Invictus MD Strategies Inc. (CSE: IMH) (OTC Pink: IVITF) (FRA: 8IS) is an investment company that provides capital and expertise to emerging canna-businesses. Over the past two years, the company’s exceptional management team has executed several transactions that generated significant value for shareholders. The deals with the biggest upside, however, are the company’s equity interests in existing and aspiring licensed producers under Canada’s ACMPR program.

 

In this article, we will take a closer look at some of these points and explore why investors may want to consider purchasing the stock now.

Invictus Acquires Licensed Producers

The Canadian medical marijuana market is expected to generate C$1.2 billion per year by 2020, according to Health Canada estimates, while the business services firm Deloitte estimates that the recreational marijuana industry could add up to $22.6 billion to that figure. Canada’s short list of licensed producers will have a monopoly on supplying the enormous industry with both raw marijuana flower and processed products like edibles and oils.

On December 29, 2016, Invictus MD Strategies announced that it closed the acquisition of 33.33% of AB Laboratories Inc. The ACMPR licensed producer has a 16,000 square foot facility located in Hamilton, Ontario and plans to develop 100 acres for cannabis cultivation and sale. According to the company’s press release, the licensed producer could generate upwards of 20,000 kilograms of marijuana by 2019, making it one of the largest suppliers.

The company paid C$5 million and issued 2.4 million common shares at closing with another C$2 million due in 90 days. These funds will be used to purchase land and build out the licensed producer’s facilities to grow and cultivate medical marijuana. At a price of $6 to $12 per gram, the company’s 20,000 kilograms could be worth $120 million to $240 million per year, which could translate to $30 million to $80 million to the company for its one-third stake.

On January 17, 2016, the company announced a separate letter of intent to acquire 100% of PlanC BioPharma Inc., a late-stage applicant under the ACMPR. PlanC is currently in active final review stage with Health Canada for an application that was submitted in 2014 based on a proposed initial 30,000 square foot, state-of-the-art, medicinal cannabis production and processing facility located on five acres in British Columbia.

As part of the deal, the company will issue PlanC shareholders $100,000 in cash and 50,000 common shares with a maximum of $70,000. In addition, the company will pay $100,000 in cash and 100,000 in common shares worth $175,000 as considering for signing a definitive agreement. Finally, the company will be responsible for certain milestone payments as the company obtains a cultivation license under the ACMPR.

Diversified Exposure to Other Areas

Invictus MD Strategies differentiates itself from other licensed producers with its diversified portfolio of businesses focused on different areas of the cannabis industry. In addition to driving tangible revenue and diversifying its operations, these acquisitions could complement each other and create unique opportunities for synergies.

The company began building its portfolio with an 82.5% stake in Future Harvest, a 20-year-old hydroponics and indoor growing firm. In February of 2016, the company sold its lighting division for $4.8 million in cash, which represented a 350% return on its initial investment in just 11 months. Management used these proceeds to invest in Future Harvest’s nutrients business and returned $1 million to shareholders – a unique ability in the microcap space.

The reinvestment in the nutrients business paid off throughout 2016 with revenues increasing 50% year over year to $587,800 during the third quarter. Management plans to replicate the strategy with other businesses, including PODA Technologies – developer of a vaporizer technology – and Zenalytic Laboratories – a testing facility and U.S. cultivator.

Looking Ahead

Invictus MD Strategies has started 2017 with its most ambitious plan yet – to gain access to the lucrative licensed producer space through its one-third acquisition of AB Labs and its LOI with a potential licensed producer. Moving into the new year, investors can also look forward to a launch of a new vaporizer in Q1’17 through its PODA Technologies business. Investors may want to consider investing early given these significant near-term catalysts.
