Bee Vectoring Technologies Announces June 8 Investor Webinar and Comments on Q2 FY2022 Results

Mississauga, Ontario and Sacramento, California–(Newsfile Corp. – May 31, 2022) – Bee Vectoring Technologies International Inc. (CSE: BEE) (OTCQB: BEVVF) (CVE:BEE) (the “Company” or “BVT”) today announced its next Investor Webinar, to be held on June 8, 2022. In it, BVT CEO Ashish Malik will share the Company’s progress over the first half of the year and discuss 2022 initiatives and commercialization strategies.

“I look forward to sharing details of the Company’s success in executing its strategy through March 31, 2022,” says Mr. Malik. “We have made meaningful progress in all three parts of our corporate strategy: continued commercial progression in the US; geographic expansion; and portfolio expansion and extension.”

BVT’s business is seasonal and follows bloom cycles as they occur at different times for different crops during the year across the US. The BVT system is used in the Southeast from December to March, in Northern US and the Pacific Northwest from April to June and even beyond for some late blooming varieties, and in California for most of the year. “Revenue in the first half of fiscal 2022 was flat compared with 2021, when accounting for differences in invoice timing,” says Mr. Malik. “However, with existing commitments in place and a strong pipeline, growth is expected in the remaining quarters of this year, with additional new customers and revenue expected from states with later growing seasons. We are seeing high demand in berry markets across the US and commitments for sales and commercial demos, with the latter being an indication of future sales prospects, and we are expecting to be well ahead of 2021.”

“Q2 2022 results reflect the very difficult conditions faced by farmers in the Southeast, particularly in Georgia, which is currently BVT’s biggest market. Growers faced fertilizer and fuel price increases of 40% to 100% over the last year and hard freezes hit the state just before and during the blueberry bloom period, leading to partial or complete crop losses. Despite these challenges, BVT maintained its level of sales in Georgia.”

During the Webinar, Malik will provide additional details on:

• BVT’s activities to expand into crops beyond berries, including a robust program of almond trials and grower demos, which represents a significant opportunity;
• The Company’s first cherry trial, which marks BVT’s entry into the stone fruit crop group;
• Strategic expansion projects underway in Peru, Mexico, Canada, the European Union, and via partnerships in other countries; and
• Expansion of BVT’s product portfolio and extension of its proprietary plant beneficial microbe Clonostachys rosea CR-7 (“CR-7″) into new markets including:
  • The first commercial agreement with CBC Biogard;
  • Progress with CR-7 in the seed treatment market; and
  • A Memorandum of Understanding with BioSafe Systems, a leader in the agricultural biologicals industry, to work on a foliar / soil-applied end-use product for CR-7.

“We continue to focus on executing our long term growth strategy and are confident that our strategy will provide stable and substantial revenue streams as our technology continues to become an integral part of sustainable agriculture for the future,” adds Mr. Malik.
