Q3 2023 Financial Highlights

Management Commentary

"As in the previous quarters, in Q3 2023, we continued towards our goal of sustainable profitability," said Oren Shuster, Chief Executive Officer of IMC. "Our focus on premium and premium plus in the Israeli market, where we are market leaders. On the flip side, we had to adjust our portfolio accordingly, to clean out the slow-moving mid and low range stock, which increased our sales volumes, but affected both our revenue and gross margin this quarter."

"In Q3 we were further able to deliver on our goal of active cost and margin management," said Itay Vago, Chief Financial Officer of IMC. "While we were able to further reduce our operating costs in Q3 by 34% vs Q3 2022 and 6% vs Q2 2023, our revenue and gross margin was negatively impacted by the currency fluctuations between the Israeli Shekel and the Canadian Dollar causing a 2.4% decrease in revenue in Q3 vs Q2 2023 and a $800.000 decrease overall in 2023." 

Q3 2023 Conference Call 

The Company will host a zoom web conference call today at 9:00 a.m. ET to discuss the results, followed by a question-and-answer session for the investment community. Investors are invited to register by clicking here. All relevant information will be sent upon registration.

If you are unable to join us live, a recording of the call will be available on our website at https://investors.imcannabis.com/ within 24 hours after the call.

Operational Highlights

On October 7, 2023, the war between the terror organization Hamas and Israel began. While it is still too early to assess the extent of the impact it has and will have on the medical cannabis industry in Israel and on IMC, we expect that IMC may be impacted.

Q3 2023 Financial Results

Non-IFRS Measures

This press release makes reference to "Gross Margin" and "Adjusted EBITDA", which are financial measures that are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures are provided as complementary information to the Company's IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should neither be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS.

For an explanation of how management defines Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA, see the Company's management's discussion and analysis for the period ended December 31, 2022, available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.

We reconcile these non-IFRS financial measures to the most comparable IFRS measures as set out below.

About IM Cannabis Corp.

IMC (Nasdaq: IMCC) (CSE: IMCC) is an international cannabis company that provides premium cannabis products to medical patients in Israel and Germany, two of the largest medical cannabis markets. The Company has recently exited operations in Canada to pivot its focus and resources to achieve sustainable and profitable growth in its highest value markets, Israel and Germany. The Company leverages a transnational ecosystem powered by a unique data-driven approach and a globally sourced product supply chain. With an unwavering commitment to responsible growth and compliance with the strictest regulatory environments, the Company strives to amplify its commercial and brand power to become a global high-quality cannabis player.

The IMC ecosystem operates in Israel through its commercial relationship with Focus Medical Herbs Ltd., which imports and distributes cannabis to medical patients, leveraging years of proprietary data and patient insights. The Company also operates medical cannabis retail pharmacies, online platforms, distribution centers, and logistical hubs in Israel that enable the safe delivery and quality control of IMC products throughout the entire value chain. In Germany, the IMC ecosystem operates through Adjupharm GmbH, where it distributes cannabis to pharmacies for medical cannabis patients. Until recently, the Company also actively operated in Canada through Trichome Financial Corp and its wholly owned subsidiaries, where it cultivated, processed, packaged, and sold premium and ultra-premium cannabis at its own facilities under the WAGNERS and Highland Grow brands for the adult-use market in Canada. The Company has exiting operations in Canada and considers these operations discontinued.

This press release contains forward-looking information or forward-looking statements under applicable Canadian and United States securities laws (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). All information that addresses activities or developments that we expect to occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as "seek", "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "estimate", "expect", "likely" and "intend" and statements that an event or result "may", "will", "should", "could" or "might" occur or be achieved and other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on the estimates and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. In the press release, such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the Company leaving the Canadian cannabis market to focus on the Israel and Germany markets; the impact of the Israel-Hamas war on the Company, its operations and the medical cannabis industry in Israel; the Company's focus and goals, including remaining singularly focused on accelerating its path to profitability through active cost management and margin improvement while maintaining sales; the Company achieving sustainable profitability and increasing shareholder value; statements regarding the Company's ongoing restructuring of its operations, including the reduction in its Israeli workforce; the strategic plans of the Company; and the Company's estimated cost reductions and its ability to maintain revenues.

Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, including but not limited to: the development and introduction of new products; continuing demand for medical and adult-use recreational cannabis in the markets in which the Company operates; the Company's ability to reach patients through both e-commerce and brick and mortar retail operations; the Company's ability to maintain and renew or obtain required licenses; the effectiveness of its products for medical cannabis patients and recreational consumers; the Company focusing on the Israel and Germany markets; the Israel-Hamas war having minimal impact on the Company, its operations and the medical cannabis industry in Israel; the Company remaining singularly focused on accelerating its path to profitability; the Company continuing to actively cost manage and improve margins, while maintaining sales; the Company continuing to achieve sustainable profitability and increase shareholder value; the Company completing its restructuring of its operations, including the reduction in its Israeli workforce; the Company achieving cost reductions and maintaining revenues; and the Company's ability to market its brands and services successfully to its anticipated customers and medical cannabis patients.

The above lists of forward-looking statements and assumptions are not exhaustive. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors and risks.
