VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2022 / 1933 Industries Inc. (the "Company" or "1933 Industries") (CSE:TGIF)(OTCQB:TGIFF), a Nevada-focused cannabis consumer packaged goods company, is pleased to announce its third quarter ("Q3 2022") financial results for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2022. All amounts expressed are in Canadian dollars.
Financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Detailed information regarding the Company's financial results as well as management's discussion and analysis can be found at https://sedar.com/ and https://1933industries.com/investors/financial-information
During fiscal 2022, the Company made substantial changes to its cultivation and production facilities which have resulted in significant improvements in the quality of its flower and the input for its extracted products, as well as higher productivity and quantity of units sold. These changes have led the Company to achieve higher revenues compared to its previous quarter and have laid the foundation for improved performance going forward. The Company's cannabis cultivation subsidiary recorded a 33% increase in revenues from the sale of cannabis flower, pre-rolls and extraction products due to the optimization of both its cultivation and processing facilities. Output from its cultivation has been drastically increasing and yield has almost doubled from a year ago. The Company deployed strategic capital to make the necessary improvements and hired operations and sales leadership, which have resulted in improved performance in both output and added self-space in dispensaries. Focus was also placed on reducing the cost of goods, which in turn increased gross margins.
The Company and Day One Beverages, Inc. (Day One) mutually agreed to terminate the binding Letter of Intent between the parties for the Company to acquire 100% of all of the authorized and issued shares of Day One. After a full due diligence review, the parties mutually agreed that it would be in their best interests to not move forward with acquisition. Under the terms of the mutual termination, Day One repaid all funds provided by the Company via interim loans of approximately USD$500,000.

Q3 2022 CONSOLIDATED OPERATING FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Total revenues were $4.3 million for Q3 2022 and $3.4 million for Q3 2021. The increase in revenues for the quarter as compared to Q3 2021 was primarily due to an increase in the Company's cultivation subsidiary, Alternative Medicine Association (AMA) revenues as cannabis sales begin to normalize to pre-pandemic levels with the full return of tourism to the state of Nevada.
Expenses were $13.7 million for Q3 2022 and $1.9 million for Q3 2021. The increase in expenses is due to a one-time, non-cash goodwill impairment expense of $11,472,845 (USD$8,968,766) related to the Company's Infused MFG (Infused) subsidiary. Without the impairment, expenses were $2.2 million compared to $2.4 million in Q2, 2022. Higher expenses are also attributed to an increase in cannabis transferred to production, which increased taxes payable to the state of Nevada related to AMA. License fees, taxes, and insurance were $1,080,836, compared to $208,321 during Q3 2021. Sales of Infused CBD products remain soft and have not recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gross margin was $2.0 million or 47% for Q3 2022 and $2.5 million or 73% for Q3 2021. The decrease in gross margin percentage from the prior year is due to refinements to the Company's inventory estimates which has resulted in the reclassification of certain costs from inventory to cost of sales.
General and administration expenses were $447,021, compared to $413,114 during Q3 2021. This increase above the prior year is primarily driven by higher advertising, promotion and selling costs as the Company began to normalize cannabis sales to pre-pandemic levels with the return of full tourism to the state of Nevada. Offsetting this increase was a decrease in investor relations, travel and entertainment and office expenses. The Company continues to make strategic cost reductions. It is the priority of the Company's executive management to continue to reduce costs, with the goal of reaching consistent profitability in the near future.
Net loss from continuing operations was $11.7 million for Q3 2022 and a net income from continuing operations of $0.6 million for Q3 2021 due the non-cash goodwill impairment expense related to Infused.
Adjusted EBITDA was $0.3 million for Q3 2022 and an adjusted EBITDA of $1.4 million for Q3 2021.
Q3 2022 KEY DEVELOPMENTS
The Company announced the resignation of Mr. Mark Baynes from its Board of Directors and the appointment of Mr. Ranson K. Shepherd as a director of the Company.
The Company announced the sale of Nevada real estate assets for total net proceeds of USD$1.27 million. The Company completed the sale of two parcels consisting of 2.78 acres of M1 zoned land, located in Las Vegas. The Company originally purchased the lots for USD$835,000 in 2017. Proceeds from the sale will be used for general working capital.
In connection with the transaction with Day One, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement") where the Company agreed to loan up to USD$500,000 through a line of credit. The line of credit was non-interest bearing until January 31, 2022. Subsequent to January 31, 2022, any borrowing will accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum until paid in full. Any principal together with all accrued interest and fees thereon, was due and payable on or before December 31, 2022. Up until the principal, together with all accrued interest and fees thereon, is paid back in full, the Company had an absolute right to convert any or all of the principal balance, and any accrued amounts of interest and fees thereon, into shares of common stock of borrower. Such conversion to equity shall be based upon borrower's valuation of USD$4,500,000.
The Company issued 372,666 common shares pursuant to the conversion of $32,000 of convertible debentures and interest payable on the convertible debentures of $5,267.
DEVELOPMENTS SUBSEQUENT TO APRIL 30, 2022
As a result of the termination of the Day One transaction, the Loan Agreement was also terminated. Pursuant to the termination, the loan receivable plus accrued interest in the amount of USD$480,515 was due and payable in full on or before June 30, 2022 (the "Loan Repayment"). In addition, on or before June 9, 2022, the Company was to be reimbursed for costs incurred of USD$30,052. On June 28, 2022, the Company received the Loan Repayment and reimbursement for costs incurred.
