This presentation should not be construed as legal, financial or tax advice to any individual, as each individual’s circumstances are different. Readers should consult with their own professional advisors regarding their particular circumstances. The information contained in this presentation is not directed to persons or entities resident in the United States and does not constitute an offer or solicitation of an offer of securities in the United States or in any other jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is not authorized or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements included herein, including those that express management’s expectations or estimates of the Company’s future performance, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Any statements that are contained in this news release that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often identified by terms such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “intend”, “estimate”, “potential” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions regarding the Company’s expected growth, results of operations, performance, industry trends and growth opportunities. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management at this time, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks, uncertainties and contingencies that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Applicable risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to regulatory risks, changes in laws, resolutions and guidelines, market risks, concentration risks, operating history, competition, the possibility that the Company will be unable to successfully integrate businesses and the risks associated with international and foreign operations and the other risks identified under the headings “Risk Factors” in the Company’s final long form prospectus dated January 17, 2019, and “Risks and Uncertainties” in the Company’s management discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2018 and nine months ended September 30, 2019, each as filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The forward-looking statements contained herein reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events, and except as required by law, the Company does not intend, and undertakes no obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect, in particular, new information or future events, or otherwise. FUTURE ORIENTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION To the extent any forward-looking information in this presentation constitutes “future-oriented financial information” or “financial outlooks” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws, such information is being provided to demonstrate the anticipated market penetration and the reader is cautioned that this information may not be appropriate for any other purpose and the reader should not place undue reliance on such future-oriented financial information and financial outlooks. Future-oriented financial information and financial
- utlooks, as with forward-looking information generally, are, without limitation, based on the assumptions and subject to the risks set out above under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements”. The Company’s actual financial position and results of operations may differ
materially from management’s current expectations and, as a result, the Company’s revenue and expenses may differ materially from the revenue and expenses profiles provided in this presentation. Such information is presented for illustrative purposes only and may not be an indication of the Company’s actual financial position or results of operations. USE OF NON IFRS MEASURES This presentation refers to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Branded Unit volume and Branded Servings volume which are non-IFRS financial measures that the Company uses to assess its operating performance. EBITDA is defined as net earnings (loss) before net finance costs, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization expense. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for other non-cash items such as the impact of unrealized fair values, share based compensation expense, impairments, one-time gains and losses, and one-time revenues and expenses. Branded Unit volume represents the number of branded SLANG products sold at retail to a consumer - each Branded Unit represents one finished good. Also included in Branded Units are certain products licensed to, or distributed by our brand licensees (the “SLANG Network”) for which the Company provides marketing support and from the sale of which it derives income. Such licensed products account for a minimal portion of Branded Units’ volume. Branded Serving volume represents the number of times a consumer engages with, or experiences, one of our products. A Branded Serving is a unit of measurement in milligrams (mg) of cannabinoid content delivered to a consumer. SLANG considers 5 mg to be a Branded Serving. This data is furnished to provide additional information and is a non-IFRS measure and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. The Company uses these non-IFRS measures to provide shareholders and others with supplemental measures of its operating
- performance. The Company also believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, frequently use these non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of companies, many of which present similar metrics when reporting their results. As other companies may
calculate these non-IFRS measures differently than the Company, these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We caution readers that Adjusted EBITDA should not be substituted for determining net loss as an indicator of
- perating results, or as a substitute for cash flows from operating and investing activities.
PRO FORMA FIINANCIAL INFORMATION This presentation contains references to pro forma financial information, including pro forma revenues. Pro forma revenues include the revenue for the three month period September June 30, 2019 for each of Arbor Pacific, Inc. (“Arbor”), LBA Global Corporation (“LBA”), NS Holdings Inc. (“NSH”) and Allied Concessions Group (“ACG”). The revenues of these acquisition targets cannot be consolidated, in the case of NSH and ACG, because such acquisitions are under option and, in the case of Arbor and LBA, because such acquisitions have not yet
- closed. Pro forma revenues do not include anticipated costs and expenses to generate such revenue. Completion of the proposed acquisitions of Arbor and LBA and the exercise of the Company’s option and subsequent acquisition of NSH and ACG is subject to, among other
things, the negotiation and execution of definitive acquisition agreements and related documents and the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions precedent to the consummation of such acquisitions (including the receipt of any requisite regulatory and third-party approvals). The Company believes the pro forma results presented provide relevant and useful information for investors because they clarify the Company’s actual operating performance, make it easier to compare the Company’s results with those of other companies and allow investors to review performance in the same way as the Company’s management. Since these measures are not calculated in accordance with IFRS, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, our reported results as indicators of the Company’s performance, and they may not be comparable to similarly named measurements from other companies.
