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:
- 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,
- 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.
