Management Commentary and Outlook

While Clear Blue was able to deliver strong growth in 2020 and 2021, the cumulative effects of three years of Covid-19, supply chain issues, the war in Ukraine and the current global economy have impacted the Company's 2022 results. The YTD results reflect the impact of this and were specifically impacted by over $2.1 million in revenue from two customers ? one who was unable to secure their financing and another who is experiencing a delay in the shipping of the telecommunications equipment that Clear Blue powers.

Clear Blue anticipates that Q4, too, will continue to be a soft quarter. From a guidance perspective, the Company now believes that many customers are currently deferring much of the remainder of their 2022 plans to 2023. With this increased level of customer caution, the Company now expects its 2022 year-end results to come in below the guidance range reported in August.

"During Q3, Clear Blue's most critical focus was to secure its balance sheet and ensure sufficient working capital to manage through this uncertain economic period that is affecting many of our customers and prospects," said Miriam Tuerk, CEO of Clear Blue. "The $9-million grant and interest-free loan that we secured from the Government of Canada provides a strong foundation to grow our business over the next 18 months. As a result, we expect the Company to be in a cash-flow-neutral position even with very conservative revenue assumptions.

From a medium- and long-term perspective, Clear Blue has a very robust $400 million sales pipeline. The Company's confidence in the prospects for revenue growth is largely driven by a strong level of customer interest in solar, which we see accelerating, and we have early Bookings that give us visibility for strong growth in the first half of 2023."

Conference Call

The Company will host a conference call to discuss its latest financial results at 11:00 AM Eastern Time (Canada/U.S.) on Tuesday, November 29, 2022. Those interested can register at https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_vPn7TlUWTpW7d7-Nz_LVtA.
