Next Green Wave Sauce Carts Sell Over 100k In Under 30 Days

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 15, 2020) - Next Green Wave Holdings Inc. (CSE: NGW) (OTCQX: NXGWF) ("Next Green Wave", "NGW" or the "Company") the Company is pleased to announce that the first 30 days of sauce cartridge sales (the "Carts") generated revenue of over US$100,000, at a gross margin of approximately 60%. Due to the success of the soft launch, the Company plans to rapidly expand distribution to all current retail partners, continuing NGW's evolution from a flower producer to CPG company. Next Green Wave currently has the following branded products in the market: Indoor flower, pre-roll joints, dabbable extracts, the Carts.

The Carts are totally different than your standard "vape" or "sauce cart" ; this is a non-distilled sauce with COA's coming back as high as 85% THC and 95% total cannabinoids. And because it is not distilled, each cartridge has the full spectrum of terpenes, cannabinoids and flavonoids enabling a true connoisseur grade entourage effect experience.

In other words, the Carts are:

• Single source
• Strain specific
• Non-distilled
• Non-refined
• No additives
• Indoor flower derived biomass
• 100% all natural
• 3rd party lab tested

The focus on 'downstream' products (all cannabis CPG's other than flower) gives Next Green Wave the ability to continue growing revenue, cash flow and profit beyond the current constraints of our flower production limits. As a result, the Company can take market share in segments that do not require NGW production infrastructure, labor or resources.

The current strain specific varieties include:

• Wedding Cake
• Le Mans
• GMO cookies
• GMO Cherries
• Grape pie cookies
• Pineapple upside down cake
• Slurricane
• Lava cake
• GG4
• Og kush

*All financial information is provided in U.S. dollars. The Company provides financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management uses non-IFRS financial measures, in addition to IFRS financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate the Company's financial performance. One example is Adjusted EBITDA, which has limitations as an analytical tool as it excludes from net income as reported, interest, tax, depreciation, other income and expenses, non-cash grow costs expensed for biological assets and unsold inventory, ‎and the non-cash fair value effects of accounting for biological assets and inventories. Management believes that these non-IFRS financial measures reflect the Company's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business, as they facilitate comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. Management also believes that these non-IFRS financial measures enable investors to evaluate the Company's operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management. These non-IFRS financial measures may also exclude expenses and gains that may be unusual in nature, non-cash, infrequent or not reflective of the Company's ongoing operating results. As there are no standardized methods of calculating these non-IFRS measures, the Company's methods may differ from those used by others, and accordingly, the use of these measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by others. Accordingly, these non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. While the FY 2019 information available on SEDAR is audited, the quarterly information disclosed above is not.
