CHICAGO, IL and VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 2, 2023 / The Planting Hope Company Inc. (TSXV:MYLK)(OTCQB:MYLKF)(FRA:J94) ("Planting Hope" or the "Company"), a plant-based food and beverage company focused on producing the world's most nutritious and planet-friendly products, is pleased to report financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

"2022 was a record growth year for Planting Hope: through numerous accomplishments over 12 short months we have proven out acceptance and demand for our products, and laid the platform for accelerated revenue growth and scaling in 2023 and beyond," said Julia Stamberger, CEO and Co-founder of Planting Hope. "Key achievements in 2022 include expanding our products to more than 10,000 Grocery Retail doors and more than 60,000 total distribution points, and securing distribution through multiple regional and national Foodservice distributors to support our strategy to develop high-volume, strong net margin Foodservice placements across our brands. Additionally, we successfully completed and integrated our first brand acquisition with RightRice^®, and launched our top items in bilingual Canadian-compliant packaging to retailers across Canada."

Stamberger went on to say, "In 2022, we rolled out our flagship Hope and Sesame^® Barista Blend Sesamemilk to the critical Café channel. Since its introduction, Hope and Sesame^® Sesamemilk has won or been recognized as a finalist with more than a dozen industry and consumer awards for taste, sustainability, nutrition, and performance in hot and cold beverages. After five years of formulation, development and testing, sesame milk is the first meaningful new Plant Milk subcategory since oat milk and we are rapidly validating its potential to significantly disrupt the Café space and Foodservice channels. Additionally, we continue to push forward sustainability initiatives across our products, including Hope and Sesame^®'s recent Upcycled certification from the Upcycled Food Association."

"The food and beverage categories that our plant-based, planet-friendly products are disrupting - Plant-Based Milk & Creamers, Rice & Legumes, and Healthy Snacking - continue to grow by double digits in North America and globally. Planting Hope's standout brands in each of these categories are poised to create meaningful disruption through delivering revolutionary sustainability, nutrition, and taste to consumers and operational ease and functionality to Foodservice operators," Stamberger added. "The gameboard is now set up for the Planting Hope Company: in 2023, we start to play, and our shareholders win."

2022 Financial Highlights:

During financial year ended December 31, 2022 ("FY 2022"), the Company achieved the following financial growth and improvements over the financial year ended December 31, 2021 ("FY 2021"):

• Record Net Revenues of $9.0 million (CAD $12.3 million) in FY 2022, an increase of 287% over FY 2021 Net Revenues of $2.3 million.
• Selling, General, and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased from $6.75 million (254% of Revenue) in FY 2021 to $12.2 million (100% of Revenue) in FY 2022, representing a significant YOY decline in SG&A as a % of Revenue. The increase in SG&A dollars YOY was primarily due to:
  • increased headcount to support projected growth;
  • additional expenses incurred in taking on the RightRice^® acquisition;
  • one-time accounting and professional fees associated with the acquisition of RightRice^®;
  • increased marketing efforts to support customer acquisition initiatives.
• Trade Spend increased from $0.28 million in FY 2021 (10.5% of Revenue) to $2.79 million in FY 2022 (23% of Revenue), primarily driven by slotting fees from new Grocery Retail distribution and significant in-store promotion and EDLP commitments for the 2022 calendar year made by RightRice^® management pre-acquisition. Note that Trade Spend only applies to the Grocery Retail channel.
• Net Loss of -$7.8 million in FY 2022 (-63% of Revenue), a decrease of 56% from FY 2021's net loss of -$17.6 million (-560% of Revenue), declining significantly YOY as a % of Revenue. FY 2021 Net Loss is also reflective of one-time pre-IPO merger costs and the impact of the calculated fair value on the financial instruments.
• Adjusted EBITDA of -$9.98 million (-81% of Revenue) in FY 2022, a decrease from FY 2021 Adjusted EBDITA of -$5.63M (-211% of Gross Revenue), declining significantly YOY as a % of Gross Revenue. FY 2021 Adjusted EBITDA is also reflective of one-time Pre-IPO merger costs.

Q4 2022 Financial Highlights:

During three months ended December 31, 2022 ("Q4 2022"), the Company achieved the following growth versus the three months ended December 31, 2021 ("Q4 2021"):

• Q4 2022 Revenues of $2.66 million (CAD $3.6 million), an increase of 642% over Q4 2021 Revenues of $0.36 million. Notably, Revenues achieved in Q4 2022 are comparable to Revenues for the entire FY 2021 ($2.66 million).
• Q4 2022 Net Revenues of $1.8 million (CAD $2.5 million), an increase of 613% over Q4 2021 Net Revenues of $0.25 million.
• Selling, General, and Administrative expenses increased from $2.5 million in Q4 2021 to $3.1 million in Q4 2022, due primarily to marketing efforts and initiatives associated with customer acquisition and retention, and one-time professional fees. However, SG&A as a percentage of revenue declined significantly YOY, from 704% of Revenue in Q4 2021 to 117% of Revenue in Q4 2022.
• Trade spend increased from $.085 million in FY 2021 (24% of Gross Revenue) to $.704 million in FY 2022 (26% of Gross Revenue), primarily driven by slotting fees from new Grocery Retail distribution.
• Net Loss of -$3.2 million (122% of Revenue), a significant reduction over Q4 2021 Net Loss of -$8.6 million (2406% of Revenue). Q4 2021 Net Loss is inclusive of one-time pre-IPO merger costs, and to the impact of the calculated fair value on the financial instruments.
• Adjusted EBITDA of -$2.9 million (109% of Revenue) reflects improvement compared to Q4 2021's adjusted EBITDA of -$2.4M (679% of Revenue). Q4 2021 Adjusted EBITDA is also reflective of one-time Pre-IPO merger costs.

Moving into 2023, the Company is focused on improving overall profitability, with the goal of turning the corner on EBITDA profitability by the end of 2024. Losses as a percentage of revenue continue to lessen as the Company focuses on scaling profitable channels, business and customers.

New products launched during Q4 2022 (initial production):

Launched bilingual packaging for the Canadian market for the top-selling Hope and Sesame^®, RightRice^®, and Mozaics™ products, achieving initial and growing distribution in Canadian retailers starting in Q4 2022.

Industry trade shows:

In 2022, the Company invested heavily in industry trade shows to get its products in front of key buyers in Grocery Retail and Foodservice. Many of these shows had not been held in person since 2019 due to COVID-19, and the Company had all-new products and packaging to showcase, including the RightRice^® products. Through Q4 2022, the Company exhibited at 18 trade shows, including: Winter Fancy Food Show (Las Vegas/February 2022), CoffeeFest NYC (NYC/March 2022), Natural Products Expo West (Anaheim, CA/March 2022), Specialty Coffee Expo (Boston/April 2022), CHFA West (Vancouver/April 2022), National Restaurant Association Show (Chicago/May 2022), Sweets and Snacks Expo (Chicago/May 2022), UNFI Holiday Show (Mohegan Sun/June 2022), Summer Fancy Food Show (NYC/June 2022), KeHE Distributor Show (Chicago/June 2022), CoffeeFest Chicago (June 2022), Carmela Specialty Foods Expo (August 2022), CoffeeFest Los Angeles (September 2022), Plant-Based World NYC (September 2022), CHFA (September 2022), CoffeeFest Seattle (October 2022), and UNFI Show (October 2022). Across these tradeshows the Company's brands and products were introduced to retail buyers, distributors, and Foodservice operators, including independent café baristas and owners.

Operations:

The Company started implementation of the NetSuite ERP platform across the Company, beginning with Finance and Operations in Q3 2022, and completed the implementation of the Financial modules by the end of FY 2022. The Company expects to successfully complete the implementation of NetSuite across all departments by the end of Q2 2023.

The Company effectively executed on its business plan for 2022, including expanding core products in key channels, and setting up new products and distribution channels that the Company expects will achieve scale and add to profitability in 2023.

There are two significant areas of market demand in Foodservice that have particular alignment with the Company's products:

• The opportunity for sesame milk in Foodservice and cafés is strong: most carry oat milk, soy milk, and almond milk, but have significant concerns about almond milk's taste, performance, and sustainability. There is a clear opportunity to displace almond milk in favor of sesame milk in the café channel, and the Company is already seeing initial independent cafés and small chains opt to announce that they are discontinuing almond and soy milk in favor of Hope and Sesame^® Sesamemilk as a better tasting, better performing, and more environmentally-friendly alternative. The sales potential for Hope and Sesame^® Barista Blend Sesamemilk in cafés represents a significant revenue opportunity as well as an opportunity to drive marketing awareness. The trial and consumer marketing that occurs through cafés carrying Hope and Sesame^® Sesamemilk is a key strategy for increasing awareness and sales velocity for sesame milk at grocery and e-commerce retailers. Per Company research and market surveys, plant-based milks currently account for 40%-50% of the ‘milk' usage in independent cafés[1], indicating a $2+ billion market for plant milks at the 31,000 independent cafés in the United States alone[2].
• The opportunity for RightRice^® products in Foodservice is equally strong as a bowl base and salad component; RightRice^® Veggie Rice can replace white rice, brown rice, cauliflower rice, and quinoa effectively as a protein-packed rice alternative that also provides an effective vegan protein alternative to animal protein. Additionally, RightRice^® can be served cold or hot, and is extremely simple operationally to prepare in Foodservice environments. Timing is opportune, as according to Technomic research (2020) the appearance of bowl meals on menus increased 29.7% over the preceding five years[1]. Menu penetration of ‘bowl' dishes has risen steadily; when QSR Magazine, the industry journal for Quick Serve Restaurants, released its top 22 trends for 2023, trend #21 was "bowls will be the hottest menu trend in 2023", with bowls currently featured on over 31% of all restaurant menus [2]^. Per the Lentil Growers' Association trend spotlight: "Bowls have taken over Foodservice menus recently and the trend is not expected to go away anytime soon. Power bowls offer the consumer highly customizable and balanced meals in convenient and often portable vessels for on-the-go." [3] RightRice^® features lentil flour as a top ingredient.

Key Growth Priorities for 2023:

• Expand Foodservice, placements, and opportunities across Hope and Sesame^®, Mozaics™, and RightRice^®, diversifying revenue streams to add scale and margin, with specific focus on increasing Hope and Sesame^® Barista Blend Sesamemilk into regional Foodservice and café channel distributors and independent cafés.
• Expand Grocery Retail placements and particularly velocity through existing shelf placement for all brands, with a focus on expansion for Hope and Sesame^® Sesamemilk, Mozaics™ Real Veggie Chips, and RightRice^® Veggie Rice. Increased velocity across Grocery Retail distribution to be driven through cost-effective strategic marketing, trial, and awareness, and measurable, ROI-focused marketing efforts, primarily outside of the store. The Company's goal is to get products on consumer's radar as evoked shopping list options prior to the entry into the store, instead of trying to compete with 40,000 consumer products on Grocery shelves when the consumer is engaged in shopping from their list.
• Continue accelerating consumer awareness of Hope and Sesame^® Sesamemilk, driving trial, adoption, and usage though cafés with the aim of heightening demand in grocery retail stores.
• Promote continued consumer awareness of RightRice^® brand via Foodservice outlets such as CAVA and more.
• Continue to expand e-tail distribution and the Company's digital footprint and scale direct-to-consumer (D2C) business, Amazon.com presence and revenue, and expand presence and sales on third party e-commerce marketplaces, both B2C (consumer) and B2B (wholesale).
