Numinus Wellness Inc. ("Numinus" or the "Company") (TSXV: NUMI) (OTCQX: NUMIF), a mental health care company advancing innovative treatments and safe, evidence-based psychedelic-assisted therapies, today announced its fiscal fourth quarter and full year results for the periods ended August 31, 2021 .

"During the fourth quarter we were focused on building the team, infrastructure, technologies and protocols that will allow us to scale our business over the next several years," said Payton Nyquvest , Founder and CEO. "We welcomed several new key executives, began our laboratory expansion, and filed a patent for a proprietary rapid production process for psilocybe."

Mr. Nyquvest continued: "Since the quarter ended, we have started to see the benefits of these transformative initiatives, with the expansion of our Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy offering, the acquisition of the Neurology Centre of Toronto , the finalization of our Phase 1 clinical trial protocols for our proprietary psilocybe extract, a partnership with MAPS to conduct the Phase 3 extension study of MDMA for PTSD, and the development of new proprietary toxicity and potency testing tools for psilocybin."

Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights:

  • Cash balance of $59.2 million as of August 31, 2021
  • Revenues grew 81.1% year-over-year to $0.5 million in Q4 2021, due primarily to the acquisition of Mindspace.
  • Gross profit of $31,818 in Q4 2021, compared to gross loss of $158,222 in Q4 2020
  • Loss was $7.8 million for Q4 2021, which included a $1.6 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the acquisition of Mindspace 1 .

__________

1 The impairment is primarily related to the exclusion of future revenues derived from psychedelic-assisted psychotherapies as these services are currently unregulated. As a result of IFRS standards, the Company must recognize there is uncertainty of realization of such revenues, and the impact on expected revenue growth and profitability to related services, relative to management's forecasts.

Fiscal 2021 Financial Highlights:

  • Revenues grew 71.8 % year-over-year to $1.5 million in fiscal 2021, due primarily to the acquisition of Mindspace.
  • Gross loss of $81,538 , compared to gross profit of $88,047 in fiscal 2020
  • Loss was $18.8 million for fiscal 2021, which included a $1.6 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the acquisition of Mindspace¹, compared to a loss of $9.6 million in fiscal 2020.

Operational Highlights During and Subsequent to Fourth Quarter 2021:

Numinus Bioscience – Research and Laboratory

  • Q4 2021 revenue of $90,593 , a decrease of 66.7% from Q4 2020. This is primarily due to the Company ceasing cannabis related activities during the year to dedicate resources towards advancing psychedelic-centered service offerings – including psychedelic analytical testing and contract laboratory services, to align with the Company's strategy and overall objectives.
  • In June 2021 , the Company filed a provisional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for a proprietary rapid production process for psilocybe and other psychoactive fungi species. This process dramatically increases the production of therapeutics for use in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and leads to standardized psychedelic extracts that are reproducible, scalable, cost-effective and commercially viable.
  • In July 2021 , Numinus received Health Canada approval for the MAPS-sponsored, single-arm, open-label safety and feasibility study evaluating MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD.
  • During the quarter, Numinus began the 7,500 ft. expansion of its psychedelics research facility, including the building of an additional laboratory. An application for federal licensing for the additional lab was submitted in September 2021 . The new space (adjacent to Numinus' existing laboratory) will be dedicated to the following services:
    • Bioanalytical testing,
    • Bioassay and in-vitro studies,
    • Research & development and formulation studies for several psychedelic compounds, including ketamine and LSD, and,
    • Small batch manufacturing.

Subsequent to Q4 2021:

  • On October 24, 2021 , Numinus announced it finalized the study design and protocol for a Phase 1 clinical trial on a naturally derived Psilocybin extract. This major milestone advances Numinus' investigation of its first proprietary psychedelic product, which was developed using a patent-pending technology.
  • On November 10, 2021 , the Company announced it will host the Montreal and Vancouver sites of the MAPPUSX study, which will continue to study the safety and efficacy of MDMA in treating severe PTSD, titled "A multi-site open-label extension study of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD."
  • On November 29, 2021 , the Company announced that Numinus Bioscience developed proprietary psychedelic drug tests with new toxicity and potency scans. These new analytical tests will accelerate Numinus' research and development capabilities and generate new revenue streams through third-party client product testing.

Numinus Health and Mindspace – Wellness Clinics

  • Q4 2021 revenue of $400,306 , a 100% increase compared to nil during the same period last year when Numinus' only clinic at the time was closed due to COVID-19.
  • As at August 31, 2021 , Numinus Health had four wellness clinics across Canada (one in Vancouver and three in Montreal ) that had a total of 16 treatment rooms.
  • During Q4 2021, 650 individual clients received a total of 2,671 therapy appointments through Numinus Health clinics (including one-on-one and group therapy sessions). In the three months following (during fiscal Q1 2022) the total number of client appointments at these same clinics grew by 42% to 3,792 (including one-on-one and group therapy sessions, and Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy).

Subsequent to Q4 2021:

  • On September 23, 2021 , Numinus completed the acquisition of the Neurology Centre of Toronto ("NCT") for $1.0 million , allowing for the planned expansion of NCT into a comprehensive neurologic care center specialized in psychedelic neurology.
  • On November 10, 2021 , the Company announced that it had secured two additional clinic locations in Vancouver and Montreal that will primarily be used for clinical research studies in the near-term. The locations are already fully compliant with Health Canada regulations and can be seamlessly converted to client facing wellness clinics in the future.
  • As of December 9, 2021 , Numinus has five wellness clinics offering services to clients (one in Vancouver , one in Toronto , and three in Montreal ) that have a total of 21 treatment rooms. In addition, the company has two dedicated research clinics where psychedelic studies are being conducted (one in Vancouver and one in Montreal ).

Corporate Updates

  • During Q4 2021, Numinus expanded its management team with new executive appointments in Marketing, Clinic Operations, Human Resources and Investor Relations.

Subsequent to Q4 2021:

  • On November 22, 2021 , the Company changed its OTC ticker symbol to "NUMIF" (from "LKYSF") to better align with its Canadian ticker symbol.
  • On November 25, 2021 , Numinus received conditional approval to graduate to the TSX (from the TSXV), with the first day of trading scheduled for approximately December 16, 2021 .

Cannabis leaf over map of Australia.

A State-by-State Guide to Cannabis in Australia

Australia federally legalised medicinal cannabis in 2016, and Australia's cannabis market has seen major growth since then.

Medical cannabis approvals were up by 120 percent in the first half of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Statista forecasts that Australian cannabis revenue will reach AU$3.73 billion in 2024 and grow at an annual rate of 3.22 percent, culminating in market volume worth AU$4.53 billion by 2029.

However, Australia’s cannabis industry is still young. Despite there being a strong case for a regulated market, which was outlined in a July 2024 report by the Penington Institute, recreational use is not legal and medical access remains limited and regulated.

New Cannabis Consumption Trends, Regulatory Shifts Seen Driving Market in 2025

Understanding trends in the cannabis industry is paramount for investors eyeing a market with steady growth potential, but the landscape is complex as products and regulations continue to evolve.

Consumption habits are changing as edibles, vaping and THC beverages gain traction, especially among younger users, and cannabis companies are adapting their offerings to meet shifting demand.

Meanwhile, regulatory uncertainty, particularly surrounding the future of the US Farm Bill and state-level restrictions on hemp-derived cannabinoids, continues to challenge the market.

Despite these headwinds, production data and long-term growth forecasts suggest the cannabis industry remains on a promising — albeit turbulent — path. Read on for more on key trends to watch in 2025.

Consumption methods evolving post-legalization

Shifts in consumer behavior are reshaping markets across the board, and the cannabis industry is no exception.

While smoking remains the dominant method of cannabis consumption, a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention highlights the growing popularity of edibles, vaping and dabbing.

The report notes that vaping and dabbing are particularly pronounced among younger adults.

A separate study published by the American Medical Association and funded in part by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research also points to how product preferences have changed among Canadian users since legalization in 2018.


The study indicates that while the use of flower, cannabis concentrates, oil, tinctures and topicals has decreased during that time, the use of vape cartridges, edibles and beverages has increased.

Edibles and beverages were legalized in Canada in late 2019, and Truss Beverage was one of the first players to introduce cannabis-infused drinks. Truss was a joint venture formed by Molson Coors Canada (TSX:TPX.A,TSX:TPX.B) and HEXO, a cannabis company that has since been acquired by Tilray Brands (TSX:TLRY,NASDAQ:TLRY).

In early 2020, Tilray launched a lineup of confectionery, wellness products and beverages through its subsidiary, High Park; Canopy Growth (TSX:WEED,NASDAQ:CGC) made a similar move. These companies gradually brought their products to the US as more states legalized cannabis for medical and/or recreational use.

Today, established cannabis brands typically offer edibles and beverages alongside their other products. Organigram Global (TSX:OGI,NASDAQ:OGI) is one of the newest US entrants, with its April acquisition of Collective Project providing immediate access to the US hemp-derived THC beverage market.

Growing awareness of health and wellness, potentially amplified by the pandemic-led adoption of health trackers, appears to be making an impact on the alcoholic beverage market.

A 2023 Gallup poll reveals a two decade decline in alcohol consumption, particularly among younger adults, suggesting a shift towards more health-conscious lifestyles within this demographic.

Craft beer production declined by 4 percent year-on-year in 2024, according to data collected by the Brewers Association. This marked the largest drop in the industry's history, excluding the pandemic. For small, independent craft breweries, 2024 marked the third consecutive year of declining production. A drop in the number of operating small breweries last year provides further evidence of this trend, with 501 closures in 2024 versus 434 openings.

Challenges in the alcohol market extend beyond the brewing industry, with the New York Times recently reporting the closure of a handful of nightclubs facing decreased alcohol sales alongside rising insurance and rent costs.

Meanwhile, cannabis lounges have been popping up across the US for the last several years. As of early 2025, several states had legalized or were in the process of implementing regulations for cannabis consumption lounges.

Hemp market growth despite regulatory uncertainty

The burgeoning hemp industry is another segment of the expanding cannabis market.

The legalization of industrial hemp — defined as cannabis with a THC concentration of 0.3 percent or less — through the 2018 Farm Bill led to initial investment and optimistic projections for CBD wellness products and various industrial applications. The sector’s rapid evolution also brought the rise of hemp-derived intoxicating cannabinoids, creating a market that presented both opportunities and complexities for participants.

However, after an initial boom, a lack of infrastructure and clearly defined regulations for CBD, as well as state-level variations and market oversupply, ultimately contributed to a quick retraction.

2024 was a pivotal year for the US hemp industry, as the hemp-related provisions of the 2018 Farm Bill — originally set to expire in September 2023, but extended to December 31, 2024 — created an urgent need to address critical issues like THC limits and the regulation of novel hemp-derived cannabinoids. A major point of contention was the proposed shift from defining hemp based on Delta-9 THC concentration (0.3 percent or less) to “total THC,” which includes THCA.

This change had the potential to significantly impact farmers and processors, as many hemp varieties that are compliant under the Delta-9 THC rule could exceed the 0.3 percent limit when THCA is included.

Various bills and amendments were proposed in 2024 as part of the Farm Bill discussions, each with different approaches to regulating hemp. Separate regulatory frameworks for industrial hemp and hemp grown for cannabinoids were suggested, and many states took their own action, leading to a patchwork of regulations and even outright bans.

Despite challenges, data from the US Department of Agriculture suggests signs of recovery.

The department's annual National Hemp Report from 2024 points to an 18 percent increase in industrial hemp production value between 2022 and 2023, with output growth seen in specific sectors like floral (18 percent), fiber (133 percent) and seed hemp (414 percent). The 2025 report from the Department of Agriculture indicates further expansion, with notable increases observed in both acreage (up 64 percent from 2023) and value (46 percent).

The 2024 Farm Bill ultimately did not pass, and right now the hemp industry is operating under a temporary extension of the 2018 Farm Bill under the American Relief Act of 2025, signed into law on December 21, 2024.

The 2018 Farm Bill is now set to expire on September 30, 2025.

While analysts for Markets and Markets project that the North American hemp industry will grow at a CAGR of 22.4 percent and ultimately reach a valuation of US$30.24 billion by 2029, the future of the industry will be heavily influenced by the outcome of the ongoing Farm Bill discussions.

US cannabis legalization remains stalled

Although there is clear demand for cannabis products, the now-defunct rescheduling process in the US is likely to continue casting a shadow of uncertainty over the industry's long-term trajectory.

Legal and procedural delays, including allegations of improper conduct and bias within the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), led to hearing cancellations, and the new administration of US President Donald Trump has brought leadership changes to key agencies like the DEA and the Department of Justice.

Terry Cole, who Trump nominated to be DEA administrator on February 11, has a history of opposing cannabis legalization in the country. Similarly, Pam Bondi, Trump’s pick to lead the justice department, staunchly opposed a movement to legalize medical cannabis during her tenure as Florida’s attorney general.

While there have been bipartisan efforts in Congress to end federal cannabis prohibition and establish regulations for eventual legalization, the DEA’s actions and statements indicate a potential stall or reversal of progress.

In addition to that, new research is adding complexity to the debate.

A study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry this past March highlights an association between the use of high-potency cannabis strains and increased risks of psychosis, a factor that may not have been fully considered by the Department of Health and Human Services. As stronger cannabis strains become more widely available, a reassessment of their potential health risks may be required.

Investor takeaway

While the cannabis industry holds promise for growth and innovation, investors must remain acutely aware of the regulatory uncertainties and market volatility that will undoubtedly shape its trajectory in the years to come.

ASX Cannabis Stocks: 10 Biggest Companies

While Australia has yet to legalise all forms of cannabis, the country is a growing medical cannabis and hemp market, with many companies manufacturing, researching and exporting the plant-based product.

Medical cannabis was federally legalised in 2016, and the export of cannabis from Australia was legalised in 2018. As for recreational use, the only state to legalise recreational use and possession so far is the Australian Capital Territory, which did so in 2020, but it did not establish a regulated recreational cannabis market.

The country's medical cannabis market has been steadily expanding in size and scope. A Penington Institute report shows that Australians spent approximately AU$400 million on medicinal cannabis in the first half of 2024, 72 percent higher than the AU$234 million they spent over the entirety of 2022.
