44% Year over Year Revenue Growth Without New Facility

The Company’s $5.5 million growth in revenues over the prior year is attributed to the steady increase in AMA’s number of cannabis plants and total annual plant yield as well as to Infused’s significant product distribution expansion in the United States. Infused’s Canna Hemp™ brand of CBD health and wellness products are sold in over 800 retail outlets across 46 states, and via the Company’s E-Commerce site.

16% Gross Margin Decrease Until New Facility Ramps up Cultivation

The Company saw a decrease in gross margin from $6.4 million to $5.3 million primarily due to increased purchases by AMA of third-party biomass to produce concentrates and final products. The Company anticipates producing sufficient amounts of biomass from its new facility thereby reducing third party purchases, which is expected to significantly improve the realized gross margins. Partially offsetting the increased costs of AMA, Infused has significantly increased its customer base, which has resulted in improved economies of scale in the production of CBD-based products, positively impacting overall gross margin.

$37.7 Million Cash Injection by Financing Activities and Strong Cash Position

  • The sale of property and equipment increased cash by $13 million
  • The issuance of convertible debenture units increased cash by $15.5 million
  • Common shares issued pursuant to a private placement increased cash by $4.5 million
  • Common shares issued pursuant to exercises of stock options increased cash by $0.7 million
  • Common shares issued pursuant to exercises of warrants and agent options increased cash by $3.9 million
  • Cash on hand at Year End is $17.6 million

Cost-Cutting Measures in Place to Mitigate Loss

The Company’s net loss for the year is $19.1 million, attributed to a one-time non-cash impairment loss of Spire Global Strategy and one-time non-cash loss on disposal of property and equipment as well as increases in general and administrative costs as the Company continued to scale up its operations and added staffing and resources to support the Company’s growth initiatives. The Company continues to incur costs to support its growing infrastructure requirements.

Significant expenditures during the period include property and equipment expenses related to AMA’s 67,750 square foot cultivation facility and 12,160 square foot production facility in Nevada and the purchase of the remaining 9% of Infused for $5.4 million, of which $1.2 million was cash via a promissory note paid during Q4.

The Company saw an overall increase in expenses as it continues to grow in size and scale.  The realignment of core business units such as cultivation, extraction and manufacturing assets and cost-cutting measures in place along all divisions have been a focus in order to lower expenses.

Commentary by Mr. Chris Rebentisch, Chief Executive Officer

“Our second year of operations was met by a surge in market volatility, challenging capital markets and a changing regulatory environment. Although not immune to sector-wide stock pressures and volatility, the Company remains positioned with growth and profitability in mind and we continue on target on this path. We are razor-focused on continuing to ensure the long-term viability of the Company. We have implemented cost cutting measures aimed at reducing our current operating expenses, improving efficiencies and strengthening our product offerings while building a sustainable foundation.

Exceeding expectations, we increased revenues by 44% from our previous year while awaiting our new cultivation facility to become operational. We oversaw a 130% growth in revenues for our CBD brand portfolio, as well as a 245% increase of cash to execute on our growth plan. By the end of this fiscal year, we had completed the construction of one of Nevada’s largest indoor cultivation facilities for premium craft cannabis and had begun to transfer our cannabis plants to the new facility.

Subsequent to the Year End, we entered the California market with a management agreement for cultivation and manufacturing in the state and continue to make progress on our infrastructure projects in Nevada, while targeting promising markets in Arizona and Colorado. Our proprietary Canna Hemp™ brands are emerging as significant players in the industry and continue to grow across the nation. We have also attracted some of the best brands in the industry as licensing partners as we continue to increase market share in Nevada as one of the largest wholesalers of cannabis products to legal dispensaries.

We forecast strong revenue growth in 2020 as we expand our proprietary portfolio of AMA branded THC flower and concentrates, continue innovating our unique, differentiated, quality-based CBD Canna Hemp™ portfolio and as our recently added licensing partnerships bear fruit. We anticipate significant margin improvements as we complete the build-out of new cultivation and production facilities in Nevada and become less reliant on wholesale biomass suppliers. With our focused vision on delivering the highest quality consumer branded goods, we have a disciplined growth path to scale up operations in 2020 and beyond.”

Management Commentary 

“With the April 1st cannabis legalization in Germany, we are augmenting our focus and resources on the German market, where we expect to see the biggest growth potential, and the best return on investment. While it is still too early to make any predictions, our sales in Germany almost doubled during the month of April,” said Oren Shuster, Chief Executive Officer of IMC. “Looking back on the first month post legalization in Germany, I see that we have the infrastructure and the supply agreements in place to continue delivering the accelerated growth we have already seen in April. We will also ensure that we have the necessary resources in place for success.”   

“In 2023 we completely restructured, becoming a very lean and agile company, leaning into active cost management. This process is reflected in the numbers, our G&A decreased 27% vs Q1 2023” said Uri Birenberg, Chief Financial Officer of IMC. “While our results have recovered from the impact of the Israel-Hamas war, our revenue was still effected by both an unfavorable exchange rate, as well as price reductions to sell off inventory.”

Q1 2024 Conference Call 

The Company will host a Zoom web conference call today at 9:00 a.m. ET to discuss the results, followed by a question-and-answer session for the investment community. Investors are invited to register by clicking here. All relevant information will be sent upon registration.

Q1 2024 Financial Results

  • Revenues for the first quarter of 2024 were $12.1 million compared to $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 3%. The decrease is mainly due an exchange rate effect of about $0.2 million and decrease in avg. price per sale due to increased competition.

 

  • Gross profit for the first quarter of 2024 was $1.8 million, compared to $2.9 million in Q1 2024, a decrease of 39%. The downside is attributed mainly to the slow-moving stock that was moved out at a lower price and an exchange rate difference totaling $0.4 million and $0.64 million cost of sales loss due to an inventory erase of the slow-moving stock. Company fair value adjustment was $0 and $0.4 million for the Q1 2024 and Q1 2023 respectively.

 

  • Total Dried Flower sold in Q1 2024 was approximately 1,873 kg with an average selling price of $5.68 per gram, compared to approximately 1,842kg in Q1 2023, with an average selling price of $6.59 per gram. This difference is mainly due to increased competition within the retail segment, and mid-range stock discounts to move out slow moving stock.

 

  • Total operating expenses in Q1 2024 were $7.4 million compared to $6.5 million in Q1 2023. The increase is due to the other operating expenses related to Oranim Deal revoke, with an expected losses of $2.8 million. Adjusting for this one-time losses, Q1 2024 operating expenses were $4.6 million compared to $6.5 million in Q1 2023, a decrease of 29%.

 

  • G&A Expenses in Q1 2024 were $2.3 million, compared to $3.2 million in Q1 2023, a decrease of 28%. The decrease in the G&A expense is attributable mainly to salaries and professional services of $0.64 million.

 

  • Selling and Marketing Expenses in Q1 2024 were $2.3 million, compared to $2.8 million in Q1 2023, a decrease of 18% mainly due to a decrease in Salaries and professional services of $0.5 million.

 

  • Net Loss from continuing operations in Q1 2024 was $6.0 million, compared to $0.9 million in Q12023.

 

  • Basic and diluted Loss per Share in Q1 2024 was $0.42, compared to a loss of $0.05 per Share in Q1 2023.

  • Cash and Cash Equivalents as of March 31, 2024, were $1.0 million compared to $1.8 million in December 31, 2023.

 

  • Total assets as of March 31, 2024, were $41.1 million, compared to $48.8 million in December 31, 2023, a decrease of 16%. The decrease is mainly attributed to the goodwill reduction due to Oranim agreement cancelation of about $2.8M, a reduction in Inventory of $2.1 million, reduction of Cash and cash equivalents of $0.8M and reduction in Trade payables of $1.2 million.

 

  • Total Liabilities as of March 31, 2024, were $32.8 million, compared to $35.1 in December 31, 2023, a decrease of about 7%. The decrease was mainly due to the reduction in other accounts payables and accrued expenses of $1.8 million and reduction in the PUT option liability of $0.7 million.

Non-IFRS Measures

This press release makes reference to “Gross Margin” and “Adjusted EBITDA”, which are financial measures that are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures are provided as complementary information to the Company’s IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures should neither be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS.

For an explanation of how management defines Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA, see the Company’s management’s discussion and analysis for the period ended March 31, 2024, available under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.
We reconcile these non-IFRS financial measures to the most comparable IFRS measures as set out below.
