Agrify Corporation Reports Full-Year 2023 Earnings

TROY, Mich., April 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Agrify Corporation (Nasdaq:AGFY) (“Agrify” or the “Company”), a leading provider of innovative cultivation and extraction solutions for the cannabis industry, today announced financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company achieved its first positive quarterly net income of approximately $572,000.

“We continued to see improvements and make progress on our turn-around,” said Raymond Chang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Agrify. “Despite continuous industry headwind, we are starting to see a pick-up in capital expenditures, especially in newly licensed states. This could not come at a better time, as we continue to see amazing yield and top-quality flowers produced from our existing TTK facilities. These strong and undeniable results demonstrate the superiority of our VFU technology. As such we expect to see more interest in our VFUs both domestically and internationally. Similarly, our ability to provide an end-to-end turnkey solution for any type of extraction needs allows us to win larger and more meaningful projects. In 2023, we implemented a new policy requiring a 50-75% deposit upfront on all new sales orders and the remaining before shipment. Although such a drastic change in our policy resulted in lower top-line growth, it significantly reduced our receivables and improved our cash collection. We also dramatically reduced our headcount and cut our expenses as we consolidated our offices and warehouses down from seven to three locations. General and administration expenses were reduced from $73 million in 2022 to $19 million in 2023, with a further reduction to less than $3 million per quarter in the fourth quarter of 2023 to align with our current business scale. We also made conscious efforts to aggressively sell down slow-moving inventory, especially items which we have taken full or partial reserves. Lastly, we pursued various legal measures to collect outstanding receivables and settle various payables and litigation matters. All these initiatives have helped to boost our fourth quarter financial results and turnaround of the company.”

Recent Business Highlights

Extraction Division

In the ever-evolving landscape of cannabis extraction equipment, the demand for reliability paired with comprehensive support is reaching new heights. Today, operators are increasingly recognizing the indispensable value of product warranties and dedicated support, steering clear of the challenges posed by the fluctuating second-hand market that can lead to costly downtimes and profit reductions.

As operators nationwide seek sustainable, long-term solutions, the availability of old second-hand machines has dwindled. This realization, combined with the imperative for unwavering reliability, has underscored the critical need for dependable warranties and ongoing support.

In response to this pivotal industry shift, Agrify proudly announces its new initiative aimed at delivering unparalleled service to our esteemed customers. In recent months, there has been a notable increase in the adoption of our managed service agreements, as operators prioritize not only top-tier machinery but also the peace of mind essential for seamless day-to-day operations.

"Our commitment to excellence extends beyond the product itself," stated Brian Towns, Executive Vice President & General Manager at Agrify. "We recognize that operators are investing in more than just equipment; they are investing in the reliability and efficiency of their entire operations."

The recent signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI) with PDS Ventures in Warren, MI, serves as a testament to Agrify’s dedication to providing holistic solutions. Furthermore, Agrify is actively in discussions with several other esteemed industry leaders, cementing its position as a trusted partner in the cannabis ancillary market, offering both cutting-edge equipment and unparalleled support services.

With this groundbreaking initiative, operators can confidently trust that their investments are safeguarded by the industry's leading warranties and continuous support. As we navigate this dynamic landscape together, Agrify remains unwavering in its mission to deliver unmatched quality, reliability, and innovation to every facet of the cannabis industry.

Cultivation Division

Agrify is thrilled to announce the resounding success of its inaugural Total Turnkey (TTK) project with Agrify’s customer, Nevada Holistic Medicine (“NHM”). NHM, now operating at nearly full capacity, proudly distributes their premium-quality products under the esteemed StackHouse brand. Since their debut, StackHouse products have consistently flown off dispensary shelves statewide, receiving rave reviews.

This milestone underscores the efficacy, advantage, and value of Agrify's comprehensive solution. Amidst a flurry of information on the benefits of inter-canopy lighting, a longstanding feature of all Agrify VFUs, the industry is taking notice of Agrify’s tech enabled and data driven solutions. With NHM's cultivation facility serving as a showcase, interest in Agrify's cutting-edge technology has significantly increased, with an uptick in tour requests from eager industry enthusiasts.
