  • New product start-up costs and related manufacturing inefficiencies of
    approximately $10 million in the quarter
  • Consolidated gross margin of 38.6%, inclusive of new product start-up
    impact of approximately 560 bps
  • Consolidated earnings per share of $0.54

WINCHESTER, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Trex Company, Inc. (NYSE: TREX), the world’s number-one brand of decking
and railing and leader in high-performance, low-maintenance outdoor
living products, and a leading national provider of custom-engineered
railing systems, today reported financial results for the first quarter
ended March 31, 2019.

First Quarter 2019 Results

Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2019 were $180 million,
reflecting a 5% year-over-year increase. Trex Residential Products net
sales increased 7% to $165 million. Trex Commercial Products contributed
an additional $14 million, compared to $16 million in the year
ago-quarter. Consolidated gross margin was 38.6%, representing gross
margins of 40.2% and 20.5%, respectively, from Trex Residential and Trex
Commercial. SG&A was $30 million, or 16.8% of sales.

Net income for the first quarter of 2019 was $32 million, or $0.54 per
diluted share, compared to $37 million, or $0.63 per diluted share
reported for last year’s first quarter.

“First quarter revenue growth was supported by strong demand for both
our legacy and new residential decking and railing products, resulting
in a product mix that was in line with our expectations. Startup costs
and related manufacturing inefficiencies associated with production of
our new Enhance Naturals and Basics decking unfavorably impacted
residential gross profit by approximately $10 million and significantly
reduced our throughput during the quarter. In March, we made a profile
change to our Trex Enhance decking board to increase throughput and
began to see substantially improved production rates at the end of the
quarter. Our capacity was also constrained by two equipment failures at
our Nevada facility during the first quarter which resulted in the loss
of two production lines for over thirty days each. We will experience
reduced throughput in Nevada during the second quarter as well, but we
expect the reduced throughput and related expenses to be behind us by
the end of June.

“Trex Commercial revenue was consistent with plan, and gross margin
showed year-over-year and sequential expansion of 280 and 210 basis
points, respectively, thanks to operational and organizational changes
that increased efficiencies, and the continued run-off of older
contracts,” noted James E. Cline, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Recent Recognitions

  • For the 12th consecutive year, Trex was named number one in “brand
    familiarity,” “brand used most” and “brand used most in the past two
    years” for the composite/PVC decking category in the 2019 Builder
    magazine’s annual Brand Use Study.
  • Trex Company was honored with Green Builder Media’s 2019 Readers’
    Choice Award for manufacturing “greenest” decking.
  • According to the recent PRODUCTS Brand Use Survey, Trex®
    has been named the most preferred decking product among trade
    professionals, outranking the traditional pressure-treated lumber.

Summary and Outlook

“Market conditions continue to be favorable, demand for Trex decking and
railing products remains very strong, and early data indicate that
interest in our new Enhance products is robust and broad-based. This
supports our expectation that the re-engineered and expanded line of
Trex Enhance composite decking has significantly increased the size of
our addressable market and will accelerate the conversion from wood. We
are focused on increasing production capabilities as we move through
2019, but as we have said previously, Trex Residential margin
performance for the first half of 2019 will continue to reflect start-up
costs associated with the new product production. We expect gross margin
to progressively increase throughout this year, although due to our
first quarter results and continued startup costs in the second quarter,
we are revising our incremental margin guidance to approximately 40% for
full year 2019. Second quarter consolidated gross margin is expected to
improve sequentially by approximately 300 basis points.

“Trex continued to execute on its long-term capital allocation
priorities in the first quarter and repurchased 125,000 shares for $8.7
million as part of the share buyback program approved by the Board of
Directors in February 2018.

“For the second quarter of 2019, we expect consolidated net sales in the
range of $195 million to $205 million, as we work toward meeting strong
market demand,” Mr. Cline concluded.

Published

on

im-cannabis-reports-first-quarter-financial-results

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.

Apollo Green to distribute Humboldt Seed Company clonal cannabis genetics to Germany, Portugal and Australia

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Humboldt Seed Company (HSC), California’s leading cannabis seed producer, has announced a partnership with Canadian-based Apollo Green to make eight breeder cuts available to researchers, licensed commercial cultivators and home growers in legal markets worldwide. This first-to-market clonal genetics release is a significant milestone and will expand access to distinctive, high-quality cannabis genetics in both established and emerging global markets including Germany, Portugal and Australia.

The curated, breeder-verified selection includes pioneering triploid genetics, such as OG Triploid and Donutz Triploid alongside the legendary cult classic Blueberry Muffin. Also available are All Gas OG with a THC content of 21% and four high-THC strains in the 30-35% range: Golden Sands, Guzzlerz, Jelly Donutz and Orange Creampop. These selections represent the top .01% from HSC’s extensive California pheno-hunting program.

Exports will begin in May under Apollo Green’s Canadian federal cannabis license. All shipments have Canadian phytosanitary certification, ensuring plants have been inspected, and are clean and free of pests.

“Access for all to quality genetics has been our core focus since the beginning,” said HSC Co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Benjamin Lind. “Our science-based approach to breeding aligns perfectly with Apollo Green’s high standards and we are excited to be able to extend these hand-selected cuts to a wider audience, especially at this pivotal time where we’re seeing positive regulatory changes globally.”

Oisin Tierney, Apollo Green Director of Business Development, said, “California has long been recognized for setting industry standards, and we are proud to play a role in bringing these esteemed genetics to cultivators worldwide. The triploids are especially noteworthy in terms of the unprecedented potential for enhanced plant vigor, higher yields, shorter flowering times and superior returns for solventless extraction.”
