C21 Investments Announces Q4 Earnings Date and Provides Operational Update
VANCOUVER, BC, May 22, 2025 /CNW/ - C21 Investments Inc. (CSE: CXXI and OTCQX: CXXIF) (" C21" or the " Company"), a vertically integrated cannabis company, today announced its expected date for reporting its audited fiscal year end financial results for the period ended March 31, 2025. The Company is also taking the opportunity to provide an operational update for the period. All currency is reported in U.S. dollars. The Company recently changed its fiscal reporting period to a March 31 st year-end and will not have traditional year-over-year comparable reporting periods for its fourth quarter.
The Company is pleased to share an update on its existing operations for its fourth quarter, ended March 31, 2025. C21 anticipates releasing audited results by June 24, 2025.
For Q4 (January–March 2025), C21 reported revenue of $8.1 million, a 3% increase from $7.9 million in Q3 (October–December 2024). Compared to the previous Q4 (ended January 31, 2024), revenue grew by 24%. Gross margins for Q4 are projected at approximately 45%. Over the fiscal year (Q4 vs. Q1), C21 achieved a 23% revenue increase (see table below). The company sustained robust retail sales growth, with a 26% increase over the same period.
All Silver State Relief dispensaries recorded sequential same-store sales growth in Q4. Notably, the South Reno store, opened in July 2024, has achieved over 100% same-store sales growth, rising from $273,000 in its first full operational month, July 2024, to $580,780 in March 2025. Customer transactions grew consistently across all dispensaries each quarter, with a 38% increase in retail transactions over the fiscal year (Q4 vs. Q1).
CEO and President, Sonny Newman, stated, "We look forward to sharing our fourth quarter and year-end results in June, which will showcase sequential same store sales growth across each of our Silver State Relief dispensaries despite seasonal and industry challenges. Our performance underscores the strength of our retail brand and the exceptional dedication of our team."
Non-GAAP Measures:
C21 reports its financial results in accordance with GAAP and uses a number of financial measures when assessing its results and measuring overall performance. Some of these financial measures and ratios are not calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company refers to certain Non-GAAP financial measures such as "Free Cash Flow", "Adjusted EBITDA" and "same store sales". These measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. The Company considers these measures to be an important indicator of the financial strength and performance of its business. The Company believes the adjusted results presented provide relevant and useful information for investors because they clarify the Company's actual operating performance, make it easier to compare the Company's results with those of other companies and allow investors to review performance in the same way as the management of the Company. Since these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, the Company's reported results as indicators of the Company's performance, and they may not be comparable to similarly named measures from other companies. The tables below provide reconciliations of Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
"Free Cash Flow" is defined as Cash Provided by Operating Activities from Continuing Operations adding back income tax expense and before changes in working capital, minus capital expenditures. Management believes that Free Cash Flow, which measures our ability to generate cash from our continuing business operations, is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company's financial performance. Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, consolidated net income as a measure of our performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
" Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as EBITDA (earnings before depreciation and amortization, depreciation and interest in cost of sales, income taxes, and interest) less accretion, loss from discontinued operations, one-time transaction costs and all other non-cash items. The Company has presented "Adjusted EBITDA" because its management believes it is a useful measure for investors when assessing and considering the Company's continuing operations and prospects for the future. Furthermore, "Adjusted EBITDA" is a commonly used measurement in the financial community when evaluating the market value of similar companies.

SLKOR Brand Visual Identity System (VIS Version 25.04) Interpretation
In today's era, a brand is not only a corporate identifier but also the external manifestation of a company's culture and core values. Throughout its development, SLKOR has consistently regarded brand building as a crucial element of the company's growth. In May 2025, the company officially launched and fully implemented the "VIS Standardization System (Version 25.04)", aiming to enhance brand recognition and market competitiveness through a unified visual identity system. To ensure the smooth rollout and deep integration of the new VIS, General Manager Song Shiqiang personally led specialized training sessions, detailing the brand values and significance conveyed by this system. He emphasized: "Brand building concerns the first impression we make on customers, peers, and resource contributors. Every detail represents the image of SLKOR, and everyone must attach great importance to it." These elements incorporate aspects of traditional Chinese culture while reflecting the contemporary characteristics of the company's informatization, digitization, and globalization, enabling us to spread Chinese culture globally, tell the Chinese story well, and effectively sell products researched, developed, and manufactured in China. VIS, the Visual Identity System, is a crucial way for a company to present its brand image externally. The SLKOR"VIS Standardization System (Version 25.04)" not only systematically optimizes visual elements such as the company's brand logo and fonts but also introduces new items like gifts and eco-bags. It permeates every detail inside and outside the company through six categories of display forms, including the office environment, apparel, and mascot, thereby strengthening the SLKOR brand's recognition and memorability. I. Brand Logo & Slogan The SLKOR brand logo employs a classic red and yellow color scheme. The dominant, steady, and imposing red is paired with vibrant yellow typography, highlighting the distinct image of "SLKOR" as a domestic brand. The layout of the logo and slogan is generous and comfortable. The angled treatment of the font creates a visual tension suggestive of readiness for action. SLKOR Logo (Chinese & English Versions) II. Company Business Cards & PPT Templates SLKOR business cards and PPT templates primarily feature a red color scheme, incorporating carbon grey PCB circuit patterns as the design base. The visual impact of the red-grey contrast breaks the monotony of a single dull tone while cleverly highlighting the company's high-tech attributes. The business cards are specifically printed on ice-white paper, featuring a smooth, textured surface that exudes a modern feel. SLKOR PPT Template Design (Inner Page) III. Apparel SLKOR's workwear and basketball jerseys continue the brand's iconic red primary color. Maintaining visual consistency, Mr. Song Shiqiang introduced subtle variations in the logo's font details. This ensures the workwear projects a professional corporate image while radiating SLKOR's steady and imposing brand essence, whereas the basketball jerseys showcase vigorous youthful energy. SLKOR Workwear SLKOR Workwear Display SLKOR Style Basketball Jersey "SLKOR Warriors Basketball Team" Team Building Display IV. Mascot (AI Robot) "Vitality Kid" serves as SLKOR's brand ambassador. Its dynamic posture and bright smile embody the team's energetic spirit. Its electronic eye design and tech-inspired antenna elements retain the affinity of a cartoon character while accurately conveying the professional attributes of the semiconductor industry. Its current application is within SLKOR's AI intelligent customer service robot. Mr. Song Shiqiang indicated that peripheral products like mouse pads, nap pillows, plush dolls, and keychains will be launched in the future! SLKOR Mascot --- VITALITY KID V. Tape & Stickers SLKOR's shipping cartons adopt a minimalist design philosophy, using a striking honeycomb hexagonal array to intuitively display product series. This not only reflects the systematic thinking of a tech enterprise but also ensures the rapid recognition of visual information. Currently, SLKOR products comprise three main series: Diodes & Transistors, Power Devices, and Power Management ICs. New products like Hall Sensors, ADCs, and BMS have also been launched, with years of technical accumulation in dedicated MCUs and interface chips!

SLKOR Tape and Carton Display The red advertising stickers feature a subtle PCB circuit pattern background texture, showcasing the company's focus on electronic components. SLKOR Office Space Advertising Sticker Display VI. Brand Penetration Peripheral Gift Series SLKOR's corporate gifts adhere to the design philosophy of "Simple, Practical, Quality First." They select everyday, high-frequency-use items as carriers to showcase the corporate image through unified brand visual language. The gift series includes red business umbrellas, portable silent fans, custom mineral water, wireless Bluetooth earphones, fast-charging power banks, foldable advertising fans, multi-functional phone stands, and eco-friendly canvas tote bags. Each product is crafted from high-quality materials and imprinted with SLKOR's iconic red brand logo. SLKOR Various Small Gift Series SLKOR Eco Bag The above six forms, whether in the logo, apparel, or various details, convey the core values and philosophy of the SLKOR brand. General Manager Song Shiqiang stated that the implementation of the VIS standardization system is a long-term, significant project. It requires continuous refinement, professional focus, and attention to detail, leading to gradual perfection, enhanced competitiveness, and the achievement of sustainable development goals. This aligns with the corporate cultural concepts of "Integrity", "Continuous Improvement", "Resilience", and "Attention to Detail" shared by Kinghelm and SLKOR. It is beneficial for elevating the brand image and communication efficiency of both "Kinghelm" and "SLKOR", fostering internal cohesion and centripetal force within the company, accelerating the internationalization process of Kinghelm and SLKOR, and is also a manifestation of the company's soft power! As the company's strength and scale increase, SLKOR will continue to deepen its brand strategy in the future. Guided by the new VIS system, it will provide customers with higher-quality products and services, further enhancing the brand's influence and competitiveness in the market, and striving relentlessly to become a leading semiconductor brand in China.

Almonty Industries: The new Pillar of Western Raw Material Security
The Western world is facing a raw material crisis with explosive geopolitical implications. In recent months, China has drastically tightened its export controls on critical minerals, affecting primarily strategically important metals such as gallium, germanium, antimony, and, most recently, tungsten. These raw materials are indispensable for the defense industry, semiconductor production, and high-tech manufacturing. Amid this tense situation, one company that is positioning itself as an important part of the solution is stepping into the spotlight: Almonty Industries (TSX: AII). The tungsten specialist operates strategically located tungsten projects in South Korea, Portugal, and Spain and will soon play a key role in supplying Western industries, as global tungsten supplies are expected to run critically low in the near future. Almonty as a countermodel to Chinese dependency Since mid-2023, China has gradually tightened its control over the export of critical raw materials. Gallium and germanium, essential for the semiconductor and solar industries, have been subject to strict export restrictions since August 2023. Antimony, a metal used in ammunition, batteries, and military equipment, followed in 2024. Particularly controversial is the increasingly restrictive handling of exports of so-called dual-use materials – substances with both civilian and military applications. Tungsten, an extremely hard and dense metal used in missile tips, armor plating, microchips, and cutting tools, also falls under these regulations. The consequences are already becoming apparent: According to Martin Hotwagner of Steel & Metals Market Research in Austria, every vehicle contains an average of around 300 grams of tungsten – most of which is lost during recycling. The result: declining reserves, rising prices, and increasing pressure to act in the US, Europe, and Japan. As supplies dwindle, he expects Western companies will run out of tungsten by the end of the summer. Western governments are urgently looking for alternatives – and in doing so, they are turning their attention to Almonty Industries. The strategic rise of Almonty Industries In recent years, Almonty (TSX: AII) has systematically positioned itself as a non-Chinese supplier of tungsten and, in the future, molybdenum. With the Sangdong mine in South Korea set to start production soon, the Company is in a unique position: once operational, Sangdong will be one of the largest sources of tungsten outside China and will be able to cover up to 40% of non-Chinese global production. The mine has a life span of over 90 years, and the rock has an exceptionally high tungsten content. The geopolitical relevance has not gone unnoticed: the US, which classifies tungsten as critical to national security, has already recognized Almonty as a strategic partner. The Company has signed exclusive purchase agreements with US defense contractors, including price floors guaranteeing a long-term economic basis. At the same time, Almonty is planning a NASDAQ listing and relocating its headquarters to the US in order to be more closely connected both politically and in terms of regulation. In recent weeks, two US military representatives, General Gustave Perna and Alan Estevez, have joined Almonty's board of directors. Conclusion: From mine operator to guarantor of Western supply security At a time when China is deliberately using its economic power as a political lever, independent sources of raw materials are becoming increasingly important. Almonty Industries (TSX: AII) not only meets this requirement but also offers a stable foundation for Western industrial policy thanks to its geographical diversification, operational experience, and political connections. The beginning of the restructuring of global supply chains is no longer theory – it is reality. And right at the heart of it: a tungsten producer that is in the right place at precisely the right time. The planned NASDAQ listing will open access to the world's largest capital market and should significantly increase demand for Almonty shares. Peter Thilo Hasler, an analyst at Sphene Capital, has issued a 'Buy' recommendation for Almonty with a price target of CAD 5.40.
