financial performance.

in the comparable prior-year period.

Public Company Valuations
CASTLE BRANDS
Public drinks companies trade at
5-6 times revenue and 16-20 times EBITDA.
Acquisitions are often made at even
higher revenue multiples.
In the TTM ending December 31, 2016, Castle Brands had revenue, net of federal excise taxes, of $67.2 million.
At $1.00 per share, Castle Brands TEV is 2.7 times revenue.
A large spirits company
could (1) decrease COGS, (2) increase FOBs, (3) increase sales, (4) reduce selling expenses and (5) eliminate G&A, which could significantly increase EBITDA.

Goslings Rum
CASTLE
BRANDS
Goslings Black Seal - blended in Bermuda by Goslings Brothers Ltd., founded in 1806.
In 2005, Castle Brands formed GCP, which holds the exclusive export and distribution rights for Goslings Rum for all countries other than Bermuda.
Castle has a 60% controlling interest in GCP.
Goslings Black Seal is one of the top-10 premium imported rums in the U.S.
We believe that Goslings Stormy Ginger Beer is the largest selling ginger beer in the
U.S.
MOST COCKTAILS COME WITH A NAPKIN.
THE DARK N STORMY® COMES
WITH A TRADEMARK.
A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but a Dark n Stormy by any other rum would not taste as great. In truth, it wouldnt even
be a Dark n Stormy.
This is one of very few cock-tails to earn a US Government trademark. Not to protect us, to protect the drink. Because theres a
huge difference between Black Seal Rum and any other.
Its a deep, luscious rum made from a 160-year old family recipe
using three individually aged distillates.
And dont even get us started on ginger beers! We crafted Stormy Ginger Beer to harmonize perfectly with Black Seal
into the ultimate Dark n Stormy.
The lime? We sure recommend it but its not etched in stone.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures CASTLE BRANDS
Within the information above, Castle Brands provides information regarding EBITDA, as adjusted, which is not a recognized term under GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles)
and does not purport to be an alternative to income (loss) from operations or net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, adjusted for allowances for doubtful
accounts and obsolete inventory, stock-based compensation expense, other (income) expense, net, loss from equity investment in non-consolidated affiliate, foreign exchange (gain) loss, net change in fair value of warrant liability, net income
attributable to noncontrolling interests and dividend to preferred shareholders is a key metric the Company uses in evaluating its financial performance on a consistent basis across various periods. EBITDA, as adjusted, is considered a non-GAAP
financial measure as defined by Regulation G promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Due to the significance of non-cash and non-recurring items, EBITDA, as adjusted, enables the Companys Board of Directors and
management to monitor and evaluate the business on a consistent basis. The Company uses EBITDA, as adjusted, as a primary measure, among others, to analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating
investments and allocation of capital resources. The Company believes that EBITDA, as adjusted, eliminates items that are not indicative of its core operating performance or are based on managements estimates, such as allowance accounts, are
due to changes in valuation, such as the effects of changes in foreign exchange or fair value of warrant liability, or do not involve a cash outlay, such as stock-based compensation expense. EBITDA, as adjusted, should be considered in addition to,
rather than as a substitute for, income from operations, net income and cash flows from operating activities. NYSE MKT: ROX PAGE G
