Update. Schwazze, in conjunction with its new auditors, has determined that its financial statements for the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, will be restated due to the identification of certain accounting adjustments needed primarily relating to technical accounting areas. The Company filed an 8-k describing the necessary adjustments.

Impact. Although mostly related to technical accounting areas, the Company has concluded that the impact of these corrections is material and, therefore, worthy of restatement. However, Schwazze does not currently believe that the foregoing corrections will have any negative material impact on the Company’s revenue, adjusted EBITDA, cash from operations, or cash position.

Preliminary 3Q24 Results. Last night, Schwazze reported preliminary 3Q24 results. We believe the ongoing audit of past results is likely causing a delay in reporting results. According to the release, 3Q24 revenue is expected to be approximately $42 million, and adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $11 million. In 3Q23, Schwazze reported revenue of $46.7 million and adjusted EBITDA of $14.1 million. We had estimated revenue of $44.5 million and adjusted EBITDA of $10.3 million.

Making Progress. In spite of the challenging operating environment, Schwazze continued to generate momentum from its retail growth and optimization initiatives in the quarter, reflected by the Company once again outpacing two highly competitive markets while generating sequential improvements in profitability and positive cash flow from operations. Management noted increased store traffic in both Colorado and New Mexico.

Audit. Schwazze and its auditor are working diligently to complete the necessary re-audit of the 2023 financials. While management did not provide a timetable, we believe the process will be completed in the near-term. No material misstatements have been uncovered to date. Once audited financials are filed, we expect the Company to apply for re-listing of its shares.

Re-Scheduling. We continue to expect re-scheduling to occur in the near-term, which will have a positive impact on the entire industry. Schwazze continues to believe the elimination of 280e taxes will have a significant impact on cash flows for the Company. The Company also will seek to refile past tax returns to capture prior excess taxes paid under 280e.

Results. Revenue of $43.2 million increased 2% y-o-y and was in-line with our $43 million estimate. Gross profit margin fell to 44% from 54.4% a year ago, but was in-line with our 43.6% projection. The GM decline reflects ongoing pricing pressure in both Colorado and New Mexico, as well as a greater mix of 3rd-party products in New Mexico and higher medical sales in Colorado. Schwazze reported a net operating loss of $2.7 million and a net loss of $13.9 million, or $0.20/sh. We were at a net loss of $0.19/sh.

Quarter Highlights. Schwazze generated sequential quarterly growth across all key financial metrics during the quarter. The Company continued to focus on sharper pricing and promotional strategies to drive store traffic and market share in both Colorado and New Mexico. Wholesale margins continued to show improvement.

A Move. We had an opportunity to speak with management regarding the announcement that the OTC Market Group will move trading of SHWZ shares to the OTC Expert Market from OTC QX as a result of the Company’s delinquent 10-Q filing for the period ending March 31, 2024. We believe the move to be temporary and does not have an impact on the long-term investment potential of SHWZ shares.

Why? As we noted previously, Schwazze has been caught up in the BF Borgers case. Schwazze replaced Borgers as the Company’s accountant in April, before the SEC case against Borgers was announced. The Company’s new accountant Baker Tilly is re-auditing Schwazze’s 2023 financial statements, but the review will take longer than the OTC Market Group’s 45 day late filing grace period. We are hopeful the review will be completed in the August/September time frame.

Conference. We hosted Schwazze Chairman Justin Dye at the Noble Capital Emerging Growth Conference on June 27th. The entire presentation with Q&A can be found at https://www.channelchek.com/videos/schwazze-shwz-noble-capital-markets-virtual-consumer-tmt-conference-replay. The following are key highlights of the presentation.

Improving Outlook. Schwazze is seeing improvement in both Colorado and New Mexico from a competitive standpoint. In Colorado, pricing continues to stabilize, which will prove positive to both the top line and gross margin dollars. In New Mexico, enhanced enforcement of illegal operators and the illicit market is beginning to produce results, which will benefit Schwazze over the longer-term, in our view.

1Q24 Results. Revenue of $41.6 million was up 4% y-o-y, driven by new store growth. Gross margin declined to 43.1% from 54.6% due to pricing pressure in New Mexico and a higher mix of lower margined medical sales. Schwazze reported an operating loss of $2.7 million compared to $5.6 million of operating profit in 1Q23. GAAP net loss totaled $18.2 million, or a loss of $0.24/sh, versus essentially breakeven last year. We had estimated revenue of $42.5 million and a net loss of $11.6 million, or a loss of $0.16/sh.

Environment Still Challenging. The Colorado and New Mexico markets remain some of the most competitive cannabis markets in the country. A supply/demand situation still coming into balance and too many retail locations will continue to impact both markets in the near-term.

Release – Schwazze Announces First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Research News and Market Data on SHWZ

DENVER, May 15, 2024 /CNW/ – Medicine Man Technologies, Inc., operating as Schwazze, (OTCQX: SHWZ) (Cboe CA: SHWZ) (“Schwazze” or the “Company”), today announced financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

“We delivered another period of revenue growth in Q1 as we further refined our retail strategy while contending with the prolonged competitive challenges in Colorado and New Mexico,” said Forrest Hoffmaster, Interim CEO of Schwazze. “Throughout the quarter, we continued to sharpen our pricing and promotional efforts while enhancing the in-store experience, widening assortment, improving in-stock position, and advancing our loyalty program to attract and retain new customers. We also strengthened our wholesale business with quarter-over-quarter growth, while surpassing 30% total door penetration across both states.”

“The Colorado market remains highly competitive with more than 680 active recreational licenses, underscoring the importance of delivering an exceptional customer experience and fully integrated retail support program. Although retail pricing has recently stabilized, Colorado sales in Q1 were down 10% year-over-year due to lower volumes. Nonetheless, we significantly outpaced the market as our sales were up 9%, demonstrating the effectiveness of our operating playbook to compete in challenging environments. We expect to continue driving improvements in customer acquisition, retention, and loyalty as we further increase market share in the state.”

“In New Mexico, the proliferation of new licenses continued to outpace state cannabis sales as store count in Q1 increased 31% year-over-year while the market grew only 13%. In addition to pricing and promotional efforts, we’ve focused on driving traffic into our stores by expanding assortment with high quality flower and delivering an elevated customer experience. The New Mexico regulatory body has also increased its license enforcement efforts in recent months, contributing to more than 70 store closures and a 33% sequential decrease in net new store openings in the first quarter. We will continue to support the New Mexico Cannabis Control Division as it develops its regulatory framework.”

“Over the past four years we have rapidly scaled our footprint through 13 acquisitions, building a leading retail presence in both Colorado and New Mexico. We are beginning to see positive momentum from our pricing and promotional strategy and will remain focused on driving operating efficiencies while further optimizing our assets as we consolidate cultivation facilities and eliminate underperforming stores that do not meet our high-margin thresholds. We believe these initiatives, coupled with our operating playbook and strict cost controls, will enable us to return to stronger levels of profitability moving forward.”

First Quarter 2024 Financial Summary

  • Announced the grand opening of a medical and recreational dispensary in March under the Everest Apothecary banner in Las Cruces, New Mexico, increasing the Company’s retail footprint to 34 stores across the state.
  • Increased wholesale penetration in the first quarter to more than 30% of total doors in Colorado and New Mexico.
  • Lowell Herb Co. pre-roll sales increased more than 3x quarter-over-quarter in Colorado, where it continues to be the #1 pre-roll in the state.
  • Wana gummy sales up more than 2x quarter-over-quarter in New Mexico.

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Total revenue in the first quarter of 2024 increased 4% to $41.6 million compared to $40.0 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to growth from new stores compared to the prior year period, partially offset by continued pricing pressure and the proliferation of new licenses in New Mexico.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2024 was $17.9 million or 43.1% of total revenue, compared to $21.8 million or 54.6% of total revenue for the same quarter last year. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by the aforementioned pricing pressure in New Mexico, as well as higher medical sales mix in Colorado.

____________________________
1 Q4 2023 Gross Profit includes one-time, non-cash inventory adjustments of approximately $13.1 million comprised of $3.1 million of product consolidation, obsolescence, and shrinkage expenses, $4.3 million of net realizable value adjustments, and $5.8 million of fair value adjustments on acquired inventory in New Mexico in 2023. 
2  Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure as defined by the SEC, and represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted for other income, non-cash share-based compensation, one-time transaction related expenses, or other non-operating costs. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as it believes it better explains the results of its core business. See “ADJUSTED EBITDA RECONCILIATION (NON-GAAP)” section herein for an explanation and reconciliations of non-GAAP measure used throughout this release.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 were $20.6 million compared to $16.2 million for the same quarter last year. The year-ago period benefitted from a payroll tax credit of $3.9M. The remaining increase was primarily driven by personnel expenses and four-wall SG&A costs associated with 21 additional stores in Colorado and New Mexico that are still ramping.

Loss from operations for the first quarter of 2024 was $2.7 million compared to income from operations of $5.6 million in the same quarter last year. Net loss was $16.1 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to net income of $1.7 million for the same quarter last year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2024 was $7.3 million compared to $14.5 million for the same quarter last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by lower gross margin and higher operating expenses associated with the 21 additional stores that are still ramping.

As of March 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $13.2 million compared to $19.2 million on December 31, 2023. Total debt as of March 31, 2024, was $159.7 million compared to $156.8 million on December 31, 2023.

Fiscal Year Results. Management reported revenue of CAD$4.7 million for the year from CAD$6,479 last year. This is due to fees earned from technology license, evaluation, and collaboration agreements. The Company had a net loss of CAD$676,940, or a loss of $0.01 per share, from a loss of CAD$5.6 million or $0.11 last year, with the improvement from the increased revenue.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow. MustGrow ended the year with CAD$6.8 million in cash, slightly down from CAD$7.0 million last year. The Company used CAD$294,764 in CFFO, an improvement from a use of CAD$3.3 million last year. The improvement was due to the revenue from fees earned. Barring any additional revenue, we estimate that the Company currently has an approximate 15-month runaway before needing new capital.

A Challenging Year. 2023 was a challenging year in both the Colorado and New Mexico markets highlighted by increasing competition and a supply/demand imbalance. In spite of the conditions, Schwazze continued to outperform the markets, a testament to management’s operating playbook, in our view.

4Q23. Revenue totaled $43.2 million, up from $40.1 million in 4Q22, but down sequentially reflecting typical seasonality. We had forecast $44.8 million. Driven by some one time charges, Schwazze reported a net loss of $30.9 million in 4Q23, or a loss of $0.43 per share, compared to a loss of $29.8 million, or a loss of $0.57 per share, last year. We had estimated a net loss of $10.1 million, or a loss of $0.13 per share.

Release – Schwazze Announces Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2023 Financial Results

Research News and Market Data on SHWZ

March 27, 2024

PDF Version

 FY 2023 Revenue of $172.4 Million; Income from Operations of $3.3 Million; Adjusted EBITDA of $53.4 Million or 31% of Revenue

 Generated $12.2 Million of Operating Cash Flow in FY 2023

DENVER, March 27, 2024 /CNW/ – Medicine Man Technologies, Inc., operating as Schwazze, (OTCQX: SHWZ) (Cboe: SHWZ) (“Schwazze” or the “Company”), today announced financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

“This past year, the Schwazze team delivered solid top-line growth in two highly competitive markets with 31% adjusted EBITDA margins and improved operating cash flow,” said Forrest Hoffmaster, Interim CEO of Schwazze. “We continued to sharpen our retail strategy while expanding our store footprint by more than 50% to 63 dispensaries across our two markets. Although the Colorado and New Mexico markets were pressured in 2023, we have built a solid foundation with best-in-class service for our patients and customers. Internally, we are also relentlessly focused on maximizing the operating efficiencies of our manufacturing and cultivation facilities to drive higher yields, improved flower quality, and greater output.”

“With strong demand and over 680 recreational retail stores at year-end, the competitive landscape in Colorado is fierce, underscoring the importance of our investments in and attention to elevating the customer experience. We significantly outpaced the market in Q4 on a sequential and year-over-year basis and expect to bolster our growth through improvements in customer acquisition, retention, and loyalty, as well as in the overall retail experience. Additionally, we are beginning to see wholesale pricing stabilize, which we anticipate will continue based on plant counts and ongoing retail pricing pressure.”

“In New Mexico, the proliferation of new licenses has led to increased competition and aggressive pricing strategies from certain players. Cannabis sales in the state were up 18% across a store base that was over 50% higher year-over-year in Q4, leading to lower average revenue per store. While we are beginning to see a slow-down in net new store openings, we anticipate a challenging market ahead. We remain focused on cost optimization and asset utilization while implementing a balanced pricing and promotional strategy to drive traffic into our stores, where we believe we excel in delivering an elevated retail experience. We are committed to fulfilling our promise of being the retailer of choice in New Mexico.”

“Looking ahead, we are optimistic about the regulatory momentum in the industry at large. In the meantime, we will continue to elevate the customer experience, improve our loyalty program, increase our cost efficiencies, and enhance our retail assets. Our team has a demonstrated track record of executing in competitive markets like Colorado and New Mexico where we remain one of the largest operators. We look forward to driving growth and profitability across each of our markets in 2024.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased 8% to $43.3 million compared to $40.1 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to growth from new stores compared to the prior year period and increased wholesale revenue, partially offset by pricing pressure from the proliferation of new licenses in New Mexico.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $7.0 million or 16.2% of total revenue, compared to $21.7 million or 54.1% of total revenue for the same quarter last year. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by one-time, non-cash inventory adjustments of approximately $13.1 million comprised of $3.1 million of product consolidation, obsolescence, and shrinkage expenses, $4.3 million of net realizable value adjustments, and $5.8 million of fair value adjustments on acquired inventory in New Mexico in 2023. Adjusted gross profit, which excludes non-cash inventory adjustments, for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $20.2 million or 46.6% of revenue.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $23.3 million compared to $24.2 million for the same quarter last year. The decrease was primarily due to a lower impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2023. This was partially offset by an increase in four-wall SG&A expenses associated with the 22 additional stores in Colorado and New Mexico that are still ramping, as well as greater salaries and stock-based compensation.

Loss from operations for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $16.2 million compared to $2.5 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease was driven by the aforementioned lower gross profit, primarily related to the non-cash inventory adjustment. Net loss was $33.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $27.3 million for the same quarter last year.

Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $11.0 million or 25.3% of revenue, compared to $13.3 million or 33.1% of revenue for the same quarter last year. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by higher operating expenses associated with the 22 additional stores that are still ramping.

As of December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents were $19.2 million compared to $38.9 million on December 31, 2022. Total debt as of December 31, 2023, was $156.8 million compared to $127.8 million on December 31, 2022.
