Management Commentary
"Our third quarter financial results reinforce the continued improvement of the Company's operating performance and financial position," said Gord Davey, President and Chief Executive officer of Harvest One. "Management's continued focus on targeted sales, marketing, operational improvements and cost reductions, is reflected in considerably improved profit margins and bottom line results on a quarterly year-to-date basis. We will build on this positive momentum and continue to execute on the Company's commercial strategy and growth initiatives."
Mr. Davey continued, "During the third quarter, the Company executed on key strategic projects including the divestiture of its Satipharm and Phytotech subsidiaries, as well as a bought deal financing with Research Capital Corporation and ATB Capital Markets Inc. These projects further strengthened the Company's liquidity position to support the growth of its global CPG business and build on the ongoing success of its LivRelief TM cannabis-infused topicals. We are encouraged with this ongoing progress and remain committed to the growth of our brands in North American and global markets through focused sales, marketing and expanded distribution channels, while maintaining rigorous cost control and fiscal responsibility."

Strategic Review & Impact on Operations
The execution of the Strategic Review announced in February 2020 continues to have its impact on Q3 financial results and reflect consistent improvements over the same period last year. The strategy of focusing operations on CPG and infused cannabis, divesting non-core assets, reducing overheads resulted in restructuring initiatives and cost control measures leading to a material impact on the Company's overall financial performance throughout fiscal 2021.
Overall revenue for the Company's Consumer segment has remained consistent despite the continued impact of COVID and associated travel restrictions across North America and the globe. Adjusted EBITDA(1) loss improved significantly, with a $3.2 million favorable increase year over year representing a 50% improvement over the same period in the prior year, primarily due to slightly higher revenue, significantly higher gross profit, and a sizable reduction in SG&A.
Cash used in operating activities correlates with the above improvements and was $8.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $18.3 million for the same period in the prior year, resulting in a decrease of $10.0 million.
Outlook
Management anticipates sales volumes, net revenues, and adjusted EBITDA(1) to improve throughout the next fiscal year due to a full year of infused topical sales, expanded distribution coverage, launch initiatives, branding initiatives, improvements in gross profit, and a continued focus on reducing overhead costs.

Non-IFRS Measures, Reconciliation and Discussion
This press release contains references to "Adjusted EBITDA" which is a non-IFRS financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of the Company's loss from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and adjusted for share-based compensation, common shares issued for services, fair value effects of accounting for biological assets and inventories, asset impairment and write-downs, and other non-cash items, and is a non-IFRS measure.
This measure can be used to analyze and compare profitability among companies and industries, as it eliminates the effects of financing and capital expenditures. It is often used in valuation ratios and can be compared to enterprise value and revenue. This measure does not have any standardized meaning according to IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
There are no comparable IFRS financial measures presented in Harvest One's financial statements. Reconciliations of the supplemental non-IFRS measure are presented in the Company's management's discussion and analysis for March 31, 2021. This non-IFRS financial measure is presented because management has evaluated the financial results both including and excluding the adjusted items and believes that the non-IFRS financial measure presented provide additional perspective and insights when analyzing the core operating performance of the business. The Company believes that the supplemental measure provides information which is useful to shareholders and investors in understanding our performance and may assist in the evaluation of the Company's business relative to that of its peers.
The non-IFRS financial measure should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for, or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the IFRS financial measures presented in the Company's financial statements. For more information, please see "Adjusted EBITDA (non-IFRS measure)" and "Non-IFRS Measures" in the Company's management's discussion and analysis for March 31, 2021, which is available under the Company's profile on www.sedar.com.
