What's really concerning here, aside from the loopy hippie-speak, is Caporella's total failure to address why the company's sales tanked.

"I'd never heard of National Beverage Corp. or it's popular seltzer water, LaCroix, before this morning. (They also own Shasta, which of course I've heard of.) 
But I can tell you I'd never put my money into a company run by anyone who writes, talks, or thinks like CEO Nick Caporella.

I've read a lot of silly press releases, but never one quite like this from the CEO of a multimillion-dollar company:

"We are truly sorry for these results stated above. Negligence nor mismanagement nor woeful acts of God were not the reasons – much of this was the result of injustice! Managing a brand is not so different from caring for someone who becomes handicapped. Brands do not see or hear, so they are at the mercy of their owners or care providers who must preserve the dignity and special character that the brand exemplifies. It is important that LaCroix's true character is not devalued intentionally − in any way. National Beverage Corp. is and will remain the preeminent innovator that adds zest and authenticity to the 'sparkling water' phenomenon in North America," stated Nick A. Caporella, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"Additionally, gross margins were impacted by volume declines. Comparisons were further skewed by the adoption of the new tax act in the third quarter of the prior year, which included credits and rate reduction adjustments aggregating $11.3 million. Nothing herein mentioned has detracted from the ultimate value and future of our dynamic company.

There is no greater passion than the kind that creates the wonderful refreshment and contentment described as unique! No doubt, the sound and personality of the word LaCroix, coupled with the awesome experience of its essence and taste . . . is unique. One can be induced to purchase by cheapening price or giving away a product, but falling in love with a feeling of joy is the result of contentment. Just ask any LaCroix consumer . . . Would you trade away that LaLa feeling? 'No way, they shout – We just love our LaCroix!' I am positive they respond this way each and every time," Caporella concluded.

What's really concerning here, aside from the loopy hippie-speak, is Caporella's total failure to address why the company's sales tanked. 

"Injustice" isn't a reason; it's a complaint. 

What will Caporella do to bring sales back -- fight injustice?
