Cansortium

Cansortium Inc. (CSE:TIUM.U) (OTCQB: CNTMF) reported its second quarter revenue today. Consolidated revenue increased to $6.1 million. The consolidated net loss was $5.3 million. Consolidated EBITDA was $1.8 million. “While we continued to execute our strategy to expand cultivation, processing, and dispensaries during the second quarter, a combination of unexpected delays in construction needed in order to secure final regulatory approvals at our Tampa cultivation Phase 2 expansion, as well as delays in opening certain previously planned Florida dispensaries, led to second quarter revenues that were lower than originally anticipated. As a result, we are experiencing an approximate six-month delay on our plans presented earlier in the year,” said Cansortium CEO Jose Hidalgo.

Vireo Health

Today, Vireo Health International, Inc. (CNSX: VREO) (OTCQX: VREOF) reported its financial results for the second quarter. Operating revenue totaled $7.2 million, and the net loss was approximately $1.9 million.  EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA were $0.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively. “Increasing patient enrollment in Minnesota and New York continued contributing to organic revenue growth during the second quarter, and wholesale demand trends in Maryland and Pennsylvania have also been encouraging signs that our products can compete effectively within a broader marketplace,” said Vireo Founder and CEO, Kyle Kingsley.

Gabriella’s Kitchen

Gabriella’s Kitchen Inc. (CSE: GABY) also released their financial results for the quarter. Revenue was $2.5 million, up from $319,737 in the same period in the previous year. The gross loss declined from $264,607 to $49,712. As of June 30, 2019, the company has $11.5 million in cash and $37.3 million in assets. “When we announced our target on May 7, 2019 of $35 million in pro-forma revenue for the fiscal year, we took into account that Q2 would be a slower quarter due to the delayed closing of our $20 million raise, the company’s short-term decision to allocate available capital to maintain relationships and shelf space with dispensaries, and the transitioning from a shared distribution model in Southern California to a sole distribution model, staffed with our internal salespeople,” said Margot Micallef, Founder and CEO of GABY.
