Namaste Turns Corner On Losses, Increases Revenue

Gross revenue for the fourth quarter ended November 30, 2020, was $8.0 million versus $4.0 million in the same period last year. Namaste trimmed its net losses in the fourth quarter to $6.4 million versus a net loss of $29.7 million for the fourth quarter in 2019. The company attributed the  $3.3 million improvements in net revenue for the fourth quarter to the increased revenues from the sale of cannabis products.

“We are pleased with the progress made by the team to achieve the highest recorded quarterly revenue for the company to date,” said Meni Morim, CEO of Namaste. “We achieved significant year-over-year growth of revenue as cannabis sales through CannMart’s distribution channels made an important contribution to the revenue stream. The Company is in a strong financial position today made possible from the considerable work undertaken in 2020 to lay the foundation for long term growth as Namaste continues its evolution to be the world’s foremost personalized wellness marketplace.”
