Medicine Man Technologies Announces Record Second Quarter 2019 Results

DENVER, Aug. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Medicine Man Technologies, Inc. (OTCQX: MDCL) ("Medicine Man Technologies" or the "Company"), today provided the financial results for its second quarter of 2019.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company generated revenue of $1,757,819, an increase of approximately 24%, as compared to revenue of $1,417,687 in the three months ending June 30, 2018. Product sales grew 249%, from $380,699 to $1,331,979.

The Company reported cost of goods and services totaling $1,086,413 during the three months ended June 30, 2019. This is compared to $380,396 during the same time period in 2018. This rise in cost is due to increased sales of product and increased salaries and related employment costs related to the sale of product.

Operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2019, were $9,014,276 ($7,249,982 non-cash charge), as compared to $884,119 for the same period prior year. Increased operating expenses during this three-month period were primarily due to non-cash, stock-based compensation charges of $2,225,406 and derivative liability charges of $5,024,576.  When ignoring these non-cash charges, the second quarter's operating loss improved sequentially to ($1,092,888) from the first quarter's net loss of ($2,228,027). This improvement was largely due to lower professional services expenses in the second quarter.

The Company reported net loss related to the three months ending June 30, 2019 of $8,822,650 or equivalent to ($0.30) per share, as compared to a net income of $181,692 for the three months ending June 30, 2018. The aforementioned non-cash stock-based compensation and derivative liability charges collectively accounted for ($7,249,982) of the net loss. 

The Company's cash balance as of June 30, 2019, was $4,347,495, as compared to $699,979 as of March 31, 2019. The increased cash position was due primarily to the equity investment by strategic partner Dye Capital & Company.

"The second quarter of 2019 has proven to be quite foundational for the Company, as we continue to strengthen our positioning through the entry into binding term sheets for three additional proposed acquisitions, the addition of key management and Board of Directors personnel, and an eight-figure investment from strategic investment partner , Dye Capital & Company," said Andy Williams, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Medicine Man Technologies. "From an operating viewpoint, the second quarter's positive sequential trends in gross margin and normalized operating expenses are encouraging as we increased our product sales and recognized economies of scale. Our key strategy is to become a vertically integrated global operator in the cannabis industry and deliver the best products through leading cultivation, extraction, and manufacturing methods. I'm very pleased to say that we accomplished this goal through our second-quarter 2019 corporate developments. We look forward to the quarters ahead and closing on all our pending acquisitions."
