Quarterly Performance: Key Factors

TGSC’s refined operations over time, combined with economies of scale, have allowed the Company to achieve greater efficiency. As a result, even at reduced revenue levels, the Company is operating close to breakeven. This demonstrates that significant setbacks, like those experienced this quarter, are not deeply pernicious for the Company and underscore its resilience and ability to weather challenges.

TGSC’s main market, Quebec, operates on a biannual product call system through its cannabis board. This system means that one underperforming product call can result in weaker performance across two consecutive quarters. This was the case for TGSC, as the recent “rationalization” of offerings by the cannabis board of the province affected the entire market, including the Company. As a result of this rationalization, TGSC received a return of $29,622 plus associated fees and lost sales opportunities during late Q4, Q1 and early Q2. Despite this setback, it is important to highlight that this is the first instance of such an outcome in TGSC’s history, a testament to its typically strong performance in the Quebec market. Based on its proven track record, TGSC expects to rebound with the upcoming product call, beginning in late Q2 and continuing into Q3.

In addition, the Company experienced a return of traditional cannabis products from the province of Alberta during Q1 2025. The value of this return was $35,913 plus associated return fees. While this return impacted the quarter’s results, the Company plans to redirect these products to the medical cannabis market and other sales channels, ensuring minimal waste and optimized revenue streams.

Strategic Response and Future Outlook

TGSC’s strategy moving forward is twofold. First, the Company will continue its established approach in Quebec. Historically, this strategy has yielded consistent results, and TGSC expects it to continue delivering, barring rare occurrences like the recent underperforming product call that impacted two quarters. Quebec remains a core market where TGSC has a competitive advantage and strong track record.

Second, the Company is advancing its national expansion strategy, which excludes traditional cannabis products outside of Quebec. TGSC’s analysis of market dynamics has shown limited competitive advantage in traditional products beyond its home turf, as evidenced by the product returns from Alberta this quarter. Consequently, the Company is focusing nationally on innovative offerings, such as its THC-infused pouches, branded as DYP’s and Deckies. These innovations are already experiencing a successful launch in Alberta, reaffirming TGSC’s strategic pivot towards differentiation and growth through innovation.

Looking forward, TGSC is enthusiastic about the upcoming launch of THC-infused pouches in Ontario in January 2025. Additionally, the Company expects Q3 2025 to be the first quarter in which it will have three consecutive months of ramped-up sales for DYP’s in Alberta, following the current high demand and ongoing ramp-up period. Q3 will also include initial sales data from the Ontario market, providing critical insights into the true sales velocity of these innovative products. This will further solidify TGSC’s position in the market.

While the challenges of late Q4, Q1 and early Q2 have impacted short-term results, the Company is confident in its ability to navigate these obstacles and emerge stronger. TGSC’s commitment to innovation, adaptability, and strategic growth will continue to drive shareholder value and position the Company as a leader in the Canadian cannabis market.
