Q2-2020 Business Review

COVID-19
COVID-19 has impacted the Company's retail and health practitioner channels due to lower foot traffic and temporary location closures under the pandemic. Limited disruption has occurred within production and manufacturing operations, however the Company‎'‎s back office and reporting functions have been impacted and additional time was required for the consolidated second quarter filing.

Acquisition of Abacus Health
On June 11, 2020 Charlotte's Web completed the acquisition of Abacus Health Products, Inc. ("Abacus") in an all-stock transaction. Abacus is a leading provider of over-the-counter ("OTC") topical products for pain relief and skincare containing CBD hemp extracts. The acquisition greatly extends Charlotte's Web's product offerings and reach and solidifies a commanding position in the U.S. hemp CBD topicals category. In the third quarter, Charlotte's Web commenced implementing operating cost synergies with Abacus and will continue through the remainder of the year. Further cost synergies are targeted in 2021 through integration into the Company's new production and fulfillment center.

B-Corp Certification
Subsequent to the close of the second quarter, Charlotte's Web became certified as a B Corporation ("B Corp™").  B Corps are for-profit companies that use the power of business to build a more inclusive and sustainable economy, and the certification recognizes Charlotte's Web's rigorous standards for social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. B Corp status aligns with the Company's mission-based principles including a focus on sustainable and regenerative organic farming methods, water stewardship, and a low carbon footprint. CW is the only publicly traded CBD B-Corp certified company.

"Second quarter revenue was below expectations due to the impact of COVID-19 on retail sales," stated Deanie Elsner, CEO of Charlotte's Web. "However, our DTC sales increased 33.6%, largely offsetting declines in B2B retail sales.  We made excellent progress building out our infrastructure and expanding our products portfolio with the closing of the Abacus acquisition.  Abacus CBD Medic™ products are now being sold through our online store and we look forward to realizing more cross-selling revenue synergies with Abacus through our FDM partners."

Consolidated second quarter revenue decreased to $21.6 million, as compared to $25.0 million in 2019 partly due to COVID-19 reduced foot traffic for retailers and temporary closures. Strong DTC sales largely offset a 54.5% decrease in B2B retail sales which accounted for 28.2% of total revenue in the quarter. DTC net sales grew by 33.6% year-over-year as online traffic and high conversion rates increased through ongoing marketing and social media programs. Year-over-year new consumer acquisitions increased 25% and conversion rates increased 77%. DTC net revenue accounted for 71.8% of total revenue in the second quarter compared to 46.4% for the same period in the prior year.

1Percentages for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were recategorized to conform with 2020 categorization.

Adjusted gross margin (prior to biological asset adjustments and inventory provisions) was 64.8%, compared to 74.0% last year and 69.8% in the first quarter of 2020. After adjustments gross margin was 53.2% of net revenue, compared to 75.2% for the second quarter of 2019 and 70.2% in Q1-2020.

Operating expenses were $29.5 million, increasing 82.1% year-over-year from $16.2 million. The increase reflects the Company's investments in capacity expansion and transition to a consumer-packaged goods ("CPG") operating company capable of supporting mass retail channel growth. The increase includes approximately $6 million of extraordinary expenses related to the Abacus acquisition and legal fees associated with brand and intellectual property protection. Subsequent to Q2-2019, operating expenses increased as the Company relocated into larger office facilities in Boulder, Colorado and added senior CPG management to the leadership team along with related personnel.

Lower than expected revenue has resulted in an increase in operating expenses as a percent of revenue. Management is initiating an expense optimization program targeting a 10 percent reduction in consolidated expense run rate by the end of 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was negative $5.7 million, compared to positive EBITDA of $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2019. The Adjusted EBITDA ratio during the second quarter reflects lower sales and the substantial investments to support expected future revenue growth from the F/D/M channel.

"The pandemic has had a larger and longer impact than we anticipated on retail and health practitioners," explained Russ Hammer, Chief Financial Officer of Charlotte's Web. "We are seeing improvements and a stronger back half in our DTC channel, but without a meaningful opening up of the economy and health practitioner channel we expect only flat to modest consolidated net revenue growth for 2020. Our long view market opportunity remains intact and we continue to add new customers, doors, and products. Our Q3 revenues are trending ahead of Q2 sales levels and we anticipate reopening of retail locations in the U.S. will support a positive growth trend. As we see resolutions in COVID-19 and hemp CBD regulations or legislation we can see the category build towards its full potential." See the advisories contained under "Forward-Looking Information" below.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
The Company used $7.1 million of cash in operations during the second quarter of 2020 compared to $11.5 million of cash used in operations during the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to the increase in changes in working capital. The overall increase in cash flows during the second quarter of 2020 is primarily driven by proceeds from the Company's public offering completed in June 2020. The Company's cash and working capital at June 30, 2020 were $99.8 million and $155.0 million, respectively, compared to $68.6 million and $116.9 million at December 31, 2019.

Non-GAAP Measures

Certain supplementary measures in this news release do not have any standardized meaning as prescribed under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), which are also generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for publicly accountable entities in Canada, and, therefore, are considered non-GAAP measures. Since non-GAAP measures are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies, securities regulations require that non-GAAP measures be clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their nearest GAAP measure. Except as otherwise indicated, these non-GAAP measures are calculated and disclosed by Charlotte's Web on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific adjusting items may only be relevant in certain periods.

The intent of non-GAAP measures is to provide additional useful information with respect to Charlotte's Web's operational and financial performance to investors and analysts though the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used in substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other issuers may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently.

In particular, the terms "Adjusted EBITDA", "Adjusted gross margin" are used in this news release to describe certain financial information of Charlotte's Web. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is not a recognized performance measure under IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be comparable to ‎similar measures presented by other issuers. ‎ The term EBITDA consists of net (loss) income and excludes interest ("financing costs"), taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes share-based compensation, impairment of assets, acquisition costs, legal settlement costs, restructuring charges, and adjustments for fair value of biological assets, warrant liabilities, and stock appreciation rights. Adjusted EBITDA is included as a supplemental disclosure because management of Charlotte's Web believes that such measurement provides a better assessment of the Company's operations on a continuing basis by eliminating certain non-cash charges and charges or gains that are nonrecurring. The most directly comparable measure to Adjusted EBITDA calculated in accordance with IFRS is net (loss) income. See "Adjusted EBITDA" in the MD&A for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income.
