Company Remains On Schedule with Acquisition Strategy to Roll-up Colorado Cannabis Operators

Company Revenue Increases 31% in 2019 Year Over Year

DENVER--()--Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. (OTCQX: MDCL) ("Medicine Man Technologies" or "the Company") today provided a company update and announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year 2019.

“As we respond to these complex, unprecedented times, our thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by the coronavirus pandemic. On behalf of Medicine Man Technologies, we thank the frontline workers for their heroic courage and are heartened by our country’s spirit and our community’s togetherness. We are grateful for our healthcare providers, government officials, essential businesses and a number of private companies for their tireless work,” said Justin Dye, Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, I would like to recognize our employees and our executive team for their steady leadership and amazing efforts. During this pandemic, we have led with the health of our employees and communities as our top priority and have enacted measures to do our part to slow down the spread of the virus. Finally, we are collaborating with state and local governments to develop and implement rules and regulations for the cannabis industry throughout Colorado. This is an ever-changing situation, but our goal is to protect our patients, recreational consumers, employees and the public.”

Dye continued, “Despite these unique challenges, we continue to be optimistic and confident that 2020 is poised to be a historic year for our Company, employees, shareholders, communities, and above all, customers. We remain on schedule to close the 11 pending acquisitions which will enable us to become one of the largest vertically integrated seed-to-sale operators in the global cannabis industry based on revenue. Collectively, these premier operators generated 2019 pro-forma revenue of $144 million and healthy EBITDA margins. Our team is focused and in a great position to execute our strategy.”

Dye concluded, “We are building a unique, differentiated business with leading brands, talented cannabis pioneers, and an exceptional management team to seize the growth opportunity ahead of us. We believe that the Company is uniquely positioned to be a winner as the cannabis industry experiences consolidation. By combining to create a single publicly traded organization, we can increase the collective efficiencies and profit margin over time. We are eager to realize the full potential of the numerous opportunities ahead of us and excited by the overall growth of our industry.”

Fourth Quarter 2019 Financial Results
Total revenue was $3.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2019, an increase of approximately 54% as compared to $2.1 million in the same period in 2018. All areas of the business rose quarter over quarter, except for litigation revenue.

Cost of goods and services were $2.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to 1.4 million during the same period in 2018. This increase was due primarily to increased costs related to the sale of products.

Gross profit was $1.2 million during the three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $0.8 million during the same period in 2018. Gross profit was relatively unchanged as a percentage of revenue.

Operating expenses were $6.7 million during the three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $1.1 million during the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to $4.1 million in non-cash, stock-based compensation and costs associated with activities related to building an infrastructure to ensure a seamless integration of our numerous pending acquisitions and to help build the proper platform for sustainable growth.

Net loss was $3.4 million for the quarter-ended December 31, 2019, or a loss of approximately $0.10 per share on a basic weighted average, as compared to a net loss of $4.2 million, or a loss of approximately $0.17 per share on a basic weighted average, for the quarter-ended December 31, 2018.

Full Year 2019 Financial Results
Total revenue was $12.4 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, an increase of approximately 31% as compared to $9.4 million in the same period in 2018. All areas of the business rose year over year, except for the one-time sale of the Canadian master license last year for $3.5 million.

Cost of goods and services were $7.6 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $2.6 million during the same period in 2018. This increase was due primarily to increased costs related to the sale of products.

Gross profit was $4.8 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $6.9 million during the same period in 2018. Gross profit declined as percentage of revenue due to the product mix increase in 2019, and the one-time licensing sale in 2018.

Operating expenses were $21.9 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $4.7 million during the same time period in 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to non-cash, stock-based and derivative compensation of $12.7 million and costs associated with activities related to building an infrastructure of $6.8 million to ensure a seamless integration of our numerous pending acquisitions and to help build the proper platform for sustainable growth.

Net loss was $17.0 million for the year-ended December 31, 2019, or a loss of approximately $0.50 per share on a basic weighted average, as compared to net income of $0.9 million, or $0.04 per share on a basic weighted average, for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The Company's had $11.9 million classified as cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2019 as compared to $0.3 million at December 31, 2018, an improvement of $11.6 million.
