Origin House Announces Unaudited Revenues of $11 Million

Origin House, formerly known as CannaRoyalty (CSE: OH) (OTCQX: ORHOF)  announced preliminary unaudited revenue of approximately C$11 million for the first quarter ending March 31, 2019. No profit or loss numbers were revealed.

The company also noted that April was off to a good start with approximately C$6.5 million in unaudited revenue. The wholly-owned distribution division, Continuum contributed approximately $4.8 million of that amount in April.

“As we outlined on our Q4 call less than a month ago, momentum is building in the California market for all legal players and for Origin House specifically. Q1 and the month of April were record revenue periods for the Company, and also record periods for the number of top California cannabis brands that our team successfully onboarded,” said Marc Lustig, Chairman and CEO of Origin House. “If 2018 was a year of building for Origin House, 2019 is rapidly progressing toward an inflection point where the platform we have built begins to demonstrate its true financial power, with brands signed early in the year, rolling-out through our network and a robust pipeline of brand opportunities ahead of us.”

The approximate gross margin for the first quarter was 15% and the company said it expects gross margin to continue to trend upwards from the first quarter to the second.

The company announced on May 3, that it had obtained an interim order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in which Cresco Labs Inc. will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Origin House. Receipt of the interim order authorizes Origin House to hold its special meeting of shareholders on June 11, 2019.

Lustig added, “I very much look forward to working alongside the team at Cresco Labs Inc. to leverage our complementary footprints and management skillsets to build a dominant North American cannabis consumer brands company.”

Both Cresco Labs and Origin House will release their earnings on May 29.
