 million in 2021.

Non-GAAP EBITDA was RMB-755.0 million (US$-109.5 million), compared with RMB-343.8 million in 2021. Non-GAAP EBITDA margin was -9.2%, compared with -3.8% in 2021.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information is prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). In evaluating our business, we consider and use certain non-GAAP measures, Non-GAAP gross profit, Non-GAAP gross margin, Non-GAAP EBITDA, Non-GAAP EBITDA margin, Non-GAAP net loss and Non-GAAP net loss margin, as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define Non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit excluding share-based compensation allocated in the cost of revenues, and we define Non-GAAP gross margin as Non-GAAP gross profit as a percentage of revenues. We define Non-GAAP net loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation and foreign exchange (gain) loss, and we define Non-GAAP net loss margin as adjusted net loss as a percentage of revenues. We define Non-GAAP EBITDA as Non-GAAP net loss excluding interest income, interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization, and we define Non-GAAP EBITDA margin as Non-GAAP EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by our management to evaluate our operating performance and formulate business plans. We also believe that the use of these non-GAAP measures facilitates investors’ assessment of our operating performance.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. One of the key limitations of using these non-GAAP financial measures is that they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect our operations. Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited.

We compensate for these limitations by reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

This offer represents a premium of 37% to the closing trading price as of March 3rd, 2023, a 40% premium to the Company’s 30-day VWAP, 51% premium to the 60-day VWAP and a 47% premium to the 90-day VWAP as of March 3rd, 2023. Nano Dimension has been the largest shareholder of Stratasys since July 2022 and currently owns approximately 14.5% of Stratasys’ outstanding shares (13.7% on a fully diluted basis).

“Our increased, all-cash offer demonstrates our commitment to consummating this strategic combination, which will deliver immediate and certain value to Stratasys shareholders at a compelling premium and enable us to create the preeminent leader in the rapidly growing AM market,” said Yoav Stern, Nano Dimension’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We are prepared to move quickly to complete our due diligence and engage with Stratasys to finalize a mutually agreeable transaction.”

Mr. Stern continued, “Nano Dimension believes in the quality of Stratasys management and its line-leaders, and we are therefore extending this Improved Proposal. We again invite the Stratasys’ board of directors (“Stratasys’ Board”) to engage in an open and constructive dialogue with us around a combination of our businesses. We also urge the Stratasys Board to take immediate steps to remove the company’s ‘poison pill’ and allow shareholders to voice their opinion on the proposed transaction and we are committed to giving Stratasys shareholders the power to decide on the merits of our compelling offer.”

Significantly Improved Value and Compelling Strategic Rationale

Nano Dimension’s Improved Proposal represents a significant increase in value of $1.55 per share, or 9%, as compared to its March 6th, 2023, proposal and offers compelling and certain value to Stratasys shareholders at a time of ongoing market volatility.

Among other growth and value creation opportunities, the transaction would:



  • Position the Combined Company to Realize Market Consolidation Opportunity:


The combined company would be ideally positioned as a consolidator in the highly fragmented market landscape of small- and medium-sized businesses with numerous attractive potential targets.



  • Establish a Market-Leading Portfolio of Complementary Products and Solutions Addressing a Significant Market Opportunity:

Combination of Stratasys’ polymer-based 3D printing systems & PolyJet AM machines and Nano Dimension’s ceramic, and metals AM & AME capabilities provides a full suite of products to the additive manufacturing segment that is expected to grow from a market size of ~$16bn in 2021 to ~$105bn by 2030.



  • Capitalize on Opportunity to Realize Operational and Organizational Synergies:

The combined sales platform will accelerate revenue growth through cross-selling Nano Dimension’s products into Stratasys’ distribution network and eliminating duplicative corporate costs. In addition, combined R&D capabilities will drive accelerated innovation.



  • Enhance Market Penetration and New Customer Acquisition:

Increased opportunity to deepen existing relationships across shared customers and industries by providing more value-added services and solutions, while also presenting new customer acquisition opportunities with an expanded and diversified platform.

https://event.choruscall.com/mediaframe/webcast.html?webcastid=BQi6o38R

Q4 and Full Year 2022 Highlights

  • On October 31, 2022, Redwire completed the acquisition of QinetiQ Space NV (“Space NV”). Space NV has significantly expanded our global footprint and scope of business, especially with the European Space Agency.
  • Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2022 (including Space NV) increased 30.7% to $53.7 million, as compared to $41.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Revenues also grew sequentially by 44.2%, as compared to the third quarter of 2022.
  • Revenues for the full year 2022 (including Space NV) increased 16.7% to $160.5 million, as compared to $137.6 million for the full year 2021.
  • Net loss and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA1 for the full year 2022 (including the incremental Adjusted EBITDA that Space NV would have contributed if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022) were $(130.6) million and $(7.0) million, respectively, as compared to net loss and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA1 of $(61.5) million and $3.2 million, respectively, for the full year 2021. Net loss for the full year 2022 includes a $96.6 million non-cash impairment expense, while no such expense occurred in 2021.
  • Since acquisition, Space NV contributed $11.7 million and $0.6 million to full year 2022 revenues and Adjusted EBITDA1.
  • Excluding Space NV from revenues and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA1 (as if the acquisition had not occurred), Redwire would have achieved full year 2022 revenues and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA1 of $148.9 million and $(11.6) million, respectively, which are results within its revised full year 2022 guidance range for revenues of $140.0 million to $155.0 million and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA1 of $(13.0) million to $(6.0) million (which guidance did not account for Space NV).
  • Total Backlog2 (including Space NV) grew 71.2% year-over-year to $465.1 million as of December 31, 2022, as compared to $271.6 million as of December 31, 2021. In 2022, contracts awarded were $327.0 million.
  • For the full year ended December 31, 2023, Redwire expects revenue to be in a range of $220.0 million to $250.0 million.

1 Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of results under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. See “Non-GAAP Financial Information” and the reconciliation tables included in this press release for details regarding the calculation of Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.

2 Total Backlog is a key business measure. Please refer to “Key Performance Indicators” and the tables included in this press release for additional information.

“In the fourth quarter of 2022, Redwire experienced record revenue and a record quarter for new bookings,” stated Peter Cannito, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Redwire. “We are continuing to build a resilient space platform that includes a diversified portfolio of dependable, long-term government contracts and marquee commercial customers. Our proven space heritage and 2022 technical performance is leading to exciting opportunities with new and existing customers, positioning us with strong momentum entering 2023 supported by a record Total Backlog4 of $465.1 million.

Additional Financial Highlights:

  • Net loss and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA3 (including the incremental Adjusted EBITDA that Space NV would have contributed if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022) for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $(25.9) million and $(0.5) million, respectively, as compared to net loss and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA3 of $(13.7) million and $(0.2) million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2021.
  • Book-to-Bill4 ratio for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 was 3.74 and 2.04, respectively, as compared to 1.45 and 1.13 for the fourth quarter and full year 2021, respectively.
  • Net cash used in operating activities for the fourth quarter of 2022 improved 57.1% to $(4.8) million, as compared to $(11.2) million for the third quarter of 2022. Free Cash Flow5 for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $(5.5) million, as compared to $(12.6) million for the third quarter of 2022.
  • As previously announced, Redwire completed an $81.25 million capital raise to finance the acquisition of Space NV and support our growth initiatives. Total available liquidity was $53.3 million as of December 31, 2022.

“Our financial performance showed improvement on both a sequential and year-over-year basis. We recognized record revenues while delivering improvement in gross profit, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA3 and Free Cash Flow5,” said Jonathan Baliff, Chief Financial Officer of Redwire. “Given our record Total Backlog4 and improved total available liquidity, we enter 2023 with great momentum.”

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Readers are cautioned that the statements contained in this press release regarding expectations of our performance or other matters that may affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition are “forward looking statements” as defined by the “safe harbor” provisions in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are made in reliance on the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included or incorporated in this press release, including statements regarding our strategy, financial position, guidance, funding for continued operations, cash reserves, liquidity, projected costs, plans, projects, awards and contracts, and objectives of management, are forward looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “should,” “believe,” “hope,” “target,” “continued,” “project,” “plan,” “goals,” “opportunity,” “appeal,” “estimate,” “potential,” “predict,” “may,” “will,” “might,” “could,” “intend,” “shall,” “possible,” “would,” “approximately,” “likely,” “schedule,” and variations of these terms or the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward looking. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results. Forward looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond our control.

These factors and circumstances include, but are not limited to: (1) risks associated with the continued economic uncertainty, including high inflation, supply chain challenges, labor shortages, high interest rates, foreign currency exchange volatility, concerns of economic slowdown or recession and reduced spending or suspension of investment in new or enhanced projects; (2) the failure of financial institutions or transactional counterparties; (3) the company’s limited operating history; (4) the inability to successfully integrate recently completed and future acquisitions; (5) the development and continued refinement of many of the Company’s proprietary technologies, products and service offerings; (6) competition with new or existing companies; (7) the possibility that the company’s assumptions relating to future results may prove incorrect; (8) adverse publicity stemming from any incident involving Redwire or our competitors; (9) unsatisfactory performance of our products; (10) the emerging nature of the market for in-space infrastructure services; (11) inability to realize benefits from new offerings or the application of our technologies; (12) the inability to convert orders in backlog into revenue; (13) our dependence on U.S. government contracts, which are only partially funded and subject to immediate termination; (14) the fact that we are subject to stringent U.S. economic sanctions, and trade control laws and regulations; (15) the need for substantial additional funding to finance our operations, which may not be available when we need it, on acceptable terms or at all; (16) the fact that the issuance and sale of shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has reduced the relative voting power of holders of our common stock and diluted the ownership of holders of our capital stock; (17) AE Industrial Partners and Bain Capital have significant influence over us, which could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions; (18) provisions in our Certificate of Designation with respect to our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may delay or prevent our acquisition by a third party, which could also reduce the market price of our capital stock; (19) our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has rights, preferences and privileges that are not held by, and are preferential to, the rights of holders of our other outstanding capital stock; (20) there may be sales of a substantial amount of our common stock by our current stockholders, and these sales could cause the price of our common stock to fall; (21) the impact of the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on the price and market for our common stock; (22) the trading price of our common stock and warrants is and may continue to be volatile; (23) risk related to short sellers of our common stock; (24) our management team’s limited experience operating a public company; (25) inability to report our financial condition or results of operations accurately or timely as a result of identified material weaknesses and (26) other risks and uncertainties described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and those indicated from time to time in other documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by the Company.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. If underlying assumptions to forward looking statements prove inaccurate, or if known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date of this press release, and the Company disclaims any intention or obligation, other than imposed by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Persons reading this press release are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains financial measures that have not been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow.

We use Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. We use Free Cash Flow as a useful indicator of liquidity to evaluate our period-over-period operating cash generation that will be used to service our debt, and can be used to invest in future growth through new business development activities and/or acquisitions, among other uses. Free Cash Flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance, and it should not be inferred that the entire amount of Free Cash Flow is available for discretionary expenditures, since we have mandatory debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from this measure. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company revised the definition and calculation of Free Cash Flow that was presented in the second quarter of 2022 in accordance with the SEC’s Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation. Going forward, the Company will use the definition and calculation of Free Cash Flow presented herein.

These Non-GAAP financial measures are used to supplement the financial information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the relevant U.S. GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for interest expense (income), net, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment expense, acquisition deal costs, acquisition integration costs, acquisition earnout costs, purchase accounting fair value adjustment related to deferred revenue, severance costs, capital market and advisory fees, litigation-related expenses, write-off of long-lived assets, equity-based compensation, committed equity facility transaction costs, debt financing costs, and warrant liability fair value adjustments. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted for the incremental Adjusted EBITDA that acquired businesses would have contributed for the periods presented if such acquisitions had occurred on January 1 of the year in which they occurred. Accordingly, historical financial information for the businesses acquired includes pro forma adjustments calculated in a manner consistent with the concepts of Article 8 of Regulation S-X, which are ultimately added back in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. As an emerging growth company that has completed a significant number of acquisitions in 2021 and 2022, we believe Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful insights into the impact of strategic acquisitions as well as an indicative run rate of the Company’s future operating performance. Free Cash Flow is computed as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures.

Book-to-bill is the ratio of total contract awarded to revenues recorded in the same period. The contracts awarded balance includes firm contract orders including time and material contracts which were awarded during the period and does not include unexercised contract options or potential orders under indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts. Although the contracts awarded balance reflects firm contract orders, terminations, amendments, or contract cancellations may occur which could result in a reduction to the contracts awarded balance.

We view book-to-bill as an indicator of future revenue growth potential. To drive future revenue growth, our goal is for the level of contract awarded in a given period to exceed the revenue recorded, thus yielding a book-to-bill ratio greater than 1.0.

Backlog

Our total backlog, which includes both contracted and uncontracted backlog, was as follows for the periods presented:

We view growth in backlog as a key measure of our business growth. Contracted backlog represents the estimated dollar value of firm funded executed contracts for which work has not been performed (also known as the remaining performance obligations on a contract). Our contracted backlog includes $37.4 million and $10.7 million in remaining contract value from time and materials contracts as of December 31, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021, respectively.

Organic contracted backlog change excludes backlog activity from acquisitions for the first four full quarters since the entities’ acquisition date. Contracted backlog activity for the first four full quarters since the entities’ acquisition date is included in acquisition-related contracted backlog change. After the completion of four fiscal quarters, acquired entities are treated as organic for current and comparable historical periods.

Organic contract value includes the remaining contract value as of January 1 not yet recognized as revenue and additional orders awarded during the period for those entities treated as organic. Acquisition-related contract value includes remaining contract value as of the acquisition date not yet recognized as revenue and additional orders awarded during the period for entities not treated as organic. The acquisition-related contract backlog activity presented in the table above includes only the contracted backlog of Space NV. Similarly, organic revenue includes revenue earned during the period presented for those entities treated as organic, while acquisition-related revenue includes the same for all other entities, excluding any pre-acquisition revenue earned during the period.

Uncontracted backlog represents the anticipated contract value, or portion thereof, of goods and services to be delivered under existing contracts which have not been appropriated or otherwise authorized. Uncontracted backlog includes $37.4 million and $67.8 million of contract extensions under negotiation that were priced, fully scoped, verbally awarded, and expected to be executed shortly as of December 31, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021, respectively.

The World’s Highest Distillery Launches First Ever National Après Day in the U.S. and Celebrates #AprèsAnywhere Campaign

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo., March 29, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Breckenridge Distillery, the world’s highest craft distillery and one of the most awarded bourbon brands, announces the launch of National Après Day, a new holiday in the U.S., celebrated on March 31st to honor the joy of après ski culture.

Inspired by international après ski culture and celebrated among ski enthusiasts as enjoying time with friends after a day on the slopes, Breckenridge Distillery opens the conversation to share après moments with its new #AprèsAnywhere campaign on National Après Day. The inaugural holiday and campaign invites people around the world to raise a glass to anything they accomplish – whether skiing or not, and with any spirit of their choice, starting with inspiration from the distillery’s portfolio of award-winning products made with Rocky Mountain water from its hometown, and highlighting its beloved Breckenridge Bourbon.

“Bourbon brings people together, and that’s why we love what we do at Breckenridge Distillery,” said Jessie Unruh, director of marketing at Breckenridge Distillery. “This campaign is the epitome of what we’re all about. We love celebrating the rad things our fans do, from the backcountry to the big city, and we hope this spreads the après ski spirit across the country for more memorable moments with Breckenridge bourbon.”

As part of the campaign launch, consumers can enter to win the ultimate #AprèsAnywhere swag bag from Breckenridge Distillery by sharing how and where they après, by posting a photo to Instagram using the #AprèsAnywhere hashtag in the caption. Breckenridge Distillery will pick one lucky winner each month, between March 31, 2023 and August 31, 2023. Winners will be contacted via Instagram direct message from @breckdistillery.
