Management Commentary
“IMC Germany delivered accelerated growth in 2023, growing 181% from $252K in 2022 to $709K in 2023. During this time, IMC Germany was #1 in sales per stock keeping unit and posted the highest growth against its competitors in the German market.2 With the regulatory rescheduling of cannabis in Germany set to occur effective April 1 st , the Company hopes to continue its growth in the market as the market evolves,” said Oren Shuster , Chief Executive Officer of IMC. “In addition, as we are constantly looking for opportunities to maximize shareholder value, we are hopeful that our potential reverse merger with Israel -based Kadimastem Ltd., a clinical cell therapy public company traded on the Tel Aviv stock exchange under the symbol (TASE: KDST) will proceed as expected, which we believe will create significant value for the shareholders.”
“As previously warned and as expected, unfortunately, the Israel-Hamas war had a negative impact on our fourth quarter 2023 results, which weighed on our full year results. Due to the ongoing conflict, there was a 6% decrease in our yearly revenue. Coupled with our fourth quarter of 2023 inventory reduction, the war caused our fourth quarter gross profit to decrease by 68% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. However, our gross profit for 2023 increased by 7.5% to $9.8 million as compared to last year,” said Uri Birenberg , Chief Financial Officer of IMC. “Partially offsetting these declines, we were able to reduce our operating costs in the fourth quarter of 2023 by 55% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, ending the year with a 43% reduction in our operating costs as compared to last year, as we leaned further into our goal of active cost management.”

Non-IFRS Measures
This press release makes reference to “Gross Margin” and “Adjusted EBITDA”, which are financial measures that are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures are provided as complementary information to the Company’s IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures should neither be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS.
For an explanation of how management defines Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA, see the 2023 MD&A.
We reconcile these non-IFRS financial measures to the most comparable IFRS measures as set out below:

1 Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA “) and Adjusted EBITDA. These measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS “) and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Non-IFRS measures provide investors with a supplemental measure of the Company’s operating performance and therefore highlight trends in Company’s core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. Management uses non-IFRS measures in measuring the financial performance of the Company.
