    Solid earnings debut. Codere Online released financial results for Q4 and full-year 2021, its first earnings release as a public company. Net gaming revenue was €22.2 million in the quarter compared with €22.3 million in the prior-year period. The lack of growth was due primarily to soft revenue in Spain, adversely affected by recent regulations on marketing and advertising. Adj. EBITDA was negative in the quarter at a €6.5 million loss.

    Encouraging metrics.  The company’s average monthly active users in Q4 were 76,365 up 18% from 64,980 in the prior year period. In addition, First Time Deposits (FTDs) increased a significant 48% in the same period to 64,359 from 42,450. We believe these metrics are a positive reflection of management’s strategy to drive engagement in growth markets …

    Significant geophysical survey results. Garibaldi released results from a 2021 Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) survey completed over the company’s 180-square kilometer Nickel Mountain – Palm Springs Project claim groups. Recall that E&L Nickel Mountain represents the first magmatic nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE-rich massive sulphide system identified in the Eskay Camp. The survey identified a large anomalous zone directly below and along trend with mineralized E&L Nickel Mountain gabbro previously confirmed by drilling. The anomaly exceeds 3 kilometers in width and plunges 2 kilometers directly below the nickel-copper-cobalt PGE bearing intrusion which hosts high grade massive sulphides. The finding potentially extends the mineralized zone which could have positive implications for resource size and project economics.

    Growing property-wide exploration potential.  The presence of ZTEM-identified geophysical anomalies coincident with surface mineralization and conductive targets from Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) surveys provide property-wide targets for magmatic and hydrothermal base and precious metal mineralization with high discovery potential …

    4Q21 Results. Revenue for the quarter totaled $26.5 million, up from $7.9 million a year ago, but down from $31.8 million in the third quarter.

“2021 was a transformational year for Schwazze as we became an MSO with a super-regional focus and a clear strategy to “go deep” in the states we are now operating in.  Our private capital raise of $95 million provided momentum for our M&A and organic growth strategy.  The Company’s stock was listed on the NEO Exchange, earlier this month, providing an additional platform for liquidity and awareness of our stock for retail and institutional investors,” stated Justin Dye, CEO of Schwazze. “To date, Schwazze has acquired or announced the acquisition of 33 dispensaries, of which 14 were closed in the first quarter of 2022.  Revenue for the year was $108.4 million, up 352%, and our retail numbers were $73.7 million, up 1,811%.  Our wholesale business continued to win customers and delivered 85% revenue growth.  We continued our upward trend with an increase in average basket size of 9.5% and customer visits by 3.8% year over year.  I am proud of our entire team, as Schwazze, once again outpaced the state of Colorado by 11.3%.”

Y-E 2021 Revenue

Total revenue was $108.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2021, compared to $24.0 million during the same period in 2020 and represents an increase of approximately 352%.  Retail sales were $73.7 million for 2021 from $3.9 million dollars the previous year representing a 1,811% increase driven primarily by acquisitions of dispensaries in Colorado.  Wholesale operations revenue increased to $34.4 million from $18.6 million compared to the previous year representing an 85% increase, primarily driven by acquisition of cultivation facilities and increase in sales of distillate products to the market. Other sales were $0.3 million from $1.5 million the previous year, primarily driven by the pivoting away consulting sales.  

Total cost of goods and services for the year totaled $59.1 million compared to $17.2 million during the same period in 2020, representing an increase of 243%, due to increased sales of products and growth through acquisition.

Gross profit increased to $49.4 million for the year compared to $6.8 million during the same period in 2020. Gross profit margin rose as a percentage of revenue from 28.2% to 45.5%, continued to be driven by the strength of the Star Buds acquisition, our consolidated purchasing approach, and the implementation of our retail playbook.

The Average basket size for 2021 was $59.70 up 9.5%, compared to 2020(2).  Recorded customer visits totaled 1,375,589 up 3.8%, compared to 2020(2)

Total operating expenses were $38.9 million for the year compared to $29.7 million during the same period in 2020. The higher expenses are attributed to increased selling, general and administrative expenses, salaries, benefits, and related employment costs.

Net income attributed to common shareholders for the year was $7.2 million or $0.17 basic earnings per share, compared to a net loss of ($19.4) million or ($0.47) basic earnings per share for the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the year was $32.2 million representing 29.7% of revenue., compared to a loss of ($7.6) million for the same period last year. This is derived from Operating Income and adjusting one-time expenses, merger and acquisition and capital raising costs, non-cash related compensation costs, and depreciation and amortization. See the financial table for Adjusted EBITDA below adjustment for details. 

For the year ended 2021, the Company generated a positive operating cash flow of $57.3 million(1) compared to a loss of ($9.8) million for the same period with $106.4 million in cash and cash equivalents for the year ended 2021.  

Nancy Huber, CFO for Schwazze commented, “we’ve delivered an excellent year with the continued generation of operating cash flows from our acquired businesses.  With funds from operations as well as our recent raise, we will continue to deploy capital in new acquisitions and improve our stores, manufacturing, and cultivation operations.  We expect to deploy approximately $15 million for capital improvements in our businesses this year.”

2022 Guidance

The Company is providing guidance for a fourth-quarter 2022 (“Q4 2022”) annualized run rate, which excludes transactions that are announced but not closed.  Q4 2022 revenue annualized run rate is projected to be approximately $220 Million – $260 Million, and the projected Q4 2022 adjusted EBITDA annualized run rate is projected to be from $70 million to $82 million.  

NOTES:

  • $34.9 million of this year’s operating cash flow was derived from the derivative liability associated with the convertible debt issued in December.
  • Schwazze did not own all the assets and entities in part of 2021, 2020 and 2019 and is using unaudited numbers for this comparison.

Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) from operations, as reported, before tax, adjusted to exclude non-recurring items, other non-cash items, including stock-based compensation expense, depreciation, and amortization, and further adjusted to remove acquisition and capital raise related costs, and other one-time expenses, such as severance, retention, and employee relocation. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA as it believes it better explains the results of its core business. The Company has not reconciled guidance for adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because it cannot provide guidance for the various reconciling items. The Company is unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because it cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of its control and cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

Q1 Record-Breaking Crypto Theft



Image Credit: XResh (Pixabay)


Blockchain Hackers Break Previous Quarterly Theft Record

 

Crypto hackers made off with $1,307 million during the first quarter of 2022. They Averaged over $20 million per hack in 73 attacks on the blockchain ecosystem. A single attack on Ronin accounted for almost half the amount, with Solana and Binance smart chain ecosystems accounting for more than a third of that total. We take a look at the top targets, methods, most successful hacks, and trends that played out over the first quarter of 2022.

Targets

NFTs were the top target, with the highest number of hacks at 20, netting a near-$49 million loss. Some attackers used phishing attacks on Discord to steal victims’ NFTs; other scammers launched NFT projects and then disappeared with buyers’ funds without delivering.

Exchanges were hacked out of $42 million in three events. The Ethereum ecosystem experienced 16 events where attackers made off with $25 million.

Hacks of the Solana and BSC networks led to almost $500 million in stolen funds, with $400 million taken from Solana and $100 million from Binance smart chain. 

 

Record Highs

As the blockchain industry expands, so has the opportunity and reward for those interested in personal gain by undermining the substantial protections. The market is now a larger target with more rewards to be had. Measuring only first-quarter events, in 2018 cryptocurrency-related blockchain hacks numbered only five. During the first quarter of 2019, hacks numbered 62 (1140% jump). It seems hackers were focused on the coronavirus during the first quarter 2020, because the number of events dropped to 13. A year later, in the first quarter of 2021, blockchain breaches and scams rose to 33 (154%).

This brings us to the quarter that just ended. As mentioned earlier, Blockchain-related hack events have reached an all-time high of 72 in Q1 2022. It represents a 118% increase in hacks compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Currently

On March 23rd, a hacker accomplished one of the largest heists in crypto history. The Ronin loss of $625 million worth of ether and stablecoin USDC occurred after hackers were able to access five private keys used to validate transactions in order to forge bogus withdrawals on March 23, resulting in 173,600 Ethereum and 25.5M USDC drained from the Ronin bridge in two transactions.

Blockchain project security is one concern a person investing in cryptocurrency should consider. Most blockchain-related hack events happen because cybercriminals exploit flaws in the project code. Successful thieves can cause massive headaches and losses to creators and investors on crypto platforms.

Human Genome Gaps in Understanding are Now Filled by Six New Reports

 

When it was announced in 2003 that the human genome had been mapped, the accomplishment was and continues to be life-changing for the species. But the mapping wasn’t fully complete. While it opened doors to understanding and continues to open doors to medical breakthroughs, it was only 92% complete. That is no longer the case. Yesterday (March 31), the official reports on the first end-to-end human genome map was published.

Now that scientists have a complete map with no significant gaps, the enhanced knowledge will no doubt lead to filling in evolutionary questions while providing insights into birth defects, auto-immune problems, cancer, and aging. The six separate papers just published include parts of the genome that were left uncharacterized because of available DNA sequencing technology two decades ago. After 20 years, these limits have been overcome. This is again momentous for the species as it will lead to discoveries and techniques that will only be realized over time.

While filling gaps in understanding and discovering 99 more new genes believed to code for proteins, the scientists also corrected thousands of errors in an earlier map of human DNA. This map from 2003 has been serving those in the field, including researchers, geneticists, and medical doctors. The original $3 billion Human Genome Project sought to unveil the purpose of every letter of a human’s DNA, but even with refinements made after the original conclusions, it is believed to have found only about 92% of them.

 

Exploiting the new map for medical care or evolution discovery provides another exciting start with new information to assess when figuring out diseases that are known to be inherited, but uncertainty exists as to where the faulty gene resides.

The new map cost a few million dollars to create, according to Adam Phillippy, a computational biologist at the National Human Genome Research Institute. This reflects how technology and understanding have brought down gene sequencing costs.

The twin strands of DNA in human cells contain about three billion letter pairs spread among 23 pairs of chromosomes. The genetic material helps determine eye and hair color, stature, and other physical characteristics, as well as risks for certain diseases. Scientists liken sequencing to solving a jigsaw puzzle, they look at a few segments and try to find what fits. Since there are two strands (one contributed by the mother, the other by the father) they used their computers to focus on only one puzzle, paternal DNA.

The six separate papers just published include parts of the genome that were left uncharacterized because of available DNA sequencing technology two decades ago. After 20 years, these limits have been overcome. This is again momentous for the species as it will lead to discoveries and techniques that will only be realized over time.

While filling gaps in understanding and discovering 99 more new genes believed to code for proteins, the scientists also corrected thousands of errors in an earlier map of human DNA. This map from 2003 has been serving those in the field, including researchers, geneticists, and medical doctors. The original $3 billion Human Genome Project sought to unveil the purpose of every letter of a human’s DNA, but even with refinements made after the original conclusions, it is believed to have found only about 92% of them.

 

Exploiting the new map for medical care or evolution discovery provides another exciting start with new information to assess when figuring out diseases that are known to be inherited, but uncertainty exists as to where the faulty gene resides.

The new map cost a few million dollars to create, according to Adam Phillippy, a computational biologist at the National Human Genome Research Institute. This reflects how technology and understanding have brought down gene sequencing costs.

The twin strands of DNA in human cells contain about three billion letter pairs spread among 23 pairs of chromosomes. The genetic material helps determine eye and hair color, stature, and other physical characteristics, as well as risks for certain diseases. Scientists liken sequencing to solving a jigsaw puzzle, they look at a few segments and try to find what fits. Since there are two strands (one contributed by the mother, the other by the father) they used their computers to focus on only one puzzle, paternal DNA.

“2021 was a transformational year for Schwazze as we became an MSO with a super-regional focus and a clear strategy to “go deep” in the states we are now operating in.  Our private capital raise of $95 million provided momentum for our M&A and organic growth strategy.  The Company’s stock was listed on the NEO Exchange, earlier this month, providing an additional platform for liquidity and awareness of our stock for retail and institutional investors,” stated Justin Dye, CEO of Schwazze. “To date, Schwazze has acquired or announced the acquisition of 33 dispensaries, of which 14 were closed in the first quarter of 2022.  Revenue for the year was $108.4 million, up 352%, and our retail numbers were $73.7 million, up 1,811%.  Our wholesale business continued to win customers and delivered 85% revenue growth.  We continued our upward trend with an increase in average basket size of 9.5% and customer visits by 3.8% year over year.  I am proud of our entire team, as Schwazze, once again outpaced the state of Colorado by 11.3%.”

Y-E 2021 Revenue

Total revenue was $108.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2021, compared to $24.0 million during the same period in 2020 and represents an increase of approximately 352%.  Retail sales were $73.7 million for 2021 from $3.9 million dollars the previous year representing a 1,811% increase driven primarily by acquisitions of dispensaries in Colorado.  Wholesale operations revenue increased to $34.4 million from $18.6 million compared to the previous year representing an 85% increase, primarily driven by acquisition of cultivation facilities and increase in sales of distillate products to the market. Other sales were $0.3 million from $1.5 million the previous year, primarily driven by the pivoting away consulting sales.  

Total cost of goods and services for the year totaled $59.1 million compared to $17.2 million during the same period in 2020, representing an increase of 243%, due to increased sales of products and growth through acquisition.

Gross profit increased to $49.4 million for the year compared to $6.8 million during the same period in 2020. Gross profit margin rose as a percentage of revenue from 28.2% to 45.5%, continued to be driven by the strength of the Star Buds acquisition, our consolidated purchasing approach, and the implementation of our retail playbook.

The Average basket size for 2021 was $59.70 up 9.5%, compared to 2020(2).  Recorded customer visits totaled 1,375,589 up 3.8%, compared to 2020(2)

Total operating expenses were $38.9 million for the year compared to $29.7 million during the same period in 2020. The higher expenses are attributed to increased selling, general and administrative expenses, salaries, benefits, and related employment costs.

Net income attributed to common shareholders for the year was $7.2 million or $0.17 basic earnings per share, compared to a net loss of ($19.4) million or ($0.47) basic earnings per share for the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the year was $32.2 million representing 29.7% of revenue., compared to a loss of ($7.6) million for the same period last year. This is derived from Operating Income and adjusting one-time expenses, merger and acquisition and capital raising costs, non-cash related compensation costs, and depreciation and amortization. See the financial table for Adjusted EBITDA below adjustment for details. 

For the year ended 2021, the Company generated a positive operating cash flow of $57.3 million(1) compared to a loss of ($9.8) million for the same period with $106.4 million in cash and cash equivalents for the year ended 2021.  

Nancy Huber, CFO for Schwazze commented, “we’ve delivered an excellent year with the continued generation of operating cash flows from our acquired businesses.  With funds from operations as well as our recent raise, we will continue to deploy capital in new acquisitions and improve our stores, manufacturing, and cultivation operations.  We expect to deploy approximately $15 million for capital improvements in our businesses this year.”

2022 Guidance

The Company is providing guidance for a fourth-quarter 2022 (“Q4 2022”) annualized run rate, which excludes transactions that are announced but not closed.  Q4 2022 revenue annualized run rate is projected to be approximately $220 Million – $260 Million, and the projected Q4 2022 adjusted EBITDA annualized run rate is projected to be from $70 million to $82 million.  

NOTES:

  • $34.9 million of this year’s operating cash flow was derived from the derivative liability associated with the convertible debt issued in December.
  • Schwazze did not own all the assets and entities in part of 2021, 2020 and 2019 and is using unaudited numbers for this comparison.

Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) from operations, as reported, before tax, adjusted to exclude non-recurring items, other non-cash items, including stock-based compensation expense, depreciation, and amortization, and further adjusted to remove acquisition and capital raise related costs, and other one-time expenses, such as severance, retention, and employee relocation. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA as it believes it better explains the results of its core business. The Company has not reconciled guidance for adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because it cannot provide guidance for the various reconciling items. The Company is unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because it cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of its control and cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

Garibaldi Resources (GGIFF)(GGI:CA) – Geophysical Survey Results Underscore Nickel Mountain’s Growing Resource Potential

Friday, April 01, 2022

Garibaldi Resources (GGIFF)(GGI:CA)
Geophysical Survey Results Underscore Nickel Mountain’s Growing Resource Potential

Garibaldi Resources Corp is a Canadian-based junior exploration company. It is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and evaluation of mineral properties located in Canada and Mexico. The company’s projects in Mexico include the La Patilla, the Rodadero, the Tonichi and the Iris project. Its projects in Canada include the PSP and King projects, The Cariboo Copper and Gold project, the Red Lion project, the Grizzly project, the Tora Tora project and the Black Gold project.

Mark Reichman, Senior Research Analyst of Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

    Significant geophysical survey results. Garibaldi released results from a 2021 Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) survey completed over the company’s 180-square kilometer Nickel Mountain – Palm Springs Project claim groups. Recall that E&L Nickel Mountain represents the first magmatic nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE-rich massive sulphide system identified in the Eskay Camp. The survey identified a large anomalous zone directly below and along trend with mineralized E&L Nickel Mountain gabbro previously confirmed by drilling. The anomaly exceeds 3 kilometers in width and plunges 2 kilometers directly below the nickel-copper-cobalt PGE bearing intrusion which hosts high grade massive sulphides. The finding potentially extends the mineralized zone which could have positive implications for resource size and project economics.

    Growing property-wide exploration potential.  The presence of ZTEM-identified geophysical anomalies coincident with surface mineralization and conductive targets from Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) surveys provide property-wide targets for magmatic and hydrothermal base and precious metal mineralization with high discovery potential …

Joe Gomes, Senior Research Analyst, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Joshua Zoepfel, Research Associate, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

    1Q22 Results. Avivagen reported revenue of $271,157 (all figures in Canadian $) in the quarter, up from $261,987 last year, and compared to our $300,000 estimate. Net loss for the quarter was $1.6 million, or $0.03 per share versus a net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.03 per share, in the first quarter of 2021. We had forecasted a net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.03 per share. Increased operating expenses due to impairment expenses were the main driver in the increased loss.

    Market Still Challenging.  While sales in the Philippines continue apace, Mexico remains frozen. In fact, quarterly revenues were reduced by $89,658 due to returned product from Mexico. Average price per kg of OxC-Beta remained flat at $106.33. While Avivagen has made strides in receiving approvals in other nations, the Company needs to translate approvals into steady, and increasing, sales in more …
