CALGARY, AB, April 1, 2024 /CNW/ - CanadaBis Capital Inc. (the
"Company" or "CanadaBis") (TSXV: CANB), a premium vertically
integrated Canadian cannabis company, is pleased to announce
results from our second quarter fiscal 2024, represented by our tenth
consecutive quarter generating net revenue. The Company's Financial
Statements and Notes, as well as Management's Discussion and
Analysis ("MD&A") are filed on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca.
This quarter reflects another period generating positive earnings and
Adjusted EBITDA1 for CanadaBis, despite a 26% decrease in gross
revenue over the same period the prior year due to increased
competition in the market, and the resultant price compression. In
response, the Company has allocated capital to innovation designed
to remain ahead of competitors and to expand the SKU offering by
adding multiple new products for future release. To support the
Company's product enhancement initiatives, we have adjusted our
strategy to increase brand awareness and capture market share
through an extensive nation-wide campaign designed to equip
retailers with enhanced awareness of the various SKUs, programs
and educational value-adds to CanadaBis' wide variety of high-quality,
lower-cost products. While such investments can have an impact on
results in the immediate quarters, reinvesting in the business is critical
to support the Company's top and bottom line over the longer-term.
Stigma Grow continues to re-formulate concentrate lines to meet
demands from current clients to maintain larger terpene and
cannabinoid profiles across the product offerings while also earning
repeat sales. With these ongoing improvements, coupled with demand
for our award-winning Infused Pre-rolls, Electric Dartz, Live Rosin
Vapes and High-CBD Cartridges, CanadaBis anticipates continued
positive performance in Fiscal 2024, while maintaining prudent
financial management.
"Building on momentum realized in Q1 2024, I am proud to report that
our second fiscal quarter represents another period of positive net
revenue, earnings and adjusted EBITDA, reflecting our resilience
despite a significant increase in competition and meaningful price
compression as cultivators and processors reposition themselves in
the market," said Travis McIntyre, CEO of CanadaBis. "Both in fiscal
Q2 and Q3 2024, we are directing investment to enhance our product
offering, while also launching a comprehensive nation-wide retail-
focused marketing campaign that leverages existing brand
awareness. Our goal is to increase the profile of established brands
while supporting the introduction of at least 17 exciting new SKUs that
we anticipate will increase sales in subsequent quarters. With our
unique capabilities and consumer-centric value proposition, the
Company has earned brand loyalty that positions us well to drive
continued shareholder value creation in an industry rife with
competition and continued regulatory challenges."
Q2 2024 HIGHLIGHTS
dot Major Growth in Cultivation and Wholesale Segment Net
revenue from the Cultivation and Wholesale segment for Q2
2024 was $0.7 million compared to $0.03 million for the
corresponding period in 2023, representing over 2000% growth.
Several specialized SKU launches in the provinces contributed
to this increase, including the Super Slim Cigarette Style Pre-roll
and milled flower, positioning CanadaBis in a niche category of
providing high quality, yet affordable, products. This new product
is expected to increase sales throughout fiscal 2024, along with
new dry flower brands and yet-to-be released SKUs. For the six
months ended January 31, 2024, net revenue in the segment
increased to $1.5 million from $0.07 million in the corresponding
period of 2023.
dot New Products Remain Critical to Continued Success - In
tandem with enhanced marketing efforts focused on increasing
awareness of the Dab Bods brand, the Company intends to
introduce a minimum of 17 new SKUs to the market through the
coming quarters. Leveraging the Company's existing brands and
unique products, such as our infused and non-infused Super
Slim Cigarette Style Pre-Rolls, the "Electric Dartz", affords a
stable platform on which to launch exciting new brands and
SKUs.
dot Continued Profitability - Adjusted EBITDA1 totaled
approximately $0.5 million, while net income totaled $0.11 million
after tax in Q2 2024, representing the tenth consecutive quarter
of profitability.
dot Cost Management Remains a Sharp Focus - The Company
continued to actively manage input expenses and inflationary
pressures through negotiations and economies of scale,
securing cost savings while increasing operational efficiencies
and expanding yields in cultivation and extraction. Cost
management plans remain in focus, along with initiatives
designed to increase efficiencies, improve cash flow and
enhance liquidity.

OUTLOOK
With ongoing year-over-year profitability and cost controls realized to
date in Q2 2024, CanadaBis has set the stage to continue delivering
positive results by capitalizing on the budding cultivation and
wholesale segment, while reinvesting to refresh extract brands and
effectively navigate a rapidly evolving, and highly
competitive cannabis industry.
The Company has established several competitive advantages to
ensure long-term success, which will be leveraged in the ongoing
marketing campaign, including offering top-quality extracts derived
through our butane hydrocarbon (BHO) extraction process, first of a
kind Infused Pre-Rolls and Super Slim Cigarette Style Electric Dartz
Pre-Rolls. Investment in new formulations that can meet demand and
support the diversification of the Company's product offerings
increased in the current quarter, while rising demand from Manitoba
for both new and existing products has broadened the market. The
Company is pleased to confirm that Dab Bod and High Priestess
products continue to attract greater market share reflecting the
success of our ongoing marketing efforts.
As a vertically integrated cannabis organization, the Company brings
unique insights and the ability to respond swiftly to external factors
that may impact selling prices, input costs or shifting customer
demands. With an unwavering commitment to strategic capital
management, the extensive CanadaBis portfolio will represent a
platform on which to support future growth. The Company intends to
allocate capital to further develop innovative products that optimally
align with consumer preferences, while ensuring strong brand
recognition in order to capture increased market share.
The Company remains committed to shareholder value creation, by
actively pursuing growth opportunities; remaining agile to react swiftly
within a volatile cannabis market; and consistently striving to improve
quality and operational standards. CanadaBis looks forward to sharing
further updates on our continued progress and success during the
second half of 2024, and appreciates the support of all shareholders,
the Board of Directors and dedicated employees.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Non-GAAP Measures
This news release contains the financial performance metric of
Adjusted EBITDA, a measure that is not recognized or defined under
IFRS (a "Non-GAAP Measure"). As a result, this data may not be
comparable to data presented by other cannabis companies. For an
explanation and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to related
comparable financial information presented in the Financial
Statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, refer to the MD&A for
the three months ended October 31, 2023. The Company believes
that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of operational performance
and is specifically used by management to assess the financial and
operational performance of the Company.
Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of the Company's financial
performance. It is intended to provide a proxy for the Company's
operating cash flow and is widely used by industry analysts to
compare CanadaBis to its competitors and derive expectations of
future financial performance of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA
increases comparability between comparative companies by
eliminating variability resulting from differences in capital structures,
management decisions related to resource allocation, and the impact
of fair value adjustments on biological assets, inventory, and financial
instruments, which may be volatile on a period-to-period basis.
Adjusted EBTIDA is not a recognized, defined, or standardized
measure under IFRS. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA as
net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) excluding
changes in fair value of biological assets, change in fair value of
biological assets realized through inventory sold, depreciation and
amortization expense, share-based payments, and finance costs.
