“We are happy to report on Earth Alive’s strongest sales quarter yet, with sales of $1,048,908 and a first profit for the Infrastructure & Maintenance division. Earth Alive’s proprietary EA1 dust suppressant is gaining important market recognition and we expect to build on this momentum. Few products out there can tackle dust emissions on a large scale, in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way, all the while substantially reducing water waste like EA1” stated Michael Warren, President & CEO, and added “ We also remain positive on the outlook for the agricultural division; sales were slightly weaker than those of the prior year, with $548,510 YTD compared to $750,580 YTD 2018, in part due to the important flooding in Peru and the Corporation’s limited resources, but we see this as picking up in the short term.”
Corporate Highlights during Q3-2019
- The 590.702 litres of EA1 (representing 28% of the $2.6M order placed in 2019) were delivered and the products is now being used at the client’s Latin America mining operations until Q2-2020.
- Earth Alive entered into a trial agreement with a mining company to conduct a 20.000 m2 test application of EA1 Dust Suppressant at one their mines located in southern Africa, representing sales of C$126,000 for delivery in Q4-2019.
- The conditional approval of the TSX Venture Exchange for the listing Earth Alive’s common shares and the warrants issued under the prospectus was obtained. The Corporation anticipates announcing the effective date of the transfer to the TSXV in the coming days.
“We are also very pleased that the holders of the Corporation’s secured convertible debentures all agreed to convert their debentures into common shares of Earth Alive. By eliminating this secured debt from our balance sheet and presenting a stronger financial position, we expect that potential customers and business partners will be more likely to invest time and money in the product adoption process and will seek to build long term relationships with Earth Alive. Adding new users is key to building a strong client base for the Corporation’s products and as the sales cycle is a lengthy process requiring sustained efforts and support, namely during the trial process, any uncertainties as to the long-term viability of the Corporation were an important barrier to business development. With a clean balance sheet and adequate funding, we can now move ahead with our strategic plan and fully focus on to the growth of the business” stated Michael Warren.
