Brent Willis, Chief Executive Officer of New Age Beverages commented, "The first quarter of 2017 continued at the pace we established in 2016. Just one of the accomplishments in Q1 was the uplist onto the NASDAQ -- but on top of that we are operationally executing, growing organically, integrating new companies, and developing new products leveraging our R&D expertise. The impact of these will begin to be seen in Q2 as the new companies and brands are integrated and fully consolidated in our financial results."
