Decibel Cannabis Company Inc.: Decibel Announces Second Quarter Results

CALGARY, AB, Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Decibel Cannabis Company Inc. (the "Company" or "Decibel") (TSXV: DB) (OTCQB: DBCCF), a market leader in premium cannabis and extract manufactured products, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim financial results for the three and six month period ending June 30, 2024.

"Decibel has shown good discipline reducing our current liabilities by ~5mm this quarter. Market share has been challenged but early indications from Qwest relaunch suggest we will regain market share in flower. A continued focus on execution and capital efficiency will serve as the platform for future growth." said Benjamin Sze, Decibel's Chief Executive Officer.

Second Quarter Highlights

  • National Market Share(1) of 5.6% in Q2 2024, which placed Decibel as the 4th largest licensed producer in Canada by market share.
  • Net Revenue was $22.1 million in the second quarter of 2024, a year over year decrease of 22%. Net revenue decrease driven by increased competition in the infused pre-roll segment, vape consumers switching towards large format 510 cartridges and disposables and the halting of exports to Israel as the Company transitioned to a new distribution partner. Decibel is combatting market share declines with the relaunch of its domestic flower brand Qwest, introduction of large format 510 cartridges and disposables, and Vox brand extension.
  • Gross Margin Before Fair Value Adjustments was 42% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 43% in the second quarter of 2023. The quarter was negatively impacted by a write-down to inventory of $1.4 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA(2) of $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2024, with a year over year decline of 46% over the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA quarter over quarter was primarily driven by a decline in net Canadian recreational sales and international sales.
  • Positive Free Cash Flow(2) of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2024, with a sequential increase of 194% over the second quarter of 2023.
  • Adjusted Net Income(2) of positive $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2024, with a decline of $3.7 million over the second quarter of 2023.
  • Adjusted Earning Per Share ("Adjusted EPS")(3) of $0.00, with a year over year decrease of $0.01.

Non-GAAP Ratios

Adjusted earnings per share (adjusted net income (loss) divided by the number of outstanding shares) is a Non-GAAP ratio, does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company believes that adjusted earnings per share is a useful metric to normalize net income for biological asset accounting impacts.

Supplementary Financial Measures

International Sales is a supplementary financial measure intended to provide a more accurate depiction of international sales earned by the Company's wholesale operations.

Gross Canadian Recreational Sales is a supplementary financial measure intended to provide a more accurate depiction of gross revenue earned by the Company's wholesale operations. Inventory transferred directly from the Company's wholesale operations to the Company's retail operations is added to Gross Canadian Recreational Sales as found in the Financial Statements to arrive at Gross Canadian Recreational Sales.

Net Canadian Recreational Sales is a supplementary financial measure intended to provide a more accurate depiction of net revenue earned by the Company's wholesale operations. Inventory transferred directly from the Company's wholesale operations to the Company's retail operations is added to Net Canadian Recreational Sales as found in the Financial Statements to arrive at Net Canadian Recreational Sales.
