(OTCID:GRLF), a leading distributor of premium handmade cigars, today announced a comprehensive corporate update highlighting the company's transformational 2024 achievements and strategic initiatives in 2025.

2024: A Transformational Year

Fiscal year 2024 marked a pivotal transformation for Green Leaf Innovations, establishing the foundation for sustainable long-term growth. The company achieved record annual revenue driven by the successful September 2024 acquisition of SOFLO Wholesaler Group, Inc., which added significant revenue streams and expanded the company's distribution capabilities to serve over 400 retail locations across the United States.

Key 2024-2025 accomplishments included:

Strategic Acquisition: Completed the acquisition of SOFLO Wholesaler Group, Inc., known for distributing the #1 rated cigars among the Top 30 in the industry, significantly expanding the company's brand portfolio and market presence.

International Expansion: Established a strategic partnership with Le Cigaro FZ-LLC in Dubai and the UAE, securing distribution agreements with prestigious hospitality brands including The Ritz-Carlton Dubai, Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts, W Hotel Abu Dhabi, and Abu Dhabi National Hotels.

Distribution Network Growth: Expanded distribution channels to serve over 400 retail locations including cigar lounges, smoke shops, convenience stores, vape shops, and duty-free outlets.

Brand Portfolio Enhancement: Integrated flagship brands MAL.CRI.AO, CUBANACAN, MEDEROS, and TABACALERA SERRANO, creating a comprehensive portfolio of premium handmade cigars.

2025 Strategic Growth Initiatives

Building on the strong foundation established in 2024, Green Leaf Innovations has outlined an aggressive growth strategy in 2025 focused on domestic expansion, operational efficiency, and shareholder value creation.

Retail Partnership Initiative: The Company set a goal to secure partnerships with 1,000 independent retail cigar shops across America doubling its current distribution footprint.

Capital Structure Optimization: The Company's authorized common shares were reduced from Sixty Billion (60,000,000,000) shares to Fifty Million (50,000,000) shares while implementing a 2,500:1 reverse split, we dramatically reduce shareholder dilution risk and create a capital structure that attracts institutional capital.

Digital Transformation: The Company is advancing its e-commerce capabilities and digital infrastructure to capture the growing online premium cigar market and enhance direct-to-consumer engagement.

Management Commentary

Roberto Mederos, Chief Executive Officer of Green Leaf Innovations, commented, "2024-2025 were defining years for Green Leaf Innovations. The successful integration of SOFLO has transformed our company, adding significant revenue, expanding our distribution network, and strengthening our position as a leading player in the premium cigar market.

Premium Cigar Industry Outlook

The global premium cigar market continues to demonstrate strong growth fundamentals, driven by increasing consumer preference for luxury products and the premiumization trend across consumer categories. Nicaragua remains a premier source for premium cigars, with the fertile valleys of Estelí, Jalapa and Condega and Ometepe producing some of the world's most sought-after Handmade Cigars. Green Leaf Innovations' vertically integrated operations and third-generation Cuban tobacco heritage position the company to capitalize on these favorable industry dynamics.
