The average analyst estimate for revenues was $106 million according to Yahoo Finance. Net income increased by 49.2% to $15.4 million.

Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (OTCQX: RWBYF) delivered its first-quarter financial results as revenue fell to $11.8 million from the fourth quarter’s revenue of $15.7 million.
