CLS Nevada August 2020 Financial and Operational Highlights

• August 2020 net revenue increased by 20.76% over August 2019, and by 1.73% over July 2020, representing a new company record for the second consecutive month.
• CLS’ Nevada wholesale manufacturing division finalized all materials for the relaunch of the City Trees brand in September.

Back-to-Back Record Revenue Months
For the second month in a row, CLS’ Nevada subsidiaries have set a new company record, recording a gross margin of 50.41% and $1,405,800.71 in net revenue in August 2020 – a revenue increase of 1.73% over July 2020 and 20.76% over August 2019. Sustainable growth at retail subsidiary Oasis Cannabis and improved COVID-19 performance at wholesale manufacturing division, City Trees, have been driven by continued efforts to provide a clean, comfortable retail experience and to produce safe, consistent products. According to recently reported figures from BDS Analytics, a leading data provider for the cannabis industry, July 2020 cannabis sales in Nevada have reached a total of $82 million – a 37% increase over July 2019 – despite a substantial downturn in tourism traffic during the year. CLS’ Nevada subsidiaries outpaced this market average in July 2020 with a year over year increase of 44.8%.

A New State of Mind for City Trees
In August 2020, CLS’ Nevada wholesale manufacturing division, City Trees, completed the required materials for its September relaunch. This included all new sustainable packaging, a refined product catalog, and updated design criteria. New materials began widespread distribution on September 4, accompanied by the release of three premium limited edition products.

Alongside a robust, targeted digital advertising presence, City Trees unveiled a newly designed website featuring an integrated indirect e-commerce platform, allowing customers to purchase products from local Nevada retailers through the website sales portal. The new website also highlights the expansive sustainability initiatives for the brand, including the Buy 1 Plant 1 campaign, wherein all sales of 1:1 THC:CBD category products will include a donation in support of the Arbor Day Foundation.

Further planned innovations on the horizon include a collaborative product development project with a premier California and Nevada-based cannabis cultivator, with an anticipated completion date in the fourth quarter of 2020. The completion of its new production facility opens the door for City Trees to expand its extraction capabilities and continue to offer safe, innovative products at an increased volume.
