Today's podcast overview/transcript

Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com "Potcast" featuring cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts

In today’s podcast we look at a few early announcements.

Waterloo Brewing Ltd. (TSX: WBR), Ontario's first Craft Brewery, announced financial results for the second quarter ended July 28, 2019. Waterloo Brewing reported EBITDA of $3.6 million on net revenue of $17.0 million.

"We are extremely pleased with our overall second-quarter results.  The incremental investment in our brands resulted in strong volume growth, enhanced revenue, margin expansion, and improved EBITDA performance.  Despite the 3.4% drop in overall Ontario beer industry volume, the Laker family grew 12% and our summer-themed brands LandShark® and Margaritaville® grew 14%,`` commented George Croft, President, and Chief Executive Officer.

"Our warehouse expansion, cannabis-infused beverage facility, non-alcoholic beer equipment, and new Small Batch Brewhouse / Taphouse are all on schedule and on budget.  We are unbelievably excited about the impacts that these projects will bring to the organization in terms of new capacity, new capabilities, and product innovation", commented Russell Tabata, Chief Operating Officer.

Solid top-line revenue growth of 5.8% delivered positive margin recovery in the second quarter.  Despite the negative pressure caused by competitive pricing and increased taxes, margins have returned to a plus 30% level. "Co-pack continues to be a strong and healthy part of the business and continues to generate incremental cash flow. YTD the business has grown 9.7% and we expect strong growth for the balance of the year," commented George Croft.

Waterloo Brewing's board of directors has approved the quarterly dividend at $0.025/share.  The dividend is payable on October 30, 2019, to shareholders of record as of October 16, 2019.

Aphria Inc. (TSX: APHA) (NYSE: APHA) and TruTrace Technologies Inc. (CSE: TTT) (OTCQB: TTTSF) today announced that Aphria has joined Phase 2 of the Shoppers Drug Mart medical cannabis verification pilot program. The blockchain-secured Pilot Program is specifically designed to increase transparency, interoperability and product identification within the medical cannabis industry.

The Pilot Program uses TruTrace's StrainSecure™ technology as a central hub for identity management, asset tracking, validation, and product authentication. StrainSecure also serves as a master registry for standardized testing, product verification, and quality assurance.
  
"We are thrilled to partner with Shoppers Drug Mart and TruTrace Technologies to increase transparency within the medical cannabis industry," said Irwin D. Simon. "At Aphria Inc., we take responsibility to heart and recognize the importance of standardized testing and quality assurance. This program reflects our ongoing commitment to protecting the health and safety of our patients."

Shoppers recently announced the successful completion of Phase 1 of the Pilot Program and the addition of Deloitte Canada LLP in a project management and advisory role to execute Phase 2. Full production and implementation is targeted for late November 2019.

"The participation of a major licensed producer like Aphria, with their expertise and dedication to medical patients, is essential to the success of the Pilot Program," said TruTrace Technologies CEO Robert Galarza. "Together we are working to develop a unified approach to medical cannabis standards that will help ensure full traceability and consistent patient outcomes."

Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. (CSE: PVOT) (OTCQB: PVOTF) announced that it has entered into a binding letter of intent to acquire 51% of iAmHealth, an online nutraceutical distribution and sales platform serving the EU market.

The strategic acquisition of iAmHealth (https://www.iam.health) will provide Pivot with an immediate online store and virtual footprint for its product portfolio of water soluble, shelf stable and advanced bioavailable CBD formulations. Pivot and iAmHealth will together focus on CBD related products and on products using micelle technology for vitamin supplements, power drinks, other nutraceutical products, and products supporting cancer patients during radiation and chemotherapy, tapping into the fast-growing nutraceutical market in key European markets. iAmHealth products have been tested and used in associated doctor and physiotherapist practices prior to commercial launch.
Key Highlights :
     Initial Pivot presence in three key European markets – Germany, Czech Republic and Slovakia.
     Pivot's CBD products to be introduced as key addition to the retailer's nutraceutical products category, to support sales and brand awareness.
     Accelerates Pivot's multi-channel brand distribution strategy targeting the European CBD, nutraceutical and wellness markets.

Dr. Toni Rinow, CEO of Pivot Pharmaceuticals comments: "Pivot will be put on a path of accelerated revenue growth and global expansion in key cannabis markets in Canada, United States, and the European Union to become a cannabis leader in the pharmaceutical, OTC, nutraceutical and wellness markets."

EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW) announced that the Company has received a second 10kW Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) equipment purchase order from Ashgrove Cheese Ltd Pty (“Ashgrove”), a diversified, family-owned Australian dairy processor based in Northern Tasmania.

In May 2017, Ashgrove secured a license from EnWave for the exclusive right to use REV™ technology to process dried snack cheese products for direct retail distribution in Australia. In exchange for this exclusivity, Ashgrove has agreed to pay EnWave a 5% royalty on the wholesale price of all REV™-dried products sold.

Ashgrove’s successful development and launch of their Amazeballs cheese snack product stimulated this second purchase order. Amazeballs is the first Australian made dehydrated cheese snack. It’s crafted from the Ashgrove Farm milk supply and was a way for our consumers to get the protein and nutrients they need in an easy-to-eat dairy format. Amazeballs is currently available broadly in the Australian grocery market ecosystem in six distinct flavours – Cheddar, Havarti, Pizza Supreme, Apple Cider Vinegar and Chive, Sweet Chili and Sour Cream and Salted Caramel.

EnWave is a Vancouver-based advanced technology company that has developed Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) – an innovative, proprietary method for the precise dehydration of organic materials. EnWave has further developed patent-pending methods for uniformly drying and decontaminating cannabis through the use of REV™ technology, shortening the time from harvest to marketable cannabis products.

REV™ technology’s commercial viability has been demonstrated and is growing rapidly across several market verticals in the food, and pharmaceutical sectors including legal cannabis.

EnWave has introduced REV™ as a disruptive dehydration platform in the food and cannabis sectors: faster and cheaper than freeze drying, with better end product quality than air drying or spray drying. EnWave currently offers two distinct commercial REV™ platforms:
  1. nutraREV® which is a drum-based system that dehydrates organic materials quickly and at low-cost, while maintaining high levels of nutrition, taste, texture and colour; and,

  2. quantaREV® which is a tray-based system used for continuous, high-volume low-temperature drying.
Enwave was also recently added to the Cannabis ETF (NYSE:THCX) and discussed in our own Inverstorideas interview with Matt Markiewicz which you can listen to here.
