Mota Ventures Announces 832% Growth in February 2020 over the Same Period Last Year and Provides Update on First Class CBD Sales

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 13, 2020 / Mota Ventures Corp. (CSE:MOTA)(FSE:1WZ1)(OTC:PEMTF) (the “Company“) is excited to announce that for the month of February 2020, its First Class CBD brand achieved sales of Cdn$2,981,000, with related expenses for the same time period totaling Cdn$2,814,000. Due to accelerated marketing efforts in late January 2020, the brand was able to improve gross margins by 4.9% from January 2020 to February 2020. The Company anticipates these efforts will yield a further positive impact on revenue and margin in subsequent months. Sales for February 2019 were Cdn$320,000; therefore, February 2020 represents an increase of 832% over the same period last year.

First Class offers a CBD hemp-oil formulation intended to provide users with the therapeutic benefits that hemp may offer. The hemp oil used in the products is derived from hemp grown and cultivated in the United States. The extraction process is designed to maintain all the beneficial qualities that hemp may offer. First Class offers a range of products, which include CBD oil drops, CBD gummies, CBD pain relief cream, CBD skin serum and CBD coffee. The Company plans to continue growth of First Class in the United States over the balance of 2020, as well as an expansion into the European market.

“I am extremely pleased with the performance of the First Class brand through the beginning months of 2020. The continued growth we are experiencing is evidence of the strong consumer demand in the CBD market. While eCommerce demand is generally weakest in January and February, we continue to demonstrate our leadership through achieving approximately Cdn$5,874,000 in revenue through the first two months of the year,” stated Ryan Hoggan, CEO of the Company.

The Company cautions that figures for revenue, expenses and margin generated from the sale of First Class CBD products have not been audited, and are based on calculations prepared by management. Actual results may differ from those reported in this release once these figures have been audited. These figures were translated from US dollar into Canadian dollar using the Bank of Canada monthly average exchange rates of 1.3301 for January 2019, 1.3206 for February 2019, 1.3087 for January 2020 and 1.3286 for February 2020.
