Acreage Holdings Revenues Fall Sequentially

After the market closed on Thursday, Acreage Holdings, Inc. (CSE: ACRG.A.U, ACRG.B.U), (OTCQX: ACRHF, ACRDF) reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022. Acreage reported total revenue of $56.9 million, an increase of $18.5 million or 48% compared to the first quarter of 2021. However, revenue fell sequentially by $1.2 million or 2% versus the fourth quarter. It also missed the Yahoo Finance average analyst estimates for revenue of $58 million.

The company said that the growth was primarily driven by the acquisitions of Ohio, California, and Maine operations over the past 12 months, which was somewhat offset by revenue declines due to the divestiture of Florida operations in April 2021 and declines within the company’s operations that are being held for sale. Excluding the company’s California and Oregon operations which are not considered core, however, revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022, increased slightly by 0.5% on a sequential basis as the company was able to overcome challenges associated with the pandemic and industry pricing pressures which negatively impacted revenues.

Acreage reported a net loss of $(12.7) million, compared to $(7.8) million in the first quarter of 2021.

“In the first quarter of 2022, we achieved our fifth consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA and sequentially improved our gross margin, while continuing to grow revenue despite industry headwinds and pandemic related challenges in Q1,” said Peter Caldini, CEO of Acreage. “We remain focused and committed to delivering against our strategic priorities of accelerating our growth in our core markets, driving profitability, and strengthening our balance sheet.”

New Jersey

On a positive note, Acreage was able to begin adult-use sales in New Jersey as part of an inaugural group of cannabis operators permitted to launch adult-use sales in the state. Acreage’s products, including its flagship brand The Botanist, are now available for adult-use consumers at its Egg Harbor Township and Williamstown dispensaries in southern New Jersey.

Mr. Caldini concluded, “Following the end of the quarter we were thrilled to begin adult-use sales in New Jersey. We are well-prepared for this market having recently completed the expansion of our Egg Harbor facility in anticipation of adult-use sales beginning this year. We have had a very successful launch and are looking forward to leveraging our expertise from New Jersey as we prepare for pending adult-use sales in New York and Connecticut. 2022 has started on strong footing for us and we remain committed to further delivering shareholder value as we execute on the significant growth opportunities ahead.”
