Brian Athaide, CEO of TGOD.  “Our products have now proven their appeal to consumers and shown consistency and efficacy backed by scientific research.  We look forward to expanding our portfolio with additional flower strains and variants of our 2.0 line-up and bringing them to more stores across the country.” added Athaide.

  • Quarterly revenue of $4.83 million consisting of sales from cannabis products in Canada of $2.72 million and hemp-derived product sales in Europe of $2.11 million.
  • The 309% quarter over quarter increase in revenue from Canada can be attributed to expanded distribution due to processing capacity and launches of several new product lines, notably organic vapes, RIPPLE dissolvable THC powder, and the Highly Dutch mainstream organic brand into Quebec. While revenues to date in Canada are encouraging, we are a couple of months behind growth expectations due to ramp-up challenges and some supply constraints arising from provincial listing requirements and third-party contractor issues, which are being addressed by the Company to maintain continued revenue growth.
  • Net loss of $9.8 million, a $63.7 million reduction in net loss compared to Q1-2020, which can be attributed to the $5.4 million lower loss from operations and no further impairment charges recognized during the quarter. It is also significantly lower than the Company’s operational loss for Q1-2020 which was $15.26 million.
  • Cash used in operations of negative $8.2 million, compared to negative $13 million in Q1-2020, reflecting the contributions from increased sales and the significant reduction in general and administrative costs.
  • Global general and administrative expenses decreased by $4.08 million or 42% to $5.7 million quarter over quarter, reflecting part of the Company’s progress towards becoming more agile and adaptive to dynamic market conditions. This decrease is primarily driven by the simplification of the Company’s organizational structure and reductions in personnel costs and external consultants. Management continues to right-size its G&A costs in line with Company’s operating plans.
  • During the quarter, the Company secured additional financing, closing a transaction with gross proceeds of $23 million of new equity, $18 million of term debt, and a $17 million revolving operating facility.
  • On May 25, 2020, the Company sold its interest in Epican Medicinals Limited, given its history of operating losses, recent economic developments in Jamaica restricting operations and the Company’s strategic decision to no longer pursue opportunities in Jamaica and focus on Canadian operations.
  • On May 7, 2020, the Company announced that it received Health Canada’s approval for the main hybrid greenhouse at its Valleyfield Facility. The licence amendment is valid until June 8, 2021 and is subject to customary terms and conditions.
  • On May 19, 2020, the Company signed a supply agreement with Medical Cannabis by Shoppers™ (“Shoppers”), a subsidiary of Shoppers Drug Mart Inc., making its certified organic medical cannabis products available via the Shoppers online medical cannabis sales platform.
  • On May 21, 2020, under its main TGOD brand, the Company launched the Unite Organic vape cartridge for medical patients and made its first recreational shipment to the OCS on May 25, 2020.
  • On May 25, 2020, the Company launched cannabis-infused teas in Quebec under the TGOD Organics brand with two SKUs – Happy Hibiscus Maté THC and Happy Hibiscus Maté THC/CBD. These teas leverage the same fast-acting technology used in RIPPLE products.
  • On May 26, 2020, the Company delivered on its commitment to broaden its customer base by adding a mainstream brand to its portfolio – Highly Dutch. Quebec is the first province where TGOD has deployed its dual branding strategy with the successful launch of a one-ounce format (28 grams) of its Highly Dutch Rotterdam OG Indica.
  • On June 15, 2020, the Company announced that it had expanded its exclusive licensing agreement with Colorado-based 5071 Inc, for its Stillwater Brands products (“Stillwater”), it will be rolling out the powerful RIPPLE suite of products in Canada, including RIPPLE Gummies and RIPPLE QuickSticks. Leveraging Stillwater’s proprietary technology, TGOD launched its first Cannabis 2.0 product at the end of March – TGOD Infuser 10mg THC – which quickly became one of the top selling SKUs within the beverage category across the country. Given the success of this first product, TGOD has decided to expand the series by introducing additional formats. Moving forward, all formats will fall under the well-established RIPPLE brand name.
  • On July 10, 2020, the Company announced that its Hamilton facility had obtained a European Union Good Manufacturing Practice (“EU-GMP”) certificate enabling it to commence exports to Germany. Under this EU-GMP certificate, valid until December 31, 2020, TGOD can commence exporting its premium certified organic products for validation in preparation for commercialization in 2021. The Company anticipates validation will be completed by the end of the year, subsequently enabling export of medical cannabis products for commercial purposes to Europe and other jurisdictions.
  • The Company continues to monitor and adapt to changing market conditions including but not limited to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. TGOD has implemented precautionary measures across its facilities to ensure the safety of the staff and product, including limiting visits to essential personnel only, ensuring proper protocols around sanitation, mask usage and physical distancing, and ensuring potentially exposed employees remain in self-quarantine for the appropriate period. However, cultivation is continuing and additional licensed space available in the processing centre allows for better physical distancing among the cultivation and processing teams.
