Ovation Science Announces Corporate Update
Business Model and Product Development Expands

Vancouver, British Columbia – (May 9, 2019) – Ovation Science Inc. (CSE: OVAT) (“Ovation” or the “Company”), a topical and transdermal cannabis product development company with a patented skin delivery technology and backed by over twenty years of research and development, today provided a corporate update to the Company’s shareholders and other stakeholders.

“The first four months of 2019 have already proven to be an exciting time for Ovation.” said Terry Howlett, CEO of Ovation. “We see a great momentum in the CBD market with the passing of the Farm Act last year and a parallel increase in the US dispensary (marijuana) market as more and more states approve the use of cannabis.” He added, “This has propelled our Company to increase the distribution channels for our products and to undertake the development of additional cannabis products powered by Invisicare® delivery technology.”

BUSINESS PROGRESS:

  • Ovation Science trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the ticker OVAT reaches 52 week high in May;
  • Business model expanded from royalty model with low COGS to also include high-margin retail model with announcement of Company’s own skincare line called ARLO Beauty;
  • Ovation’s US licensee’s brand BASKiN was the # 1 topical cannabis product sold in Nevada dispensaries in April 2019 (Source: Headset.io);
  • US royalty revenue increased over 50% from March to April in conjunction with the launch of new THC transdermal cream in Nevada dispensaries.

PRODUCT INITIATIVES:

  • Four products available in Nevada marijuana dispensaries including THC transdermal cream, believed to be the world’s first recreational THC cream;
  • Announcement of hemp-derived CBD anti-aging product line ARLO Beauty with initially four products with line extensions planned for later in the year;
  • Ovation’s CBD SPF 30 sunscreen passed independent testing for highest claims available: broad-spectrum and 80 minutes water-resistance;
  • Company’s science-based product development process now enhanced by prestigious International Medical Dermatology Advisory Board.

Howlett continued, “Ovation’s revenue strategy is now a combination of two distinct paths; a licensing strategy complimented with a retail strategy. First, we have a licensing strategy which provides upfront licensing fees, development fees and on-going royalties as well as the sale of Invisicare®, our polymer-based delivery technology. Secondly, we have a retail strategy which we will be implementing with the launch of our ARLO Beauty products made with hemp-derived CBD. Our objective is build both of these channels as we expand both geographically across the USA with our US licensee and our own retail brand Arlo Beauty as well as internationally with new licensees. We are also executing on a product line growth plan as we leverage our extensive knowledge in topical and transdermal product development and look towards our new Dermatology Advisory Board for further guidance. We not only have a strong team to execute on these initiatives, we see the demand in the marketplace for unique cannabis products and we have the technology that can deliver CBD and THC effectively.”

The Company’s products are powered by Invisicare® technology which is protected in eleven countries with comprehensive patent protection covering manufacturing, composition and use. These patents reaffirm the Company’s unique position as a science-based, technology leader in the topical cannabis market.
