Schedule A
InterCure: Another record quarter - first Israeli LP to reach an annual sales rate of over NIS 100 million
Accelerated growth in InterCure's revenue reached a new record -
NIS 27 million in the fourth quarter, which represents an annual sales rate of over NIS 100 million;
Growth of more than 13 times in revenue compared to the corresponding quarter and more than 3 times of the company's total revenue in 2019;
Continued increase in profitability, operating profit and net profit;
Continuous growth in market share, due to growing demand for Canndoc's products
The growth in revenues and profitability does not include operations acquired in January 2021 and commercialization of the southern facility, the largest and most advanced in Israel, which started after the quarter.
InterCure's profitable growth strategy, global expansion and strategic partnerships position the company as an international leader towards the completion of the SPAC transaction and listing for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange.
February 22, 2021: InterCure (TASE: INCR) presents an estimate of revenues for the fourth quarter of 2020, according to which the company's total consolidated revenues reached an estimated NIS 27 million in the fourth quarter of the year, reflecting record results for Canndoc and continued accelerated growth. According to the company's management, this growth trend in profitability, operating profit and net profit continued in the first quarter of 2021. Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2020 are almost three times higher than Canndoc's revenues in 2019, thanks to the successful implementation of the company's rapid growth strategy, global strategic partnerships and solidifying Canndoc's status as leading global company in the cannabis space. Furthermore, this is the first time an Israeli cannabis company has reached a sales rate of over NIS 100 million annually.
The estimated revenue for the fourth quarter reflects an increase of more than 13 times compared to revenue in the corresponding quarter (Q4 / 2019), when they amounted to NIS 2 million, and an increase of more than 22% compared to the company's revenue in the previous quarter (Q3 / 2020) which amounted to NIS 22 million. The estimate of revenues for the fourth quarter reflects annual revenues for 2020 in the peak of NIS 65 million, almost seven times compared to revenues of NIS 9.6 million in 2019. Accelerated growth in Canndoc's revenues and being a growth company in the global cannabis market were a key step in advancing the strategic move to sign a SPAC deal with Subversive Real Estate Acquisition REIT LP (OTCQX: "SBVRF", NEO: "SVX.U") ("SVX"). The agreement will enable, in a second phase, the listing of InterCure shares for trading on the NASDAQ stock exchange and will significantly strengthen InterCure's capital base for the purpose of continued growth, strengthening its business and competitive position in the global cannabis market. Subversive has raised $ 225 million from its investors, which it holds in trust, and has entered into binding agreements with new investors (other than SPAC investors) to make an investment for a cumulative amount of US $ 65 million.
Revenue for the fourth quarter reflects the continued growth in the demand for Canndoc's high-quality products. The company expects that this trend to continue. In addition, the sharp increase in revenue reflects the contribution of the strategic and exclusive agreements signed by the company throughout 2020 with leading companies in the cannabis space. These include Tilray, Organigram, Aphria, Charlotte's Web and Fotmer. The strategic agreements with the leading brands in the world establish and emphasize the international reputation and capabilities of Canndoc as well as the high-quality standard and brand equity of Canndoc in the target markets in Europe and Israel.
As the leader of the Israeli cannabis market, Canndoc was the first to receive the Ministry of Health's permit for commercial export to Europe as part of its strategic cooperation with Tilray and was the first to report an exclusive strategic partnership in Israel with the world's largest and leading CBD brand, Charlotte's Web. The latter is part of the company's preparations for the opening of the Israeli CBD market together with getting a foothold in the global CBD market. This new market will become another growth engine for the company in the future.
