TORONTO, ON – October 31, 2019 – CB2 Insights (CSE:CBII; OTCQB: CBIIF) (“CB2” or the “Company”), a leading data-driven company focused on bringing real-world evidence driven from the point-of-care to the medical cannabis community, announced preliminary unaudited revenue of approximately $4.2 million¹  for the three months ended September 30, 2019, representing a 29% growth from the previous quarter. The company also decreased its third quarter adjusted-EBITDA loss by approximately 64% from the previous quarter and saw its first ever month of positive adjusted-EBITDA in the month of August. All figures are reported in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

The Company’s achievement in the first nine months of 2019 was, in large part, due to the successful strategic acquisitions of Relaxed Clarity, MedEval Clinics LLC and New Jersey Alternative Medicine (now operating as Canna Care Docs New Jersey). The third quarter of 2019 was the first full reporting period that included the contributions of all three clinical businesses. CB2 now successfully owns and operates one of the largest networks of medical cannabis clinics across the US with a patient registry of 100,000 unique visitors annually. As the team delivers on its efficiency goals and begins to recognize increases in revenue from its technology, data and research services business units, CB2 will look to report full profitability in the coming quarters.

“The continued growth in demand in the market for solutions related to clinically-driven product research has allowed CB2 to start leveraging on our data, technology and CRO capabilities to generate new revenue streams to our already profitable clinical operations in the U.S.,” said Prad Sekar, CEO of CB2 Insights. “We believe we have now arrived at an inflection point in our business and the numbers we are reporting are starting to prove out our multi-dimensional business model. As a team, we will continue to deliver organic growth of our U.S clinical operations, growth in clinical trial and data partnerships, and expand into accretive emerging markets. The Company is now well positioned for continued international growth and ultimately, company-wide profitability.”

CB2 plans to release its results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 on November 8, 2019, with a conference call to discuss its financial results and provide an update on its business operations at 9:00 am Eastern Time.  The call will be hosted by Prad Sekar, CEO of CB2 Insights and Raheel Lalani, VP, Finance of CB2 Insights.
