Nextleaf Provides Corporate Update and Comments on Year End Financials

 

VANCOUVER, BC, February 1, 2022 - Nextleaf Solutions Ltd. (“Nextleaf”, “OILS”, or the “Company”) (CSE: OILS) (OTCQB: OILFF) (FSE: L0MA), a federally regulated manufacturer and distributor of cannabis vapes and oils has released its audited annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. Nextleaf is pleased to provide a summary of key highlights and milestones achieved in 2021.
 

• Bulk cannabis distillate sales exceeded $3.00MM for the year ended September 30, 2021.
• Bulk cannabis distillate sales increased 1,300% year over year.
• Established a commercial supply partnership with a Nasdaq-listed global cannabis company, with Nextleaf supplying CBD ingredients to power the partner’s CBD products and brands, including edibles, ingestible oils, and vape carts.
• Acquired the award-winning prohibition-era brand, Glacial Gold™, and expanded into branded product manufacturing and sales.
• Launched Glacial Gold™ vapes and oils in British Columbia, with over $300,000 in product sales recognized during the first four weeks in market (September 2021).
• Established distribution of Glacial Gold™ products into three provincial markets and nationally for medical cannabis patients.
• Reduced SG&A and R&D expenditures year over year

“A significant portion of our cost of sales is related to our existing excess capacity, as such, as our revenue scales our gross profit should increase exponentially,” said Nextleaf CFO Charles Ackerman. “2021 was a significant year of graduating the business to increasingly focus on scaling commercial activity. We’ve added optionality to our revenue model with the addition of cannabis product sales to B2B bulks sales. Combining the B2C and B2B activity all drives further utilization and scale in our extraction economics which is the top of our value chain.”
 
Key Milestones Subsequent to Fiscal Year 2021

In October 2021, Nextleaf was authorized by the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority to distribute cannabis products in Saskatchewan. The Company entered into an agreement with National Cannabis Distribution Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kiaro Holdings Corp., for the sale and distribution of Glacial Gold™branded cannabis products throughout Saskatchewan.

Nextleaf entered into a distribution agreement with Medicibis (“Mendo”), a Qubec-based cannabis processor and distributor, for national distribution of Glacial Gold™products through Mendo’s national medical cannabis sales platform, www.Mendocannabis.ca.

In November 2021, the Company received acceptance of its application for a Dealer’s Licence, now formally under review by Health Canada. Assuming approval from Health Canada, the Dealer’s Licence is expected to allow the Company to conduct a variety of activities relating to psilocybin and psilocin including R&D, IP development, production of base substance materials, laboratory analysis, as well as the sale and distribution of the substances to authorized individuals, including researchers and for its use in clinical trials.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office granted Nextleaf a U.S. patent pertaining to a novel process for acetylating CBG, and subsequent refinement of CBG-O-Acetate. The Company was also granted a U.S. patent for the design of its cannabis oil refinery. Nextleaf owns 17 issued U.S. patents, and over 90 patents globally, on cannabinoid processing including extraction, distillation, and acetylation.

In December 2021, Nextleaf completed the first shipment of Glacial Gold™ vapes and oils to the Company's distribution partner in Saskatchewan for sale by cannabis retailers in that province.

Nextleaf released the most potent ingestible CBD product in the Canadian market, with Glacial Gold™ Distilled CBD 200 Oil available nationally to medical patients through Mendo, and for adult-use consumers in British Columbia.

Nextleaf was approved as a vendor and received its first purchase order from the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation to supply the Nova Scotia market with Glacial Gold™ CBD and THC products. 

The Company completed a public offering of 15,844,208 units at $0.20 per unit (the “Units”) for gross proceeds of $3,168,842 under a prospectus supplement dated December 15, 2021. Each Unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant is exercisable at price of $0.275 each for a period of 24 months until December 22, 2023.

Nextleaf’s wholly-owned subsidiary Nextleaf Labs Ltd. (“Nextleaf Labs”) onboarded and delivered initial purchase orders of high-purity THC distillate to two new licensed producers (“New Partners”). The two New Partners include a NASDAQ-listed cannabis company and an established distributor of branded cannabis vape products. Additionally, Nextleaf Labs completed a significant wholesale order for high-purity CBD distillate supplied to its existing NASDAQ-listed partner. Since late December, Nextleaf Labs has supplied more than 120 kilograms of high-purity THC and CBD distillate ingredients to its new and existing wholesale partners.

Put the bid in at. 0.135

Lots of room for growrh, even in BC. Market share numbers might be even better today. Some 120 kg of distillate sold in the last month, so more cash in hand for provincial expansion.

[Soopyspoon73]

Nextleaf got me flabbergasted 

[RyanB1234]

I am not sure what I am missing here... Based on the unaudited report, nextleaf would be look at a conservative run rate of $5-6M next year. This would be attainable by continuing a $3M tolling business and the current conservative numbers of glacial goald at $500k a quarter. this would be 100% + from today's unaudited release.  The conservative figure I just shared would not take

[Adventurous]

A 150%+ growth is fair assumption, Ryan. Plus financing is already done and hard cash starting to roll in from sales in the previous months Nextleaf had to cash managed so far. Of course there are a number of short-sighted coin flippers who borrowed money on their credit cards expecting a big bump from the release of this Q report (despite best advice) and who now need to sell quickly to pay

[RyanB1234]

Even if they landed 1 or 3 new regular tolling contracts over the year and could increase their current $3M tolling fees by 50% that would be $4.5M in tolling alone. I feel that 50% growth is ultra conservative. you can start to see how this could be a $10M+ run rate by end of next year.   

[Adventurous]

And we are already 4 months of growth and positive news past these September 30 numbers.

[TrstAph]

Look around you, cannabis stocks are having a great day and nextleaf is in the red. You all need to concede the fact even if nextleaf makes 6 mil this year, its still wont get attention from the market and will not go up significantly enough to justify parking money into it. Get out of penny stocks, they will take your money.

[stealthct]

NL was only penny stock i got into any profit i got wasn't worth my time. So glad crypto made over 600% in 2021 alone. I love large dips. ripe for accmulation. Wow. NL at 16 cents. Saw that from a mile away. 

[shneps]

Did a quick calculation also and RyanB your numbers look good. We'll leave Trst, Stealth and Stupidspoons to cry in their pudding. Doesn't bother me. I base my investments on numbers not idiots. Thanks Paul for the recap it was well done. Cheers

[Soopyspoon73]

So your gonna wait 12 years to cash out on Nextleaf why you on the board then if it's a 12 years game plan come on man your disappointed just like the rest of us let's just hope March numbers increase drastically and gross margin triple or this will be a long year and I'm guessing most of us won't be here after the summer if management and especially Charles Ackerman get this baby

[Soopyspoon73]

Honestly if nothing changes come this summer I'm definitely out and most likely holding big empty bag but oh well I guess it true sometimes somethings are just to good to be true it's was a compelling story by Paul selling this patent dream that turned out to be mostly around the machines which up to date have shown to be just like any other equipment profit margins wise the choice of His

[stealthct]

Lmao, u sure are butt hurt. May I ask what numbers you are talking about? 0?

[Adventurous]

Soopyspoon you are not credible. If you expect the share price to go to 13.5 cents, sell me right now your shares at 16 cents and eventually pocket the difference. Either you don't have any share to sell (?) or your disappointment is fake.
