Initial Public Offering

On July 21, 2021, the SEC declared effective the Company's registration statement on Form S-1 for the initial public offering ("IPO") of its Class A common stock. On July 22, 2021, the Company’s Class A common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “ZVIA”. The Company completed the IPO of 10,700,000 shares of its Class A common stock at an offering price of $14.00 per share on July 26, 2021. The Company received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $139.7 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $10.1 million.

Immediately following the closing of the IPO on July 26, 2021, Zevia LLC became the predecessor of the Company for financial reporting purposes. The Company is a holding company, and its sole material asset is its controlling equity interest in Zevia LLC. As the sole managing member of Zevia LLC, the Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Zevia LLC. This reorganization is accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control. As a result, the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company recognize the assets and liabilities received in the reorganization at their historical carrying amounts, as reflected in the historical financial statements of Zevia LLC. The Company has consolidated Zevia LLC in its financial statements and records a noncontrolling interest related to the Class B units held by the Class B stockholders on its condensed consolidated balance sheets and statement of operations. As of September 30, 2022, the Company holds an economic interest of 65.1% in Zevia LLC and the remaining 34.9% represents the non-controlling interest.
