ENTOURAGE HEALTH REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Entourage Health Corp. has released its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company reported total revenue of $15.1 million (net revenue of $11.8 million, before excise duties and discounts), up 24% sequentially from Q4 2022. The Company will host a conference call to discuss its financial and business highlights on Tuesday, May 30, 2023, at 10 a.m. Eastern Time.

"Over the first quarter, we noted significant growth in our medical stream representing a 61% increase compared to the previous quarter. This aligns with the escalating demand, fueled by the introduction of innovative products, a rise in new patient acquisitions, and substantial renewal rates," CEO and Executive Chairman George Scorsis affirmed. "Additionally, our pre-rolls sales in the adult-use segment witnessed a notable rise, with Color capturing approximately 5% of the pre-roll market. Our revenue growth and the successful implementation of our strategic transformation initiatives and cost improvements propel our business toward enhanced profitability. This allows us to accomplish our financial objectives and paves the way to expand our market reach and diversify our product offerings. Through this calculated approach, we are establishing a solid foundation for sustainable growth and long-term success in the cannabis market."

"Through our strategic emphasis on revenue generation from our high-performing products and our commitment to reinforcing financial discipline, we have established a strong position for future growth and fortified our balance sheet," stated Vaani Maharaj, CFO of Entourage. "As we consistently enhance operational efficiencies, optimize costs of sale, and minimize cash burn, we are well-prepared to amplify revenue growth and strengthen our financial stability. Our steadfast commitment to creating value for our stakeholders remains at the forefront of our efforts."

Financial Highlights

• For the quarter that ended March 31, 2023, Entourage recorded total revenue of $15.1 million compared to $12.1 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022, representing a 24% increase.
• Gross profit before changes in fair value was $3.0 million for Q1 2023, representing an increase in gross profit of $10.5 million compared to Q4 2022 due to improved operational efficiencies and partly due to lower inventory write-down in Q1 2023.
• Gross margins were 25% in Q1 2023 compared to (86%) for Q4 2022 and 22% in Q1 2022. The improvement in Q1 2023 over Q4 2022, resulted from increased automation in the production process of finished and semi-finished goods, resulting in lower direct labour costs.
• The cost of goods sold was reduced by $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to Q4 2022. This reduction was achieved by continued efforts to optimize our operational platform and further automation initiatives.
• Adjusted EBITDA improved by $5,890,211 to $(3,374,484) in Q1, 2023, compared with $(9,264,695) in Q4, 2022, primarily driven by strategic transformation initiatives to lower costs and partly due to generating higher-margin revenue.

Corporate Highlights During and Subsequent to First Quarter 2023

Company Update - Equity Grant

The Company is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved a one-time grant of Performance Share Units (PSUs) to certain members of the Company's management team under the Company's Amended and Restated Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. In total, the Board approved a grant of 6,200,000 PSUs, of which 5,100,000 will be granted to officers of the Company.

Earlier this year, the Board of Directors approved a cap limiting the number of Deferred Share Units (DSUs) each Director receives as part of their compensation for the 2023 year; and the reduction in Directors' DSU entitlements was intended to be used to create equity incentives for management. The PSUs will vest only if and to the extent the Company achieves certain financial objectives, as approved by the Board of Directors, in the 2023 fiscal year, thereby directly aligning management incentives with shareholders' interests.
