Press Release: True Leaf Reports Strong Revenue Growth

Revenues of True Hemp(TM) pet supplements grow by 280% year over year

Vernon, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 28, 2018) – True Leaf Medicine International Ltd. (CSE: MJ) (OTCQB: TRLFF) (FSE: TLA) (“True Leaf“), a plant-forward wellness brand for people and their pets, has announced results for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, including record sales of $1.4 million (CAD).

These results represent a 280% increase in revenue over the previous fiscal year ($368,536) and a 286% increase of fourth quarter sales year over year, from $99,331 to $383,844.

Revenue growth was primarily fueled by True Leaf expanding the reach of its True Leaf Pet division to new locations in-store and online. True Hemp™ dog chews, dental sticks, and supplement oils are now sold in more than 1,800 stores worldwide, including in Canada, the United States, and Europe through retailers such as PetSmart Canada, Pets Corner UK, and Amazon.

True Leaf Pet, a division of True Leaf, pioneered hemp-seed based pet supplements that provide calming support, promote hip and joint health, and help immune and heart function. The company’s True Hemp™ line is one of the first hemp-based pet products to be marketed worldwide.

“The strong revenue growth for True Leaf Pet demonstrates that pet owners worldwide want natural products with real health benefits for their pets,” said Darcy Bomford, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of True Leaf. “Customers return to our products because they see the results — they trust our products.”

Through its other division, True Leaf Medicine, the company is building True Leaf Campus, a cannabis cultivation and production facility that will provide medicinal cannabis for people under Health Canada’s Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR) program.

The first phase of the project includes a two-storey 9,000 square foot central hub for the initial grow area, laboratory services, whole-plant extraction, and the production of therapeutic cannabis products, plus a 16,000 square foot wing for cannabis cultivation. Ownership of the 40-acre site in Lumby, British Columbia, means the company is well-positioned to expand to meet future market demands.
