Indiva Provides Corporate Update Including Improved Fourth Quarter Revenue Guidance

Indiva Limited (the "Company" or "Indiva") (TSXV:NDVA), the leading Canadian producer of cannabis edibles, is pleased to provide a corporate update and recap of fiscal 2023, including improved quarterly guidance, as the Company now expects record net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023.

"2023 was an extremely busy year at Indiva and our results reflect our intense efforts. The growth of the Pearls by Grön brand, our successful launch of No Future gummies and vapes, and the resulting record net revenue for Q4 2023, is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the Indiva team," said Niel Marotta, President and Chief Executive Officer of Indiva. "Driven by Indiva's best-in-class distribution and store penetration, which exceeds 3,000 stores nationwide, Indiva continues to hold leading market share in the edibles category. By the end of November 2023, Pearls gummies captured the top market share by dollars and units in the edibles category in B.C and Ontario, with results in Alberta continuing to improve since Pearls launched in that market in May 2023. Additionally, Indiva has already sold more than two million No Future gummies and over 100,000 No Future vapes since the initial brand launch in B.C. and Alberta in August 2023. Further, the No Future gummies hit this sales volume in half the time it took Pearls to achieve similar volumes, despite only launching the brand in the largest provincial market, Ontario, in October 2023. The strength of the Pearls and No Future brands is expected to drive higher revenue in 2024. Finally, Indiva's profitability in 2023 benefited from investments in automation and process improvement, which are expected to continue to drive our costs lower in 2024, further strengthening our position as the low-cost producer of edibles."

IMPROVED Q4 2023 GUIDANCE

Continued strength in the Pearls by Grön and No Future brands has resulted in fourth quarter 2023 net revenue results, which are set to exceed the initial expectations and guidance provided in our third quarter results press release, dated November 21, 2023. The Company now expects aggregate Q4 2023 net revenue to improve both sequentially, and year-over-year, to a new quarterly record, exceeding $10 million in net revenue for the three-month period ended December 31, 2023.

2023 HIGHLIGHTS

Non-IFRS Measures

This news release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS.

The non-IFRS measure used in this news release includes "EBITDA". The Company calculates EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is provided to assist readers in determining the ability of the Company to generate cash from operations and to cover financial charges. Management believes that EBITDA provides useful information to investors as it is an important indicator of an issuer's ability to generate liquidity through cash flow from operating activities and equity accounted investees. EBITDA is also used by investors and analysts for assessing financial performance and for the purpose of valuing an issuer, including calculating financial and leverage ratios. The most directly comparable financial measure that is disclosed in the financial statements of the Company to which the non-IFRS measure relates is net income (loss).
