Inner Spirit Holdings Ltd. To Reach 85-Store Milestone for Spiritleaf Retail Cannabis Network; Addition of stores will enhance Spiritleaf's presence in Ontario and Alberta markets
as Company surpasses 250,000 Spiritleaf Collective program members nationally
CALGARY, AB, April 8, 2021 /CNW/ - Inner Spirit Holdings Ltd. ("Inner Spirit" or the "Company") (CSE: ISH), a Canadian company that has established a national network of Spiritleaf retail cannabis stores, today announced its 83rd, 84th and 85th Spiritleaf stores are set to open in Toronto and Kemptville, Ontario and in Calgary, Alberta this weekend. Spiritleaf operates the most cannabis stores under one single brand in Canada and will be the first retailer to achieve the 85-store milestone.
The franchised Spiritleaf stores in Toronto's Riverside neighbourhood on Queen Street East and in the Kemptville community south of Ottawa will bring the number of Spiritleaf locations in Canada's largest province to 27. The franchised store in Calgary, in the northwest community of Evanston, will add to the growing footprint for Spiritleaf in Alberta where the Company will have 46 stores. Additional Spiritleaf stores are projected to open in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and Newfoundland and Labrador this year. Please visit www.spiritleaf.ca for information on store openings, locations and operating hours.
"I'm very pleased to see Spiritleaf serving additional communities in Ontario and Alberta. Our Spiritleaf franchise partners are superb at siting their stores and achieving the necessary regulatory approvals to open and operate. The ongoing dedication by these local entrepreneurs is outstanding and speaks to why our Spiritleaf brand has such a strong connection to local communities and neighbours. We look forward to delivering both excellent product knowledge and a premium shopping experience to guests as we serve additional communities with the authentic Spiritleaf experience," said Darren Bondar, President and CEO of Inner Spirit.
Inner Spirit also announced it has purchased the remaining minority interest of Spirit Leaf Macleod Inc. ("Spirit Leaf Macleod"), a joint venture company it owned with a partner. Spirit Leaf Macleod operates the corporate-owned Spiritleaf retail cannabis store on Macleod Trail in southwest Calgary across from the Chinook Centre shopping complex. This flagship location is also used for Spiritleaf franchise partner and in-store training when not under pandemic restrictions.
The Company's fast-growing and popular Spiritleaf Collective customer benefits program achieved a key milestone this week as it surpassed 250,000 members. Guests can connect with their local Spiritleaf store through the Collective program to further streamline and individualize their shopping experience. Spiritleaf stores have experienced an increase in average basket size purchases as well as a greater number of shopping visits from Collective members.
With updated pandemic restrictions announced recently in various provinces, Spiritleaf stores are continuing to operate with enhanced customer service processes to ensure the safety of employees and customers. As an example, Spiritleaf's Select & Collect service is enabling customers to pre-shop and order online prior to pick-up in store or curbside (where required) or via delivery (where allowed).
Inner Spirit continues to be supportive of Canada's cannabis industry as well as creators in the arts space. The Company recently made an investment in LOOP/POOL, a new Canadian cannabis brand. LOOP/POOL supports the artist community and its owners include members of Our Lady Peace, Blue Rodeo, Stars, Felix Cartal, Dvsn, Kiesza and Roy Woods. LOOP/POOL's licensed cannabis products are expected to be sold in retail stores across Canada. LOOP/POOL is committing a minimum of 5% of proceeds towards POOL/FUND, a philanthropic organization designed to support Canadian artists.

FINANCIAL RESULTS
Inner Spirit reported the following financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2020. A reconciliation of the non-IFRS financial measures can be found under the "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" section of this news release.

System-wide retail sales represent the aggregate revenue earned by franchised Spiritleaf retail cannabis stores and corporate-owned Spiritleaf retail cannabis stores, and do not solely represent the Company's revenue. The Company only receives royalties and advertising fees in respect of franchised Spiritleaf retail cannabis store revenue forming part of the system-wide retail sales.
Gross profit was $12.7 million or a gross margin of 47.2%, an increase of $8.9 million compared with $3.7 million or a gross margin of 47.9% in 2019.

Inner Spirit reported the following financial highlights for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. Again, a reconciliation of the non-IFRS financial measures can be found under the "Non-IFRS Financial Measures" section of this news release.
Total revenue was $9.2 million, an increase of 174% compared with $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.
System-wide retail sales1 was $36.6 million, an increase of 164% compared with $13.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. System-wide retail sales represent the aggregate revenue earned by franchised Spiritleaf retail cannabis stores and corporate-owned Spiritleaf retail cannabis stores, and do not solely represent the Company's revenue. The Company only receives royalties and advertising fees in respect of the franchised Spiritleaf retail cannabis store revenue forming part of the system-wide retail sales.
Total net income was $1.1 million, an improvement of $5.1 million compared with a total net loss of $4.0 million in the fourth quarter of 20192.
"The Company's financial results for 2020 show excellent year over year growth as we posted record revenue of $26.8 million for the year and in the fourth quarter were able to achieve net income of $1.1 million. Our now-proven ability to manage costs and operate efficiently as we build out the Spiritleaf network of stores bodes well for our future success," said Darren Bondar, President and CEO of Inner Spirit.
BOUGHT DEAL OFFERING
Subsequent to the year-end, Inner Spirit announced a bought deal offering (the "Offering") on February 17 and 18, 2021, which is expected to close on or about March 31, 2021. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering to build out additional corporate Spiritleaf retail cannabis stores in select markets as well as for strategic, working capital and general corporate purposes.
NETWORK EXPANSION
The Company has developed a proven model of opening and operating Spiritleaf retail cannabis stores in key markets across Canada. In 2020, the Company opened 30 corporate and franchise Spiritleaf stores in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Newfoundland and Labrador. As of this weekend, an additional 14 corporate and franchise stores will have been opened so far in 2021. The Company recently opened a franchised store in Owen Sound, Ontario and plans to open a franchised store in downtown Toronto on the busy thoroughfare of Queen Street West this weekend. With the additions, Spiritleaf will have 25 locations serving communities in Ontario and a total of 82 locations across the country.
"We're able to expand the Spiritleaf network organically due to the support and dedication of our franchise partners, employees, customers, strategic partners and investors. We have developed a strong business model that attracts entrepreneurs to invest their hard-earned capital in the Spiritleaf opportunity and to represent the brand in their communities. We have additional Spiritleaf store locations being prepared to open across the country and expect to exceed 100 stores by the end of the year," said Bondar.
New Spiritleaf stores are expected to open in the Company's existing markets of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Newfoundland and Labrador as well as in Manitoba in 2021.
OPERATIONS UPDATE
Spiritleaf stores have been operating with enhanced customer service processes to ensure the safety of employees and customers due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Spiritleaf's Select & Collect service enables customers to pre-shop and order online prior to pick-up in store or curbside or via delivery where permitted. The fast-growing and popular Spiritleaf Collective customer benefits program, which recently surpassed 230,000 members, streamlines and individualizes the shopping experience for guests. Please visit www.spiritleaf.ca for information on store openings, locations and operating hours.
"The Company certainly didn't experience anything near a normal retail environment in 2020 due to the ongoing pandemic. Our Spiritleaf franchise partners and employees have been instrumental in keeping the organization focused and able to serve our communities and our customers to the best of our ability and in a safe manner at all times. These efforts enabled us to achieve many goals in 2020 as we became the largest single brand cannabis retailer in the country while delivering a truly authentic Spiritleaf experience to our customers," said Bondar.

Prior Period Restatement
The Company has restated its December 31, 2019 comparative period to correct an accounting error treatment of the initial measurement and recognition of the convertible debentures issued in the second quarter of 2019. On review of the accounting treatment, management determined that the conversion feature of the convertible debt breached the fixed for fixed criteria under IFRS (as defined below) and thus met the definition of a derivative, which is required to be adjusted to fair value at each subsequent reporting date. The net impact to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 is a decrease to share capital of $497,212, an increase to derivative conversion liability of $267,467 and a decrease to net loss of $225,745. The full effect of this restatement can be found in Note 26 of the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
In this news release, the Company reports "system-wide retail sales" and "Adjusted EBITDA", financial measures that are not determined or defined in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"). Such financial measures do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and Inner Spirit's methods of calculating these financial measures may differ from methods used by other companies. Accordingly, such non-IFRS financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. These measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS by providing a further understanding of operations from management's perspective and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
System-Wide Retail Sales
System-wide retail sales represents the sum of the revenue reported to the Company by franchisees of Spiritleaf retail cannabis stores and by corporate-owned Spiritleaf retail cannabis stores. System-wide retail sales represent the aggregate revenue earned by franchised Spiritleaf retail cannabis stores and corporate-owned Spiritleaf retail cannabis stores, and do not solely represent the Company's revenue. The Company only receives royalties and advertising fees in respect of the franchised Spiritleaf retail cannabis store revenue forming part of the system-wide retail sales. This measure is useful to management and the investment community in evaluating brand scale and market penetration and is used by management of Inner Spirit to assess the financial and operational performance of the Company and the strength of the Company's market position relative to its competitors.
The following table reconciles the Company's system-wide retail sales to revenue, being the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with IFRS.
