Just settled a $5 million+ lawsuit plus royalty deal... this is primed up and ready in my opinion.

[fung_derf]

This is really weird. The stock price went from .062 to .28 without anyone here pumping it? Was that just the pre-pump? Not even Kevin is around to send me love notes.
Volume is up, forming a bit of a base, if I were a penny stock buyer I'd have to be all over this.
What am I missing? Too early?

[Floppyplants]

It's coming... all in my opinion.

[fung_derf]

Kevin....buddy!....how in the world is this stock still in existence and actually going up in value??
I wonder why all the minions left here? Not paying anyone?

[fung_derf]

I'd give a big hearty hello in amazement that this company still exists, but it seems no one is here any longer.
Hey Kevin....you don't write, you don't call any more. I feel like your Bubbie.

[fung_derf]

The share price is moving based on lawsuits now?? Research how that has worked out on other penny stocks.

why no gab here, any body no anything about the last few days

[Xilo]

They won their third patent infringement case. Should make it interesting today.

[Floppyplants]

This company doesn't PR much, they don't make much chatter, they just go about their business, and maintain their profits and upward mobility. It's a different breed compared to the rest of the OTC, imo. I think they are going to win all their lawsuits to the tune of some nice cash on their bottom line. This one moves quickly when it does. Weekly chart is churning nicely now. We all know this will move big one day, and all the chatter will follow :) .

The latest court filings are public record, you can look them up. It's hard to say how long each case will take.... patience!

[barmarty]

why no chatter here? maybe because we know where this could go overnight, when is the next lawsuit finalized, july?

Revenues

Gross margins decreased to 33% in 2021 compared to 43% in 2020 due to an increase in wholesale and private label sales in 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 offset by increases in both raw materials and shipping costs as compared to the same period in 2020.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $489,061 as compared to $393,196 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in expenses is primarily due to increased sales activity in 2021.

Other ExpenseInterest expense decreased to $96,366 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $140,908 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 due to less interest expense recognized on related party loans in 2021.

Look at the history of this company. A long history of minimal news, minimal advertising, and also, minimal dilution and toxic financing. Also check the history for big moves out of nowhere. The company is profitable.... which can't be said for most OTC companies.

Just be patient for news or updates on the lawsuits, imo.... this one moves quick when it does.

[Floppyplants]

What a nice chart... seems like a reversal is coming here.

[Potfolio]

The company communication and lack of insider buying.

Full disclosure I own millions of shares but don’t park money here if you’re not patient.

The company is tremendously undervalued but they have little focus on telling their story. They will someday and maybe by then the price won’t be single digits.

I am concerned that there has been NO insider buying from anyone. The share price is 3 cents and a 2.5M valuation. You’d think that would be low enough for them to mortgage the home if they believed in the long term company valuation. Kevin does own 20M shares (25 percent) which is more then 99 percent of pink sheets but he has bought in the past when it got this low…. Just a yellow flag of caution to consider

2020 Analysis + 2021-2022 Financial Projections

After reviewing the annual report I thought I'd share my perspective - which of course includes the bias that I own shares but believe the last 5 months we have turned the corner and are heading to dollar land in the next 12-24 months.

2020 Q4 Recap

1. Revenue was $1.2M, up 27% vs PY Q4.
2. Gross Margin was 51% in Q4! This was up from 38% in Q2, and 43% in Q3. Note in 2018 and 2019 it was 42% and 33%, respectfully. If we can maintain near 50% GM % going forward that is a complete game changer. This is driven from pricing, likely lowering our input cost and of course new product introductions at higher price points.
3. S&A cost as a % of sales were 40%, this is DOWN from 46% in 2019. The last 2 quarters of 2020 they were 40% of sales - and as they moved through the new COVID world it seems they got lean and mean. Going forward as they continue to leverage their existing supply chain - they should leverage nicely and continue to keep that 40% or lower.
4. OI (before interest and taxes) was $129K. This was the 3rd straight quarter of operating profit - up to 11%.

Overall IMO - Q4 was the best financial performance by the company since I started following it back in 2018.

2021-2022 Forecast

Here is my opinion.

1. Assuming they can continue to grow in the 25% range on their CORE business (excluding Dissm and lawsuit infringements) the revenue would be $5.6M in 2021 and $7M in 2022. This seems really fair as a base case.

2. If GM% can stay in the 50%, and they can continue to leverage their fixed cost structure driving S&A cost down to 35-37% range then they will have $1.1M of income in 2022.


3.The 2 wild cards are DISSIM and Patent infringements. IMO based on the DISSIM reach in such a short period of time that $1.5 and $3.5M in sales for 2021 and 2022 is VERY reasonable. Look at Amazon, youTube, etc. They are selling this product internationally at will. The first batch of DISSIM lighters had some minor flaws which drove the stars down on customer reviews - but over the past 2-3 months the stars have been steadily rising (it now has 4.3 stars on amazon over past 3 months and up to 4.0 overall - this is after the slow start). The DISSIM lighter should be able to leverage nicely with minimal S&A cost adds - but let's assume $250K of cost adds by 2022 on the $3.5M of revenue. This scenario adds $1.5M of income in 2022 just from Dissim alone. Again, IMO this is the wild card and could easily blow up into 5-10x this.


4. If you take the $1.5M dissim in the conservative case above + the $1.1M from the core business - VPRB could so $2.6M in OI by 2022. With a 35 PE that puts valuation at $1.00

5. Clearly these are projections but they do not feel to pie in the sky. They EXCLUDE ANY BENEFIT FROM THE INFRINGEMENT LAWSUIT WHICH COULD BE MILLIONS IMO. Also, we all know 99% of penny stocks have HIGHER valuations on FAR FAR LESS. There is always the scenario where this starts to get more investor awareness and it trades $1, $2, $3 just because... Don't forget the CEO here took KRAVE brand public...and the COO Dan Hoff is as passionate and an industry guru. They both own millions of shares and take normal salaries from the business - so when we win they win.

Good luck to anyone investing here - clearly anything under $.20 IMO has SIGNIFICANT RISK/REWARD OPPORTUNITY.

Can someone sticky this report on here?

[Potfolio]

Not sure everyone saw the NT (late notice filing) but they did attach FY results that would indicate a very strong Q4 of revenue growth in the 15-20% range and break-even net income (compared to Q4 loss of $500K last year). Revenue of approximately $1.2M is also solid - all before dissim.

VPR Brands has Filed Multiple New Lawsuits to Enforce its Intellectual Property Rights



Fort Lauderdale, FL -- March 4, 2021 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- VPR Brands, LP (OTC: VPRB): VPR Brands is a market leader and pioneer in electronic cigarettes and vaporizers for nicotine, cannabis and cannabidiol (CBD). The company owns Intellectual Property which is one of the original Patents filed for electronic cigarette technology. This Patent dates back to 2009 and includes independent claims covering electronic cigarette products containing an electric airflow sensor, including a sensor comprised of a diaphragm microphone. The sensor turns the battery on and off, and covers auto-draw, button less e-cigarettes, cigalikes, pod devices and vaporizers using an airflow sensor. The technology is covered under electronic cigarette utility patent US 8205622.



“Just this week we have filed Three additional lawsuits which brings the total to Six with many more expected and likely as almost every company in the vape space has at least one product which uses the Patented “auto draw” technology.” said Kevin Frija, CEO of VPR Brands. “We will be aggressively pursuing every company infringing on our patent no matter how small or how large they maybe.”



VPR Brands along with SRIPLAW has started to identify and notify over 50 of the leading companies. These companies were prioritized, based on sales volume and popularity.. Most recently VPR Brands LP and its legal team, headed by Joel B Rothman of SRIPLAW, have filed litigation against Three more of the companies.
