VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (FRA: 38G) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (“Sproutly” or the “Company”) today announced the Company’s financial results for the third quarter ended November 30, 2019.

“Our third quarter saw us receive our Flower Sales Licence from Health Canada effective October 16, 2019. That was a key milestone for us as a Company, and we quickly followed that up by signing supply agreements with Alberta and New Brunswick.” said Keith Dolo, Chief Executive Officer of Sproutly. “We were able to execute on shipments to both provinces prior to the end of calendar 2019, providing adult recreational cannabis consumers in both provinces the opportunity to enjoy CALIBER’s craft, indoor-grown Berry White and Lemon Z strains. Our focus now is to execute on these agreements while rightsizing our cost structure in order to move towards positive cash flow and deliver on our plans of becoming a leader in the cannabis infused product category.”

Highlights for the Third Quarter Ended November 30, 2019

• Toronto Herbal Remedies (“THR”) (the Company’s wholly-owned licensed cannabis producer), received its sales license for cannabis flower from Health Canada. The Flower Sales License will allow THR to sell dried cannabis flower products provincially and territorially in Canada through authorised distributors and retailers. The sales will commence through the launch of Sproutly’s premium cannabis brand CALIBER.
• Infusion Biosciences Inc. (“Infusion”) and BNO Holdings Inc. (“BNO Holdings”) developed and verified analytical methods that detect, identify, and measure cannabinoid molecules in water-soluble (“Infuz2O”) and oil preparations (“Bio-Natural Oil”) derived from cannabis and hemp using APP Technology (collectively, the “Developed Analytics”). APP Technology is a patent pending process that uses proprietary reagents to recover naturally occurring water-soluble cannabinoids as well as the cannabis oils.
• The Company expanded its operations with a new manufacturing facility in close proximity to the THR production facility in Scarborough, Ontario. The additional property allows the Company to continue to centralize operations in the Greater Toronto Area, as well as providing manufacturing capabilities for its proprietary reagents, a key input for the APP Technology cannabinoid recovery process.

Subsequent Events

• THR entered into a cannabis standing offer contract with the province of Alberta from Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis (“AGLC”), the province’s wholesaler and operator of Alberta’s only legal online recreational cannabis store, AlbertaCannabis.org. Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, Sproutly will supply AGLC with its indoor grown dried flower products produced from THR, under the Company’s premium cannabis brand ‘CALIBER’.
• THR has also entered into a cannabis supply agreement in the province of New Brunswick through Cannabis NB (“CNB”) as of December 5th, 2019.
• The Company delivered its first shipment of CALIBER flower to both ALGC and CNB, marking its entrance into Canada’s recreational cannabis market.
• The Company has reduced its administrative staff and overhead costs in order to better align expenses with revenues and move closer towards positive cash flow to ensure viability for the Company in the long term.

Management Reorganization

The Company’s President, Mr. Bryan Semkuley, will be transitioning his role to a strategic advisor. Mr. Semkuley’s duties will be assumed by the Company’s CEO, Keith Dolo.

Karin Studer, Chief Operating Officer, is also transition her role in the organization to focus on the regulatory and licensing steps required within Cannabis 2.0 as Sproutly prepares for these products, both internally and within the Moosehead Joint Venture. Dr. Arup Sen, Chief Science Officer, will assume the consolidated role of both Science and Operations at the Ontario facility.

“These changes will allow Sproutly to reduce monthly expenses and create an organization that operates more efficiently. As we ramp up production of our CALIBER Brand, as well as look to the finalization and launch of the Moosehead Joint Venture, this new structure will allow us to operate a leaner organization that can narrowly focus in on driving revenue in 2020.” commented Keith Dolo, CEO of Sproutly Canada Inc.
