Industry Perspective: From an industry perspective, the recent legalization of cannabis sales for adult recreational use in Canada was a watershed moment for the entire industry and the Company.  On October 17, 2018, Canada became the first G7 country and the second country in the world to legalize cannabis sales for adult recreational use. The opportunities for the Company extend across the globe as regulations evolve and markets open.

 

Taking all that into consideration, analysts tracking the stock believes that EMHTF is now well positioned to trade higher.  Furthermore, driven by the accelerated interest of the market, EMHTF has become an attractive play in the legalization of recreational cannabis.

Selected Financial Results

• In January, February and May 2018, the Company completed financings that resulted in total gross proceeds from unit issuances and warrant exercises of $67.8 million (net proceeds – $67.5 million) and has the potential to a raise an additional $41.8 million if the remaining outstanding warrants from these financings are exercised prior to expiry. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the financings to fund the completion of capital projects and potential future expansion and acquisitions, including partnership transactions, for research and development, to expand the Company’s existing extraction capabilities, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

Key risk factors and potential stock drivers:

• Notwithstanding Emerald’ unique and differentiating factors, the company is still exposed to risk related to competition and peer pressure. There are other highly diversified cannabis companies in the industry. Additionally, there’s a cannabis ETF that recently launched for even more diversification.
• Company’ ability to grow revenue while significantly improving its profitability will continue to remain a critical price sensitivity for the company
• Company’s ability to maintain its liquidity and financial flexibility to fund its incremental capital requirements. Since cannabis is still illegal at the federal level, it is not easy for Emerald to access capital on agreeable terms.
• The cannabis industry is, in many respects, still in the early stages of its development and only time would differentiate between real winners and laggards. As far as choosing an option with a relative advantage is concerned, EMHTF is preferred choice with upside potential.
