America Rebel Holdings, Inc.’s (NASDAQ: AREB) ($AREB) Chairman/CEO Andy Ross is with New to The Street’s TV Host Jane King. From the Nasdaq MarketSite studio, Andy talks about AREB, a NASDAQ publicly traded company that makes “American Made” products. Recognized as “America’s Patriotic Brand,” the Company has several product lines, including safes. A recent FBI raid on the home of a suspected participant on January 6, 2021, at the US Capitol Building revealed a disturbing issue. A competitor’s safe, Liberty Safe, was in the home, and the FBI contacted that manufacturer about the make and model and then Liberty handed over data to open the safe without proper legal premise. Andy explains to viewers that the Company would request appropriate legal service if the FBI contacted American Rebel regarding its Champion safe. Andy informs viewers that American Rebel believes in the United States’ Constitution and those rights inherent to Americans. Privacy is essential to every American, and if the FBI served the Company, Management would fight the legal subpoena under constitutional grounds. American Rebel would never hand over proprietary safe codes.. Demand is up for the Champion’s safes because of this FBI incident. American Rebel’s Champion Safes are affordable and reliable. Another soon-to-launch American Rebel product, “American Rebel Beer,” is coming to market. The US Beer market generates around $44B yearly, and American Rebel Beer is looking forward to breaking into the US Beer market. The roll-out of its lager and light beers will be regional, with the expectation of becoming national in 2024. It is working on other beer flavors, with roll-outs expected in the months ahead. During the Show, Andy announces his new Music CD, “I Stand for You,” which can be heard on airwaves or downloaded digitally. The American Rebel Beer jingle will air soon. Viewers can learn more about the Company’s mission and products through its strong social media presence, websites, and websites like www.americanrebel.com and www.andyross.com.

From the Nasdaq MarketSite studio, Rokas Sidlauskas, Chief Marketing Officer of Society Pass Incorporated (NASDAQ: SOPA) ($SOPA) (“Society Pass”) talks with New to The Street’s TV Host Jane King about SOPA. With a focus on acquisitions and growing its next-generation digital e-commerce platform, SOPA continues to onboard businesses and individuals throughout Southeast Asia. Rokas explains that with about 650 million people, SE Asia is a strong growing market, and SOPA has positioned itself to take advantage of this demographic. SOPA has business operations in Vietnam with a population of 100M, and about 55% are under 30. With a highly tech-savvy population, SE Asia embraces technology and digital solutions. The Company’s loyalty program can be interchangeable in other countries. Through SOPA’s business verticals in retail goods, fintech, telecom, travel, food/beverage, and digital marketing, Rokas gives an example where travel rewards in one country are available to purchase retail products in a different country. SOPA has business operations in Singapore, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand and is looking into expanding into Malaysia. 70% of the SE Asian population does not have a conventional banking account; they use digital wallets for purchases. Rokas believes SOPA has opportunities to expand its digital ecosystem to the “Unbanked.” The Company continues executing its business plan and wants to increase its digital ecosystem loyalty program.

All amounts are reported in Canadian dollars and compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023, unless otherwise stated.

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

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.
