Earnings Release

As TheCannalysts were engaged by WeedMD to consult on preparation, format and content of Management Discussion and Analysis (although not for the previous four Q’s) we will not be providing any narrative to the Quarter in Pictures, and we will stand down from preparing “Structure & Current State” until such time as they are no longer a client OR until we believe we have put enough distance between engagement and analysis so as not to impact analysis.  The peer comparisons and tables kind of speak for themselves.

The following is data pulled from Weed MD financials and those of their peers.  (Math not analysis.)

Ohh.. and I asked a question on the conference call on how they grade themselves on integrating Starseed acquisition against the expectations, for those that are interested.

Income Statement Drivers & Breakeven: Trend

Ohhh, that 1% GM really makes breakeven skyrocket.

Table 1: Revenue by Segment

NOTE: As Adult Use and Wholesale Revenue was not broken out, I imputed the Wholesale revenue by multiplying Average Selling Price by Grams sold.  On the CC it was indicated that ASP does not include extracts.  Not sure if grams sold does or not.  Adult Use was the remaining non-Direct to Customer Revenue less imputed Wholesale.

Gross Margin includes an inventory impairment of $1.2 million.  If that was backed out GM would have been $1.3 million or 21%.
