Agrify Announces Results for FY2022 and First Quarter 2023

TROY, Mich., Nov. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Agrify Corporation (Nasdaq: AGFY) (“Agrify” or the “Company”), a leading provider of innovative cultivation and extraction solutions for the cannabis industry, today announced financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (“FY 2022”), and for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023 (“Q1 2023”).

“In 2023, we continued to make progress on our turn-around,” said Raymond Chang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Agrify. “After a difficult FY 2022, we have reexamined our business model, explored our strategic options, and reevaluated our product offerings to better serve our customers. In terms of the strategic changes, our top priorities have been: (1) restructuring our debts; (2) reducing our costs and headcount; (3) improving our product offerings; and (4) getting some of our key products CE-certified for the international markets. We believe that we have made strong progress in all four of these areas and will continue to prioritize these efforts. The historical acquisitions of the four extraction companies continue to add value, as the combination of Agrify, Precision Extraction Solutions, Pure Pressure, Lab Society, and Cascade Sciences allows us to offer a comprehensive portfolio of cultivation and extraction technologies to our customers. Now that the four acquired companies are completely integrated into Agrify, we believe the synergies are showing and will become even more robust in 2024.”

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results Summary

  • Revenue was $5.8 million for Q1 2023, compared to $26.0 million for the first quarter of 2022 (“Q1 2022”).
  • Gross profit for Q1 2023 was $1.0 million, compared to $4.2 million in Q1 2022.
  • Operating expenses were $8.6 million for Q1 2023, compared to $13.9 million in Q1 2022. The decrease was largely due to a decrease in general and administrative costs.
  • Operating loss for Q1 2023 was $7.6 million, compared to $9.8 million for Q1 2022.
  • Net loss attributable to Agrify for Q1 2023 was $10.3 million, or $9.63 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.8 million, or $13.79 per diluted share for Q1 2022.

Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Results Summary

  • Revenue was $58.3 million for FY 2022, a decrease of 2.7% compared to $59.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (“FY 2021”).
  • Gross profit for FY 2022 was a loss of $31.8 million, compared to a profit of $5.2 million in FY 2021.
  • Operating expenses were $161.5 million for FY 2022, compared to $40.3 million in FY 2021. The increase in operating expenses is largely attributable to $69.9 million of impaired goodwill and $39.0 million of bad debt expenses.
  • Operating loss for FY 2022 was $193.3 million, compared to $35.1 million for FY 2021.
  • Net loss attributable to Agrify for FY 2022 was $188.2 million, or $902.19 per share, compared to a net loss of $32.5 million, or $340.75 per share, for FY 2021.

Recent Business Highlights:

Extraction Division

Agrify launched the Cannabeast 13 Distillation System – the Cannabeast 13 Thin Film Distillation System transitioned from its initial sale to SkyMint in 2022 to an official production launch in Q1 2023. Notably, this technology gained traction with three sales to major Multi-State Operators (MSOs), including Trulieve, Ascend Wellness, and MariMed, underscoring its growing appeal within the industry. The Cannabeast 13 offers 1-8 liters per hour input feed capability designed solely around distilling high boiling point compounds coupled with low boiling point constituents in feed stock to streamline and maximize throughput.

In addition, Agrify launched the PX30 Hydrocarbon Extraction System, the largest member of the PX Series. The PX30 has a 30 pound capacity and a runtime of less than 60 minutes, making it one of the largest and fastest extractors on the market. This robust system is poised to offer enhanced capabilities for hydrocarbon extraction, catering to the demands of commercial operators focusing on large-scale batch processing and extracting for creating direct-to-consumer cannabis products.

Lastly, Agrify made significant strides to receive UL Compliance for EXP Rooms. All of Precision Extraction Solutions’ EXP Rooms, including the EXP1 and EXP2, meet UL standards. These rooms are the ideal choice for C1D1 environments, emphasizing Precision Extraction Solutions’ commitment to safety and quality within cannabis extraction facilities. 

These industry developments illustrate the continuous innovation, and commitment to safety within the cannabis sector as our company adapts to evolving market demands. 

Cultivation Division

Agrify’s newly commercialized customer, Nevada Holistic Medicine (“NHM”), located just off of the Las Vegas strip, is already seeing consistent and successful average harvests of 9 pounds of A-grade flower per Vertical Farming Unit (“VFU”), or roughly 64 grams per canopy square foot. The NHM team is seeing 90%+ A-grade flower being produced with exceptional color, trichome, and terpene levels.

Agrify has successfully assisted another cultivation facility, Denver Greens LLC, to reach commercialization with 60 VFUs to produce high-quality cannabis products in Colorado. Denver Greens recently entered a distribution agreement with Kush Masters, a family run and operated supplier of high-quality cannabis products in Colorado, with a reputation of providing products and services since 2014. Under this distribution agreement, some of Denver Greens’ VFU-grown cannabis is expected to be available on the market as pre-rolled joints and flower in approximately 350 Colorado dispensaries.

In addition, Agrify is pleased to announce the signing of two new customers, Golden Lake Business Park, located in California, and Harvest Works, located in New Jersey, with both facilities expected to begin commercialization in 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, we use Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure to clarify and enhance an understanding of past performance. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We further believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful financial metric to assess our operating performance from period-to-period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We use certain financial measures for business planning purposes, measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors and determining our compliance with certain debt instruments. We utilize Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure of our performance.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude (i) tax provision and benefit; (ii) interest income and expense, net; (iii) other income and expense, net; (iv) depreciation and amortization; (v) stock-based compensation expense; (vi) acquisition-related expenses; (vii) investment banker termination fees; (viii) restructuring charges; (ix) impairments to long-lived assets; (x) gains and losses associated with the extinguishment of debt; (xi) changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities; (xii) changes in contingent consideration; (xiii) legal settlement charges; and (xiv) other items affecting our results that we do not view as representative of our ongoing operations, including losses associated with write-offs.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors. However, our use of the term Adjusted EBITDA may vary from that of others in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net loss before taxes, net loss, loss per share or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of performance.

Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA include (i) Adjusted EBITDA does not properly reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future, and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures. Our public offering and acquisition-related expenses, including legal, accounting, and other professional expenses, reflect cash expenditures and we expect such expenditures to recur from time-to-time. Our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner as we calculate the measure, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these expenses or any unusual or non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to loss before benefit from income taxes, net loss, earnings per share, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. When evaluating our performance, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including our net loss and other GAAP results.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from the most comparable GAAP measure, net loss, for the three--month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively:
