  • Revenues grew 240% year-over-year to $0.8 million for the quarter

Numinus Wellness Inc. ("Numinus" or the "Company") (TSX: NUMI) (OTCQX: NUMIF), a mental health care company advancing innovative treatments and safe, evidence-based psychedelic-assisted therapies, today announced its fiscal quarter results for the three and six months ended February 28, 2022 ("Q2 2022").

"Numinus' fiscal second quarter demonstrated the strength of our growing service offering and the efficiency of our operating platform, with gross margin improving to 29.1% during Q2 2022 – compared to 6.5% in the previous quarter.  Most of this improvement is due to the successful integration of the Neurology Centre of Toronto – an acquisition we completed during just the quarter before, and the expansion of Ketamine-assisted therapy services across our clinic network," said Payton Nyquvest , Founder and CEO.  "We're pleased to see the momentum in our business continue to grow, despite the seasonal slowdown associated with the December holidays during the second quarter."

Mr. Nyquvest continued: "Looking forward, our recently announced proposed acquisition of Novamind will be transformational for Numinus as we establish a strong U.S. presence with eight revenue producing clinics located in Utah and Arizona.  It also provides two additional clinical research sites and a strong pipeline of clinical research business, which will significantly expand Numinus' contract research capabilities.  We are very excited about the opportunities ahead as we firmly establish the Numinus brand and our comprehensive combined mental health and wellness offering in the U.S.  Collectively, our combined business will become a leading integrated mental healthcare company providing psychedelic-assisted therapies across North America , generating more revenue than any of our peers."

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Revenues grew 240% year-over-year to $0.8 million in Q2 2022, due primarily to the acquisitions of Mindspace and the Neurology Centre of Toronto . Sequentially, revenues were in line with the prior quarter, representing periods of increased client appointments alongside the seasonally slower period over December holidays.
  • Gross margin grew significantly to 29.1% during Q2 2022, compared to 6.5% in Q1 2022 and -25.7% in Q2 2021. The marked improvement in gross margin is due mostly to a greater proportion of higher margin services being booked across Numinus' wellness clinics. Gross margin improvement was most notable in the two wellness clinic businesses acquired in the last 12 months: Mindspace and the Neurology Centre of Toronto .
  • Gross profit of $228,759 in Q2 2022, a 349% increase compared to gross profit compared to Q1 2022, and a significant improvement compared to the gross loss of $59,724 in Q2 2021.
  • Loss was $7.8 million for Q2 2022, compared to a loss of $4.2 million in Q2 2021.
  • Cash balance of $48.3 million as of February 28, 2022 .

First Six Months Financial Highlights

  • Revenues during the first half of fiscal 2022 grew 242% year-over-year to $1.6 million due primarily to the acquisitions of Mindspace and the Neurology Centre of Toronto .
  • Gross margin during the first half of 2022 was 17.8%, compared to -21.2% in the same period last year.
  • Gross profit during the first half of 2022 was $279,724 , a significant improvement compared to the gross loss of $97,859 in the first half of 2021.
  • Loss was $13.2 million for the first half of 2022, compared to a loss of $6.2 million in the first half of 2021.

Operational Highlights During and Subsequent to Q2 2022:

Numinus Health – Numinus Wellness Clinic Network

  • Q2 2022 revenue of $0.7 million , a 5% sequential increase from Q1 2022, and a 378% increase compared to $142,448 during the same period last year.
  • During Q2 2022, clients received a total of 5,320 appointments through Numinus clinics (including one-on-one and group therapy sessions, neurology-related appointments and Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy), representing a 14% decline in clinic appointments compared to Q1 2022 due to the anticipated seasonal slowdown during December holidays. On a same-store basis, excluding NCT (the acquisition of which completed partway through Q1 2022), client appointments declined 11% compared to Q1 2022.
  • As of April 14, 2022 , 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 ).
  • Numinus is pleased to announce that it will be opening a new flagship wellness clinic location in Vancouver, Canada , during the late summer or early fall of 2022.

Clinical Trials

  • On January 19, 2022 , Numinus announced that it had received approvals from Health Canada and the Institutional Review Board to proceed with its clinical trial study for MAPS-sponsored MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD clinical trial study ("MAPPUSX"). Enrollment for the trial is open to eligible participants who were previously enrolled in the placebo arm of the parent study ("MAPP1") or who were not able to receive treatment due to COVID-19 restrictions.
  • On March 30, 2022 , the Company announced that it has advanced to the implementation phase of the MAPPUSX trial, by enrolling and dosing the first clinical trial volunteer in Canada .
  • Numinus Bioscience has discovered an additional drug product candidate, NBIO-03, that is nearing the final stages of development. The Company now intends to include NBIO-03 in the Phase 1 clinical trial alongside NBIO-01 to establish a maximum tolerated dose. As a result of this new opportunity, Numinus will resubmit its clinical trial application to Health Canada in the next several months to reflect the redefined scope of this study.

Numinus Bioscience – Laboratory Operations

  • Q2 2022 revenue of $105,966 , a 26% sequential decrease from Q1 2022, but a 19% increase from $89,059 in Q2 2021. During Q2 2022 product shipping challenges impacted the timing of analytical testing services performed for third party clients, which affected the timing of revenue recognition. The Company expects some services intended to be performed during Q2 2022 will now be completed in Q3 2022.
  • During Q2 2022, Numinus Bioscience secured several additional strains of psychedelic mushroom species and has already begun genomic analysis of these spore prints for research purposes.
  • On February 1, 2022 , Numinus announced that it had added three key advisors to its new Bioscience Advisory Board: Graham Pechenik (JD) – Patent Attorney & Founder, Calyx Law, Dr. Paul Spagnuolo (PhD) – Associate Professor, University of Guelph , and Dr. Cory Harris (PhD) – Associate Professor, University of Ottawa .
  • On March 9, 2022 , the Company announced hat it has received approval from Health Canada to study Ayahuasca and San Pedro.
  • On March 14, 2022 , Numinus Bioscience announced it was approved for a Containment Level 2 ("CL2") license by the Public Health Agency of Canada . With the license, Numinus Bioscience will begin:
    • The study of pathogens and bacterial, fungal and microbial contaminants to identify baseline markers and optimal growth environments for Psilocybe mushrooms;
    • Bioassay studies using mammalian cell lines, to analyze the bioactivity of different whole mushroom formulations that contain both psilocybin and other psychedelic compounds; and
    • Pharmacokinetic (PK) and pre-clinical studies using analysis of blood and other bodily fluids, to investigate reactions in the human body to whole mushrooms and other natural formulations.
  • As a result of the pending proposed acquisition of Novamind and the two additional clinic research facilities the Company will gain as a result of this expansion, Numinus Bioscience has decided to halt its planned research facility expansion in Nanaimo, B.C. The Company believes diversifying its research capabilities across both Canada and the U.S. will better serve Numinus' contract research clients and long-term strategy.

Corporate Updates

  • On December 16, 2021 , Numinus graduated to the TSX (from the TSX-Venture), trading under the symbol "NUMI".
  • On January 27, 2022 , the Company graduated to the OTCQX® Best Market in the United States , as a first step towards establishing a greater profile with the U.S. investment community.

  • On April 12, 2022 , Numinus announced the proposed acquisition of Novamind – which will position Numinus as a leading, integrated mental healthcare company providing psychedelic-assisted therapies – with 13 wellness clinics and approximately $10 million of combined proforma annual revenue.
    • The companies have entered into an arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") dated April 12, 2022 , pursuant to which Numinus will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Novamind by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act , for total valuation of approximately $26.2 million on a fully diluted in-the-money basis.
    • Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, shareholders of Novamind will receive 0.84 of a common share of Numinus for each Novamind share held, implying an offer price of $0.44 per Novamind share.
    • Transaction is expected to close in June 2022 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including approvals of the shareholders of Numinus and Novamind and approval of the TSX.
    • Numinus is beginning the process to apply to the SEC for a listing on a major US stock exchange and it is targeting to have the listing completed by the Fall of 2022. While the Company is well capitalized, it would only contemplate additional financing opportunities if it makes strategic sense.

US Cannabis Sales Hit Record in October, Market Set to Reach US$55 Billion by 2030

Cannabis sales in the US reached a record high in October, with retail transactions totaling approximately US$2.8 billion, according to data from LeafLink, a wholesale cannabis platform.

While sales saw a slight 2.1 percent dip compared to September, they were up 6.2 percent year-on-year. Total retail cannabis sales in 2024 are expected to hit US$32.6 billion, representing a 10.8 percent increase over the previous year.

LeafLink attributes much of this growth to new licenses in states such as New York, New Jersey and Ohio.

Australian Senate Rejects Greens' Bill to Legalise Cannabis

The Australian Greens announced on Wednesday, November 27, that the Legalising Cannabis Bill 2023 was defeated in a 13 to 24 vote, preventing the federal legalisation of cannabis.

“The Labor and Coalition parties joined together to try and hold Australia back in the 1950s by blocking this desperately needed reform,” said Greens Senator for New South Wales David Shoebridge.

Shoebridge said on X that the parties “teamed up” to vote against legalizing cannabis in the Senate, “yet another example of the major parties working together to refuse any sort of progress.”

All 11 Greens Senators voted in favour of the Bill, as did Independent Senators Lidia Thorpe and Tammy Tyrrell.

Victoria Amends Driving Rules for Medicinal Cannabis Users, Changes Effective in Mid-2025

Both houses of parliament in Victoria, Australia, have successfully passed the Roads and Road Safety Legislation Amendment Bill 2024, Cannabis Council Australia said in a recent newsletter.

The organisation sees this as a “promising development” in the area, calling it a “critical legislative milestone." The bill's passing will allow for judicial discretion when decisions about medicinal cannabis are made.

Magistrates will now have the ability to evaluate individual cases where drivers who hold valid medicinal cannabis prescriptions test positive for THC, but show no signs of impairment.
