Canopy Rivers Delivers Solid Quarter Of C$10 Million In Net Income

Canopy Rivers (RIV.V) reported net income of C$10.9 million for the quarter ending in September versus last year’s net loss of C$2.1 million. The company has cash on hand of C$105 million versus last year’s C$46 million. Canopy Rivers is the investment arm of Canopy Growth (CGC). Canopy Rivers reported earnings per diluted share of seven cents.

During the quarter, the company completed an oversubscribed private placement of subscription receipts at C$3.50 for gross proceeds of approximately C$101 million, co-led by CIBC Capital Markets, GMP Securities L.P., and Eight Capital, and then followed on with a non-brokered private placement of subscription receipts for gross proceeds of approximately C$3.4 million.

“The second quarter was highlighted by several key milestones for Canopy Rivers, including the closing of our private placement financing, our go public transaction and listing on the TSX Venture Exchange, our first European investment, and several new developments from our existing portfolio companies,” said Bruce Linton, Chairman and CEO of Canopy Rivers. “With increasingly progressive global sentiment towards cannabis, a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, and the increased volatility we have observed in the capital markets since legalization, the conditions are there for significant potential gains.  With our strong balance sheet, we believe Canopy Rivers is poised to make highly accretive investments in this robust sector.”

The companies that Canopy Rivers has invested in include:

  • PharmHouse Inc. – a North American greenhouse produce conglomerate with specialized agricultural, production, contract manufacturing, branding, distribution, and logistics experience.
