EnWave Receives Purchase Order for 120kW REV Machine from Orto Al Sole to Scale Production of Better-for-You Snacks in Italy
16/02/2022
to scale-up the commercial production of fruit and vegetable snack products in Italy using EnWave’s proprietary technology. In July 2020, EnWave signed a royalty-bearing commercial license agreement with Orto Al Sole and sold a 10kW REV™ machine for product development and initial commercial production. Orto Al Sole developed a line of healthy, better-for-you fruit and vegetable snacks that received positive market feedback, leading to scale-up of its manufacturing capacity in preparation for distribution across Italy and potentially Europe.
Orto Al Sole has the exclusive right to produce a variety of fruit and vegetable snack products using REV™ technology in Italy and pays a royalty to EnWave. These REV™-dried products can be sold both domestically and internationally without restriction. Orto Al Sole has the capabilities to achieve large-scale distribution quickly as the owners, the Gandini family, have been successfully operating Ortaggia Val Trebbia (“Val Trebbia”), a premium fresh produce company, for 32 years and have deep relationships in the marketplace. Val Trebbia uses modern cultivation techniques and attention to detail to achieve exceptional results in cultivation of its produce.
According to IRI, the health-conscious consumer is driving growth of products that are organic, vegetarian, and gluten free. European consumers are opting for healthier or lighter products, such as individually portioned fruit, nuts, popcorn, baked and vegetable crisps/chips as their snack of choice. Double-digit growth of vegetable chips, for example, is being fueled by new product development, including root vegetable, pea, rice, and lentil variants from niche and mainstream brands.

GlobeNewswireJan 27, 2022 9:00 AM EST
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the "Company") announced today that it has received a purchase order for a 10kW Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) machine (the “REV™ Equipment”) from Consulting Fresh Business S.L. (“Fresh Business”) to accelerate the development of commercial food, nutraceutical, and cosmetic products in Spain using EnWave’s technology. EnWave previously signed a Research and Development License Agreement (the “R&D License”) with Fresh Business on January 13, 2021, at which time a non-refundable deposit was paid to EnWave for the REV™ Equipment. Fresh Business has assigned the R&D License to a newly formed subsidiary, NEOREV INNOVATION S.L. (“NEOREV”), and completed the purchase of the REV™ Equipment to accelerate research and development on new products in collaboration with industry partners in Spain.
Fresh Business d.b.a. NEOREV intends to forge close partnerships with Spain-based technology hubs and innovation centers to leverage EnWave’s patented REV™ technology for the development of new commercial opportunities. The installation of the REV™ Equipment in Spain will enable industry innovators to expedite the commercialization of leading-edge, premium applications using the EnWave technology. Fresh Business intends to partner with selected technology centers that will provide research and development services to demonstrate the value proposition of REV™ technology. Fresh Business expects to complete the installation of the REV™ Equipment at a technology innovation center in Spain in the coming months, which will increase the visibility of REV™ technology among potential new EnWave partners and will serve as another European hub for proof-of-concept trials on new product applications.

EnWave Signs Second Equipment Purchase Agreement with Illinois-Based Cannabis Royalty Partner for Another 120kW REV(TM) Dehydration Machine
GlobeNewswireDec 30, 2021 9:00 AM EST
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 30, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the "Company") announces today that it has signed a second equipment purchase agreement to sell a second 120kW Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) dehydration machine to a leading Illinois-based cannabis company (the “MSO”) that has operations in multiple U.S. States. The MSO signed a royalty-bearing commercial license agreement (the “License”) with EnWave and purchased its first 120kW REV™ machine in March 2021.
Since adopting REV™ technology for the drying of premium cannabis, the MSO has been using EnWave’s proprietary Terpene Max™ drying protocol, which offers a fast, gentle drying method that removes moisture homogenously from cannabis. EnWave’s Terpene Max™ program allows for precise temperature control of the cannabis material at low temperatures below the point of decarboxylation. When compared to other drying methods, REV™ protocols can be customized to improve terpene retention while preserving equivalent or higher cannabinoids. Cannabis flowers dried using the Terpene Max™ program yield on average 10% more retained terpenes than room or rack dried flower. Bioburden is also materially reduced when using REV™ drying protocols. REV™ technology allows cannabis produces to reduce drying times from multiple days to less than two hours, while maintaining the quality of the flower.
The MSO has been producing REV™-dried premium cannabis flower on its first 120kW REV™ system since September 2021. With the purchase of this second 120kW REV™ system, the MSO will double its royalty-bearing drying capacity of premium, smokable cannabis product. Under the terms of the License, the MSO will pay EnWave a royalty based on the finished weight of dried cannabis processed using the installed REV™ systems. A single 120kW REV™ machine can process approximately 200lbs of wet cannabis biomass per hour, yielding approximately 45lbs of the dried finished product. That translates to over 200,000 lbs of dried cannabis produced per year. EnWave’s REV™ equipment can be manufactured for GACP compliance and GMP upon request.

EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the "Company") today reported the Company’s consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year-ended September 30, 2021.
EnWave’s vacuum-microwave machine and royalty business performed materially better in fiscal 2021 than in fiscal 2020, with record margins and profitability.
NutraDried, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, struggled during the first two fiscal quarters leading to a material restructuring that positively improved results in Q3 and Q4. The turnaround at NutraDried is well underway with new leadership and there are material opportunities to further improve the performance of this business unit in fiscal 2022.

EnWave’s annual consolidated financial statements and MD&A are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website www.enwave.net .
Key Financial Highlights for Q4 (expressed in ‘000s):
The Company reported consolidated revenue for Q4 2021 of $6,906 compared to $7,351 in Q3 2021 and $10,784 in Q4 2020.
EnWave’s Q4 2021 business unit revenue was $3,879 compared to $1,601 in Q4 2020, an increase of $2,278. EnWave ramped revenues from Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV ™ ”) machine sales with current and new licensees for the food and cannabis industries.
NutraDried’s Q4 2021 revenue was $3,027 compared to $9,183 for Q4 2020, a decrease of $6,156 largely due to the elimination of a large national buy-one, get-one Costco promotion shipped in Q4 2020. NutraDried continues to rebuild distribution for its Moon Cheese ® product portfolio and subsequently has confirmed new Costco shipments scheduled in Q1 and Q2 2022 on both Canada and the U.S.
Gross margin for Q4 2021 was 34% compared to 20% for Q4 2020, a major increase due to the confirmation of higher margin REV™ machine sales during the period. Gross margin in Q3 2021 was 36%, and the 34% achieved in this quarter was broadly consistent with a strong margin profile. Throughout 2021, EnWave successfully redeployed three large-scale REV™ machines that were not being utilized from two Canadian cannabis partners, generating robust margins in its machine sales business.
Adjusted EBITDA (*) , a non-IFRS financial measure, for Q4 2021 was a loss of $223 compared to Adjusted EBITDA (*) of $20 for Q4 2020 and Adjusted EBITDA (*) of $937 for Q3 2021. The Adjusted EBITDA (*) for Q4 2021 was near to break-even, and the Company remains focused on further market penetration at EnWave and NutraDried in pursuit of consistent, growing profitability. The Company made significant progress towards this target since the restructuring and cost control program implemented at NutraDried in Q2 2021.
EnWave purchased and cancelled 1,572,900 common shares in Q4 under the Normal Course Issuer Bid at an average share price of $1.01 using cash of $1,597.
Obtained TSX Venture Exchange approval for a normal course issuer bid starting on October 29, 2021 and ending on October 28, 2022 whereby EnWave is entitled to purchase up to 2,204,101 shares in any 30-day period up to a maximum of 10,778,194 shares during the year.

Dole purchased a 10kW REV™ machine to conduct intensive market trials. The strategic partnership with Dole will leverage EnWave’s REV™ technology to bring better-for-you snacking options to its global customer base under its industry-leading brand. Concurrent in its snack product development, EnWave and Dole are collaborating on the development of superior functional ingredients that use upcycled fruit materials.
Signed a royalty-bearing commercial license agreement and sold a 10kW GMP REV™ to a second Australian cannabis company.
Developed extensive cannabis drying protocols using the Company’s proprietary Terpene Max™ rapid drying protocol and collected empirical data supporting both the quality and processing advantages for EnWave’s technology in the cannabis industry. Results from controlled studies show that cannabis flower dried using TerpeneMax™ on average contains 10-20% more terpenes than room or rack dried flower, and in many instances contained higher THC content than the control samples.
Signed a royalty-bearing commercial license agreement with one of the largest American multi-state operators (the “MSO”). The MSO conducted extensive diligence over the advantages of using REV™ for the rapid and controlled drying of cannabis for both combustible and extract products and purchased a 120kW REV™ system to commence commercial operations using the technology.
Added three new sales channel representatives to advance the sales, marketing and licensing of REV™ machinery into the European and Latin American markets.
Significant Corporate Accomplishments Subsequent to Q4 2021:

Confirmed an additional rotation for Moon Cheese ® with a U.S. region of Costco for Q2 2022. NutraDried will continue to pursue Costco as a strategic customer for the club channel while aggressively pursuing growth in the U.S. grocery channel and in bulk sales.
Sold a second 10kW REV™ machine to Dairy Concepts IRL of Ireland to scale-up manufacturing of its lineup of Cheese O’s shelf-stable cheese snacks ( cheeseos.ie) .
Signed a Technology Evaluation Agreement with Protein Isolate Plant International Inc. (“PIP International”) to evaluate the potential commercial use of REV™ technology in PIP International’s large scale yellow pea wet fractionation processing facility.
Entered India, a major new market for REV™ production, by signing a Technology Evaluation and License Option Agreement with M/S Lalsai Dehy Foods (“LD Food”) and placing a 10kW REV™ machine under rental with LD Food for extensive product development on agricultural products for the Indian market.

All shares purchased by the Company will be on the open market through the facilities of TSXV by Cormark Securities Inc. acting on behalf of EnWave in accordance with the policies of the TSXV and will be surrendered by the Company to its transfer agent for cancellation. The prices that EnWave will pay for any of the common shares purchased will be the market price of the shares at the time of acquisition.

This License grants the MSO the rights to use REV™ technology for the rapid and gentle processing of material amounts of premium cannabis.
The MSO is also purchasing a large-scale 120kW Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) machine for use at its existing cultivation facility. The 120kW REV™ machine is anticipated to be commissioned before the end of the 2021 calendar year.
Prior to committing to using REV™ technology, the MSO conducted extensive tests to confirm the advantages of using REV™ versus incumbent drying methods. The tests used REV™ as a method for drying for multiple strains, and included several controlled benchmark studies to confirm the improved retention of terpenes and cannabinoids. The terpene and cannabinoid levels of the REV™-dried samples were clearly superior to the conventional room/rack dried flower. Further, the smoke experience of REV™-dried cannabis when compared to existing product was undiscernible.
The MSO’s testing employed EnWave’s Terpene Max™ drying protocol, which offers a fast, gentle drying method that removes moisture homogenously from cannabis at controlled, low temperatures, which are below the point where decarboxylation occurs. When compared to other drying methods, REV™ protocols can be customized to improve terpene retention while preserving equivalent or higher cannabinoids. Typically, cannabis flowers dried using the Terpene Max™ program yield greater than 10% more retained terpenes than room/rack dried flower. Bioburden is also materially reduced when using select REV™ protocols. Drying times are reduced from multiple days to less than two hours using REV™ technology.
A single 120kW REV™ machine will process in excess of 200lbs of wet cannabis biomass per hour, yielding approximately 45lbs of dried finished product. That translates into over 200,000lbs of dried cannabis produced per year. REV™ machinery is manufactured for GACP compliance and GMP upon request.
Redeployment of REV™ Machine and Termination of License
Concurrent with the signing of the License, the Company terminated a commercial license agreement previously announced on April 26, 2019 (the “License”). EnWave had fabricated and delivered two 120kW REV™ machines and one 10kW machine that were fully paid for but never installed. The REV™ machines have been held in storage since the licensee decided to close certain of its cultivation facilities in Canada. EnWave has repurchased these three machines.
To facilitate the commissioning (before year end) of the 120 kW REV™ machine sold to the MSO, EnWave will re-sell one of the two repurchased 120kW REV™ machines. EnWave is optimistic that the second 120kW REV™ machine will be sold in the coming months to a new or existing licensed partner.

EnWave Shareholder Update
Vancouver, B.C., August 3, 2021
Given the series of recent developments at EnWave over the last several months, we thought it would be best to send a letter to shareholders to provide an update on a number of areas within our business. Topics covered include the general state of affairs, NutraDried’s ongoing turnaround, and the lawsuit filed against EnWave’s former CEO, as well as details for our Q3 earnings release.
General State of Affairs
Through Fiscal 2021 we’ve continued to improve and accelerate the commercialization of our patented Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV™) technology broadly across several major markets. We also took decisive action to correct NutraDried’s course in February, sparking a turnaround that will be evident in coming quarters. Notwithstanding the business challenges presented by the pandemic, we’ve managed to generate record gross margins, adjusted EBITDA and profit in our machine sales and royalty generation business unit.
NutraDried Turnaround
We initiated the restructuring of NutraDried’s operations in February, which had us rip out many discretionary and several unnecessary expenses within this business unit. We hired an accomplished new CEO, Brad Lahrman, who has seamlessly fit into our core management team. It’s early, but we are very happy with Brad’s leadership, pragmatic planning and proactive ‘get it done’ attitude. Velocities have improved over prior year, the business has generated material new bulk sales orders and both revenue and margin are trending in the right direction. There is still lots of work to do, but we are bullish on a strong turnaround from the very poor performance reported in Q1 and Q2 fiscal 2021.
We anticipate that NutraDried’s future growth will be driven by continued velocity improvement and expanded distribution, substantial increases to our bulk product sales, (which has a nice, clean, healthy margin profile) and from our new product innovation pipeline, which we think will win us further new distribution. We recently launched our Protein Blitz Mix product line and plan to complement our existing Moon Cheese format with an additional format later this year. Winning back rotational distribution in Costco is still very much a target for our NutraDried sales team and we feel these new product formats could provide the spark to light the fire again in the club channel for us.
Lawsuit Against Former CEO and Others
We’ve always stated that EnWave will vigorously protect the foundation of our business - our proprietary technology and intellectual property, which includes our patents, trademarks, know-how and machinery. Last Friday night we announced the filing of a Notice of Civil Claim in the B.C. Supreme Court that alleges EnWave’s former CEO, Mr. Tim Durance and other defendants associated with Mr. Durance have used and disclosed EnWave’s confidential information in breach of their obligations and covenants with EnWave. The Notice of Civil Claim seeks damages, an accounting of profits and injunctive relief.
A few hours prior to issuing Friday’s news release, we served Mr. Durance with the Notice, which triggered our public disclosure. We intend to aggressively pursue this case with all legal means at our disposal to safeguard our intellectual property and we are confident about the outcome.
It is beyond the scope of this letter to summarize the claims EnWave is pursuing in its Notice of Civil Claim. The Notice of Civil Claim is a public document. If you would like to review the filed Notice of Civil Claim, please direct an email to info@enwave.net requesting a copy and we will send it to you.
Q3 Fiscal Reporting
We expect to publish our Q3 interim consolidated financial statements and MD&A in the afternoon of August 26th, 2021. We will also hold an investor conference call the following morning on the 27th. Details of this call will be distributed a few weeks in advance. We are excited to review our Company’s progress and highlight some of the exciting projects that are evolving quickly, including work with the U.S. Army, intensifying interest from big pharma, several legitimate cannabis deals, prospective manufacturing scale-ups with existing royalty partners and the start-up of REVworx™, our toll manufacturing operation.
Thank you for your ongoing support as an EnWave shareholder and I hope you can join us at our investor call on August 27th.
Very best regards,
Brent Charleton, CFA
CEO and President
EnWave Corporation
