Lifeloc Reports First Quarter 2019 and Shareholder Vote Results

Published

on

Reading Time: 6 minutes

WHEAT RIDGE, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Lifeloc Technologies, Inc. (OTC: LCTC), a global leader in the
development and manufacturing of breath alcohol and drug testing
devices, has announced financial results for the first quarter ended
March 31, 2019, as well as the results for the 2019 annual shareholder
meeting.

First Quarter Financial Highlights

We posted quarterly net revenue of $2.07 million resulting in quarterly
net income after taxes of $31 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share.
These results compare to net revenue of $2.20 million and quarterly net
income of $11 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share in the first quarter
of 2018. Revenue for the quarter declined 6% versus the first quarter
last year. This decline appears to have coincided with the federal
government shutdown which adversely affected buying in regulated testing
areas as well as local law enforcement purchases. Even though revenue
declined, earnings improved through lower operating expenses. Gross
margin on total revenue remained unchanged in the current quarter 45%
versus 45% in the same quarter last year.

Shareholder Meeting

Lifeloc conducted its annual shareholder meeting May 6th at
the company’s headquarters in Wheat Ridge, CO. The proposed slate of
directors was elected with over 99% of the votes cast and the
appointment of auditors was ratified, also by more than 99% of the votes
cast. Following the business portion of the meeting, a brief company
status report was presented, and these slides are available on our
website, www.lifeloc.com/shareholderMeeting.

Product Pipeline

Our vision is that Lifeloc becomes the world’s leading company in
real-time alcohol and drug abuse detection and monitoring. We have been
investing aggressively in product development to achieve this vision,
focusing on a few major product developments that are expected to have a
significant impact on our performance. We are now at the point where we
will start to reap the benefit of these investments.

The premier breathalyzer model of our new platform, the Lifeloc LX9,
went into production during the quarter. The LX9 satisfies many market
needs for performance and connectivity and combines these features in
one easy to use package. To support the new platform, our patented
Easycal® calibration station has been upgraded to the Easycal
G2 second generation calibration station. This model is compatible with
our existing installed base of professional breathalyzers as well as the
new platform. The G2 model includes RFID (Radio Frequency
Identification) reading of calibration standard data, which further
automates the calibration process.

Likewise, the new model of the R.A.D.A.R.® (Real-time Alcohol
Detection and Reporting) device is moving forward. Prototype devices are
in testing, with production expected later this year. R.A.D.A.R. devices
are alcohol monitoring units which can be used as a tool to supervise
offenders as an alternative to incarceration. Onboard biometrics
automatically verify the identity of the test subject. R.A.D.A.R.
devices are a critical step in moving our business towards a recurring
revenue model.

Our marijuana breathalyzer remains a key target for product development.
The continued broader legalization of marijuana only increases the need
for a rapid, quantitative roadside test to identify drivers under the
influence of marijuana. The completion of other projects will allow
resources to be redirected towards accelerating this effort. The ability
of our technology to detect delta-9-THC down to a concentration of 5
nanograms per milliliter and to collect a testable sample from a vapor
stream has already been demonstrated in our laboratories. Detection of
THC is accomplished through the SpinDx technology, licensed exclusively
by Lifeloc Technologies for drugs of abuse from Sandia National
Laboratory. More work is needed to convert this technology into a
simple-to-operate device suitable for roadside testing.

IMC prepares for accelerated growth after legalization in Germany and recovers from the impact of the Israel-Hamas war.

TORONTO and GLIL YAM, Israel, May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IM Cannabis Corp. (the “Company” or “IMC“) (NASDAQ: IMCC) (CSE: IMCC), an international medical cannabis company, announced its financial results today for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. All amounts are reported in Canadian dollars and compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.

Q1 2024 Financial Highlights

  • 13% Revenue increase vs. Q4 2023 of $12.1M vs. $10.7M and 4% decrease vs. Q1 2023 of $12.5M

 

  • 125% Gross profit increase vs. Q4 2023 of $1.8M vs. $0.8 and 39% Gross profit decrease vs. Q1 2023 of $2.9M

 

  • 29% decrease in operating expenses vs. Q1 2023 excluding the one-time Oranim revoke related losses of $4.6M vs. $6.5M and 14% increase including Oranim

 

  • 12% increase of Non-IFRS Adjusted EBITDA loss to $2.1M

Operational Highlights

The Company intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the “Offering“) of secured convertible debentures of the Company (each, a “Debenture“) for aggregate proceeds of up to C$2,500,000. The Debentures will mature on the date that is 12 months from the date of issuance and will not incur interest except in the event of default. The Debentures are being issued to holders of short term loans and obligations owed by the Company or its wholly owned subsidiaries. The principal of the Debenture may be converted into common shares in the Company (each, a “Share“) at a conversion price of $1.08 per Share.

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.

If you are unable to join us live, a recording of the call will be available on our website at https://investors.imcannabis.com/ within 24 hours after the call.

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.

 

  • Non-IFRS Adjusted EBITDA loss in Q1 2024 was $2.1 million, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.9 million in Q1 2023 an increase of 10%.

 

  • 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.

 

The Company’s financial statements as of March 31, 2024 includes a note regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s Q1 2024 financial results do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. For more information, please refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Risk Factors” sections in the Company’s management’s discussion and analysis for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

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.
