Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 30, 2021) – Next Green Wave Holdings Inc. (CSE: NGW) (OTCQX: NXGWF) (“Next Green Wave”, “NGW” or the “Company”), a premium seed-to-shelf craft cannabis producer, is pleased to announce the following financial update:
Release of Q3 2021 Results
The Company has exceeded both its Q3 2021 Adjusted EBITDA* projection and Q3 2021 Facility Revenue Projection (originally announced HERE).
The Company has released its financial statements for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021, which can now be found on SEDAR.
Q3 2021 highlights are as follows:
- In September 2021, the Company extinguished all of its remaining debt, and as a result, has approximately US$6.6 Million in Cash and Accounts Receivable, while only having approximately US$730K in total liabilities as at September 30, 2021.
- Improved Q3 2021 results over Q2 2021 from the Company’s Facility are as follows:
- Facility Revenue in Q3 2021 was US$4,000,363, compared with US$3,047,287 in Q2 2021, a quarter over quarter increase of over 31%.
- Facility Adjusted EBITDA margin in Q3 2021 was 44%, compared with 30% in Q2 2021, a quarter over quarter increase of over 46%.
In the below table, the Company has provided Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA* for the last four quarters.
In Q3 2021, the Company continued its new distribution revenue source (“Distro Revenue”), which involves buying and selling third party flower. As the margins on Distribution Revenue are lower than Facility Revenue, the Company has chosen to provide separately, revenue and costs relating to both Distro Revenue and Facility Revenue.
The three tables below break out the following by quarter:
- Total (Facility + Distro) Revenue, Costs and Adjusted EBITDA*
- Facility Revenue, Costs and Adjusted EBITDA*
- Distro Revenue, Costs and Adjusted EBITDA*

“Our Q3 performance confirms the adjustments we made earlier this year were well considered and on target. By refocusing our brand toward only high margin products and increasing operational efficiency, we’ve stabilized top line revenue and once again achieved top of the industry EBITDA margins. Furthermore, improvements in genetics and SOP’s have increased flower yields by 15% year over year, minimizing the potential impact of our exposure to the volatile pricing of the bulk flower market. This is just the beginning!”

Neither Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) nor its Regulation Services Providers (as that term is defined in the policies of the CSE) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
*All financial information is provided in U.S. dollars and is unaudited and is subject to change. Any preliminary unaudited long-term financial projections provided herein have not been prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management uses non-IFRS financial measures, in addition to IFRS financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. One example of a non-IFRS financial measure is Adjusted EBITDA, which has limitations as an analytical tool as it excludes from net income as reported, interest, tax, depreciation, other income and expenses, non-cash grow costs expensed for biological assets and unsold inventory, and the non-cash fair value effects of accounting for biological assets and inventories. Management believes that these non-IFRS financial measures reflect the Company’s ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business, as they facilitate comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. Management also believes that these non-IFRS financial measures enable investors to evaluate the Company’s operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management. These non-IFRS financial measures may also exclude expenses and gains that may be unusual in nature, non-cash, infrequent or not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operating results. As there are no standardized methods of calculating these non-IFRS measures, the Company’s methods may differ from those used by others, and accordingly, the use of these measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by others. Accordingly, Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should only be considered in conjunction with IFRS financial Measures.

NGW has no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, even if new information becomes available as a result of future events, new information or for any other reason except as required by law.
