VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 1, 2021 / 1933 Industries Inc. (the "Company" or "1933 Industries") (CSE:TGIF)(OTCQB:TGIFF), a vertically integrated cannabis consumer packaged goods company, is pleased to announce its second quarter ("Q2 2021") financial results for the period ended January 31, 2021. All amounts expressed are in Canadian dollars.

Financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Detailed information regarding the Company's financial results as well as management's discussion and analysis can be found at https://sedar.com/ and https://1933industries.com/.

Mr. Paul Rosen, Chairman and CEO, Management Commentary

The Company has set as key priorities the goals of achieving profitability, becoming cash-flow positive and building shareholder value. After considerable work undertaken over the last several months, I am pleased to report that the Company is in a stronger financial position today than a year ago. We have laid a strong foundation for long term growth with a strengthened balance sheet, a substantially improved debt-to-equity ratio and the capacity to maximize our output and optimize the quality of our products and assets, which enable us to deliver exceptional consumer experiences.

Over the reporting period, the Company continued to make progress in improving and streamlining operations in an effort to right-size costs, improve the balance sheet and drive revenue, resulting in significant improvements in net loss, gross margins, expenses and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company's focus has been to bring its assets into continuous production, develop premium strains, expand its extraction capacities, expand distribution for its CBD line, and improve margins. The Company has continued to minimize non-revenue generating costs and is carefully managing its cash position.

During Q2 2021, the Company expanded the output of premium flower and concentrates resulting in record sales in January 2021. Revenues increased by 27% from the previous quarter, demonstrating the strength of local demand for cannabis products in Nevada, where we see favourable market conditions for years to come. Management will continue to grow market share in its core market as a leading wholesaler of craft cannabis products. The loss of tourism in Las Vegas due to COVID-19 and the impact of the pandemic on brick-and-mortar retail across the US had an effect on Canna Hemp™ sales. The Company believes that growth of the brand will come from its e-commerce efforts and will continue to build on its online presence. Management expects that the benefits of these operational efficiencies and expanded sales networks will result in substantial improvements that will be realized in fiscal 2021.

Q2 2021 Financial Highlights

(i) These figures have been re-stated from SEDAR filed financial statements and MD&A to conform with current period presentation of discontinued operations.

Operating Results

• Total revenue for Q2 2021 was $3.4 million and $6.1 million for the six months ended January 31, 2021 compared to $3.1 million in Q2 2020 and $7.0 million for the same period last year. The Company reports a 27% improvement in revenue from the previous quarter, largely attributed to increased sale of Alternative Medicine Association ("AMA") branded cannabis products. During the reporting period, the Company focused on increasing the production and sale of premium smokable flower and pre-rolls, which make up the largest portion of cannabis sales in Nevada. The Company continues to build its inventory, improve its plant genetics and quality of its output, and optimize its cultivation and production operations. The Company's craft-style flower, pre-rolls and concentrates continue to be in high demand due to a strong local cannabis market in Nevada.
• The Company reported a 57% decrease in general and administration expenses comparing Q2 2021 to Q2 2020. Expenses were $3.1 million for Q2 2021 and $5.6 million for Q2 2020. G&A decreased by 12% from the previous quarter, demonstrating the Company's ongoing commitment to reducing expenses, improving its cost structure and creating a leaner organization.
• Gross margin was $1.7 million for Q2 2021, compared to a gross margin loss of $0.8 million for Q2 2020. The Company has become less reliant on purchases of third-party biomass and continues to improve the margins across its large portfolio of well-established cannabis and CBD product lines.
• The Company's net loss in Q2 2021 was $1.4 million which is a 78% improvement over net loss of $6.4 million from Q2 2020, placing the Company on the path toward profitability in the near future.

The Company's CBD product manufacturing subsidiary, Infused MFG, reported revenues of $0.7 million and gross margin of $0.3 million in Q2 2021. The impact of the pandemic on brick-and-mortar retail across the US has had an effect on Canna Hemp™ CBD product sales. The Company believes that growth of the brand will come from its e-commerce efforts and will continue to build on its online presence.
