 How #Retail and #Ecommerce #CBD Outlets are Generating Revenue - (OTC: $HIPH) (OTC: $PURA) (OTC: $MCOA) (OTCQB: $RMHB) (TSX: CRON.TO) (NASDAQ: $CRON)

Point Roberts WA, Delta, BC –August 15, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot focusing on the growth of retail and e-commerce CBD sales in the US which are beginning to generate early revenues for hemp/CBD companies.

A recent article in Forbes discussed the uptake of retail sales in the CBD space. “The CBD market is moving towards mainstream retailers and is projected to be over $20 billion in sales by 2024. Walgreens, Sprout, CVS, Ulta Beauty, GNC Holdings, Urban Outfitters are just a handful of retailers offering or looking to offer, CBD products to consumers.”


Cronos Group ( TSX: CRON) (NASDAQ:CRON) , a Toronto-based marijuana company, predicts CBD customers in the United States will be the “largest contributor” to its sales over the next couple of years.

The comments came as Cronos released its first earnings report since the company announced plans to spend $300 million in the U.S. hemp market through the acquisition of four operating subsidiaries of Los Angeles-based Redwood Holding Group.

“It’s fair to estimate that the U.S. CBD market will likely be the largest contributor (to sales) over the next year or two,” Cronos CEO, Michael Gorenstein said.

American Premium Water Corporation (OTC: HIPH) announced that it is reaffirming its $1 million revenue guidance for fiscal year 2019. The projection is based on existing orders and future orders in the Company’s pipeline from its LALPINA CBD water, partnerships and co-branded product leveraging the Company’s proprietary Hydro-Nano technology, expanded distribution of Vanexxe, and other initiatives in the pipeline; a more comprehensive breakdown:

      Two-Container Order: the Company received a two-container order from a distributor in the UK. The Company has begun delivery of order
      US Distributors: the Company is in discussions with distributors in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Florida, California, Missouri, Nevada, Arizona and Oklahoma.
      International Distribution: The Company is engaged in discussion with distributors in Mexico, Columbia, Australia and Thailand
      CBD Pet Water: The Company’s joint venture with LinkRes Pets is slated to launch for sale this August
      Hanlons Brewery: the Company is finalizing testing with Hanlons Brewery and is looking to roll-out the CBD infused beer by the start of the 4th quarter
      THC Formulation: the Company is looking to launch its THC version of its proprietary Hydro Nano formulation by the end of this year in California
      Vanexxe: the Company is in discussions with several big box retailers for retail and e-commerce distribution.
      Partnerships and JVs: the Company has been engaged in working with other partners on marketing, branding, and distribution in the CBD and non-CBD sectors.        

American Premium Water Corporation CEO, Ryan Fishoff, commented: “The Company is confident that it will achieve its $1million revenue guidance for the year. Our goal is to surpass this number and I believe we are on track to accomplish this. Despite the volatility in the market, nothing has changed; the Company remains committed to executing its business plan and achieving short and long term benchmarks. We have begun the two year audit with Weinberg & Co. and are working towards becoming fully reporting by the end of the year. There is a lot in the pipeline; management is working feverishly to get all these initiatives off the ground as investments that the Company has made in acquisitions, intellectual capital, and products are beginning to pay off. Aside from everything that’s been discussed in the public domain, there are other partnership and acquisition discussions that are currently underway. It’s a very exciting time for the Company; as progress is made, I look forward to updating shareholders on developments as soon as I’m able to.”

Puration, Inc. (OTC: PURA) and Kali-Extracts recently confirmed adding CBD infused tea to its new line of CBD beverage partnerships. 

Last week, PURA and KALY published a management presentation to provide shareholders with more details on PURA’s recently implemented program to introduce CBD infused versions of existing third-party beverages.  PURA has recently announced plans to introduce a CBD infused beer in partnership with an existing beer producer.  In similar fashion, PURA is partnering with an existing coffee producer to introduce a CBD infused coffee.  In conjunction with the presentation published last week, PURA announced a third partnership to develop CBD infused tea. Additional partnerships are in the works. 

PURA is a leading CBD infused beverage company having produced over $1 million in CBD beverages in the United States last year.  PURA has targeted $4 million in sales for 2019.  The presentation is included in its entirety on the company’s website.

PURA works closely with its partner KALY, the owner of a US-Patented cannabis extraction process in the implementation of the plan to introduce infused versions of existing beverages.

MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA INC.  (OTC: MCOA), an innovative hemp and cannabis corporation, and joint venture partner Global Hemp Group Inc. announced that their joint venture subsidiary, Covered Bridge Acres Ltd. has started generating revenue through operations at its hemp farm in Scio, Oregon.

Through a combination of the sales of raw biomass, plantlets, CBD crude oil and CBD distillate produced from various processing test runs, along with other farm operations, CBA generated $525,500 in its first year of operation.

In its most recent transaction, CBA sold 10,000 lbs of shucked biomass to an Oregon extraction facility for $400,000. The CBA team is currently working with this party and a number of others, to complete the purchase of the remaining inventory.

Initially, CBA was expecting to monetize the 2018 hemp biomass after entering into a processing agreement with Richardson Gap Farm LLC (RGF), as disclosed on May 18, 2019. However, RGF was unable to process CBA’s biomass due to unforeseen issues with its processing equipment. Although RGF produces high quality distillate, CBA was no longer willing to delay the monetization of its biomass any further and decided to sell the biomass to another extractor. With multiple offers on the table to purchase the biomass, CBA shucked the biomass (removed stalks and stems) and completed the sale.

CBA still has approximately 4,000 lbs of un-shucked biomass out for processing into distillate by additional extractors, and will split the final product on a 50/50 basis with its joint venture partner, Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (OTC: MCOA). Once processed, it will be sold along with inventory on hand (8 kg of 92% distillate that was processed by RGF from crude oil CBA received from other processors test runs). Recent sales of this type of distillate have been in the $4,000 per kg range.

Innovation and mechanization are key components to reducing labor costs on the farm. In preparation for the handling of this year’s harvest, the CBA team specifically designed a shucking machine to remove the flowers and leaves from the stalk and stems and is in the process of fabricating a prototype, having reserved a small amount of biomass to test the equipment. Once shucked, the biomass will be processed into distillate for sale on the open market later this summer.

Rocky Mountain High Brands, Inc. (OTCQB: RMHB), a fully reporting lifestyle brand management Company specializing in high-quality health and wellness products, announced that it has entered into an agreement with Water Event Pure Water Solutions of Carrollton, Texas to distribute hemp-derived CBD products to its expanding 15,000 home, office and retail customer base.

Established in 1971, Water Event is independently owned and operated by Brian Rose, who has been in the home and office water delivery business for over 34 years. The corporate office, manufacturing facility and retail store are in Carrollton, Texas. The company also operates warehouse distribution facilities in Houston, Austin, and Sherman/Denison. Water Event is also in the water filtration and water bottling business.

Michael Welch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rocky Mountain High Brands said, “Water Event’s fleet of delivery trucks service 15,000 customers in the highest population growth areas in Texas, including Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, Austin/San Marcos, San Antonio, and Sherman/Dennison. Their customers include office buildings, residential homes and select retail establishments. The Company’s agreement with Water Event includes our HEMPd Wellness for Life Products:

      Tinctures
      Water Soluble Solution
      Capsules
      Gummies
      Salve
      Lotion
as well as our HEMPd CBD-Infused Flavored Waters, our Rocky Mountain Hemp Seed Extract-Infused beverages, and our Rocky Mountain High Hemp-Infused Energy drinks.”
Mr. Welch continued, “Water Event has solidified its place as the premier home and office delivery service in Texas because of their quality of products and extraordinary customer service. For us to be able to sell our hemp-derived CBD products alongside someone with Mr. Rose’s credentials and customer base puts us on the forefront of a rapidly growing Texas market.”

Mr. Welch concluded, “We are pleased to have the opportunity to expand our relationship with Water Event and Mr. Rose. In fact, we have our next bottling run of Eagle Spirit Spring Water scheduled for the week of August 5, 2019 at Water Event.”

Brian Rose, owner of Water Event, stated, “Now that Texas has passed a law allowing the sale of CBD oil, there is a tremendous opportunity in this exciting product category. It is important to have the right CBD products on my trucks. I chose Rocky Mountain High Brands due to their high standards and involvement with the U.S. Hemp Roundtable and that gives me confidence that their products are safe, legal, and are some of the best in the industry. By partnering with Rocky Mountain High Brands, Water Event is harnessing the expertise and capabilities of a dynamic young hemp company to accelerate my company’s growth.”

As more retailers look to expand their CBD offerings and as brand awareness builds for online sales we should start to see if market projections meet reality over the next 4 quarters and if the revenue predictions based off of early demand will hold and rise as is expected.

The Growing #CBD #Beverage Market Drinking Up Revenues (OTC: $HIPH) (NASDAQ: $NBEV) (TSX: $TGOD.TO) (NYSE: $HEXO)


The Growing #CBD #Beverage Market Drinking Up Revenues (OTC: $HIPH) (NASDAQ: $NBEV) (TSX: $TGOD.TO) (NYSE: $HEXO)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC –August 13, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot reporting on recent news and developments in the CBD beverage sector.

The future of the beverage market is clearly pointing to the cannabis industry.  A recent Forbes article sums it up, “Cannabis drinks are already big business, and they’re growing fast. When people think about cannabis, the first thing that comes to mind is usually smoking it, then vaping it or eating it inside an edible. Until recently, the idea of drinking cannabis wasn’t really on most people’s radars. But that’s starting to change”

American Premium Water Corporation (OTC: HIPH), known for its LALPINA CBD water, just reported today that the two-container order the Company received earlier this year is on track for delivery in September. This order will generate over $200,000 in topline revenue. Due to ongoing fluctuations in the British Pound, the final sale amount from this order will be realized at delivery according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).



American Premium Water Corporation CEO, Ryan Fishoff stated: “The Company continues to execute its business plan. With completion of financing from this delivery and other sales and revenue initiatives, I am confident that the Company will surpass its most recent guidance of $1 million in revenue for the 2019 fiscal year. The Company is focused on deriving roughly 50% of revenue from outside the US; this order will help guide us to that benchmark. The Company is generating revenue from other outlets, with larger transactions in the pipeline, which has given us the confidence to reaffirm guidance, including our JV with Hanlons Brewery.” (www.hanlonsbrewery.com)

“We are focusing all our energies and efforts into exceeding the $1 million revenue target and we’re confident that we may very well exceed it. We are also moving full steam ahead with our audit, led by our retained auditors Weinberg & Co. (http://www.weinbergla.com/), and once that is complete, begin the process to uplist. There are a lot of exciting initiatives in the pipeline; I look forward to sharing updates with the investor community on these and other developments in the near future.”

The company also reports, “LALPINA CBD water can now be purchased online by visiting https://www.singleseed.com/product/lalpina-cbd-water-6-pack/

NEW AGE BEVERAGES CORPORATION (NASDAQ: NBEV) reported on August 8th,  “record financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019. The Company achieved record sales, with net revenue reaching $66.3 million versus a prior year of $13.4 million, a growth of 397%.”

According to Zack’s Research, New Age Beverages is benefiting from strength in its portfolio of brands. This also includes the enhancement of cannabis-infused beverage portfolio.
Additionally, the company is on track to expand its core brand portfolio. It is likely to gain from its strategic buyouts such as the Morinda acquisition. Notably, it is in the process of integrating Morinda into New Age. This acquisition was completed on Dec 21, 2018.

Furthermore, New Age Beverages has been strengthening its foothold in the e-commerce distribution system. Moreover, it is focused on accelerating business in the second half of 2019 by strengthening organic growth, with the launch of CBD portfolio, expanding core brands’ national distribution in the United States, and a number of other initiatives in the second quarter and throughout the rest of 2019.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
Net revenue reached an all-time high of $66.3 million, up 397% over Q2 2018 and a 14% increase sequentially from Q1 2019.
Gross margins increased to 63% compared to 13% in the prior year quarter.
Achieved positive Adjusted EBITDA compared to a loss of $2.2 million in Q2 2018 and a net loss of $11.7 million during Q2 2019.
Maintained strong Balance Sheet with cash of $83.6 million and positive working capital of $57.8 million
“We are pleased with our second quarter operating results, which again exceeded our guidance in revenue and positive Adjusted EBITDA,” stated Brent Willis, Chief Executive Officer of New Age Beverages. “We finished the quarter strong and believe that we will see good organic growth in the second half of 2019. With the strength of our balance sheet and the improved sales and marketing capabilities that we added with the Brands Within Reach acquisition, we believe we are building excellent momentum for continued improved operating performance in the back half of the year.”

On July 29th, HEXO Corp (TSX: HEXO) (NYSE: HEXO) reported its  cannabis products are now available to Alberta consumers for the first time after finalizing an agreement between HEXO and Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC).

Continued: The agreement provides AGLC with HEXO’s nine dried flower products and award-winning Elixir oral sprays, making them available at the Alberta Cannabis online store and to all of the nearly 200 private retail stores in the province.

“This agreement marks the latest achievement in the development of HEXO’s presence in Western Canada and our goal to be top two in market-share in the country,” said HEXO Corp CEO and co-founder, Sebastien St-Louis. “Alberta represents one of the largest cannabis markets in Canada and we are thrilled to see our products are available to Albertans across the province.”

With HEXO and Up Cannabis brands, HEXO products are available in nine provinces, expanding the Company’s footprint in Canada and providing more choice for consumers.
Hexo made headlines last year with its partnership with Molson Coors announcing “Molson Coors Canada and HEXO Announce Agreement to Create Joint Venture Focused on Non-Alcoholic, Cannabis-Infused Beverages for the Canadian Market.”

In a recent CTV news interview  Gavin Hattersley, who currently heads the MillerCoors US operations, said. “The company intends to discuss at its next quarterly call the brands of Truss non-alcoholic cannabis-infused beverages that its joint venture partner marijuana producer Hexo Corp. will begin to sell after the product is legalized later this year.”

“Mark Hunter said Molson Coors dipped its toes in the cannabis space a year ago to "be on the playing field" as demand for these beverages expands to other geographies, including the United States once "legislative complications" are addressed. Marijuana is illegal in the U.S. at the federal level, but many in the space believe the political winds are shifting.”

The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (TGODF) expects to release its second quarter 2019 earnings today, Tuesday, August 13, 2019 after market close. The Company will hold a conference call conducted by Brian Athaide, Chief Executive Officer, and Sean Bovingdon, Chief Financial Officer, on August 14, 2019 at 9:00 am Eastern Time to discuss the results and future outlook.

The company also just recently announced that it has submitted an application to list its common shares on the NASDAQ. This followed news that that it successfully renewed its Health Canada licences for the Company's Ancaster, Ontario facility until August 2022.  As per the Cannabis Regulations, these licences authorize TGOD to cultivate, process and sell cannabis from its Ancaster site.

In May they reported the Company's strategic investment into the US beverage space as a co-founding investor and strategic partner in the newly formed Califormulations LLC ("Califormulations"). Califormulations will operate out of Columbus, Georgia serving global branded companies with concept-to-shelf beverage commercialization support including formulation development, technical services, in-house pilot scale production and contract manufacturing co-ordination. TGOD will work with Califormulations to expedite the US launch of TGOD branded organic hemp-based CBD beverages, as local laws and regulations permit.

"We are incredibly excited to partner with Califormulations to further our development of hemp-based CBD beverage products," said Brian Athaide, CEO of TGOD. "With the US market for functional beverages, including wellness, energy and sport recovery, currently worth over USD$20 billion, we want to remain on the cutting edge of innovation and establish the foundation for future proprietary and novel TGOD-branded products. TGOD strives to partner with established industry leaders, and we believe that this forward-looking strategic partnership positions TGOD to capitalize on the future cannabinoid beverage market."

The recent mass exodus of key executives from the food and beverage sector to take leading roles in the cannabis industry points to the future of beverages; drinking up the profits of a new era in the sector.
