cbdMD Reports Fiscal Year Net Sales Increased 6.2% To Record $44.5 Million

cbdMD, Inc. (NYSE American: YCBD, YCBDpA), one of the nation’s leading and most highly trusted and recognized CBD companies, and operator of three of the leading CBD brands -- its flagship brand cbdMD, its animal health brand Paw CBD and its beauty and skincare brand cbdMD Botanicals, -- today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.

“Next week is the three-year anniversary of our company entering the CBD industry with the acquisition of Cure Based Development, the owner of our flagship brand, cbdMD. It’s also the three-year anniversary of the passage of the Farm Bill, which de-criminalized CBD in the US. In three short years we have grown from an unknown start-up brand competing against thousands of other CBD brands, outpacing the pack to firmly positioned at the top of CBD industry, with our three leading brands,” said Chairman and co-CEO, Martin A. Sumichrast.

“According to the Brightfield Group, the US CBD market experienced its most challenging year in 2021, with year-over-year growth rates expected to be nearly flat at 2.5%. Despite this anemic industry growth, cbdMD was able to outpace the industry average and record fiscal 2021 net sales of over 6% and gross sales of over 10% as compared to fiscal 2020. We were able to maintain our product pricing and firm up our product purchasing which resulted in an increase to our gross profit margin to a record high of 67% in fiscal 2021, from 63% in 2020. While our fiscal 2021 loss from operations was $19.6 million, we were able to reduce our non-GAAP adjusted operating loss by 6%. However, slower than anticipated sales in the second half of our fiscal year, our increased marketing costs in the first half of the fiscal year, (which have now been reduced), coupled with our investment into our therapeutics division, resulted in a GAAP operating loss for the fiscal 2021. While we are now seeing an increase in consumer demand as we enter our fiscal 2022 year and are optimistic that calendar 2022 will return to higher sales growth rates as our new products reach our customers and new distribution channels become available, we are withdrawing our previously announced sales guidance for the current quarter ending December 31, 2021. With that said, looking forward, our goal is to continue to outpace the overall industry growth, increase our market share, and achieve positive adjusted EBITDA. For more information about how we intend to achieve these goals, please listen to our earnings call this afternoon,” said Mr. Sumichrast.

Financial Highlights for Fiscal 2021:

Net sales increased by 6% year-over-year to a record of $44.5 million in fiscal 2021, from $41.8 million in fiscal 2020.

Our gross profit margin increased to 67% in fiscal 2021 from 63% in fiscal 2020. Our non-GAAP adjusted gross margin totaled 19.6% for fiscal 2021, as compared to 67.7% for fiscal 2020.

Our loss from operations was $19.6 million in fiscal 2021 as compared to a loss of $17.5 million in fiscal 2020 mostly because of increased in advertising spend and investing in cbdMD Therapeutics.

Our non-GAAP adjusted loss from operations in fiscal 2021 was approximately $13.6. million, compared to our non-GAAP adjusted loss from operations in fiscal 2020 of approximately $11.5 million.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders for fiscal 2021 was approximately $25.9 million, or $0.41 per share, as compared to a net income for fiscal 2020 of approximately $12.2 million, or $0.28 per share. The decrease in fiscal 2021 was principally attributable to an increase of approximately $6.7 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, 2021, we had working capital of approximately $29.6 million and cash on hand of approximately $26.4 million as compared to working capital of approximately $16.0 million and cash on hand of approximately $14.8 million at September 30, 2020.

We reported record e-commerce, direct to consumer (DTC) net sales of $32.9 million, or 74.2% of total net sales in fiscal 2021, an increase of $2.5 million, or 8% increase from fiscal 2020.

Our CBD pet brand, Paw CBD, reported $5.7 million in net sales, a 27% increase in fiscal 2021, as compared to $4.5 million in fiscal 2020.

For the Quarter Ended September 30, 2021:

Our net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased by 16% year-over-year to $9.8 million from $11.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.

Our gross profit margin for the quarter increase to 58.6% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 from 54.4% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.

Our loss from operations was approximately $7.0 million compared to $4.5 million from the prior year’s quarter.

Our non-GAAP adjusted operating loss was approximately $4.8 million, compared to a $1.2 million non-GAAP adjusted operating loss from the prior year’s quarter.

We reported fourth quarter fiscal 2021 e-commerce, direct to consumer (DTC) net sales of $7.2 million, a 15% decrease from $8.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.

Our pet brand, Paw CBD, reported approximately $1.2 million in net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, a decrease of 25% compared to $1.6 million from the prior year’s quarter.

Such forward-looking statements can be identified using 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. 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, 2021 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on December 16, 2021 and our other filings with the SEC.

1 THC-free is defined as below the level of detection using validated scientific analytical methods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes a financial measure that excludes the impact of certain items and therefore has not been calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). cbdMD, Inc. has included adjusted loss from operations because management uses this measure 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 operating loss has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net loss from operations as an indicator of our operating performance. Further, this non-GAAP financial measure, 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 this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
