cbdMD Reports Fiscal September 30, 2020 Results

Fiscal Year Net Sales Increased 77% To Record $41.9 Million

e-Commerce Direct-to-Consumer Sales Jump 106% to $30.5 Million

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--()--cbdMD, Inc. (NYSE American: YCBD, YCBDpA), one of the nation’s leading and most highly trusted and recognized cannabidiol (CBD) brands, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2020.

Commenting on today’s results, Chairman and co-CEO Martin A. Sumichrast said, “We believe cbdMD is now one of the most successful CBD companies in world, with two of the most recognized and valuable CBD brands, cbdMD and Paw CBD. We are committed to continuing to deliver on our financial goals. We have grown quarterly sales over 900% in eight fiscal quarters. We have remained focused on our core competency, which is e-commerce direct-to-consumer sales, which increased to $30.5 million, or 73% of total net sales in fiscal 2020, a 106% increase from the prior year. We have also maintained one of the strongest balance sheets in the CBD industry and we believe we have more than ample enough capital to execute on our 2021 strategy. In fact, we have recently more than doubled our liquidity, which now stands today at approximately $30 million in cash, with virtually no debt. To put this into context, we built two brands in two years with less cash than we have in the bank today. In addition, we dramatically reduced our non-GAAP adjusted loss from operations from over $10 million in the first half of fiscal 2020 to approximately $1.3 million in the second half of fiscal 2020. Earlier this year we set a goal of achieving positive adjusted operating income during calendar year 2020, a non-GAAP financial measure. We are presently confident we will reach this milestone in early fiscal 2021. However, based upon marketing opportunities that may arise during the year, achieving this goal may be extended later into the fiscal year. While we have not committed to any financial guidance, we do expect continued robust sales growth in fiscal 2021.”

Financial Highlights:

Fiscal 2020:

  • Net sales increased by 77% year-over-year to a record of $41.9 million in fiscal 2020, from $23.6 million in fiscal 2019.
  • Our gross profit margin increased to 63% in fiscal 2020 from 61% in fiscal 2019. Our non-GAAP adjusted gross margin totaled 67.7% for fiscal 2020, after approximately $2.2 million in non-cash inventory adjustments for the year, as compared to 61% for fiscal 2019.
  • Our loss from operations was $17.6 million in fiscal 2020 as compared to $14.8 million in fiscal 2019, of which approximately $11.7 million, or 67%, was recorded in the first half of fiscal 2020 and approximately $5.8 million was recorded in the second half of the fiscal year.
  • Our non-GAAP adjusted loss from operations in fiscal 2020 was approximately $11.5 million, of which $10.2 million, or 89%, was recorded in the first half of fiscal 2020, and approximately $1.3 million, or 11%, was recorded for the second half of the fiscal year. Our non-GAAP adjusted loss from operations in fiscal 2019 was approximately $11.5 million.
  • Net income attributable to common shareholders for fiscal 2020 was approximately $12.2 million, or $0.28 per share, as compared to a net loss for fiscal 2019 of approximately $50.4 million, or $2.82 per share. The increase in fiscal 2020 was principally attributable to a decrease of approximately $29.8 million in the non-cash contingent liability which is associated with earnout shares which may be issued under the terms of the December 2018 acquisition of Cure Based Development (which owned the cbdMD brand).
  • At September 30, 2020, we had working capital of approximately $16.0 million and cash on hand of approximately $14.8 million as compared to working capital of approximately $12 million and cash on hand of approximately $4.7 million at September 30, 2019. Our working capital position has been further bolstered subsequent to year end following our receipt of approximately $15.8 million in net proceeds from our December 2020 sale of shares of our 8.0% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock in a firm commitment underwritten public offering. As a result, as of today we have approximately $30 million in cash on hand.
  • We reported record e-commerce, direct to consumer (DTC) net sales of $30.5 million, or 73% of total net sales in fiscal 2020, an increase of $15.6 million, or 106% increase from fiscal 2019.
  • Our CBD pet brand, Paw CBD, reported approximately $4.5 million in net sales in fiscal 2020, which was the brand’s first full fiscal year.

For the Quarter Ended September 30, 2020:

  • Our net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 increased by 23% year-over-year to a record of $11.7 million from $9.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.
  • Our gross profit margin for the quarter decreased to 54% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 from 57% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, which was principally attributable to an approximate $1.66 million in non-cash inventory adjustment during the quarter. Our non-GAAP adjusted gross margin totaled 68% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to approximately 57% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.
  • Our loss from operations was approximately $4.5 million compared to $5.2 million from the prior year’s quarter.
  • Our non-GAAP adjusted operating loss was approximately $1.06 million, compared to a $4.1 million non-GAAP adjusted operating loss from the prior year’s quarter.
  • We reported record fourth quarter fiscal 2020 e-commerce, direct to consumer (DTC) net sales of $8.6 million, an increase of $3.2 million, or 58%, from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.
  • Our pet brand, Paw CBD, which was launched in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 reported approximately $1.67 million in net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains certain forward-looking statements that are based upon current expectations and involve certain risks and uncertainties within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as ''should,'' ''may,'' ''intends,'' ''anticipates,'' ''believes,'' ''estimates,'' ''projects,'' ''forecasts,'' ''expects,'' ''plans,'' and ''proposes.'' These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider any cautionary statements and other disclosures, including the statements made under the heading "Risk Factors" in cbdMD, Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and our other filings with the SEC. All forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, many of which are generally outside the control of cbdMD, Inc. and are difficult to predict. cbdMD, Inc. does not undertake any duty to update any forward-looking statements except as may be required by law. The information which appears on our websites and our social media platforms, including, but not limited to, Instagram and Facebook, is not part of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain financial measures that exclude the impact of certain items and therefore have not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). cbdMD, Inc. has included adjusted income (loss) from operations and adjusted gross profit because management uses these measures to assess operating performance, in order to highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The adjusted income (loss) from operations and the adjusted gross profit margin have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) from operations and gross profit as indicators of our operating performance. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures, as presented by cbdMD, Inc., may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. cbdMD, Inc. has attached to this press release a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
