In 2022, THC Essentials generated $1.55 million in licensing revenue, while incurring a cost of goods sold of $420,458, which resulted in a gross margin of $1,133,806 and a net profit of $235,420.
John Kueber, CEO, stated: “We are looking forward to increasing efficiencies in packaging, supply chain, and marketing operations with our licensees. Through various successful measures, we have already made significant strides in advancing our Major™ brand franchise. We are excited about several immediate opportunities that will deliver cost savings and generate greater revenue.”
With the acquisition, Nevis Brands obtained the assignment of all licenses and royalty agreements and associated royalty revenue from the sales of beverages infused with SoRSE’s Emulsion Technology in Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, and Ohio, where it currently sells cannabis products including Major™, Happy Apple™, Atomic Apple™, Vertus™, and Velvet Swing. The company has made several enhancements to make Major™ more widely available in states where it is already active which has already generated an agreement in principle with a new US state licensee to introduce Major™ in an upcoming market by September 30, 2023 and will provide more information once the licensing agreement is finalized and initial production and distribution are underway.
In addition, Nevis completed a licensing agreement with Oregon-based Angel Industries, to provide increased distribution of Major™ in Oregon, as well as increasing its product line to include Atomic Apple™ after positive reception to test marketing in early 2023. Angel Industries, known for manufacturing and distributing successful products such as Blossom Gummies and Angel Drops, currently serves more than 120 retail locations across the state.
Mike Kirkwood, CEO of Angel Industries, commented: “We look forward to expanding the retail presence of the Major™ Brand throughout the state of Oregon and are excited about the opportunity to add new products and flavors such as Atomic Apple™ to the marketplace.”
Although CBD beverages are new on the market they are one of the fastest growing segments of the cannabis industry. According to a report by Prophecy Market Insights, the global CBD Beverage Market is estimated to reach US$46.3 billion by 2032 with a CAGR of 28.7% over the forecast period.
Following the reorganization of Pascal Biosciences, Nevis Brands owns an intellectual property portfolio representing more than $4 million of research and development related to cannabinoid therapies, including a pending patent for cannabinoids and COVID-19, which the company is in the process of offering for sale.
The company recently closed a private placement, raising $2 million from the placement of 20 million units priced at $0.10 per unit and started trading on the CSE on July 6th, where it is currently trading at $0.13.
