Cannabis
Zenabis Provides Operations Update for September 2019
Zenabis Global Inc. (TSX:ZENA) (“Zenabis” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide an update on its recent facility construction and licensing activities and recent cannabis production results.
Highlights:
- With respect to production results:
- Cultivation output in September 2019 was 2,089 kg of dried cannabis, with production at Zenabis Atholville outperforming its revised design capacity by 21.8% (the Performance Ratio1).
- Cultivation output of 2,089 kg of dried cannabis was 21.2% greater than Zenabis’ revised forecast output (as updated on August 6, 2019) of 1,731 kg of dried cannabis.
- Cultivation output in September 2019 was 2,089 kg of dried cannabis, with production at Zenabis Atholville outperforming its revised design capacity by 21.8% (the Performance Ratio1).
- Zenabis submitted a license amendment application for Zenabis Langley’s existing cultivation license on September 27, 2019 to include additional growing areas totaling 101,300 sq. ft. for Zenabis Langley – Part 2A. Zenabis’ licensed annual production capacity is expected to increase by 39,400 kg to 96,400 kg once this license amendment is approved by Health Canada.
- Zenabis continues to focus on construction and licensing of Zenabis Langley. Zenabis has revised its construction timelines at Zenabis Langley to split Zenabis Langley – Part 2B into two phases (Zenabis Langley – Part 2B and Zenabis Langley – Part 2C) in order to preserve cashflow given current market conditions and reduce ramp-up risk, among other reasons detailed below. Zenabis expects to submit a license amendment for Part 2B in November 2019 (14,800 kg of licensed annual production capacity). Zenabis expects to submit a license amendment for Part 2C in February 2020 (32,000 kg of licensed annual production capacity) to the extent this is justified by market demand at economic prices. Zenabis’ total annual cultivation capacity is expected to increase to 143,200 kg of dried cannabis on completion of licensing at Zenabis Langley early in the second quarter of 2020.
Andrew Grieve, Chief Executive Officer of Zenabis, stated, “We continued to see strong cultivation results in September, with output exceeding our forecast of 1,731 kg by 21.8%. Our Performance Ratio decreased month over month as a result of the significant number of harvests from newly licensed rooms in the month (five of the 10 harvests). The Performance Ratio for newly licensed rooms harvested in September was 14.2% while the Performance Ratio for rooms that had previously been operated was 30.0%. Although the variety of cultivation approaches and rapid scale-up at Zenabis Atholville continues to cause room by room variance, steady-state yields for each cultivar are expected in the near-term, with general steady-state operations expected at Zenabis Atholville by the end of 2019.
“Since our last update, we increased our licensed annual cultivation capacity to 57,000 kg and submitted a licence application that is expected to increase our licensed annual production capacity by 69%, from 57,000 kg to 96,400 kg,” continued Andrew Grieve, Chief Executive Office of Zenabis. “While the timeline revision for Zenabis Langley will delay achieving full design capacity at the facility, we expect to have 96,400 kg of capacity licensed and operational by the end of 2019 with approval of the Zenabis Langley – Part 2A amendment. By early in the first quarter of 2020, we expect to have 111,200 kg of capacity licensed and operational with the approval of the Zenabis Langley – Part 2B amendment.”

To better reflect the actual performance of its facilities, the Company reports a Performance Ratio, calculated as follows: after each harvest, Zenabis calculates the dry weight cannabis output for each room (the “Total Output”), taking into account the amount of days in production through a combination of: (1) the amount of flower room days used (including turnaround time) for that room; and (2) the amount of flower-room equivalent days required from other flower rooms in support of that harvest (together the “Effective Flower Room Equivalent Days”). Zenabis then divides the Total Output by the Effective Flower Room Equivalent Days in order to produce the “Effective Yield Per Day” for each room, and then divides the Effective Yield Per Day by the Design Capacity Yield Per Day for each room in order to determine actual performance versus the Design Capacity Yield Per Day (this ratio being the “Performance Ratio”). Zenabis believes that the Performance Ratio will provide investors with the best measure of actual cultivation performance versus Zenabis’ published design capacity. Zenabis intends to update and publish updated design capacities for each of its facilities when a facility has harvested from all its flower rooms (with the update at that time reflecting the most recent performance from each flower room) and again, if required due to significantly different results, when a facility achieves consistent monthly performance at a level that is different from its published Design Capacity. Zenabis revised its design capacity at Zenabis Atholville upwards by 35% (equal to Zenabis Atholville’s Performance Ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2019) from 34,300 kg per annum to 46,300 kg per annum. Zenabis no longer reports outperformance relative to original design capacity (the kg/day figure utilized to derive the 34,300 kg design capacity). |
Cannabis Production Summary
In September 2019, Zenabis realized a total harvest weight of 2,089 kg of dried cannabis.
The amount harvested at Zenabis Atholville for the three months ending September 30, 2019 exceeded the revised design capacity of the flower rooms by an average of 25.7%, compared to 23.2% in the three-month period from June 2019 through August 2019. A month-to-month comparison of actual harvests compared with harvest forecast based on revised design capacity between January 2019 and September 2019 for Zenabis Atholville is provided in the table below.

The Revised Design Capacity Harvest Weight is based on the “design capacity” yield that Zenabis has disclosed to date. This figure was derived by converting the actual square footage of flower room space and the forecast canopy for each specific flower room into a kilograms per room per day figure based on Zenabis’ historical yield data at the Zenabis Atholville facility based on the yield performance in the three months ending June 2019 for revised design capacity. The Revised Design Capacity Harvest Weight in the table above is the harvest weight that would have resulted if the Design Capacity Yield Per Day for a room was multiplied by the Effective Flower Room Equivalent Days, as defined under “Performance Ratio”. Zenabis has revised its design capacity at Zenabis Atholville upwards by 35% (equal to Zenabis Atholville’s Performance Ratio for the three months ended June 30, 2019) from 34,300 kg per annum to 46,300 kg per annum. Zenabis no longer reports outperformance relative to original design capacity (the kg/day figure utilized to derive the 34,300 kg original design capacity for Zenabis Atholville) |
In September 2019, Zenabis completed 10 harvests at Zenabis Atholville. The average Performance Ratio for these harvests was 21.8% relative to the revised design capacity. In September 2019, Zenabis did not complete any harvests at Zenabis Stellarton or Zenabis Langley.
2019 Harvest Forecast – Zenabis Atholville, Zenabis Stellarton and Zenabis Langley Site A – Part 1
For its existing licensed facilities of Zenabis Atholville, Zenabis Stellarton and Zenabis Langley Site A – Part 1, Zenabis expects to produce approximately 16,7335 kg of dried cannabis from October 2019 through January 2020. Zenabis continues to expect to complete its first harvest from Zenabis Langley in November. Zenabis’ forecast harvest output in November includes 1,650 kg from Zenabis Langley. The following table sets out Zenabis’ estimated aggregate monthly harvests for Zenabis Atholville, Zenabis Stellarton and Zenabis Langley Site A – Part 1 for the remainder of 2019 and January of 2020.

This forward-looking estimate of future harvest results is based on the following material assumptions: (1) Zenabis Stellarton and Zenabis Langley Site A – Part 1 operate at their published design capacity on a room by room basis for the cultivation space that is licensed and in cultivation at the forward-looking periods noted; (2) Atholville rooms operate based on the current flower schedule and at revised design capacity (a 35% increase relative to original design capacity); and (3) Cultivation commencement at Zenabis Langley Site A – Part 1 in September 2019. |
Zenabis intends to provide a monthly cultivation forecast for Zenabis Langley Site A – Part 2A and Zenabis Langley Site A – Part 2B upon receipt of all cultivation license amendments for these phases.
Cannabis Post-Harvesting and Packaging Discussion
The timeline from harvest to the point at which Zenabis completes a sale of that product ranges from a minimum of three weeks (in the case of a bulk sale to a licensed producer) to more than eight weeks (in the case of soft gel capsules which involve external extraction, processing, filling, packaging and shipment). Zenabis recognizes the revenue from completion of such sales in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
In August 2019, Zenabis replaced its original packaging equipment (for bud jar filling) at Zenabis Atholville with new packaging equipment intended to achieve output of 30,000 units per day (equivalent to more than 90,000 grams per day at current average volumes per jar). During September 2019, the new packaging equipment was not able to achieve its expected output. Instead average output in September was 6,276 units per day, resulting in completed bud filling of only 517 kg (this excludes pre-roll packaging and bulk packaging). As a result, Zenabis was not able to package, ship and sell all of its product cultivated in August and September that had been destined for provincial counterparties, causing a delay in achieving the Company’s expected revenues. With focused troubleshooting, Zenabis has now achieved primary packaging output of 11,643 units per day, on average, during the 14 days ending October 20, 2019, with a maximum of 22,416 units per day. In addition, Zenabis has moved the original packaging equipment at Zenabis Atholville to Zenabis Stellarton and is in the process of ramping-up packaging at Zenabis Stellarton (bud filling commenced October 10, 2019 and pre-roll packaging commenced September 11, 2019). Zenabis expects that, as of November 2019, the Company will have surplus packaging capacity, and that there will be no further delays in the Company’s ability to package, ship and sell all of the product cultivated at Zenabis Atholville.
Currently, indicative demand from provincial counterparties exceeds forecast supply of both packaged flower and packaged pre-rolls for October 2019 through January of 2020 without further reductions in price. Indicative demand does not necessarily translate into actual demand, as the planning process with provincial counterparties may not result in firm volume indications until two weeks prior to a shipment, with purchase orders at times being finalized within days of shipments. As ramp-up of Zenabis’ facilities and the facilities of competitors occurs, Zenabis expects continued pressure on wholesale pricing to be applied by provincial counterparties.
In September, Zenabis packaged 650 kg of bulk product and shipped 190 kg, with the remainder held over for shipment to bulk counterparties in October to meet prepaid supply agreement commitments. Zenabis packaged 732 kg of flower and pre-rolls for provincial counterparties in September and shipped 462 kg. Zenabis also shipped 174 litres of oil products in September.
Construction and Facility Update
Zenabis Atholville
Now that construction is substantially complete4 at Zenabis Atholville, Zenabis is focused on operational improvements to reduce operating costs (increasing packaging automation, for example), improve post-harvest processing, increase yield, and improve packaging throughput.
Zenabis Langley
The first phase of Zenabis Langley (Zenabis Langley – Part 1) is licensed and operational. Since Zenabis’ August operations update was released, Zenabis has reached substantial completion of Part 2A4 and submitted a cultivation license amendment for this phase.
Zenabis remains focused on converting the remaining portion of Zenabis Langley but has revised its conversion plan for these phases to split Zenabis Langley – Part 2B into two phases (Zenabis Langley – Part 2B and Zenabis Langley – Part 2C). Zenabis has made this revision for the following reasons:
- Focus on Cashflow Generation. By revising the timeline for the submission of Zenabis Langley’s final two flower rooms (Zenabis Langley – Part 2C), Zenabis expects to be able to reduce cashflow outflows for capital expenditure as Zenabis works to generate positive cashflow from operations.
- Staggering Operational Ramp-Up. Further staggering the operational ramp-up at Zenabis Langley is expected to reduce the inherent issues that come with ramping up a facility of this size. As is illustrated by the packaging discussion above (regarding ramp-up at Zenabis Atholville), ramp-up challenges are possible in this industry. While Zenabis is focused on ramping up its facilities in a manner where any commercially possible action is taken to mitigate ramp-up risk, Zenabis believes that staggering the ramp-up at Zenabis Langley is in the best interest of the Company.
- Defer Budget Overages. Zenabis recently identified that it expects to spend the entirety of its estimated amount remaining at Zenabis Langley (as forecast in Zenabis’ MD&A for the period ending June 30, 2019 at $13,700,000) upon completion of Part 2B. As a result, Zenabis expects capital expenditure amounts remaining to spend relating to Part 2C to be budget overages (estimated to be $4,000,000). This overage was driven by increases in equipment costs relating to HVAC equipment and automated tray tables. Zenabis has made the decision to defer this overage expenditure to a time when it can be funded by operating cashflow as opposed to cash on hand.
Zenabis expects this timeline revision to have the following impact on the cumulative capacity submitted for licensing at Zenabis Langley:

Zenabis defines substantial completion as the ability to undertake (subject to licensing) all production activities within the design capacity of the facility. |
Zenabis Stellarton
On September 6, 2019, Zenabis received a cannabis processing license for Zenabis Stellarton. Zenabis commenced pre-roll production at Zenabis Stellarton during the week of September 9, 2019. Zenabis’ current pre-roll production capacity at Zenabis Stellarton is estimated at ~600 kg of pre-rolls per month. Zenabis intends to achieve output of 1,200 kg of pre-rolls per month at Zenabis Stellarton by November 2019, subject to market demand for pre-rolls.
In addition, as noted above, Zenabis has installed at Zenabis Stellarton the packaging equipment (for bud jar filling) previously used at Zenabis Atholville. Following completion of the ramp-up of this equipment, combined with the new packaging equipment in operation at Zenabis Atholville, Zenabis expects to have excess packaging capacity.
Zenabis Delta
Zenabis is currently in the process of constructing extraction and post-processing capacity, a product development lab, a formulation design lab, and a full ISO certified analytical testing lab at Zenabis Delta. This construction project is expected to be complete in the first half of 2020.
Licensing Update
Zenabis is currently in the process of various licensing applications for Zenabis Delta, Zenabis Langley, Zenabis Stellarton and the Zen Craft Grow program as outlined in the table below:

Zenabis is currently using Zenabis Pitt Meadows, Zenabis Aldergrove and Zenabis Langley for the Company’s propagation and floral business, as well as hemp cultivation activities. All hemp cultivation at Zenabis Aldergrove that uses greenhouse space is currently not being used by the propagation and floral business, and thus will not have a negative impact on Zenabis’ propagation and floral business. Hemp cultivation will neither interfere with the planned cannabis cultivation activities at Zenabis Langley, nor will it reduce the cannabis cultivation design capacity of Zenabis Langley.

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.

Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “estimate”, “expect”, “likely” and “intend” and statements that an event or result “may”, “will”, “should”, “could” or “might” occur or be achieved and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on the estimates and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. In the press release, such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to: the impact of the Israel-Hamas war on the Company, including its operations and the medical cannabis industry in Israel; the timing and impact of the legalization of medicinal cannabis in Germany, including, the Company having it “all in house”; the Company being positioned to take advantage of the legalization; the Company’s growth in 2024; the market growth for medicinal cannabis in Germany; the stated benefits of the Company’s EU-GMP processing facility and an EU-GDP logistics center; the Company to host a teleconference meeting as stated; and the Company’s stated goals, scope, and nature of operations in Germany, Israel, and other jurisdictions the Company may operate.
Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, including but not limited to: the Company’s ability to focus and resources to achieve sustainable and profitable growth in its highest value markets; the Company’s ability to mitigate the impact of the Israel-Hamas war on the Company; the Company’s ability to take advantage of the legalization of medicinal cannabis in Germany; the Company’s ability to host a teleconference meeting as stated; and the Company’s ability to carry out its stated goals, scope, and nature of operations in Germany, Israel, and other jurisdictions the Company may operate.
The above lists of forward-looking statements and assumptions are not exhaustive. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors and risks. These include: the failure of the Company to comply with applicable regulatory requirements in a highly regulated industry; unexpected changes in governmental policies and regulations in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates; the Company’s ability to continue to meet the listing requirements of the Canadian Securities Exchange and the NASDAQ Capital Market; any unexpected failure to maintain in good standing or renew its licenses; the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group“) to deliver on their sales commitments or growth objectives; the reliance of the Group on third-party supply agreements to provide sufficient quantities of medical cannabis to fulfil the Group’s obligations; the Group’s possible exposure to liability, the perceived level of risk related thereto, and the anticipated results of any litigation or other similar disputes or legal proceedings involving the Group; the impact of increasing competition; any lack of merger and acquisition opportunities; adverse market conditions; the inherent uncertainty of production quantities, qualities and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses; risks of product liability and other safety-related liability from the usage of the Group’s cannabis products; supply chain constraints; reliance on key personnel; the risk of defaulting on existing debt; risks surrounding war, conflict and civil unrest in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, including the impact of the Israel-Hamas war on the Company, its operations and the medical cannabis industry in Israel; risks associated with the Company focusing on the Israel and Germany markets; the inability of the Company to achieve sustainable profitability and/or increase shareholder value; the inability of the Company to actively manage costs and/or improve margins; the inability of the company to grow and/or maintain sales; the inability of the Company to meet its goals and/or strategic plans; the inability of the Company to reduce costs and/or maintain revenues; the Company’s inability to take advantage of the legalization of medicinal cannabis in Germany; and the Company’s inability to host a teleconference meeting as stated.
