Reed's, Inc. Grows International Sales 207% in 2008

Company's Number One Selling Natural Sodas Now Available in 8 Countries Worldwide

LOS ANGELES, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 23, 2009 -- Reed's, Inc. (NasdaqCM:REED), maker of the top-selling sodas in natural food stores nationwide announced that the Company grew its international sales by 207% in 2008, compared to 2007.

In 2008, Reed's Inc. launched into the Singapore marketplace, expanded their European customer base and had a significant increase in sales to Mexico.

"A number of international markets are inherently better markets for our products, particularly for our Reed's Ginger Brew line. The consumers in a number of countries use fresh ginger regularly in their cooking and are better educated as to the health benefits of ginger in the diet," commented Chris Reed, Founder and CEO of Reed's, Inc. "While international sales still represent less than 3% of sales for our products, we still see huge potential in Europe, Asia and North America."
