Acquisition. Yesterday, FAT Brands announced that it agreed to acquire the franchised chain of stores known as Nestlé Toll House Café by Chip from Crest Foods, Inc. While the acquisition increases the Company’s presence in the cookie segment, we believe the driving force to be the opportunity to increase the capacity utilization of the manufacturing business, which currently manufactures cookie dough and pretzel mix for FAT Brands, as well as conducts distribution services for other products used in those operations. Recall, the factory is currently operating at roughly one-third of capacity. At full capacity, the factory could more than double its EBITDA contribution.

Who, and What, Is Nestlé Toll House Café by Chip from Crest Foods, Inc.? While terms of the acquisition were not released, Nestle Toll House Café currently franchises approximately 85 cafés across the U.S., with a concentration in Texas. The very first Nestle Toll House Café by Chip opened in August 2000, in Frisco, Texas and the brand touches over 60 million customers per year. Cafes are commonly found in shopping malls or shopping centers….

1Q22 Results. Revenue for the quarter totaled $31.8 million, up from $26.5 million in the fourth quarter and $19.3 million a year ago.

Schwazze reported an operating loss of $4.8 million and a net loss of $28.5 million, or $0.61 per share. We had forecast revenue of $35 million and net income of $1.7 million, or $0.03 per share.

One-Time Items Impact Results. First quarter 2022 COGS was impacted by $6.3 million of purchase accounting on acquisitions, compared to $2.2 million in the year ago period. One-time costs associated with acquisitions totaled $2.8 million. Below the line, results were impacted by $13.4 million of unrealized loss on derivative liabilities and a y-o-y increase in interest expense to $7.3 million from $961,282 in 1Q21.

2QFY22 Results. Stem reported net revenue of $4.1 million compared to $5.5 million last year. The sales decline reflects a decrease in sales resulting from general market conditions. Stem reported a net loss of $3.5 million, or $0.02 per share, for the quarter. In the same period last year, Stem recorded a net loss of $8.6 million, or $0.06 per share. Outstanding shares increased to 223.7 million from 137.8 million. We had projected revenue of $4.2 million and a net loss of $4.0 million, or $0.02 per share. 

Segments. While the wholesale business saw a modest increase year-over-year, retail revenue declined to $3.2 million from $6.0 million year-over-year. We attribute the drop to a combination of a soft overall cannabis market and Stem’s ongoing restructuring of its Oregon operations.

Accomplishments for Q1 2022
Since December 2021, Schwazze has closed acquisitions adding 14 cannabis dispensaries, 10 in New Mexico and four in Colorado as well as four cultivation facilities in New Mexico and one in Colorado and one manufacturing asset in New Mexico.

Q1 2022

  • Listed Common Stock on the NEO Exchange
  • Signed Definitive Agreement to Acquire Assets of Urban Health & Wellness
  • Closed Acquisition of Brow 2 LLC Assets
  • Closed Acquisition of Emerald Fields
  • Added President of New Mexico Division
  • Closed New Mexico Acquisition, Becoming a Regionally Focused MSO
  • Added to Key Senior Leadership Team
  • Closed Acquisition of Drift Assets

Justin Dye, Chairman and CEO of Schwazze stated
, “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.  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.”

Justin continued, “however, we
remain optimistic regarding our continued growth for the remainder of the year
as we believe that Colorado’s first quarter was impacted by macro events. 
We are starting to see more positive results entering the second quarter. We
are pleased to report that the sales trends in New Mexico, which recently
commenced selling recreational-use cannabis on April 1, have seen positive
results, and we remain confident in the future growth of this market.  Our
revenue continues to grow with a 64% increase overall when comparing Q1 2022 to
Q1 2021, with retail sales growing to $26.5 million for the quarter, a 124%
increase compared to Q1 2021. While basket sales and customer visits for both
Colorado and New Mexico were down quarter over-quarter, attributed to macro
events and previous stimulus spending, we once again outpaced the industry
performance in the state of Colorado for the quarter by 10.2%.  At this
time, we do not have a service that publishes comparable market stats in New
Mexico, therefore we will be working on how to compare our performance in the
near future.”

Q1 2022 Revenue
Revenues for Q1 2022, totaled $31.8 million including (i) retail sales of $26.5 million (ii) wholesale sales of $5.2 million and (iii) other operating revenues of $0.04 million, compared to revenues of $19.3 million including (i) retail sales of $11.8 million (ii) wholesale of $7.4 million, and (iii) other operating revenues of $0.08 million during Q1 2021 and represented an increase of $12.4 million or 64%. Increased sales are due in large part to additional dispensary sales.  In Q1 2022, we acquired fourteen new retail dispensaries. The decrease in wholesale revenue in 2022 was largely due to wholesale distillate pricing pressure and over-supply in the state of Colorado.

Cost of goods and services for Q1 2022, totaled $20.8 million compared to cost of goods and services of $12.1 million during Q1 2021, representing an increase of $8.7 million or 72%. This increase was due to increased sales and growth through acquisition. The cost of goods and services increased at a higher rate than revenue due to the impact of purchase accounting on retail acquisitions made in the each of the first quarters. Q1 2022 had $6.3 million in additional cost of goods and services due to purchase accounting while Q1 2021 had $2.2 million of additional cost of goods and services due to purchase accounting.

Gross profit increased to $10.9 million for Q 1 2022 compared to $7.3 million during the same period in 2021. Gross profit margin declined as a percentage of revenue from 37.5% to 34.4%, although net of purchase accounting, the gross margin increased from 48.7% to 54.1%.  This positive result, net of purchase accounting continues to reflect our consolidated purchasing approach, the implementation of our retail playbook, and vertical product sales in New Mexico.

Operating expenses for Q1 2022, totaled $15.7 million, compared to operating expenses of $8.7 million during Q1 2021, representing an increase of $7 million or 80%. This increase was due to increased selling, general and administrative expenses including acquisition costs, professional service fees related to acquisitions, salaries, benefits and related employment costs mostly related to the increased number of dispensaries.

Other expense, net for Q1 2022, totaled $20.7 million, compared to $1.7 million during Q1 2021. The increase in other expense, net was due to an increase in interest payments due to various loans and by the non-cash loss on derivative liability related to our 13% senior secured convertible notes due 2026.

As a result of the factors discussed above, a net loss was generated for the Q1 2022 of $26.8 million, compared to net loss of $3.6 million during Q1 2021.  This loss includes non-cash charges totaling $16.9 million; this includes derivative liability of $13.4 million, depreciation and amortization of $2.5 million and non-cash compensations of $1.0 million as well as acquisition and capital raise costs associated with the closing of recent acquisitions of $9.1 million, including $6.3 million of purchase accounting costs and $2.8 million of additional related costs.

Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2022 was $7.9 million representing 25% of revenue, compared to $5.8 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 Q1 2022, the Company generated net cash provided from operations of $5.8 million compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2021.  The Company has cash and cash equivalents of $47.1 million at the end of Q1 2022. 

Nancy Huber, CFO for Schwazze commented, “Q1
2022 included four acquisitions in January and February expanding the company
in all areas.  We also found ourselves cycling large numbers from the
previous year and were impacted by COVID as many businesses in Colorado were
similarly affected in January. As we move forward in quarters not complicated
by acquisitions costs, we are targeting to have positive operating
income.  We remain focused on continuing to drive our operating playbook
through all our businesses and plan to outperform the market.  We
delivered positive operating cash flow despite a challenging quarter.  We
will continue to invest that cashflow in growth opportunities both organically
and through acquisitions.”

2022 Guidance
The Company’s guidance, issued for 2022 remains unchanged.  Guidance has been issued 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 to $260 Million, and the projected Q4 2022 adjusted EBITDA annualized run rate is projected to be from $70 million to $82 million.  

NOTES:

(1)  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.

Michael Kupinski, Director of Research, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Patrick McCann, Research Associate, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

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

Impressive Q3 results. The company reported fiscal Q3 revenue of $257.8 million, an increase of 130% from the year earlier quarter and a solid 8.3% above our estimate of $238.1 million. Adj. EBITDA was even more impressive at $108.4 million, a 296% increase from the year earlier quarter and a whopping 36.3% higher than our estimate of $79.5 million.

Eased COVID restrictions. Management noted that the strong quarter was boosted by the easing of COVID restrictions in many regions and as the Covid Omicron variant faded. This allowed retail revenue to increase and event revenue to significantly improve. This was evident by a 133% increase in Food & Beverage in the quarter. Notably, revenue was up 25.8% compared with pre-pandemic performance and up 12.2% compared with pre-pandemic on a same-store basis.

Element79 Gold Corp. (ELMGF) – Getting In On the Ground Floor

Wednesday, May 11, 2022

Element79 Gold Corp. (ELMGF)
Getting In On the Ground Floor

Element79 Gold is a mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of mining properties for gold and associated metals. Element79 Gold has acquired its flagship Maverick Springs Project located in the famous gold mining district of northeastern Nevada, USA, between the Elko and White Pine Counties, where it has recently completed a 43-101-compliant, pit-constrained mineral resource estimate reflecting an Inferred resource of 3.71 million ounces of gold equivalent* “AuEq” at a grade of 0.92 g/t AuEq (0.34 g/t Au and 43.4 g/t Ag)) with an effective date of Feb. 4, 2022. The acquisition of the Maverick Springs Project also included a portfolio of 15 properties along the Battle Mountain trend in Nevada, which the Company is analyzing for further merit of exploration, along with the potential for sale or spin-out. In British Columbia, Element79 Gold has executed a Letter of Intent to acquire a private company which holds the option to 100% interest of the Snowbird High-Grade Gold Project, which consists of 10 mineral claims located in Central British Columbia, approximately 20km west of Fort St. James. In Peru, Element79 Gold has signed a letter of intent to acquire the business and assets of Calipuy Resources Inc., which holds 100% interest in the past-producing Lucero Mine, one of the highest-grade underground mines to be commercially mined in Peru’s history, as well as the past-producing Machacala Mine. The Company also has an option to acquire 100% interest in the Dale Property which consists of 90 unpatented mining claims located approximately 100 km southwest of Timmins, Ontario, Canada in the Timmins Mining Division, Dale Township.

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

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

Initiating coverage with an Outperform rating. From the time of its initial public offering in August 2021, Element79 Gold has rapidly assembled a diversified portfolio of precious metals properties in the United States, Canada, and Peru. The company’s 20-property portfolio, including those for which it has an option or letter of intent to acquire, includes sixteen 100%-owned projects in Nevada, two in Canada, and two in Peru. Its flagship Maverick Springs project in Nevada, which was acquired in December 2021, hosts an inferred resource of 3.71 million ounces of gold equivalent with significant expansion potential. The company also owns 15 properties along the Battle Mountain Trend in Nevada and is considering each for additional exploration, joint venture, sale, or spin-out.

Accelerated path to cash flow generation. Element79 Gold recently executed a letter of intent to acquire two past producing gold mines in Peru, the Lucero and Machacala mines, with the intent to return Machacala to production within the next 18 to 24 months at a maximum rate of 350 tonnes per day. A definitive agreement is expected to be executed by the end of June with the transaction closing shortly thereafter. While the company’s Nevada projects provide scale and underpin the company’s valuation with an existing resource, the projects in Peru offer the potential for higher grade ore and the prospect of near-term production and cash flow….

Release – The Big Tomato, Hydroponic Division of Schwazze, Receives Westword Best of Denver Award for the Best Home Cultivation Store



The Big Tomato, Hydroponic Division of Schwazze, Receives Westword Best of Denver Award for the Best Home Cultivation Store

Research, News, and Market Data on Schwazze


DENVER, May 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ – 
Schwazze, (OTCQX: SHWZ) (NEO: SHWZ), a premier vertically integrated, multi-state operating cannabis company with assets in Colorado and New Mexico is proud to announce that its hydroponic and indoor gardening brand, The Big Tomato has been named the Best Home Cultivation Store in the city of Denver by Westword magazine.

Westword magazine states, “The Big Tomato was helping home growers long before the dispensary boom, selling indoor gardening supplies for over two decades. Now owned by Schwazze, a Denver-based cannabis corporation, the Big Tomato still offers the same friendly service for newbies and regulars, but now has even more of a cannabis focus — and an online shopping option, to boot. For beginning green thumbs, finding a trustworthy growing store is like searching for a new mechanic; more cynical shops can take advantage of that lack of experience by suggesting unnecessary lighting equipment and nutrients. That’s not the case at the Big Tomato, so don’t be afraid to ask questions.”

“We are honored to receive the Westword award for Best Home Cultivation Store in Denver,” said Jeremy Bullock, Vice President – Commercial Sales. “We are proud to serve our community and provide expert advice to an industry that has historically lacked access to information and education about the best practices for cultivating cannabis.”

The Big Tomato (Big Tomato) has served the indoor, hydroponic and community of Colorado for over 20 years. Big Tomato predates the hydroponics boom, and offers competitive prices and an extensive selection of expertly curated supplies. The experienced growers at Big Tomato offer superior product knowledge to hobbyists and commercial growers alike. From propagation to harvest, Big Tomato has developed a reputation as the go-to source for all garden supply needs.

Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (KNDI)
First quarter results reflect shift in business line

Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (KNDI), headquartered in Jinhua Economic Development Zone, Zhejiang Province, is engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, and sales of various vehicular products. Kandi conducts its primary business operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Zhejiang Kandi Technologies Group Co., Ltd.

Zhejiang Kandi Technologies has established itself as one of China’s leading manufacturers of pure electric vehicle parts and off-road vehicles.

Michael Heim, CFA, Senior Research Analyst, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

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

Off-road vehicle sales rose 90% year over year. Off-road electric vehicles sales, primarily golf carts, were $10.7 million surpassing our expectations for sales of $8 million. The segment has been hot every since the beginning of COVID and continues to grow in importance to the company. The company formed a new company to produce electric golf carts. The company recently signed a memorandum of understanding to sell $29 million (5,000 units), virtually doubling the division’s sales. We expect strong growth from the division.

Battery sales have been strong and now represent the second largest operating division. Battery sales were $8.0 million up from a negligible amount last year. The company acquired Jiangxi Huiyi New Energy Co. in October 2021. The division has synergistic benefits with Kandi’s other operating divisions and appears to be a profitable business on its own….
