Terra Tech Corp. (OTCQX:TRTC) announced their plan to acquire SilverStreak Solutions Inc. The two companies have executed an agreement for the acquisition to take place. The close is expected to occur within 90 to 120 days. After the close, SilverStreak’s CEO, Sterling Harlan, is expected to consult with the company for a period of six months.

SilverStreak Solutions is a cannabis delivery service serving California areas like Sacramento, Yuba City, Citrus Heights, Roseville, Elk Grove, Stockton, and others. SilverStreak Solutions has 22 company vehicles and about 42,000 monthly customers. As one of the first direct-to-consumer cannabis companies in their area, SilverStreak is experienced in this space and a good move for Terra Tech.

Terra Tech’s acquisition

“We are delighted to continue our expansion with the addition of this high-quality and well-run delivery service,” said Frank Knuettel II, CEO of Terra Tech Corp. “We believe the synergies with Unrivaled’s existing brand portfolio and distribution operation makes enormous economic and operational sense. In addition, we expect to expand SilverStreak’s base of operations utilizing our existing assets in Northern and Southern California, with the intent to develop a statewide delivery operation giving us access to millions of California consumers.”

“This is the next step in our rebuilding initiative, and with our anticipated monetization of our Hydrofarm, we expect to expand our base of operations in the near future. I would like to thank Sterling and his team for the work they have done in building SilverStreak and being the next building block in our effort towards becoming the premier West Coast and Southwest operator of cannabis assets,” Knuettel II continued.

Terra Tech is a vertically integrated cannabis company with operations in California and Nevada. Terra Tech operates two dispensaries and a cultivation facility in California, with two additional cultivation facilities and a dispensary under development. The company operates in Nevada by way of joint ventures, operating a manufacturing and cultivation facility.

Terra Tech sold property for $2.6 million

Terra Tech recently sold a Nevada property on N. 4th Street, as local zoning changes prevent any cannabis activity in the area. The company sold the building for $2.6 million, improving their balance sheet by approximately $900,000, even after paying off $1.6 million in mortgages and other related sale costs.

“Since taking over as CEO a few short months ago, we have continued to review our operations, divest unproductive assets and drive appropriate cost reductions. The successful sale of our N. 4th Street property is another positive step towards doing just that,” Knuettel said.

“With the sale, we have now added approximately $900K to our balance sheet and alleviated numerous costs associated with its ownership, allowing us to focus our attention on working to position the company for what we believe is a very opportunistic future, including the upcoming anticipated closing of the transaction to acquire Unrivaled. This mutually beneficial transaction is expected to lead to immediate scale, driven by strong brands and revenue growth.”

Earnings were reported by both Emerald Health Therapeutics (OTCQX: EMHTF) and Terra Tech (OTC:TRTC). This is a quick summary of what the companies reported.

Terra Tech

With cash dwindling at Terra Tech and expenses rising, the company announced it would begin selling assets in order to focus on the properties with the highest returns. The company also said it was postponing its plans to enter the CBD market.

Terra Tech Corp. reported revenues of $4.31 million versus $2.05 million for the quarter ending March 31, 2019, an increase of approximately $2.26 million. The net loss for the quarter was $17.33 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share versus $11.74 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ending March 31, 2019.

The company had $0.95 million in cash as of March 31, 2020. Expenses were approximately $9.04 million, compared to approximately $8.59 million for the same quarter last year, an increase of approximately $0.45 million.

Matthew Morgan, Chief Executive Officer of Terra Tech, commented, “Our first-quarter results demonstrate continued improvement in our cannabis operations, driven by both medical and adult-use sales from our San Leandro Blüm dispensary as well as wholesale revenues. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in many retailers delaying purchase decisions and reversing plans to launch new CBD products in stores, it has become clear to us that we must focus on our THC business in California to maximize near-term revenues. We have therefore chosen to postpone our expansion strategy in the CBD market through our OneQor business.”

Morgan went on to add, “For us to advance our strategy, we are now completing a number of asset sales in order to strengthen the Company’s cash position and redirect resources to assets that generate the highest returns. We expect to have approximately $24 million coming in from asset sales over the next 12 months from our Blüm dispensaries in Nevada and Santa Ana, California, as well as various sales of non-core licenses and properties. This is expected to set the Company on a path to sustainability that will allow us to be lean and cost-effective. We intend to complete the build out of our Hegenberger cultivation facility in California and leverage our existing capital base to ramp revenues from wholesale THC products as well as sales at our Blüm dispensaries in San Leandro and Oakland.”

Emerald Health

Emerald Health net sales increased 36% to $2.9 million over last year’s $2.1 million for the same time period. The net loss for the quarter was still elevated at $4.9 million, which included a $2 million loss on the dilution of joint venture ownership and a $1.1 million inventory write-down.

The company reported that its total SG&A expenses of $6.0 million showed a decrease of $2.3 million over $8.3 million expense in the comparable first quarter of 2019. Total SG&A expense included $2.1 million of non-cash or non-recurring items.

“In the first quarter and year to date, the benefits of Emerald’s significant restructuring and cost-rationalization are strongly emerging. While these benefits were not fully realized in our Q1 financials, we can see our operational metrics and financial results clearly moving in the desired direction,” said Riaz Bandali, President and Chief Executive Officer of Emerald. “In not even two full quarters, our two newly launched and scaled-up cultivation facilities in BC and Quebec have been achieving important milestones and are positioned to move us toward profitably. On top of that we own over 41% of one of the premiere large-scale cannabis cultivation operations in the country.”

The company said that revenue for the quarter was driven by increased sales from the adult-use market where sales were up 35% as compared to 4Q19. 30% of revenue in the adult-use channel from SYNC oils contributed to improving margins, as this high CBD, low THC oil is not subject to excise duty. A higher proportion of sales from the branded SYNC oil, coupled with the lower cost of dried flower contributed to improved margins compared to 1Q19. Significant harvests from the newly operational production sites led to capitalized inventory, which reflected as a further improvement in production costs. Emerald recognized $5.2 million as its share of net income from Pure Sunfarms, as compared to $5.8 million recognized 1Q19.

Irvine, CA, June 6, 2018 /AxisWire/ Terra Tech Corp.

Utilizing Terra Tech’s proven practices and procedures, the team has successfully begun cultivation of its first cannabis crop, planting the first seeds in early June. Terra Tech expects to distribute and sell cannabis grown at the Sparks facility from its first harvest throughout Nevada by the fourth quarter of 2018.

Construction of the 30,000 square foot cultivation facility was completed during the first quarter of 2018, in conjunction with NuLeaf Sparks.

We plan to cultivate a variety of cannabis strains for patients and consumers under our IVXX brand, including offerings with varying THC and CBD concentrations. Scaling our cannabis cultivation to support our wholesale business as well as to supply our four dispensaries in Nevada will enable us to meet demand from the growing cannabis market.

The cannabis-focused agricultural company Terra Tech Corp. (TRTC) has announced its quarterly financial results for the period ending on March 31, 2018.

Revenue for the quarter was $8.6 million, representing a 26% increase when compared to the period in the previous year. The company attributed its growth to the revenue generated from its cannabis dispensaries in California and Nevada, as well as a 40% increase in sales of produce and herbs nationwide through its Edible Garden brand. Compared to the same period last year, the company’s gross margin increased from 5.3% to 19.1%

Expenses for the company increased over the last year, rising from $6.4 million to $8.4 million. Likewise, the company’s long term debt of the last quarter has increased from $6.6 million in Dec. 31, 2017 to $13.2 million as of March 31, 2018. However over the last year the company’s losses have slightly decreased from $10.1 million to $10 million.

In terms of cash on hand, the company has $4.5 million. Additional, the company was able to secure an additional $40 million in funding during the last quarter and will be paid out in $5 million installments over the next two years. Equity for stockholders increased over the last quarter to $85.7 million.

“We were pleased to report revenue growth of 26% compared to the prior year period,” commented Derek Peterson, Chief Executive Officer of Terra Tech. “This was the first quarter in which we generated revenues from sales to California’s adult use cannabis market. We believe these revenues will accelerate as the industry’s supply chain professionalizes and the adult-use market matures.”

So far the markets have responded positively to Terra Tech’s financial results, causing the company’s stock to briefly rise to $3.15 per share before leveling off to $2.92. On May 10, 2018, Peterson held a conference call to answer shareholder questions, a replay of the call can be found here.
