Small Business Outlook Remains Strong

Entrepreneurs Split on Impact of Tax Reform, Trade Policies Economic
Outlook Conforms With Slower Economic Growth

CHARLOTTE, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–U.S. entrepreneurs continued to project a strong business outlook this
spring even as confidence in the national and local economy weakened,
according to the spring
2019 Bank of America Business Advantage Small Business Owner Report
.
Health care costs and the political environment topped the list of small
business owners’ concerns for the year ahead, while entrepreneurs
reported a mixed view on the impact of last year’s landmark tax reform
and shifts in trade policy.

The report, based on a semiannual survey of more than 1,500 small
business owners across the country, reveals that:

Small business owners’ business outlook over the next 12 months
remains strong and steady:

  • Sixty-seven percent of entrepreneurs plan to expand their business
    (steady from fall 2018).
  • Fifty-nine percent believe their revenue will increase (vs. 57 percent
    in fall 2018).
  • Twenty-four percent plan to hire (vs. 27 percent in fall 2018).
  • Twelve percent plan to apply for a loan (vs. 15 percent in fall 2018).

While their economic outlook weakens slightly:

  • Forty-eight percent are confident the national economy will improve
    (vs. 55 percent in fall 2018).
  • Fifty-one percent express similar confidence in their local economies
    (vs. 54 percent in fall 2018).
  • Top economic concerns have all risen since fall 2018, including health
    care costs (66 percent), interest rates (48 percent), stock market and
    consumer spending (both 47 percent).
  • The political environment, a new concern measured this spring, ranks
    as business owners’ second-greatest concern (65 percent).

“Small business owners remain optimistic about the outlook for their own
businesses and project revenue increases in the year ahead,” said Sharon
Miller, head of Small Business, Bank of America. “However, these
entrepreneurs are also feeling slightly less confident in the economy
and are expressing more concern about a variety of economic factors.”

Entrepreneurs split on effects of recent policy changes, contemplate
impact of climate change

Nearly two-thirds of entrepreneurs expressed concern about the current
political environment, though they are divided over how major policy
issues are directly impacting them. Half of small business owners say
the new tax code has impacted their business — with 28 percent reporting
that impact as positive. This is down from the 45 percent who
anticipated a positive impact one year ago.

Regarding U.S. trade policy, 41 percent say they have been impacted by
tariffs, with 18 percent reporting a negative impact, 9 percent
reporting a positive impact and 14 percent reporting a mixed impact.
Additionally, 33 percent of entrepreneurs say they’re concerned about
climate change affecting their business.

Most business owners preparing for the worst — but are they doing
enough?

Unexpected or major economic events can transform a business in the
blink of an eye. While most entrepreneurs are taking steps to protect
their business from potential threats, such as natural disasters, an
economic downturn or a cyber-breach, a sizeable number are not.
Additionally, most entrepreneurs do not have a plan to address
reputational crises or challenges.

  • Sixty-one percent have a business continuity plan in case of a flood,
    fire or other disaster, though 39 percent do not have such a plan.
  • Sixty-nine percent have taken steps to prepare for an economic
    downturn, while 31 percent have not.
  • Eighty percent of business owners have taken at least one step to
    protect customer data from a cyber-breach, while 20 percent have not
    taken any steps.
  • Seventy-six percent do not have a plan to manage reputational issues
    and threats.

Perhaps a result of growing up in a time of greater economic turmoil,
millennial business owners are more likely to have taken steps to
prepare their business for an economic downturn (79 percent vs. national
average of 69 percent) and are more likely to have a plan in place to
address reputational issues (36 percent vs. national average of 24
percent).

The power of posts — are online reviews more of a trust broker or
breaker?

Customer feedback holds tremendous sway in the digital era, with online
reviews serving as a powerful channel for sharing both compliments and
criticisms. While a majority of business owners have received a negative
online review of their business (54 percent), more believe positive
reviews have greater impact than negative ones (62 percent vs. 38
percent).

Furthermore, 63 percent say reviews are important to the success of
their business, with 80 percent reporting that positive reviews have
helped generate business opportunities. However, recognizing that
negative reviews also have an impact, 66 percent of business owners who
have received one say they respond as soon as possible to limit the
reputational damage.

Bank of America Business Advantage Small Business Owner Report Survey
Ipsos
Public Affairs conducted the Bank of America Small Business Owner Report
Survey for spring 2019 online between February 8 and February 24, 2019,
using a pre-recruited online sample of small business owners. Ipsos
contacted a national sample of 1,504 small business owners in the United
States with annual revenue between $100,000 and $4,999,999 and employing
between two and 99 employees. In addition, a total of approximately 300
small business owners were also surveyed in each of 10 target markets:
Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York,
San Francisco and Washington, D.C. The final results were weighted to
national benchmark standards for size, revenue and region.

Prior to 2016, previous waves of the Small Business Owner Report Survey
were conducted by telephone, and while best efforts were made to
replicate processes, differences in sample, weighting and method
suggests caution when making direct statistical comparisons of the
results from pre-2016 and post-2016.

Schwazze Management to Host Conference Call Today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time

DENVER, May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Medicine Man Technologies, Inc., operating as Schwazze, (OTCQX: SHWZ) (Cboe CA: SHWZ) (“Schwazze” or the “Company”), today announced financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

“We delivered another period of revenue growth in Q1 as we further refined our retail strategy while contending with the prolonged competitive challenges in Colorado and New Mexico,” said Forrest Hoffmaster, Interim CEO of Schwazze. “Throughout the quarter, we continued to sharpen our pricing and promotional efforts while enhancing the in-store experience, widening assortment, improving in-stock position, and advancing our loyalty program to attract and retain new customers. We also strengthened our wholesale business with quarter-over-quarter growth, while surpassing 30% total door penetration across both states.”

“The Colorado market remains highly competitive with more than 680 active recreational licenses, underscoring the importance of delivering an exceptional customer experience and fully integrated retail support program. Although retail pricing has recently stabilized, Colorado sales in Q1 were down 10% year-over-year due to lower volumes. Nonetheless, we significantly outpaced the market as our sales were up 9%, demonstrating the effectiveness of our operating playbook to compete in challenging environments. We expect to continue driving improvements in customer acquisition, retention, and loyalty as we further increase market share in the state.”

“In New Mexico, the proliferation of new licenses continued to outpace state cannabis sales as store count in Q1 increased 31% year-over-year while the market grew only 13%. In addition to pricing and promotional efforts, we’ve focused on driving traffic into our stores by expanding assortment with high quality flower and delivering an elevated customer experience. The New Mexico regulatory body has also increased its license enforcement efforts in recent months, contributing to more than 70 store closures and a 33% sequential decrease in net new store openings in the first quarter. We will continue to support the New Mexico Cannabis Control Division as it develops its regulatory framework.”

“Over the past four years we have rapidly scaled our footprint through 13 acquisitions, building a leading retail presence in both Colorado and New Mexico. We are beginning to see positive momentum from our pricing and promotional strategy and will remain focused on driving operating efficiencies while further optimizing our assets as we consolidate cultivation facilities and eliminate underperforming stores that do not meet our high-margin thresholds. We believe these initiatives, coupled with our operating playbook and strict cost controls, will enable us to return to stronger levels of profitability moving forward.”

  • Increased wholesale penetration in the first quarter to more than 30% of total doors in Colorado and New Mexico.
  • Lowell Herb Co. pre-roll sales increased more than 3x quarter-over-quarter in Colorado, where it continues to be the #1 pre-roll in the state.

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Total revenue in the first quarter of 2024 increased 4% to $41.6 million compared to $40.0 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to growth from new stores compared to the prior year period, partially offset by continued pricing pressure and the proliferation of new licenses in New Mexico.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2024 was $17.9 million or 43.1% of total revenue, compared to $21.8 million or 54.6% of total revenue for the same quarter last year. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by the aforementioned pricing pressure in New Mexico, as well as higher medical sales mix in Colorado.

____________________________

1 Q4 2023 Gross Profit includes one-time, non-cash inventory adjustments of approximately $13.1 million comprised of $3.1 million of product consolidation, obsolescence, and shrinkage expenses, $4.3 million of net realizable value adjustments, and $5.8 million of fair value adjustments on acquired inventory in New Mexico in 2023. 
2  Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure as defined by the SEC, and represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted for other income, non-cash share-based compensation, one-time transaction related expenses, or other non-operating costs. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as it believes it better explains the results of its core business. See “ADJUSTED EBITDA RECONCILIATION (NON-GAAP)” section herein for an explanation and reconciliations of non-GAAP measure used throughout this release.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were $20.6 million compared to $16.2 million for the same quarter last year. The year-ago period benefitted from a payroll tax credit of $3.9M. The remaining increase was primarily driven by personnel expenses and four-wall SG&A costs associated with 21 additional stores in Colorado and New Mexico that are still ramping.

Loss from operations for the first quarter of 2024 was $2.7 million compared to income from operations of $5.6 million in the same quarter last year. Net loss was $16.1 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to net income of $1.7 million for the same quarter last year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2024 was $7.3 million compared to $14.5 million for the same quarter last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by lower gross margin and higher operating expenses associated with the 21 additional stores that are still ramping.

As of March 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $13.2 million compared to $19.2 million on December 31, 2023. Total debt as of March 31, 2024, was $159.7 million compared to $156.8 million on December 31, 2023.
