SRM successfully completed our initial public offering in August 2023. Since that time, we’ve been expanding beyond our core theme park business. We’ve added multi-year license agreements for SRM’s patented Sip with Me® children’s cups which feature Smurfs and Zoonicorn franchise characters, which will be sold online and at retail stores throughout the country.
2024 will see the launch of several new SRM product lines which include ICEE, Sealife and Zoo collections. A new Smurfs movie, featuring Rihanna, will be released in February 2025 and a new Orlando theme park will open in 2025. These new product launches should help build on SRM’s drive to expand our core business along with licensing partnerships for our hydration and table-top products, including our patented double drinking straw Sip with Me® tumblers and other products.
SRM has developed what we believe is a nimble and low-fixed cost production model. As a result, we can dynamically manage our business to balance current content releases and pop culture trends with timeless content based on classic movies and known brands. This has allowed us to deliver growth while lessening our dependence on individual content releases.
