Cubicfarm chief executive officer Dave Dinesen commented: "We are very excited for our future at Cubicfarm. The last year has been an investment-heavy year for us, setting us up for this year's focus on sales and growth. We have heavily invested in strengthening our management team, expanding our crop varieties to be able to capture more verticals in the fresh produce, animal feed, hemp/cannabis and nutraceutical ingredients space, and expanding our international sales pipeline.

"Recent developments, such as increasingly large machine orders and the signing of our first global reseller arrangement to augment our own sales and marketing efforts, position us well to meet our vision of driving sales by constantly innovating through increased automation and expansion of verticals served in the market."

Cubicfarm's year-end financial statements and management's discussion and analysis will be issued and filed on SEDAR on Nov. 14, 2019, and will be available on the same day on Cubicfarm's website.
