  1. The Company’s financial statements for fiscal year 2021 and 2020 are audited by an external assurance firm.
  2. The Company adjusts its revenue by adding back the value of jewelry that was returned by customers, revenue from orders for which fulfillment is under process, and discounts given to customers. These adjustments are made to assess the gross revenue before deducting these items from revenue per IFRS. See Non-IFRS Measures for a full reconciliation.
  3. The Company adjusts its total comprehensive income (loss) by removing the impact of non-cash expenses, consisting of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, accretion, loss on debt retirement, revaluation of metal loan and translation gain or loss. See Non-IFRS Measures for a full reconciliation.
  4. Inventory balances in kilograms of gold are calculated by taking the total Canadian Dollar (CAD) inventory value at each quarter-end date and dividing the value by the CAD gold spot price per gram.

STATEMENT FROM FOUNDER & CEO ROY SEBAG:

Menē delivered a decent result this quarter in light of the increasing economic headwinds and the general slowdown in consumer spending. We managed to grow our year over year revenues by roughly 2% from an exceptionally strong Q1 2021. Gross profit was nearly $2 million and we produced around $0.3 million in IFRS operating income for the quarter. It should also be noted that the IFRS net loss is due to the market-to-market revaluation of the precious metal loan from Goldmoney Inc., and not as a result of operating activity. These fluctuations are less important to management than our core operating performance. We ended the quarter with a strong cash position of $11.6 million. This is the highest level of cash we have maintained over the past two years. While it appears the risks of an economic recession are growing, we remain focused on our long-term growth plans and continue to make prudent investments in our manufacturing and distribution capacity. Ultimately, we want to ensure that we minimize our dependency on the global economic situation and concentrate our efforts on the secular trend inherent to our business model.

Non-IFRS Measures

This news release contains non-IFRS financial measures; the Company believes that these measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of its business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating its business. Although management believes these financial measures are important in evaluating the Company’s performance, they are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and may not be comparable with similar measures used by other companies. For certain non-IFRS financial measures, there are no directly comparable amounts under IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be viewed as alternatives to measures of financial performance determined in accordance with IFRS. Moreover, presentation of certain of these measures is provided for year-over-year comparison purposes, and investors should be cautioned that the effect of the adjustments thereto provided herein have an actual effect on the Company’s operating results.

Non-IFRS Adjusted Revenue2 is a non-IFRS measure. The Company adjusts its revenue by adding back the value of jewelry that was returned by customers, revenue from orders not yet delivered, and discounts given to customers. These adjustments are made to assess the gross revenue before deducting these items per IFRS revenue. The closest comparable IFRS measure is revenue.

Non-IFRS Adjusted Income (loss)3 is a non-IFRS measure. Non-IFRS Adjusted Income (Loss) is a non-IFRS measure, calculated as total comprehensive income (loss), excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, accretion, revaluation of metal loan, loss on debt retirement and translation gain or loss. The closest comparable IFRS measure is total comprehensive income (loss).

For a full definition of non-IFRS financial measures used herein to their nearest IFRS equivalents, please see the section entitled “Non-IFRS Financial Measures” in the Company’s MD&A for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
