- Announces Financial Outlook and Key Focus Markets for 2023 -
TOCANCIPÁ, Colombia, March 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clever Leaves Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: CLVR, CLVRW) (“Clever Leaves” or the “Company”), a leading multinational operator and licensed producer of pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoids, is reporting financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022. All financial information is provided in US dollars unless otherwise indicated.
“2022 was a transformational year for Clever Leaves as we executed on our refined growth strategy,” said Andres Fajardo, CEO of Clever Leaves. “Our full year revenue growth exceeded our revised 2022 guidance target, reflecting the commercial traction we have gained across our target markets in our cannabinoid business, which grew 90% in 2022. We have also steadily streamlined our cost structure throughout the year, driving a 30% year-over-year decrease in our G&A expenses and sales and marketing costs combined. Similarly, our capital expenditures decreased by 82% in 2022 compared to 2021. This progress allowed us to perform in line with our revised 2022 financial outlook across our key metrics, even as we navigated ongoing revenue headwinds from broader macroeconomic pressures within our non-cannabinoid segment. As we move further into 2023, I believe we are positioned to continue executing on our growth objectives from a leaner, more efficient operational foundation.”
Fourth Quarter 2022 Summary vs. Same Year-Ago Quarter
- Revenue increased 10% to $4.6 million compared to $4.2 million. Cannabinoid revenue increased 71% to $1.9 million compared to $1.1 million, and non-cannabinoid revenue was $2.8 million compared to $3.1 million.
- All-in cost per gram of dry flower was $3.46 compared to $0.47, attributed to the Company’s significantly reduced agricultural output, along with ongoing extraction and processing costs at its Colombian operations. Cost per gram in the fourth quarter of 2022 also reflects higher expenses related to the Portugal operations, which the Company is in the process of winding down.
- Gross profit, including a $0.9 million inventory provision, improved to $0.7 million, as compared to $(0.3) million gross profit in the year-ago quarter, which included a $3.0 million inventory provision. Adjusted gross profit (a non-GAAP financial measure defined and reconciled herein), which excluded such inventory provisions, was $1.6 million compared to $2.7 million.
- Gross margin, which included such inventory provision of $0.9 million, was 15.3% compared to (6.9)%, which included such inventory provision of $3.0 million. Adjusted gross margin (a non-GAAP financial measure defined and reconciled herein), which excluded such inventory provisions, was 35.2% compared to 64.1%.
- Net loss was $28.8 million compared to $24.0 million, driven primarily by a $23.1 million restructuring charge the Company recorded during the quarter. Net loss in the year-ago period included an $18.5 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge and a $3.3 million non-cash share-based compensation expense.
- Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure defined and reconciled herein) improved to $(5.2) million compared to $(6.6) million.
Full Year 2022 Summary vs. 2021
- Revenue increased 16% to $17.8 million compared to $15.4 million. Cannabinoid revenue increased 90% to $6.1 million compared to $3.2 million, and non-cannabinoid revenue was $11.7 million compared to $12.1 million.
- All-in cost per gram of dry flower was $0.87 compared to $0.22, attributed to the aforementioned reduced agricultural output in Colombia, as well as continued extraction processing costs on current inventory. Cost per gram during the year also reflects higher production expenses related to the Portugal operations, which the Company is in the process of winding down.
- Gross profit was $4.3 million, which included a $4.7 million inventory provision, compared to $6.8 million, which included a $3.0 million inventory provision. Adjusted gross profit, which excluded such inventory provisions, was $9.1 million compared to $9.8 million.
- Gross margin, which included such inventory provision of $4.7 million, was 24.3% compared to 44.3%, which included such inventory provision of $3.0 million. Adjusted gross margin, which excluded such inventory provisions, was 50.9% compared to 63.7%.
- Net loss was $66.2 million compared to $45.7 million. This was primarily attributable to a $26.9 million restructuring expense—largely driven by the aforementioned charge related to the Company’s wind-down of its Portugal operations—as well as the $19.0 million intangible asset impairment charge the Company recorded on its cannabis-related licenses in Colombia during the third quarter of 2022. Net loss in the prior year included the aforementioned $18.5 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge, as well as an $11.5 million non-cash share-based compensation expense and was offset by the $16.9 million gain on measurement of warrant liability.
- Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure defined and reconciled herein) was $(23.1) million compared to $(23.7) million.
Fajardo continued: “Throughout 2022, we worked to align our commercial efforts on a select set of core international markets, while optimizing our cost structure and balance sheet to best support these pipeline opportunities. We activated and ramped our market pathways across Australia, Germany, Brazil, and Israel, signing new agreements and further developing our existing partnerships. To enhance our capital efficiency, we implemented various restructuring initiatives and paid off our two largest debt instruments, which we believe will allow us to drive greater cost savings and take meaningful steps towards positive cash flow.
“As we previously announced, we believe the ongoing wind-down of our Portugal operations—and our resulting exclusive operational focus on Colombia—will further advance our strategic progress. While we expect to continue incurring restructuring charges related to the wind-down through the first half of this year, we anticipate that the operational transition will significantly reduce our cash burn over the longer term. From a product standpoint, we are on track to complete our first commercial dry flower export from Colombia to Australia early in the second quarter of this year, with the expectation of launching Colombian flower exports to Germany, Israel, and the United Kingdom by the second half of this year. As we finalize our preparations for dry flower exports in Colombia, we expect to leverage the benefits of our mature, expansive, and cost-efficient production infrastructure.
“As we look to the year ahead, we believe we are well-positioned to further develop the commercial pathways we have forged across our target markets for both extracts and dry flower, while driving incremental improvements in our cost structure and capital efficiency. We look forward to building upon our strong foundation in Colombia and expanding our global reach as a nimble multinational cannabis operator.”
Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 increased 10% to $4.6 million compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was driven by strong year-over-year revenue growth within the cannabinoid segment. This was partially offset by decreased sales within the Company’s non-cannabinoid segment due to current economic challenges faced by mass retailers and specialty channels.
All-in cost per gram of dry flower in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $3.46 per gram compared to $0.47 per gram for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the Company’s significantly reduced agricultural output in Colombia, in conjunction with ongoing extraction and processing costs on existing inventory. Cost per gram during the fourth quarter also reflects higher expenses associated with Clever Leaves’ Portugal operations, which the Company is in the process of winding down.
Gross profit, including a $0.9 million inventory provision, improved to $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $(0.3) million for the same period of 2021, which included a $3.0 million inventory provision. Gross margin, which included such provisions, was 15.3% in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to (6.9)% for the same period of 2021. Adjusted gross profit, which excluded the above provisions, was $1.6 million compared to $2.7 million for the same period of 2021, with an adjusted gross margin of 35.2% compared to 64.1% for the same period of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by the aforementioned revenue headwinds within the Company’s non-cannabinoid segment.
Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 were $29.5 million compared to $29.9 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in operating expenses during the fourth quarter were driven by a $23.1 million restructuring expense the Company recorded during the quarter, which was primarily related to the wind-down of its Portugal operations. Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2021 include the impact of an $18.5 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the Company’s acquisition of its Colombian operations in November 2019.
Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $28.8 million compared to a net loss of $24.0 million for the same period in 2021. This was driven primarily by the aforementioned $23.1 million restructuring charge the Company recorded during the quarter. Net loss in the year-ago quarter included the impact of $18.5 million of non-cash goodwill impairment taken in the fourth quarter of 2021 in addition to higher non-cash share-based compensation expense, inventory provision, and non-cash interest expense recognized in connection with the conversion feature related to the Company’s Convertible Note due 2024 with Catalina LP, partially offset by the gain on remeasurement of warrant liability and continued cost-cutting measures.
Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $(5.2) million compared to $(6.6) million for the same period in 2021. The improvement was mainly attributable to continued cost reductions during the quarter.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $12.9 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $37.7 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to sustained operating losses, working capital needs, as well as repayment of $23.1 million in debt obligations during the year. This decrease was partially offset by $26.3 million in net proceeds raised from the Company’s at-the-market stock offering year-to-date through the third quarter, as well as by $2.5 million in proceeds from the Company’s partial sale of its investment in Cansativa. During 2022, the Company has largely eliminated its debt, reducing outstanding debt levels by approximately 94% since the beginning of the year.
Full Year 2022 Financial Results
Revenue in 2022 increased 16% to $17.8 million compared to $15.4 million in 2021. The increase was driven by increased sales in the Company’s cannabinoid segment, in part offset by a slight decrease in its non-cannabinoid segment. The growth in the Company’s cannabinoid segment sales reflects continued expansion of sales activity and selling more higher-margin products. The decreased sales in the Company’s non-cannabinoid segment were driven by current economic challenges faced by its mass retailers and specialty distributors during the year.
All-in cost per gram of dry flower in 2022 was $0.87 per gram compared to $0.22 per gram in 2021. The increase was primarily driven by the Company’s significantly reduced agricultural output and continued extraction processing costs on current inventory in Colombia, as well as higher expenses associated with Clever Leaves’ Portugal facilities, which the Company is in the process of winding down..
Gross profit, which included a $4.7 million inventory provision, was $4.3 million in 2022 compared to $6.8 million in 2021, which included a $3.0 million inventory provision. Gross margin, which included such provisions, was 24.3% in 2022 compared to 44.3% in 2021. The decrease reflects a higher inventory provision for 2022, as well as the margin impact due to the decrease in revenue in the non-cannabinoid segment. Adjusted gross profit, which excluded such provisions, was $9.1 million compared to $9.8 million in 2021, reflecting a 50.9% adjusted gross margin compared to 63.7% in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to the aforementioned revenue headwinds in the Company’s non-cannabinoid segment.
Operating expenses in 2022 were $79.4 million compared to $64.0 million in 2021. The increase was attributable to the aforementioned $26.9 million restructuring expense—which was primarily related to the wind-down of the Company’s Portugal operations—as well as the $19.0 million non-cash intangible asset impairment charge related to the Company’s Colombian cannabis-related licenses in the third quarter of 2022. Operating expenses in 2021 include the impact of the aforementioned $18.5 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge taken in the fourth quarter of 2021 related to the Company’s acquisition of its Colombian assets in 2019.
Net loss in 2022 was $66.2 million compared to a net loss of $45.7 million in 2021. The increase was driven primarily by the aforementioned $26.9 million restructuring charge the Company incurred during the year, along with the $19.0 million intangible asset impairment charge related to the Company’s Colombian cannabis-related licenses in the third quarter of 2022. Net loss in 2021 included the impact of the $18.5 million goodwill impairment charge the Company recorded in the fourth quarter of 2021, in addition to higher non-cash share-based compensation expense, inventory provision, and a non-cash interest expense recognized in connection with the conversion feature related to the 2024 Convertible Note, partially offset by a gain on remeasurement of warrant liability and continued cost-cutting measures.
Adjusted EBITDA in 2022 improved to $(23.1) million compared to $(23.7) million in 2021. This primarily reflects the Company’s sustained cost reduction measures throughout 2022.
2023 Outlook and Strategic Growth Objectives
Pursuant to the operational and commercial progress the Company made during 2022, Clever Leaves expects its full year 2023 revenue to range between $19 million and $22 million, with an adjusted gross margin between 58% and 63%. Clever Leaves also expects its 2023 adjusted EBITDA to range between $(13.6) million and $(10.6) million. The Company expects approximately $0.5 million to $0.7 million of annual capital expenditures in 2023, representing an estimated 50% reduction compared to 2022.
To further progress its commercial momentum, Clever Leaves has identified the following focused strategic growth objectives and key regions for 2023:
- Focused Commercial Strategy: The Company will continue to capitalize on its commercial traction within a concentrated set of core markets:
- Australia: Complete commercial launch of Colombian flower shipments and capitalize on existing flower traction. Continue scaling and securing additional extract sales agreements.
- Germany: Support additional product sales through current extract B2B partnerships. Prepare for launch of Colombian flower in the second half of 2023, leveraging the Company’s IQANNA brand and its B2B partnerships.
- Brazil: Continue activating sales agreements for products that have recently received regulatory approval and complete approvals for other key products.
- Israel: Support current momentum for isolates and APIs and prepare for the launch of Colombian flower in the second half of 2023.
- United Kingdom: Activate and scale early commercial opportunities.
- Colombia: Sell products in the local market through insurance, leveraging changes in regulation enacted in December of 2022.
- Low-Cost, High-Quality Production in Colombia: After concentrating its operations in Colombia, Clever Leaves will continue to expand its already successful extract portfolio and will commercially launch its high-THC flower produced in Colombia. The Company will leverage its scale, operating experience, and factor costs to continue improving margins.
- Optimized Cash Management: As the Company works to accelerate revenue growth, leverage its low-cost unit economics in Colombia, and continue reducing its operating expenses and capital intensity, it is focused on improving its balance sheet, which may include several initiatives such as raising capital, reducing working capital and monetizing non-core assets. The Company remains committed to maintaining a lean and efficient expense structure to optimize its ability to drive continued growth and create shareholder value.
With the new cost structure and unit economics, revenue and expected growth, and operating footprint, Clever Leaves believes it is well-positioned for the new opportunities emerging in the global cannabis market. These include a larger number of markets regulating medical cannabis, progress towards the legalization of adult-use cannabis in various international markets, and the development of large nascent markets, like Brazil or Australia.
Extension for Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement
On September 29, 2022, Clever Leaves received a deficiency notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications department (“the Staff”) because its closing share price was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days between August 17, 2022 through September 28, 2022 (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Company’s initial 180 calendar day compliance period ended March 28, 2023.
On March 29, 2023, the Company received a second notice from Nasdaq indicating that, while Clever Leaves has not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the Staff has determined that we are eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until September 25, 2023 (the “Second Compliance Period”), to regain compliance. According to the Second Notice, the Staff’s determination was based on (i) the Company’s common shares meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and (ii) the written notice of the Company’s intention to cure the deficiency during the Second Compliance Period by effecting a reverse share split, if necessary. If at any time during the Second Compliance Period, the closing bid price of the Company’s common shares is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide Clever Leaves with written confirmation of compliance.
The Company is actively monitoring the bid price for its common shares and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement. Further information on the bid price deficiency and potential actions can be found in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Clever Leaves aims to disrupt the traditional cannabis production industry by leveraging environmentally sustainable, ESG-friendly, industrial-scale and low-cost production methods, with the world’s most stringent pharmaceutical quality certifications. We announce material information to the public through a variety of means, including filings with the SEC, press releases, public conference calls, and our website (https://cleverleaves.com). We use these channels, as well as social media, including our Twitter account (@clever_leaves), and our LinkedIn page (https://www.linkedin.com/company/clever-leaves), to communicate with investors and the public about our Company, our products, and other matters. Therefore, we encourage investors, the media, and others interested in our Company to review the information we make public in these locations, as such information could be deemed to be material information. Information on or that can be accessed through our websites or these social media channels is not part of this release, and references to our website addresses and social media channels are inactive textual references only.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this press release, Clever Leaves refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin do not have standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income/loss from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, intangible asset impairment, restructuring expenses, gain on investments, foreign exchange gain/loss, gains/losses on the early extinguishment of debt, gain/loss on remeasurement of warrant liability, equity investment share of gain/loss and other expense/income. Adjusted Gross Profit (and the related Adjusted Gross Margin measure) is defined as gross profit excluding inventory provision. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin also exclude the impact of certain non-recurring items that are not directly attributable to the underlying operating performance. Clever Leaves considers Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin to be meaningful indicators of the performance of its core business. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin should neither be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures, see the relevant schedules provided with this press release. We have not provided or reconciled the non-GAAP forward-looking information to their corresponding GAAP measures because the exact amounts for these items are not currently determinable without unreasonable efforts but may be significant.
