TORONTO, Nov. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Water Ways Technologies Inc. (TSXV: WWT) (FRA: WWT) ("Water Ways" or the "Company"), a global provider of Israeli-based agriculture technology, providing water irrigation solutions to agricultural producers, announces the filing of its Interim Financial Statements (the "Statements") and Managements Discussion and Analysis (the "MD&A") for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2022. A comprehensive discussion of Water Ways’ financial position and results of operations is provided in the MD&A, filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com)

Mr. Ohad Haber, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Water Ways states: "We are continuing to build and grow Water Ways Technologies. As a result of the slowdown in financing opportunities in Uzbekistan due to the war in the Ukraine we have shifted our focus to our North and South American business which resulted in record sales of our Canadian business and an increase in our business in South America even before consolidating the results from our Chilean acquisition."

Highlights – Q3 2022 (the following information should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified by, the Statements and the MD&A)

  • Sales for the nine months period ended September 30, 2022, totaling CAD$12.1M compared to CAD$15.8M for the nine months period ended September 30, 2021. Decrease in sales was due to a delay in the commencement of the Uzbekistan projects.

  • Record sales of the Company's Canadian subsidiary, Heartnut Grove WWT Inc., which increased and reached CAD$5.7M for the nine months period ended September 30, 2022, compared to CAD$4.3M for nine months period ended September 30, 2021.

  • Company's product sales to South and Central America increased to CAD$4.3M for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 compared to CAD$3.6M for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021.

  • Net profit for the nine months period ended September 30, 2022 amounted to CAD$3.5M compared to a loss of CAD$0.7M for the nine months period ended September 30, 2021.

  • Working capital remains flat as of June 31, 2022 totaled CAD$4.8M compared to CAD$4.5M as of December 31, 2021.

  • On July 22, 2022, the Company closed a financing of 746 Convertible Debenture units at a price of CAD$1,000 (one thousand) per unit, for gross proceeds of CAD$0.746M.

  • The Company's board of directors had approved the execution of a definitive agreement for the acquisition of 51% of the Shares of Hidrotop, a Chilean irrigation company. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has yet to announce closing until certain conditions under the share purchase agreement will be fulfilled. The company expects to announce closing on the last quarter of 2022 or the first quarter of 2023.

  • During the three months period ended March 31, 2022, the Company received the largest contracts in its history in Uzbekistan, resulting in orders of over CAD$9.4M. The war in Ukraine impacts the Company and causes delays in 2022 projects in Uzbekistan and other regional territories which conduct business with Russia. The unstable events in the region had forced the Company to be conservative and not recognize revenue from Uzbekistan projects (including the projects announced on press releases dated January 31, 2022 and February 10, 2022) during the nine months period ended September 30,2022.

  • Derivative Liability – Warrants relates to a classification under IFRS of outstanding warrants issued as part of the 2021 Private Placement as a non-cash liability that arises due to the difference in operational currency and functional currency. This liability is revalued each period by an independent third party. The revaluation is at fair value through profit and loss.
