Financial Highlights – Q3 – 2024
Operating Results
All comparisons below are to the quarter ended September 30, 2023, unless otherwise noted
Revenue was $32.2 million as compared to $24.8 million, an increase of 29.7%. The increase in sales was driven by the addition of Florida as well as strong sales at the Illinois neighborhood store.
Gross profit was $16.7 million or 51.9% as compared to $11.1 million or 44.7%. The improvement in gross margin was driven by a lower cost of cultivation through full utilization of cultivation facilities and better yields, along with the addition of high margin Florida revenue.
Total expenses were $20.0 million as compared to $55.1 million, a decrease of 63.6%. Lower total expenses were driven by lower impairment loss in the quarter.
Net loss of $7.4 million as compared to a net loss of $46.3 million.
Adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 million as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA was higher due to the inclusion of Florida, better gross margin performance, and increased operating leverage.
