Earnings Roundup: Next Green, Namaste, Item 9, Indiva

Next Green Reports Q4 Results And Corporate Appointments

Next Green Wave Holdings Inc. NGW NXGWF has generated approximately $4.7 million in revenue, compared to $3.6 million in the prior period and $150,000 in the corresponding quarter of 2019.

The Vancouver, British Columbia-based company posted an Adjusted positive EBITDA of $2.3 million versus a $2.15 million loss in the fourth quarter of last year.

Next Green's earnings report comes on the heels of the company's signing a supply and production deal with the California cannabis brand Cookies.

Some of the fourth quarter highlights include the company's intention to build out an indoor cultivation facility spanning 50,000 square feet adjacent to its 35,000 square foot facility in Coalinga, California.

The company also launched an operation and packaging facility, and made some changes in its management. Next Green appointed lawyer Glen Harder to board chairman, and Todd Hybels — who previously served as facility director — to Chief Operating Officer.

"We transitioned from a startup into a fully-fledged cannabis CPG company that has consistent revenue growth quarter over quarter, is positive cash-flow month after month and has achieved true profitability for the last three quarters," Next Green CEO Michael Jennings commented.

Indiva Revenue Spikes 2000% YoY

Indiva Ltd. NDVA NDVAF anticipates achieving record net revenue between $6.9 to $7.2 million in the last three months of fiscal 2020. That’s a year-over-year increase in revenue of 2,000% and a 128% sequential growth.

The company credited quarterly revenue growth to an increase in sales coming from Wana Sour Gummies, which had an expanded distribution to six provinces and one territory.

The London, Ontario-based company teamed up with Wana Brands in March to bring cannabis-infused products to Canada.

In addition, Indiva inked a distribution deal with Medical Cannabis by Shoppers in the last three months of discal 2020 to bring Bhang Chocolate on its online platform, alongside pot gummies.

The company also said it expects its gross margins in the quarter to surpass fiscal third-quarter levels of 22%.

“The sharp sequential improvement in quarterly revenue and continued gross margin expansion reflects the hard work and dedication of the Indiva team, as well as the strength of our partnerships and quality of our products,” noted Indiva CEO Niel Marotta.
