Trulieve Posts Strong Numbers in Second Quarter Financial Results

Yesterday, Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (OTCMKTS: TCNNF) (CNSX: TRUL) announced the release of its second quarter financial results.

Year-over-year, Trulieve’s increased 149% from $23.3 million to $57.9 million. Keeping pace with revenue, operating expenses also rose from $6 million to 14.8 million, representing a 146% increase. Gross profit was $37.6 million, and the gross profit margin was 65%. Adjusted EBITDA was $31.6 million.

A considerable amount of the company’s growth was due to a rise in the number of medical cannabis patients in Florida, which increased by 19%. Driving patient growth was the introduction of cannabis flower to market, which accounted for 50% of total product sales in the state for the second quarter. As of June 30, 2019, there were 181,000 medical cannabis patients in Florida.

Quarterly Highlights

During the last quarter, Trulieve expanded its total cultivation capacity to 1.6 million square feet, completed its acquisition of The Healing Corner medical cannabis dispensary, closed a public debt offering of $70 million, and commenced trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the symbol TCNNF.

Additionally, the company’s founders extended a voluntary lock-up agreement of their 65,253,093 shares, or approximately 59% of shares outstanding on an as-converted basis, until July 2020.  Trulieve also closed its sale-leaseback transaction with Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. to provide capital for its Holyoke, Massachusetts cultivation and processing site.

“Our strong financial results for the quarter combined with our operational and foundational evolution illustrates that Trulieve is not just a cannabis company, but an organization that possesses the key fundamentals expected of leading companies across all industries,” said Kim Rivers, CEO of Trulieve. “By continuing to focus on operational efficiencies, maintaining sound financial discipline, and leveraging our strong brand awareness and patient loyalty within current markets and in future expansion initiatives, we expect our efforts to translate to new strong results throughout the remainder of 2019.”
