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 private and public company announcements.

 

Shoppers Drug Mart Inc. announced the opening of its first managed medical clinic in Toronto.  Owned and operated by Shoppers Drug Mart, the Health Clinic by Shoppers™ is a primary-care and family practice clinic, providing patients with convenient, one-stop access to medical services and trusted advice.

 

Located at Lawrence Ave. and Dufferin St., this new clinic is the first of three expected to open over the next year in the Greater Toronto Area.  Hosting a suite of family medicine services, the clinic aims to make healthcare more accessible for patients with extended operating hours and increased technology, such as online appointment booking and virtual care options through Medeo® solutions and electronic health records via the AccuroEMR® platform.

 

"We know Canadians want and need more from their primary care.  The world changed quickly and dramatically this year, highlighting the need for more accessible healthcare options for patients – whether that means extended hours and more convenient locations for in-person services, or virtual care services for all patients including those who don't currently have access to a family physician," says Jeff Leger, President, Shoppers Drug Mart.  "The Health Clinic by Shoppers combines convenience and technology in a way that is increasingly relevant to Canadians looking for health and wellness support."

 

As Shoppers Drug Mart expands its range of healthcare services, the company assembled a team of individuals with extensive experience in health clinic operations and management, and established a Physician Advisory Board to support the design and implementation of the new health clinic model.

 

"The COVID 19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on both the way Canadians access health care and on how physicians deliver primary care to their patients," says Dr. Barry McLellan of the Health Clinic by Shoppers Physician Advisory Board. "Through an enhanced experience of consistent quality of care, convenient hours, technology-enabled and virtual care services all delivered in a modern clinic space, the Health Clinic by Shoppers is uniquely positioned to provide high-quality, patient-centered healthcare to Canadians."

 

Avicanna Inc. (TSX: AVCN) (OTCQX: AVCNF) announced that its advanced RHO Phyto™ Micro Drop oils are now officially available nationwide in Canada on the Medical Cannabis by Shoppers™ platform as well as through the Medical Cannabis Real-World Evidence study at the University Health Network as announced by the Company on July 15, 2020.

 

Following years of research and development in collaboration with world class academic and clinical organizations, Avicanna is proud to be launching RHO Phyto, a full formulary of advanced medical cannabis products, for patients and the medical community in Canada.  Following the Micro Drop oils, Avicanna expects to launch two advanced sublingual spray formulations in the upcoming weeks. The RHO Phyto product line includes oil drops, sublingual sprays, capsules and topicals with varying ratios of CBD and THC. The RHO Phyto products are designed to address a range of medical conditions that may require various rates of relief. For example, the "Rapid Act" sublingual sprays provide a faster onset of effects than the "Simple Dose" capsules and "Micro Drop" oils. To ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high-quality products, these formulations are manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practices in partnership with MediPharm Labs Inc. and GMP-level analytical testing is performed by Sigma Analytical Services Inc. All RHO Phyto products will be tracked using blockchain technology developed by TruTrace Technologies Inc. to manage, track and trace each step of the supply chain.

 

Aras Azadian, CEO of Avicanna commented, "We believe that our RHO Phyto formulary is designed to address numerous gaps in the current medical cannabis framework with respect to patient needs and provide an opportunity to attract new prescribers and patients to medical cannabis solutions. The introduction of a strictly medical line of products, backed by extensive research, pre-clinical data, GMP manufacturing and offered by Shoppers, has the opportunity to set a new standard of care and establish RHO Phyto as the leading medical product line in the medical cannabis market." 

 

With the patient in mind, RHO Phyto Micro Drop oils are formulated with enhanced absorption, prolonged stability, and consistency. The blood orange flavoured Micro Drop oil 1.6 CBD - 0.06 THC and Micro Drop oil 0.6 CBD – 0.16 THC are available in a 25:1 and 4:1 CBD to THC ratio, respectively. The product name includes the amount in milligrams (mg) of CBD and THC that is delivered per dose. Detailed guidelines about dosing and titration for Health Care Practitioners and patients is available on the RHO Phyto website at www.rhophyto.com, as well as on the Avicanna Academy website at https://www.avicanna.com/the-avicanna-academy/, along with additional product information, product guidelines for patients, and frequently asked questions.

 

As a part of Avicanna's commercialization strategy, the Company will be providing education and training for HCPs, patients, and medical institutions about medical cannabis and the RHO Phyto product line. Educational materials can be found on the Avicanna Academy website at https://www.avicanna.com/the-avicanna-academy/, including a recording of Avicanna's 3rd annual symposium that was hosted virtually in partnership with Shoppers on July 21st and was live-streamed by over 1,000 participants.

 

1933 Industries Inc. (CSE: TGIF) (OTCQX: TGIFF), announced the introduction of a new line of extra strength products to its extensive wellness portfolio. The Canna Hemp™ Plus line was developed for consumers who want to experience the added benefits of increased CBD at competitive prices from a reliable and trusted brand.

 

As the health and wellness market continues to research the power of the cannabis plant, the Company's Canna Hemp™ brand is applying its expertise in utilizing cannabidiol (CBD) in a variety of formulas in order to meet the lifestyles and needs of a growing consumer base. With double the amount of CBD, the PLUS line was designed to offer competitively-priced products with some of the highest amounts of CBD found today in the marketplace.

 

"Our exciting suite of wellness products continues to grow in a number of segments and price points. Over the last three years, we have earned the trust of our consumers by offering products that are effective, reliable and contain the highest quality CBD sourced in the USA", stated Mr. Eugene Ruiz, President of 1933 Industries. 'Our best-selling topical Relief Cream and all Elixirs will launch the PLUS line today, with more products to follow over the coming months."

 

"We are also pleased to announce that we have re-priced all of our regular Canna Hemp™ products and we will be increasing the amount of CBD in the Canna Hemp™ Vape Pens, Lotions and Lip balms. As the price of CBD has come down, we are passing these savings along to our consumers", added Mr. Ruiz. "Our leading Canna Hemp ™ line will not only boast the best ingredients and most effective formulations, but also a highly competitive pricing structure for premium products. There's never been a better time to discover the many uses and benefits of hemp and CBD for both the body and mind."

 

All Canna Hemp™ products are specifically formulated with the Company's proprietary TerpFX™ blend of real cannabis-derived terpenes and organic, botanical oils. Terpenes mimic the profiles of cannabis strains without any THC. In addition to the PLUS line, the Company recently launched a line of products made with organic hemp seed oil available via online marketplaces such as Amazon.com and Walmart.com and via its direct to consumer e-commerce website cannahemp.com.

 

The Board of Directors of Province Brands of Canada, the beverage technology company that has developed a first-of-its-kind patent-pending process expected to reduce environmental impact and create beverages and other ancillary products that are less harmful for human health, announced that Jennifer Dianne Thomas, Esq. has been appointed  the company's new Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Previously, Ms. Thomas was the Province Brands' Chief Legal Officer. She is Co-Founder of Province Brands and will remain a member of its Board of Directors.

Ms. Thomas replaces Dooma Wendschuh, Co-Founder and CEO since the company was formed in 2016. Mr. Wendschuh informed the Board in December, 2019, of his intent to transition from executive leadership, and planning has been underway since. Mr. Wendschuh remains a full-time employee of Province Brands dedicated to the company's success as a co-founder.

 

"Dooma has taken Province Brands from an idea that met with widespread early resistance to the verge of market-ready launch with facilities under construction, valuable IP, a broad vision, emerging product offerings, and he will remain an important part of Province Brands' future," said Ms. Thomas. "I'm excited about the road ahead and thank Dooma and the Board for its confidence and full support."   

 

Ms. Thomas added: "I'm excited to take over as CEO of Province Brands to create and deliver new solutions and revenue streams that allow the business to grow in these challenging times. In addition to innovative thinking, the current environment in the industry and world at large presents a confluence of constrains that require risk mitigation and sound legal, financial and compliance experience that I have accumulated over my 12 years of practicing at Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP, Jones Day, and with other cannabis companies. These experiences have prepared me to lead Province Brands' to a bright future.

 

Since co-founding Province Brands four years ago, Ms. Thomas has spearheaded multiple vital strategic initiatives and partnerships, played a major role in managing the business, overseen all aspects of the company's legal and licensure strategies, and managed the company's legal and finance department.

 

"Under Jennifer's leadership, Province Brands is poised to transform the brewing industry," said Mr. Wendschuh. "There is no one better suited for the job, more highly regarded by the team, or more capable to lead this company. I've been honored to have Jennifer as a partner for the past four years and I've been thrilled to watch her succeed at every task she's undertaken. Her bold vision for the company is exciting and I'm thrilled to help her succeed."

 

Ms. Thomas for two years has represented Province Brands on the board of the Cannabis Beverage Producers Alliance. She founded the State Bar of Georgia's Cannabis and Hemp Bar Section. Prior to Co-Founding Province Brands, Ms. Thomas held roles including Corporate Associate at Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP, and Corporate Associate at Jones Day. She earned her Juris Doctor degree from Howard University School of Law and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Southern Methodist University.

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 public company announcements.

 

Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) today announced its financial results for the first quarter fiscal 2021 ended June 30, 2020.  The stock also rose by nearly $2 at the start of the day upon the release of the financial results.

 

"We're proud of our strong first-quarter performance, despite unprecedented volatility and uncertainty in the market and across the globe," said David Klein, CEO. "We grew our revenue year-over-year and are seeing market share improvement, notably achieving number one market share in cannabis-infused beverages in the Canadian market.  We are implementing a renewed corporate strategy with the appointment of a new leadership team which will focus on delivering quality products to our consumers, positioning our business for continued growth. The proposed retooled Acreage announcement refocuses our entry for the evolving U.S. market, where we are seeing increased momentum."

 

"Following our previously announced restructuring actions, we have substantially reduced our expense and cash burn in this quarter in addition to reducing headcount by over 18% since beginning of this calendar year.  Our marketing and R&D investments are being re-allocated to programs with high-return potential in order to drive sales," added Mike Lee, CFO. "Our gross margins in the quarter came in below our expectations due to under-utilization of our large-scale infrastructure. We've already proven we can deliver 40%-plus gross margin and are confident that we can return to that level as we work toward higher capacity utilization across our facilities as demand for our cannabis products continue to grow. In the meantime, we are focused on further optimizing our operating footprint through a full end-to-end strategy that looks at people, process, technology, and infrastructure that we believe will lead to best in class margins over time."

 

Khiron Life Sciences Corp. (TSXV: KHRN) (OTCQX: KHRNF) announced that it has signed a distribution deal for its KuidaTM CBD cosmeceutical brand with DNO Group, a leading distributor for the Asia Pacific market. Kuida skin and body care products will be distributed by DNO Group through their network of retail and online channels in Hong Kong, with first orders anticipated in Q4 2020. Distribution is conditional on TSXV approval.

 

"With this distribution deal we establish a significant footprint in Hong Kong for our Kuida brand and gain access to the Asian Pacific beauty and skincare market, the world's largest region for skincare products. DNO Group have a large distribution network of over 50,000 points of sales in the region, including prominent pharmacy, beauty retail and online channels that we know from experience in other jurisdictions are where our customers are choosing to purchase Kuida products. Importantly, DNO Group brings valuable insight into the Asian consumer profile, further supporting the impact of the brand roll-out in Hong Kong," comments Alvaro Torres, Khiron CEO and Director.

 

Hong Kong is a market that serves both the local population of 7.2 million and serves as an import hub for mainland China. The Hong Kong personal care and cosmetics market is experiencing robust growth with estimated revenue of US$2.7 billion achieved in 2018 and continues to expand with many beauty and personal care items considered daily necessities, as rising health awareness and image-consciousness drives demand.

 

Seven Kuida SKU's will be distributed into the Hong Kong market, with first orders anticipated in Q4 2020. This continues the Khiron strategy to target specific, high-value global CBD skincare market opportunities. Kuida is now available at over 350 points of sale in Colombia, as well as the UK and recently announced entry to Spain. Khiron was recently recognized by Technavio Research as one of the top global players in the CBD cosmetics market, alongside L'Oreal SA and The Estée Lauder Companies. Technavio is a leading global technology research and advisory company focused on emerging market trends.

 

"Kuida CBD based skincare products are well suited for consumers in Hong Kong, as well as for our portfolio and distribution capabilities. Furthermore, the efficacy of the products themselves is impressive. We expect a highly positive sales development for Kuida in Hong Kong going forward," said DNO Group's Managing Director, Ofri Shaysh.

 

The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. (TSX: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) today announced the launch of Hiway, a new brand dedicated to providing frequent cannabis consumers with affordable products that do not compromise on quality.

 

"While we continue to see a strong market for our premium 7ACRES products, we are also seeing a tremendous consumer response to more affordable cannabis offerings; in July, dried flower products priced under $6 per gram accounted for approximately 40% of flower sales in Ontario," said Beena Goldenberg, President and CEO of Supreme Cannabis. "With Hiway, we aim to exceed consumer expectations for value products by delivering a quality product at an affordable price. Hiway benefits from our strong reputation and leading practices for growing and processing high-quality cannabis products. With the launch of this value-oriented brand, we are leveraging our competencies, capacity and efficiencies to build market share and create an exceptional experience for more cannabis consumers."

 

Hiway enters the Canadian cannabis market with Hiway Hash, a 2g solventless concentrate made by compressing dry sift kief from trichome dense, whole plant hang dried cannabis. The result is a picturesque brick of blonde hash that is divided into 2g pieces and packaged with care. This high-value hash boasts aromatic notes of sour citrus, diesel and spice as well as robust lemon and pepper flavours. Hiway Hash will initially launch in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario and will quickly be available in more provinces.

 

Supreme Cannabis expects to expand Hiway's product portfolio to include large format flower, additional concentrate products, extracts and vapes. Supreme Cannabis will be promoting Hiway and its new offerings across Canada through its innovative sales partnership with Humble & Fume Inc., one of the industries premiere sales agencies.
