TEL AVIV, Israel and CALGARY, AB, April 8, 2024 /CNW/ — StickIt Technologies Inc. (“StickIt” or the “Company”) (CSE: STKT), an Israeli technology and cannabinoid company, announces its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Financial Highlights for 2023:

• On May 5, 2023, StickIt entered into a Technology License and Distribution agreement with Alta in Canada Inc. granting Alta Inc. a license to utilize its raw materials and engage in the manufacturing of its products.
• Significant investment in research and development to support innovation and product development, totaling CAD$101,000.
• A notable year with the completion of a reverse takeover (RTO) on October 23, 2023, positioning StickIt for accelerated growth and market expansion.
• Concurrently with the completion of the RTO, the Company completed a financing of CAD$441,000, consisting of 1,024,628 subscription receipts for CAD$0.4304 each, that were converted on a 1:1 basis into the Company’s common shares.

 

Notes:

1.  All the revenues have been generated by selling the licenses for the distribution of Extra-C stick.

 

2.  The increase in the operational expenses was primarily attributable to the professional fees as well as the additional services hike associated with the transaction costs of the RTO and the listing with the CSE. Most of these fees were one-time costs.

3.  During 2023 the Company incurred losses of CAD$48,986,000 of which CAD$47,695,000 resulted from registration and issuance costs from the RTO.

Operational Highlights:

• Expansion into international markets with the establishment of a joint venture in Bangkok, Thailand, aiming to capitalize on global opportunities for our Extra-C sticks.
• Secured a comprehensive patent portfolio, enhancing our competitive edge and underscoring our commitment to innovation. Noteworthy patents include US11582996 B2 in the USA and multiple grants across Europe, Canada, and Israel.
• Continued focus on a growth strategy through joint ventures in regions where recreational cannabis is permitted, strengthening our global footprint and market reach.

Eli Ben-Haroosh, CEO, remarked, “Poised for ongoing expansion and deeper market reach into 2024 and further, StickIt aims to exploit its formidable patent stance, broaden its worldwide joint venture approach, and persist in innovation within the realm of cannabinoid accessories. The management team upholds a pledge to enhance shareholder value and seize the extensive possibilities in the leisure and medical cannabis arenas.”

Sophie Galper Komet, CFO, stated, “2023 emerged as a cornerstone for StickIt, highlighted by our major technological progress and deepening dedication to novelty via a strong patent collection. Finalizing the reverse acquisition laid a firm base for the upcoming expansion. Looking ahead, the prospect of penetrating international arenas excites us, with a resolve to utilize our pioneering technology to secure a notable share.”
