urban-gro, Inc. (Nasdaq: UGRO) (“urban-gro” or the “Company”), a fully integrated architectural, engineering and cultivation systems integration company for commercial cannabis and food-focused Controlled Environment Agriculture (“CEA”) facilities, today reported record financial results with record revenues, the 4th consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA, overall positive net income for the first time, and a significant increase in project backlog for its second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Bradley Nattrass, Chairman and CEO, commented, “I am excited that we achieved positive net income for the first time in our company’s 8-year history. Our backlog of signed contracts continues to build, which demonstrates a strong runway for the 2nd half of the year. With the completed acquisition of MJ12 Design Studio which now establishes urban-gro as the only fully integrated architectural, engineering and cultivation systems integration company in the industry, we anticipate that the incremental projects and cross-selling opportunities will drive further high margin revenues and profits to the business.”

Mr. Nattrass further stated, “urban-gro is in the strongest position in its history to provide customers with the expertise and speed to market required in a quickly evolving and expanding global marketplace. I am thrilled with the depth and breadth of our teams, and I believe that the accretive addition of the MJ12 Design Studio team strengthens that further.”

Dick Akright, Chief Financial Officer added, “With a solid balance sheet representing a strong liquid cash position and no debt as well as trailing twelve months revenue of $42 million, we are extremely pleased to see our 2nd consecutive quarter of positive income from operations and to achieve profitability for the first time. Given these factors and our continued momentum, we believe strongly in the current and future value of our company and have repurchased approximately 400,000 of our shares through the end of Q2 2021 at an average price of approximately $8.63.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) attributable to urban-gro, Inc., determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the effects of certain operating and non-operating expenses including, but not limited to, interest expense, depreciation of tangible assets, amortization of intangible assets, impairment of investments, unrealized exchange losses, debt forgiveness, and stock-based compensation that we do not believe reflect our core operating performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure, and it is not a substitute for net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure prescribed by GAAP.

Our board of directors and management team focus on Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance and compensation measure. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA assists us in comparing our performance over various reporting periods because it removes from our operating results the impact of items that our management believes do not reflect our core operating performance.

There are limitations to using non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted EBITDA. Although we believe that Adjusted EBITDA can make an evaluation of our operating performance more consistent because it removes items that do not reflect our core operations, other companies in our industry may define Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. As a result, it may be difficult to use Adjusted EBITDA to compare the performance of those companies to our performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of the income generated by our business or discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business.
