- New CEO. Stem Holdings announced the appointment of Co-Founder Matthew Cohen as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer effective immediately. Although working out of the spotlight, Mr. Cohen played an instrumental part in the organization of Stem and its acquisition of the cannabis cultivation and retail operations. We had an opportunity to speak with Mr. Cohen and following are the highlights.
Rationalization of Assets. Mr. Cohen already is moving forward with the sale of assets, such as some of the Company’s joint ventures and real estate that can be leased backed. Funds generated by these actions will provide a cushion as the Oregon operations are rebuilt. Ultimately, we expect Stem to rationalize into the Oregon operations and the California dispensary, although in our view if an …

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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.

Wendyverse Allows Wendys to Meta Market
The Metaverse will Now Include Fast Food’s Favorite Redhead
This calendar week each year, I’m always skeptical of stories that seem to not jibe with reality. Around April Fools’ you see even the most stodgy firms trying to shock and have some fun. I still remember last year when Volkswagen created a stir by saying it was rebranding to VOLTswagen? So when Wendy’s, which loves to have fun on Twitter, announced it was creating Wendysverse, I needed to triple check if their metaverse announcement was a reality or a stunt.

In March of 2021 VW got in trouble with the SEC with a prank that significantly moved
their stock price
The reality is the fast-food restaurant is available in virtual reality. Wendy’s will exist on Meta’s Horizon Worlds (Facebook) platform incarnated as “Wendyverse.” This is a marketing and gaming combination that will help their brand stay in front of consumers in the virtual world.
As of April 2, those with a Quest 2 headset will be able to enter the metaverse activation, which is divided into two areas: Towne Square Central, home to a virtual Wendy’s restaurant, and Partnership Plaza, where players can shoot Baconators on a branded basketball court called the Buck BiscuitDome (which is a limited-edition menu item that is currently available). The experiences were developed through a collaboration between Wendy’s and community creators.
Wendy’s didn’t invent marketing in VR. Metaverse locations like Wendyverse are being rolled out by others as brands work to stay fresh by being digitally minded to attract and retain younger customers. For some of these virtual worlds, the customers have to be at least 21 as Jose Cuervo announced plans to build a distillery in Decentraland. Also, Miller Lite opened a bar on Decentraland for the Super Bowl. Fast food restaurants in particular have been building out virtual spaces as they look to build on their base of consumers by marketing in a game-like setting and going where their customers are. Even McDonald’s and Chipotle have created virtual experiences – Arby’s recently filed trademarks to offer virtual food and beverages.

What’s noteworthy about Wendy’s entry is their use of Meta’s Horizon Worlds. The platform, which just hit 300,000 users, requires an Oculus headset, which can cost near $300. This may allow a more immersive Wendysville experience, but could also limit the number of potential visitors. Horizon Worlds platform has seen fewer brand partnerships to date than rival platforms like Roblox, Decentraland and The Sandbox – cost of entry is one of the reasons.
To visit Wendyverse, customers must first download the Horizon Worlds app. Inside the app, they have to search for Wendyverse and click on a picture to travel to the virtual world.
