Schwazze (OTCQX: SHWZ) posted positive results on Thursday as the company expands in its quest to become a commanding regional MSO.

The Colorado-based seed-to-sale operator — formerly known as Medicine Man Technologies — delivered its second-quarter financial report card ending June 30, 2022.

Schwazze delivered approximately $44.3 million in total revenue during the period, a 44% gain versus the same period last year — right in line with the Yahoo Finance Average analyst estimate for revenues of $44.26 million.

The company said that the increase was due to rising sales of its products as well as revenue from its new retail acquisitions. Additionally, the company is finding profits in newly-recreational markets such as New Mexico since April.

Schwazze said that wholesale revenues in Colorado decreased due to “increased cultivation capacity in the state resulting in an over-supply of wholesale cannabis materials.”

The company also reported a net income of $33.8 million versus a net loss of $4.4 million in the same period last year. The gain is a reversal after losing $26.8 million in the previous quarter.

Diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter was $0.24 cents versus diluted earnings per share of eight cents in the same period last year — above a diluted loss per share of six cents in the previous quarter, according to SEDAR filings.

“Similar to the rest of the country, the cannabis industry in Colorado is also experiencing a slowdown in growth compared to the last couple of years,” CEO Justin Dye said. “Schwazze, however, is demonstrating that our regional strategy, built on a customer-first approach, developing significant scale, building brands, and leveraging data analytics and technology is not only sound but gaining momentum as demonstrated by revenue and unit sales growth, customer loyalty and by once again outpacing the legacy market growth by approximately 12%.

We believe this model will travel well to other states as we find attractive opportunities. Despite share price weakness driven by broader market influences, we remain bullish on our business and have conviction that as Schwazze continues to deliver superior operating results that our shareholders will be rewarded.”

Schwazze is lowering its guidance for 2022 revenue, citing “challenging Colorado market conditions.” Schwazze’s new forecasted range for revenue is $175 million$200 million, far below a range of $220 and $260 in the previous quarter. Adjusted EBITDA guidance is estimated to be $60 million$72 million, down from previous quarter expectations of $70 to $82 million profit.

“During Q2 we focused on completing integration of our acquisitions and made sure that we used our resources effectively,” said CFO Nancy Huber. “We are focused on reducing operating and SG&A expenses and judiciously investing growth capital to ensure adequate liquidity and profitability despite difficult market conditions in Colorado, which we believe to be transitory and temporary. Our balance sheet remains strong, and we have ample liquidity.”

“We are focused on delivering positive cash flow net of acquisition costs for the year while driving organic growth and making smart acquisitions,” she added.

Adjusted EBITDA was $15 million in the second quarter of 2022, versus earnings of $10 million in the same period last year.

Seeing It Through

The dialogue from leadership this quarter is one a bit more optimistic than the previous.

“As we continued our successful transformation into a Regional MSO in the first quarter of 2022, we met certain challenges, including the comparison cycling of an inflated Q1 2021, which was aided by stimulus checks and COVID lockdowns,” Dye said at the time. “Colorado’s high COVID rates during Q1 2022 also impacted sales and internal staff. The devastating Marshall Fires in and around Boulder in January of this year, caused one store to temporarily close and the store has been further impacted due to a displaced population in and around Boulder County.

Also, overall sales and a decrease in wholesale revenue was largely impacted by wholesale distillate pricing pressure and over-supply in the state of Colorado.”

Dye at the time did, however, express that he remained optimistic that the company would see rising profits as its expansion efforts bore fruit in emerging state markets.

Cannabis deal tracker Viridian Capital Advisors issued a “Buy” rating at a $2.55 price target for the company in last September, calling Schwazze a “profitable and cash generating operator in Colorado with a meaningful and scaling presence in the to-date fragmented state,” wrote Director of Equity Research Jonathan DeCourcey.

“We expect MSOs to increasingly target large established markets like Colorado to support growth in the absence of interstate sales,” DeCourcey wrote. “Furthermore we expect expansion to come in the form of large scale acquisitions of companies that can be plug-and-play contributors to results in order to excite investors and boost valuations. We believe GAGE’s recent takeout by Terrascend and Harvest’s Trulieve deal highlight this theme.

In our view, Schwazze would be a solid takeout candidate for any MSO with Colorado aspirations. We believe even the perception of an acquisition is likely to drive upside in the stock from current levels.”

Medicine Man Technologies Inc. (OTCQX: MDCL) has switched its name to Schwazze (pronounced SHHwahZZ). The company said the new branding reflects its goal to create a dynamic, innovative culture and brand identity while supporting the current and future house of brands as Schwazze continues to grow. Effective, Tuesday, April 21 the Company will begin trading under the Schwazze name and OTC ticker symbol SHWZ.

The company said that Schwazze originates from its proprietary cultivation technique from the Three A Light methodology, which stimulates plant growth and health. The new corporate brand Schwazze inspires a call to action to innovate, grow and nurture plants, products, experiences, and environment to benefit the human experience.

“We are excited to bring this new brand to life to further realize our vision of becoming the most admired cannabis company by positively impacting the health, well-being, and happiness of our customers, team members and communities,” said Shane Sampson, Chief Marketing and Merchandising Officer of Schwazze. “Last year the Company set out to make major changes within the Colorado cannabis industry with Colorado House Bill 19-1090. Our new brand, Schwazze enables differentiation as a true leader across all facets of cannabis and marks the next stage of our strategic growth. After finalizing the announced acquisitions, Schwazze will be one of the largest vertically integrated cannabis operators from seed to sale. We are proud to be building a great cannabis company at Schwazze.”

Mesa Organics Purchase

The company also said that it completed its acquisition of Mesa Organics and its Purplebee’s business.

The closing of Mesa Organics represents the first of the company’s previously announced pending acquisition it has entered into in Colorado with established and proven cannabis companies. The company set these acquisitions in motion after a Colorado law change, House Bill 19-1090, allowed for public-company ownership—a law the company’s leadership lobbied on behalf of for years. After finalizing these acquisitions, Schwazze will be one of the largest vertically integrated cannabis operators. Upon the completion of its announced acquisitions, the Company’s portfolio will consist of top-tier licensed brands spanning cultivation, extraction, infused-product manufacturing, dispensary operations, and robust product innovation and development all under one entity.

Mesa Organics operates four dispensaries throughout southern Colorado in Pueblo, Ordway, Rocky Ford, and Las Animas. Purplebee’s is a leading pure CO2 and ethanol extractor and manufacturer, as well as a producer of cannabis products for some of the leading edible companies across the state.

Medicine Man Technologies Inc. (OTCQX: MDCL) become the first publicly-traded company to receive suitability approval by the state of Colorado. The Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) has approved the company’s application for suitability.

“We are thrilled that Medicine Man Technologies is the first publicly-traded company to receive suitability approval. This is a huge milestone in our march to become the largest cannabis company in Colorado,” said Justin Dye, Chief Executive Officer. “We appreciate the responsibility of running a credible cannabis company and are laser-focused on merging Colorado’s leading cannabis companies into one organization with a true focus on consumers.”

Last year, the Colorado legislature passed, and the Governor signed House Bill 19-1090 which allowed publicly traded companies to own Colorado cannabis licenses. The state has a mandated review designed to ensure that companies are suitable to run an above-board and compliant cannabis company.

Medicine Man Technologies said it has entered into agreements with 11 premier cannabis operators across Colorado to become one of the largest vertically integrated seed-to-sale operators in the global cannabis industry. Once the company closes on this series of pending acquisitions, it will have 13 cultivation operations, five product manufacturing operations, 34 dispensaries, and product development and innovation all under a single entity.

Last year the company went on a spending spree. The company bought Roots Rx, a cannabis operator with six dispensaries located in the ski and mountain towns of Colorado. As part of the deal, the company got Roots Rx’s outdoor cultivation facilities located outside of Aspen. RootsRx cost $15 million and was also a combination of cash and stock. It acquired Colorado Harvest Company, which operates two dispensaries in Denver and one in nearby Aurora. That deal cost $12.5 million and was also a combination of cash and stock.

The company also said last year that it was picking up an additional four unnamed dispensaries for $36 million. Williams added, “This proposed acquisition of these additional dispensaries will continue the expansion of our retail presence in Colorado.”

Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. (OTCQX: MDCL) has been on a dispensary buying binge this past couple of weeks. Today the company has added to that list of newly acquired properties. The company said it would be buying four additional dispensaries in Colorado from a leading cannabis retailer. The company’s total dispensary count will grow to 27 upon the successful closing of all the pending acquisitions.

“These four dispensaries to be acquired culminate a tremendous run over the last week in which we announced the planned acquisitions of 22 dispensaries in Colorado,” commented Andy Williams, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Medicine Man Technologies.  “With an estimated 35% EBITDA margin, these retail stores are collectively expected to be some of the most profitable in our portfolio.

CannTrust

After the market closed on Friday, CannTrust Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CTST)said it received a report from Health Canada telling the company that “Its manufacturing facility in Vaughan, Ontario has been rated non-compliant with certain regulations.”CannTrust stock is dropping over 25% to lately trade at roughly $2.26 in pre-market trading as shareholders learn about the continuing problems with the facilities causing more uncertainty.

The news that the company’s facility has failed a recent inspection is troubling because it was supposed to have addressed problems from previous inspections in which the company was found to be growing cannabis in rooms that hadn’t received licenses.  Health Canada has said that it is currently unable to provide any guidance about the timing or content of its decisions regarding CannTrust.

Saving Money

On August 6th we published an article that illustrated the savings for consumers and additional profits for cultivators that could be produced through the use of a properly organized Cannabis Cooperative Association (“CCA”). This article describes the savings for consumers and the additional profits for cultivators in the movement of cannabis in the form of extracted oil.

As we have said on multiple occasions, a CCA is the most financially efficient structure for engaging in business in California’s cannabis industry. The utilization of a CCA for the movement of cannabis as extracted oil produces even greater price reductions for consumers and increased profits for cultivators than with flower. This occurs because more costs are incurred between the cultivator and the consumer in the movement of extracted oil than in the movement of flower.

Novel?

It was announced on January 2019 that the European Food Safety Association, EFSA is about to make a decision in order to classify CBD oil and other CBD products as a novel food. This decision was announced at the Novel Food Commission meeting which was held in Brussels in 2016. This led to a final imminent decision very soon and EFSA considered CBD products as Novel Food.

In recent times, there has been tremendous growth in food products available in the market which eventually included Cannabidiol. And, according to reports, it is clear that the European CBD Market is going to encounter a boom in the near future. Eventually, the regulators started taking a closer look at the CBD products and oil available in the European market.
