1933 Industries Reports First Quarter Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2020

Management Commentary

In Q1, the Company continued to focus on building its portfolio of consumer cannabis goods by adding new and established brands to the Nevada market, and by launching its own co-branded products in new verticals. As a growth-orientated company, 1933 Industries also focused on the expansion of its infrastructure assets that, when at full production, will provide the necessary raw materials to support its brands and increase margins. During Q1, the Company’s cultivation arm, Alternative Medicine Association (“AMA”), oversaw the first growth cycle of cannabis plants in its new and expanded facility in Las Vegas. AMA also initiated the expansion of its extraction facility in Las Vegas. It also completed a management agreement with a California-based operation, thereby giving the Company cultivation and manufacturing access to the largest cannabis market in the United States.

Total revenues for Q1 were $3.9 million, down 26% from its previous quarter, mainly due to the decline in market share for vape and distillate sales in the recreational market in Nevada. Vaping accounts for 25% of cannabis sales in Nevada and according to economic analysis firm, New Frontier, while the nationwide decline was 15% during the first week of September, at the state level, Nevada saw a drop of 32% in vape sales.

The Company’s cash position in Q1 is $14.9 million, compared to $17.6 million at July 31, 2019, a decrease of 15%. The current cash position continues to maintain a high cash-per-share position. Working capital was $21.4 million, compared to $22.5 million in the previous quarter, a slight decrease of 4.9%. Total assets were $61.4 million, compared to $61.7 million at July 31, 2019, and compared to $56 million in Q1 2019. The Company’s cash position allows it to service its debenture payments, fund infrastructure projects and execute its growth plan.

The Company’s manufacturer of CBD wellness products, Infused MFG (“Infused”), continued to gain traction and contributed $2.1 million in revenues during the reporting quarter. 91%-owned AMA contributed $1.8 million in total revenues.

Gross margin was $2.1 million in Q1, an increase of 156% from $815,690 in its previous quarter. The increase in the gross margin percentage is primarily due to decreased purchases by AMA of third-party biomass to produce concentrates and final products. As the Company begins to produce sufficient amounts of biomass from its new facility, it anticipates to significantly improve the realized gross margins.

The Company saw a 33% decrease in net loss from its previous quarter, from $5.7 million or $0.02 in Q4 2019, to $3.8 million or $0.01 per share for Q1 2020 compared to $3.0 million or $0.01 per share for Q1 2019. The decrease in net loss is a result of realized operational efficiencies across the organization and the implementation of company-wide cost-cutting measures in order to lower expenses. All non-essential consulting services were cut as the Company remains committed to achieving profitability and increasing shareholder value. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $1.8 million for Q1 2020 compared to $1.0 million for Q1 2019. Expenses were $5.9 million for Q1 2020 and $4.7 million for the same period in 2019.

Commentary by Mr. Chris Rebentisch, Chief Executive Officer

“Company revenues for Q1 2020 were impacted by lower than expected sales from vape products, largely attributed to the rampant use of vitamin E acetate in black market products. Despite weakness in this segment, we anticipate a recovery in vape sales across both our AMA and Infused subsidiaries as well as the demand in the supply chain for distillate normalizing in Nevada in early 2020. With over 100+ SKUs across 5 product lines as intellectual property, and 8 licensing partners, we believe that our diversified product portfolio and product mix will aid us in sustaining our future growth. Our products will continue to be differentiated by the quality of our ingredients, our commitment to safety and our diversity of innovative consumer brands. Cannabis sales continue to remain strong in Nevada, reaching $639 million in its fiscal year ended June 30, while 80% of sales occur in Clark County, according to the Nevada Department of Taxation figures. Over the last two years of operations we have built AMA and Canna Hemp™ into valuable and respected brands, we have attracted the top brand names in the industry as our partners in Nevada, and we are expanding our physical footprint to build a sustainable foundation for growth. Our current cash position allows us to continue our operations, service debenture interest obligations and fund our capital needs. We are confident that we will achieve significant growth in 2020, driven by our expanded cannabis production in Nevada, our near-term entry into the California market, increased distribution into new markets for our Canna Hemp™ line and the development of products in support of our licensing agreements.”

AMA is growing 26 strain varieties as well as 12 Cannabis Cup winning strains from the Company’s licensing partner, OG DNA Genetics, while also conducting R&D and pheno-hunting before introducing a specific variety.

Mr. Rebentisch remarked, “We learned a lot from our first harvest in the new facility, taking the time to adjust and perfect our automated systems, calibrating the optimal water and nutrient distribution to our plants, and ensuring the ideal drying process in order to promote the genetic potential of the flowers. Our craft cannabis processes of hand trimming and curing, with no chemical protection utilized in our indoor grow, differentiates our products in the market and provides our consumers with premium quality, safe cannabis products in a wide range of product formats.”
