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 will be looking at a few public and private company announcements.

 

One World Pharma Inc. (OTC: OWPC), a U.S. based, fully licensed, pure-play hemp and cannabis ingredient producer in Colombia, announced an agreement with ISIAH International, LLC, the holding company of its CEO, Isiah Thomas, to invest $3 million into One World Pharma, Inc.

 

The $3 million investment will fund the expansion of farm operations, additional certifications for THC seeds already approved by the government of Colombia, Global GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) certification and the build-out of a GMP certified state-of-the-art THC/CBD extraction facility. The investment will be made in installments over six months, with the first tranche of $250,000 having already been funded.  The farm expansion through this funding is expected to allow One World Pharma to significantly increase revenue in the second quarter of 2021 through the increased sale of seeds, newly approved cuttings, and extracted oil. 

 

Isiah Thomas makes this substantial financial commitment through ISIAH International based on his belief in the bright future of the global cannabis market, which leading research firms assert will reach $47 billion in annual sales by 2025.  ISIAH International is a holding company with interests in a diversified portfolio of companies. Wholly owned by Chief Executive Officer Isiah Thomas, ISIAH International invests in companies with strong market positions and growth potential. 

 

“We could not be more thrilled. When Isiah Thomas assumed the role of CEO he lent us his good name and his world-renowned leadership and business acumen. Today, he provides the funding for the Company to truly execute on its plan to become a leading international supplier of the finest cannabis ingredients,” stated Dr. Kenneth Perego, OWP’s Executive Chairman.

 

Isiah Thomas, on behalf of ISIAH International, stated, “After extensive analysis of Colombia, the world market and these most recent developments at the Company, I passionately believe there is a tremendous opportunity to build a world class, valuable, environmentally and socially conscious company that is a significant player in the global cannabis and industrial hemp industries. There are few, if any, reliable, industrial scale, global supply chain companies in this space and we intend to be one.  I am pleased to initiate this next chapter of growth.”

 

Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NASDAQ: CGC) today announced its financial results for the third quarter fiscal 2021 ended December 31, 2020. All financial information in this press release is reported in millions of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

 

“We delivered another quarter of record net revenue, with growth across all our businesses, led by improved commercial and supply chain execution," said David Klein, CEO. "We are building a track record of winning in our core markets, while also accelerating our U.S. growth strategy with the momentum building behind the promising cannabis reform in the U.S."

 

"We are executing against our cost savings program, with several initiatives already completed and more underway to build a leaner and more agile business," added Mike Lee, CFO. "These cost savings, along with our top-line growth and continued cost discipline, puts Canopy firmly on a path to achieve profitability during Fiscal 2022, with further improvement anticipated beyond."

 

Medium-Term Financial Milestones

With their new strategy in place, their organizational changes complete, and their operational cost savings program now underway, the Company is in position to establish the following medium-term financial targets:

       Net revenue CAGR of 40%-50% from FY 2022 to FY 2024;

       Positive Adjusted EBITDA during the second half of FY 2022 and 20% Adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year FY 2024; and

       Positive operating cash flow for the full year FY 2023 and positive free cash flow for the full year FY 2024.

 

The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTC: TGODF), a leading producer of premium certified organically grown cannabis, today announced preliminary unaudited revenue for fourth quarter 2020 and provided an update to the previously provided twelve-month Canadian revenue forecast for the period November 1, 2020 to October 31, 2021, as disclosed in the shelf prospectus dated November 27, 2020 (the "Prospectus Forecast").

 

Preliminary and unaudited consolidated gross revenue for the fourth quarter 2020 is expected to be approximately $10.9 million, reflecting growth of 235% over the prior year, and an increase of 91% over the third quarter of 2020.  This reflects the significant progress and growth achieved in Canadian operations and sales, which accounted for $8.6 million of the fourth quarter 2020 gross revenue total.

 

"Our increase in revenue reflects the collective efforts of the TGOD team, resulting in improvements in the quality of our flower which is being well received by the market," said Sean Bovingdon, CFO and Interim CEO of TGOD. "We are also encouraged by the traction we are gaining with our Highly Dutch flower and hash, and look to continue expanding distribution of these along with new premium flower strains and 2.0 product offerings, though we are monitoring the effects that the COVID crisis is having on this progress."

 

While the revenues achieved for the fourth quarter were encouraging, the Company continues to assess the economic climate post year-end, specifically with many provincial governments imposing lockdowns and stay-at-home orders due to COVID-19, and some revising listing mandates. The Company believes these measures will hamper the rate of revenue growth in Canada that was expected in the first half of 2021 and impact the timing of market entry for its new sativa strains and some 2.0 products.  Without these conditions, TGOD would expect to be able to meet the Prospectus Forecast, however TGOD now notes an increased risk in achieving the Prospectus Forecast of $61.5 million net sales for the period November 1, 2020 to October 31, 2021.  As such, it expects revenue to grow at a slower rate with the revised Canadian net revenue forecast for that period being in a range of $40 million to $45 million.  The Company expects that due to these changing conditions, it will not meet its previous expectation of achieving positive monthly Canadian operating cashflow by the end of Q1 2021.  Consequently, TGOD is proactively managing costs to correlate with sales activity levels and still expects to achieve positive monthly Canadian operating cashflow later in 2021.

 

Clever Leaves Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: CLVR), a leading multi-national operator and licensed producer of pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoids, announced today its branded nutraceutical manufacturer, Herbal Brands, has entered into a strategic partnership with the LooperGroup and TruSource Hemp Group (“TruSource”), a leading provider of services for the hemp industry, to import the Company’s first commercial shipment of CBD into the United States. Clever Leaves´ Colombian facilities are the first and only cannabis operations in LATAM to have a Good Manufacturing Practices certification from the European Union (EU-GMP).

 

"This partnership will capitalize on both Clever Leaves’ and TruSource’s combined expertise within the hemp industry, resulting in significant access to high quality grade CBD products for the U.S. marketplace,” said Kyle Detwiler, CEO of Clever Leaves. The CBD industry is estimated to reach $20 billion by 20241, and the Company expects this U.S.-based strategic partnership to unlock opportunities to provide high quality, cost-effective raw materials for the U.S. market.”

 

“TruSource offers Clever Leaves the deployment expertise for an important new market, enabling our company to import its first commercial shipment of CBD into the U.S.” he added.

“The partnership between Clever Leaves, TruSource, and the LooperGroup is a powerful alliance. Clever Leaves’ expertise in large-scale cultivation, evolving formulations, and industry innovation will provide U.S. hemp commercial customers with access to an unprecedented, vertically integrated supply of CBD isolate, extracts and finished solutions,” said D. Williams, TruSource Hemp Group’s President & CEO.

 

AndrĂ©s Fajardo, President of Clever Leaves, said, “Our efforts are aimed toward manufacturing products of the highest quality. To that end, we operate under rigorous international pharmaceutical-grade quality standards. Thus far, our products have been widely accepted in more than 15 different countries across five continents.”

He added, “This partnership enables our Herbal Brands business, which currently has access to more than 10,000 retail distribution points in the U.S., to manage every aspect of our CBD topical product development from 'seed to consumer' and allows us to provide the highest quality CBD products to the U.S. market."

 

This first shipment successfully cleared customs in the United States in Q1 of 2021.

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 will be looking at a few public and private company announcements.

 

Village Farms International, Inc. (NASDAQ: VFF) (TSX: VFF) today announced that it has repaid in full the C$19.9 million (approximately US$15.6 million) promissory note, plus accrued interest of C$621,534.25 (approximately US$486,849.78), that it originally issued to Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc. as partial consideration for the November 2020 acquisition from Emerald of the 36,958,500 common shares of Pure Sunfarms Corp. that Village Farms did not own.  Village Farms no longer owes any amounts to Emerald with respect to the Pure Sunfarms Transaction.

 

Village Farms also announced that it has exercised a portion of its option to make an additional equity investment in Altum International, one of the Asia-Pacific's leading cannabinoid platforms, increasing the Company's equity ownership in Altum to just under 10% from 6.6%.

"The Altum team is making strong, steady progress on the execution of its business plan and we are pleased to be able to increase our equity stake in the company on similar terms to that our of original investment," said Michael DeGiglio, CEO, Village Farms International.

 

"Our international cannabis/CBD strategy is to target select emerging markets with significant long-term potential through partnerships with local experts who are early movers in their respective regions. Our investment in Altum represents a capital efficient means by which to participate in the significant opportunity in the Asia-Pacific region, which represents approximately one-third of the world's GDP1."

 

Village Farms continues to retain the remaining portion of the option that it did not exercise, which offers the Company the ability to further increase its ownership in Altum in the future on similar terms to its original investment. Village Farms made its original investment in Altum in August 2020.

 

Water Ways Technologies Inc. (TSXV: WWT) announced that it has received its fifth commercial and first international order for its Medical Cannabis IOT Irrigation and fertilization system.

The order was received through a greenhouse integrator who is building the complete facility.

 

The system is an Internet of Things ("IOT") controlled irrigation and fertilization system for Cannabis cultivators and growers. Water Ways believes the system is one of the first in the world that was designed for the specific needs of Cannabis growers and cultivators worldwide. The Company expects to deliver and install the system by the end of May 2021.

The system was developed in Israel by the Company's engineers using the Company's unique knowhow gained in the irrigation industry and tailored specifically to the Client's specific needs.

We will continue to focus our efforts on selling similar systems around the world."

 

HEXO Corp (TSX: HEXO) (NYSE: HEXO) announced today that it has appointed Charles Bowman as General Manager of its US operations, effective immediately.

 

“Charlie's extensive experience in commercial growth and operations will be instrumental as we continue to expand our footprint in the US. We are excited to bring such established leadership to the team as we ramp up to support the growth initiatives of Truss CBD USA, our joint venture with Molson Coors, and for potential non-beverage CPG partners with whom we are in ongoing discussions,” said HEXO CEO and co-founder Sebastien St-Louis.

Nugg Club, the nation's first true cannabis subscription box featuring full-sized products curated by experts and personalized to each customer, announced today the launch of Schedule 1, a new cannabis brand that seeks to provide instrumental support towards the mission of declassifying marijuana as a controlled substance by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). Specifically, proceeds from Schedule 1 will be donated to lobbying efforts that seek to reclassify marijuana, and to Last Prisoner Project to free individuals in prison on non-violent cannabis charges who are serving jail because of marijuana being defined as a Schedule I drug.

 

The Controlled Substances Act (CSA) places all substances which are in some manner regulated under existing federal law into one of five schedules. Drugs like marijuana, opioids and heroin are classified as Schedule I drugs and are defined as those with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. They also carry heavy penalties and jail time, sometimes mandatory, in the criminal justice system.

 

Yet, according to the Marijuana Policy Project there are over 4.3 million patients in the U.S. who rely on cannabis to ease the symptoms caused by myriad conditions, from cancer to post traumatic stress disorder and epilepsy. In fact, the U.S. already has patents on cannabinoids, including THC, based on their ability to prevent age-related brain damage and trauma.

 

While some bills have supported rescheduling cannabis to a less harsh category, state-legal cannabis businesses would still be unprotected from federal prosecution. Rescheduling also wouldn't protect private citizens from arrest. Nugg Club aims to have Schedule 1 create a self-sustaining platform that supports removing cannabis from the list of controlled substances and helps to free people incarcerated for nonviolent marijuana crimes due to federal scheduling.

 

"The federal Controlled Substances Act was written more than half a century ago and is based on flawed, unscientific and extremely outdated data. Cannabis is now commonly used to successfully treat intractable seizures, cachexia, chronic debilitating pain and many other life-threatening disorders. It's proven its utility within the medical community, yet it's still classified as Schedule I," said Joe Brottman, Creative Director of Nugg Club. "We're launching Schedule 1 to not only increase awareness but provide instrumental support to the mission to end the prison state."

 

At launch, Schedule 1 will include three flower strains available in Nugg Club subscription boxes and online for members to purchase via the Nugg Club add-ons menu. The strains include:

       Mimosa: This sativa-dominant strain is a cross between Purple Punch and Clementine. A daytime pick-me-up, Mimosa is great for chasing sleep away, relieving stress and sparking creativity. Its mood-boosting terpenes, limonene and beta caryophyllene, make for a zesty experience that tapers off gradually.

       MAC 1: Directly sourced by legacy-grower Capulator, MAC 1 is a smooth hybrid strain with impressive plant parents — Alien Cookies crossed with Starfighter and a Columbian landrace (aka Miracle 15). Connoisseurs can trace spice, diesel, and sour citrus in the strain's pungent aromas.

       Sunset Cookies: A proprietary phenotype sourced from Thin Mint Cookies and Sherbet genetics, Sunset Cookies is carefully bred in Coachella Valley to produce a mellow hybrid boasting with notes of fruity blueberry and lavender citrus. Sunset Cookies provides a super sweet balance between hazy and clear-headed effects.

 

The launch of Schedule 1 follows the company's recent announcement of a more broad-ranging partnership with Last Prisoner Project. This month, Nugg Club will be sending a special box to subscribers that is rebranded to showcase the names of people imprisoned across the country for nonviolent cannabis offenses. Products in the February box will feature brands that specifically support social justice work, including Schedule 1. The box will also include a call to action for Nugg Club members to participate in LPP's "Letter to a Prisoner'' program and donate to the organization.

 

"We're at a unique turning point in history. It's become clear that if we want to deschedule cannabis, it's going to be up to us. We already have one-third of our population living in states that allow legal recreational marijuana. Yet we still have prisoners serving life sentences for weed--some for tiny amounts," said Erik Murray, Last Prisoner Project Board Member. "Last Prisoner Project is proud to partner with Nugg Club at the launch of Schedule 1 so we can push for change in Congress and make sure our prisoners come home in the process."
