Canabo Medical (CMM.V) (CAMDF: OTCQB) issued a corporate update this morning that highlighted some important company developments following the company’s listing on the TSX Venture Exchange.
Executive Chairman Dr. Neil Smith outlined several key accomplishments that support its focus on being the dominant clinic network, research provider and data analytics source in the cannabis industry.
Operational Updates
- Canabo treatments are now available in 16 clinic locations nationally (up from 10 locations at the time of listing) and is expanding its footprint through agreements to open to 30 partner clinic locations across the country.
- The company has a strong balance sheet with approx.. $8.5 million (or $0.22 per share)
- During the past six months, Canabo has completed 14,000 physician/patient appointments including 5,500 new, first visit patients.
- Completed an $8.4 million financing at $1.40 per share. Canabo will not require additional equity financing for the foreseeable future.
- Canabo entered a research and development agreement with Terra Life Sciences to develop condition specific treatments. The agreement is expected to result in both near-term research study revenue and ultimately licensing revenue from any new treatments developed.
- In April, the company released a milestone study on benzodiazepine use, showing a marked drop in use among Canadian patients using medical marijuana treatments.
- Entered a partnership with Rapid Interactive Disability Management which has created a new revenue stream through the completion of Independent Medical Evaluations as required in medical cannabis cases by Canadian employers and insurance providers.
- Canabo has trained 65 physicians in its proprietary physician training program, up from 30 physicians at the time of listing. In addition, 26 Continuing Medical Education sessions have been held, with over 700 referring physicians attending.
From the Executive Chairman
Dr. Smith said, “During the month of November we saw approximately 800 new patients, and six months later, we are seeing approximately 1,200 new patients per month. Our growth rate is driven by new clinic openings as well as partner clinic growth. The partner clinic model provides great advantages in supporting Canabo’s aggressive expansion strategy. Capital outlay is lower for each new partner clinic, and these clinics have an existing patient roster which allows us to reach new patients requiring care sooner.”
Smith noted, “Through our partnership with RIDM, we are seeing encouraging growth in our Independent Medical Evaluations revenue stream. Our reputation for the highest quality of medical practice and our conservative, thoughtful approach to prescribing medical marijuana is positioning Canabo as a preferred partner within the insurance industry to complete IMEs. Canabo provides a fee for service for IMEs. This service offering is projected to grow month over month for the foreseeable future as we are currently in discussions to become the preferred provider of medical marijuana IMEs for multiple clients.”
An Underappreciated and Undervalued Opportunity
Canabo expects to be able to announce new research projects over the next 6 to 12 months. The company’s current database has over 2 million data points and is growing monthly. We are favorable on the data owned by the company and we believe companies like Terra Life Sciences have recognized the value from Canabo’s data.
We are favorable on that partnership as the companies work to develop new cannabinoid treatments. Canabo reported to be in discussions with medical operators or regulators in other countries and we believe the shares are undervalued at current levels. We are favorable on Canabo’s continued execution, its management team, and its position to create value within a burgeoning industry.
