  • December 2017 total un-audited net revenue was C$1,795,032 representing a 182% year-on-year increase in comparison with December 2016

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 08, 2018 – Namaste Technologies Inc. (“Namaste” or the “Company”) (CSE:N) (FRANKFURT:M5BQ) (OTCMKTS:NXTTF) is pleased to announce December 2017 total un-audited net revenue as reported by the Company (including shipping revenues and after discounts and re-funds) was C$1,795,032 representing a 182% year-on-year increase in comparison with December 2016. Relative to November sales which included Black Friday and Cyber Monday, December sales were very encouraging following the record-setting month of November. Management anticipates these year-on-year growth trends to continue as the Canadian market moves towards legalization, and through its aggressive strategy to expand sales into emerging markets.  While vaporizer and hardware sales remain strong, Namaste’s marketing and SEO teams remain focused on improving conversion rates and increasing site traffic, as Namaste continues to build its impressive database of users.

The table below outlines gross sales of Namaste’s major sites and includes site traffic, conversion rates, total number of orders per site and average online basket price.

The Company remains extremely focused on improving gross margins on its vaporizer sales, as well as on its ancillary cannabis products, and anticipates benefiting significantly from its partnership with Greenlane. While the collaboration is still in its infancy, Namaste has already seen a significant reduction of overhead as a result of the integration with their platform and is committed to finding innovative ways to help streamline its operations. As Namaste continues to drive new sales and expands its global platform, these initiatives will become an integral part of Namaste’s ability to grow and become profitable.

While the Canadian market remains Namaste’s primary focus as it awaits approval of its “sales only” license through Cannmart Inc., management’s broader focus is on revolutionizing the medical cannabis retail industry by creating a template that can be easily duplicated and deployed into progressive markets that are moving towards adopting the legalization of medical cannabis. Management fully believes that once Canada adopts these polices, it is only a matter of time before emerging markets follow suit.  Namaste believes these strategies will allow it to take full advantage of these opportunities moving forward, as it works to create a universal platform that is safe and easy to use.

Management Commentary

Sean Dollinger, President and CEO of Namaste comments: “We are very pleased to see such strong numbers coming out for December 2017 and are extremely encouraged by our growth prospects moving into 2018.  While 2017 saw Namaste enter many strategic partnerships, and enter numerous agreements with some of the top LP’s in the industry, it is our intent to remain aggressive in 2018 as Namaste looks to continue identifying mutually beneficial relationships that can help expand Namaste’s global presence, and can expedite the process of reaching profitability. Thanks to our whole team for all their hard work and dedication in 2017 as we are equally as excited and optimistic as we move forward.”
