Britannia Life Sciences Inc. Reports Third Quarter Financial Results and Provides Update on Operations

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – March 1, 2022) – Britannia Life Sciences Inc. (CSE: BLAB) (“Britannia” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide its unaudited financial results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021. These filings and additional information regarding Britannia are available for review on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. All amounts are Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

Q3 2022 Highlights:

• The Company reports Adjusted EBITDA of$2.9m for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2021.

• On November 12, 2021, Britannia completed its transaction with Rise Life Science Corp (“RISE”). RISE has changed its name to Britannia Life Sciences Inc. and continues as the reporting issuer (BLAB: CSE).

• The transaction with RISE has been accounted for as a reverse takeover (“RTO”) by Britannia, such that these condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of Britannia acquiring RISE. As a result, the comparative information for prior periods provided in the financial statements represents the results of Britannia Bud Holdings Co. (“BBCH”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Britannia, and is therefore not directly comparable to current periods.

• In the nine-month period ended December 31, 2021, Britannia made principal and interest payments of $3.4m on the note representing amounts due to the vendors (the “Sellers’ Loan“) of Advanced Development & Safety Laboratory Limited (“ADSL“), Britannia’s largest operating subsidiary.

“Britannia is pleased to present its first set of financial results as a public company, after the successful completion of the reverse takeover transaction with RISE. We are grateful for the ongoing support from our shareholders as well as the vendors and our advisors, as we finalize our debt refinancing.”

Adjusted EBITDA (Non-IFRS Financial Measurement)

Adjusted EBITDA represents net loss or income adjusted to exclude amortization, depreciation, interest expense and finance costs, foreign exchange gains and losses, income tax expense, listing expense and other charges. Other expenses consist primarily of other income and expenses related to the accounting treatment for the Britannia convertible debenture financing and adjustments in the fair value of certain liabilities.

The Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA will likely differ from that used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for or in isolation from measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Investors are encouraged to review the Company’s financial statements and disclosures in their entirety and are cautioned not to put undue reliance on non-IFRS measures and view them in conjunction with the most comparable IFRS financial measures. The Company has reconciled Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable IFRS financial measure as follows:
