VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 07, 2018 – Namaste Technologies Inc. (“Namaste” or the “Company”) (CSE:N) (FRA:M5BQ) (OTCMKTS:NXTTF) is pleased to announce February 2018 total unaudited net revenue as reported by the Company (including shipping revenues and after discounts and refunds) were C$1,370,442, representing a 146% revenue increase in February 2018 compared with February 2017. February is a historically low month for sales and as such, the Company is pleased with these results. Management anticipates these year-on-year growth trends to continue as the Canadian market moves towards cannabis legalization and the Company executes its strategy to expand sales in emerging markets.

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.

In addition to announcing its February sales, the Company is pleased to provide an update on its progress with Namaste’s medical cannabis telemedicine application, NamasteMD. During the month of February, management initiated a soft-launch of NamasteMD, which is now available on Apple and Google Android devices. The Company is pleased with initial results, having over 3,000 downloads with a 5-star rating on the Apple Store and a 4.9-star rating on Google Android. The Company, through its soft-launch of NamasteMD has also acquired 375 medical cannabis patients. The Company is now focusing on streamlining the patient acquisition process and further developing the platform. Management anticipates substantial growth in patient acquisition rates for March following a full launch of NamasteMD across the Company’s Canadian platform.

Management Commentary

Sean Dollinger, President and CEO of Namaste comments; “We are very pleased to be seeing the positive trend of monthly sales increases year-over-year. With the Cannmart license pending approval, we are very encouraged to see our hardware business growing, which should have a direct impact on our ability to expand our e-commerce platform to include the sale of cannabis products and shift our focus on aggressive acquisition of patients via NamasteMD. While the soft-launch of NamasteMD has been a success, we feel that obtaining our sales license should substantially increase our ability to convert downloaded users into patients. Our ability to provide patients with an all-inclusive e-commerce marketplace of cannabis products and services in the near term should serve to significantly increase our market share moving forward.”
