is rightsizing production in order to capture the organic segment with the
optionality to add capacity as the market develops
Due to the slower pace of legal market conversion, The
Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF), a leading
producer of premium-certified organic cannabis has announced a new strategic
plan as the company works to enhance profitability (http://ibn.fm/Yh8cm). TGOD will
optimize operating efficiency by deferring excess capacity and expenses. A new
construction and operating plan to reduce cash needs has been adopted that is
expected to lead towards positive operating cash flow in Q2 2020.
TGOD is reviewing financing alternatives to complete the
construction at its facility at Ancaster and Phase 1 at Valleyfield (http://ibn.fm/ltNAR). The
company is currently debt free with $56.7 million in cash available in Canada,
including $40.2 million in restricted cash allocated to capital expenditures.
The Ancaster, Ontario site is expected to be completed by
end of Q4 2019. While the greenhouse has been finished, the processing facility
is mere weeks away. Once completed, the annual production in 2020 is estimated
to reach 12,000 kg with the means to reach the capacity of 17,500 kg.
Construction is mostly complete with all grow rooms licensed by Health Canada.
Ancaster is a purpose-built facility designed for premium
organic cannabis cultivation and processing. The first harvest from the
now-completed greenhouse is scheduled for Q4, around the same time that the
processing facility will be completed. TGOD is working towards an EU-GMP
certification that will enable exports to Europe. The focus on large-scale
organic cultivation and premium pricing is expected to generate strong margins
as TGOD continues to meet the highest organic standards.
Meanwhile the large-scale project in Valleyfield, Quebec, is
being divided into smaller phases. This site is set to become the world’s
largest organic cannabis facility at 1.31 million square feet. Once market
conditions fully justify the addition, the expansion of Valleyfield will
recommence, moving the initial capacity from 10,000 kg to 65,000 kg. At the
completion of all phases, total planned capacity at Valleyfield will reach
185,000 kg.
“With the current Canadian legal market being smaller than
initially anticipated, mainly due to a slow rollout of retail locations in key
provinces, we believe that our revised plan will allow TGOD to rightsize its
production to capture the organic segment, while maintaining optionality to
quickly accelerate and expand as more retail locations begin to open,” TGOD CEO
Brian Athaide stated in a news release.
In Canada, TGOD is building 1,40,000 square feet of
cultivation and processing facilities across Ontario and Quebec. The combined
planned capacity of both sites is estimated at 202,500 kg. By growing to scale
and adjusting strategy to fit the changing market, TGOD can continue to deliver
product the consumer has come to expect as well as profitability for investors.
The Green Organic Dutchman is building some of the
most-advanced hybrid facilities in Canada capable of producing high-quality
organic cannabis at some of the lowest costs today thanks to investments in
facilities built to LEED certification standards and benefiting from North
America’s lowest power rates in Quebec. TGOD is thinking strategically and
leaving a positive impact on the communities it serves and partners with.
