Biome Grow Inc. (BIOIF) (BIO.CN) Quadruples Revenue, Triples Gross Profit in Q2, 2019

Biome Grow Inc. (“Biome”or the “Company”) (CSE: BIO, OTCQB: BIOIF, 6OTA:GR) today released consolidated financial statements for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2019.  The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements including the notes thereto, the Company’s corresponding Management’s Discussion and Analysis and a supplemental information presentation are available on the Company’s website at www.biomegrow.com under “investors” and on SEDAR at www.SEDAR.COM.  All financial information in this press release is reported in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Highlights of the Quarter:

• Revenue in Q2 was approximately four times the level realized in Q1: $1.35MM vs $341M.  Gross profit approximately tripled over the same period: $600M versus $204M.
• Average selling price per gram increased by 15% from $6.80 to $7.86 while the average cost per gram of our cultivated product declined to $2.31 from $2.72 sequentially.
• Highland Grow was net income profitable in Q2 on a stand-alone basis, a significant achievement for an operation in only its second quarter of commercial production.
• Biome received approval to sell cannabis in the province of Saskatchewan.

Subsequent to the quarter, there were three other positive developments which we feel bode well for Q3:

• Biome introduced new packaging automation in its facility in Antigonish, Nova Scotia that will greatly increase the amount of product Highland Grow can supply its customers with.
• Earlier this month, Biome announced that it had increased its national supply footprint to five provinces from three adding  Manitoba and a supply agreement with the provincial government of New Brunswick
• Also, in August, Biome received Environmental Approval for the refurbishment of its flagship facility in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Biome CEO Khurram Malik: “We’re very proud of the work our Highland Grow team in Nova Scotia has done to achieve a significant sequential ramp up in business in the second quarter.  We are also very proud that Highland Grow was able to achieve profitability less than two quarters after entering commercial production. This aligns with our stated vision from the start to build strong, local brands with products that end customers feel are designed specifically for their unique requirements.

Our current quarter (Q3), is also achieving a significant increase in business over what we are reporting today for Q2 and we are looking forward to sharing these results once this period has concluded.”
