TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Halo Labs Inc. (“Halo” or the “Company“)
(NEO:HALO) is pleased to announce it has launched its edibles line in
Oregon, with the introduction of three edible products including single
piece chews, a gummy ten pack and a syrup based drink. The Company has
commenced sales of the gummy ten packs under the Drops™ brand, with Hush
single piece chews and Hush Lean Back Syrup scheduled for release in
stores by mid-November. The launch of edibles is a natural extension
given Halo’s expertise in manufacturing high quality cannabis extracts
and oils and provides the Company with exposure to the fastest growing
sector in the cannabis industry with a higher margin profile than the
existing Halo product line.

Summary of Edibles Business Update

  • Halo to manufacture and distribute Hush Single Piece Soft Chews, Hush
    4 oz Lean Back Syrup, and Drops™ 10-piece Gummy packs
  • The initial 6000 units of Drops™ 10-piece Gummy packs have been
    recently distributed
  • Hush Single Piece Soft Chews and Hush 4 oz Lean Back Syrup are
    scheduled for a mid-November launch
  • New products are being developed to match changing consumer demand in
    line with fast growing market conditions

Halo recently initiated their edibles launch, introducing products in
Oregon where the Company has already established an approximate 20%
share of the wholesale concentrates market. The Company is launching two
different brands with three products, Hush Single Piece Soft Chews 50 mg
THC (Hush Gummy), Hush 4 oz Lean Back Syrup 1000 mg, and Drops™ 10-Piece
Gummy 50 mg THC. Given the growth the fast growth of the edible’s
category and Halo extensive distribution in Oregon, management
anticipates that edibles will provide a meaningful boost to the current
Oregon revenues.

Concentrates are the fastest growing sector in the cannabis industry
encapsulating the edibles market, rapidly outpacing the growth of
flower. According to a new report by BDS Analytics, the trending shift
toward consumables will continue over the next five years, with flower’s
share of total spending dropping from 50% in 2017 to just 36% in 2022.
Edibles is forecasted to grow from 12% to 14% in that time frame. This
growing demand for edibles compliments the consumer benefits of longer
shelf life, easy to use and monitor dosing, easy to travel with, and
discrete consumption; along with the manufacturing benefits of being
efficient to mass produce, ability to generate unique designs, existing
support of confectionary industry, and higher profit margins. Developing
a line of edible products will generate higher overall margins for Halo
while requiring nearly no infrastructure changes, making the move into
the edible cannabis category seamlessly.

“The introduction of edibles to the Halo product line creates a new
stream of revenues and profits which we expect will result in impressive
margins that reflect the shifting consumer demographics. Given our
Company’s expertise in the extracts and concentrate industry, edibles
are a natural extension of our established business,” said Kiran Sidhu,
Halo’s Chief Executive Office.
