SANTA BARBARA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 5, 2024 / DRYWORLD Brands Inc. (OTC PINK:IBGR), a premium performance sports brand, today shared a corporate update highlighting its growth in 2023 and the company's outlook for 2024. Notably, the company notched 1,700% growth in Q1 2024 sales as compared to the same period in 2023.

In 2024, DRYWORLD plans to further expand existing operations by opening new sales and distribution channels for current and future partners in strategic territories. The company continues to negotiate with top athletes, sports teams and leagues worldwide and welcomes a variety of sports and individuals to its purpose-driven mission "for athletes, by athletes." In addition, DRYWORLD is focused on uplisting to the OTCQB with a new ticker symbol in 2024.

DRYWORLD remains focused on addressing shareholder issues and improving its corporate structure. This includes aligning its corporate name and ticker symbol with current operations and uplisting to the OTCQB market. DRYWORLD's legal and audit teams are working hard to advance through the required regulatory processes on both issues, and the necessary two-year financial audit is well underway.

"2024 is set to be a milestone year for DRYWORLD as we continue to stack up revenue streams by closing global deals such as PFC Beroe x Ronaldinho, and our Super Rugby partnership, aligning our company with the top athletes, teams and leagues in the world. DRYWORLD faced a number of challenges in 2023 but we believe we have largely worked through these, and our sole focus is now on elevating our brand, driving revenue, increasing the fundamentals of the company and building long-term shareholder value.

"Finally, I want to thank all of our shareholders. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to updating you on our progress throughout the year," said DRYWORLD Co-CEO, Matt Weingart.

In the past two-plus years, DRYWORLD's ecommerce business has launched 377 products and shipped to nearly 1,000 customers across six continents and 53 countries, showcasing its global appeal. Revenue in this area for January 2024 increased more than 227% compared to January 2023, due to Ambassador Program.

DRYWORLD's management team increased the authorized number of shares of common stock to 980,000,000 to accommodate capital raising efforts, and intends to continue to raise capital on an as-needed basis to minimize dilution. Noteholders from a financing in September 2021 have converted a portion of their notes into common stock, pursuant to the terms of their agreements.

The Company can confirm that Management has not sold any shares and further, that it is not permitted to sell any shares until the company is fully reporting and the shares are registered with the SEC, and even at that point, management will still be required to file all the appropriate paperwork which would become publicly available information.

Recent Operational Highlights

• DRYWORLD extended its deal with soccer legend Ronaldinho for another 10 years, leading to the signing of PFC Beroe, a Bulgarian club known as "The Greens," and locking in a contractually obligated minimum annual order of $215,000 for the youth academy and fan merchandise.
