Distillate volumes sold increased by 118% from the comparative period ending Q2’22 resulting in revenue growth of 36% to $5.4M from $4.0M despite market price compression in the price of distillate. Revenue growth was driven by an expanding customer base with increased demand in distillate inputs for both vape and infused pre-rolls.

Gross Margin Before Fair Value Adjustments was 42.8% compared to 55.4% in the prior year period. The decline in gross margin is primarily attributed to a significant drop in the price of wholesale distillate. Cost of goods sold increased by 74% from the comparative period due to the significant increase in distillate volume produced and sold as noted above. The Company continues to work towards production efficiencies to combat price compression in the wholesale distillate market as production and sales continued to ramp up.

Total general & administrative (“G&A”) expenses declined by $189k or 8% from prior comparative period, driven by year-over-year reductions in management fees, marketing, share based compensation and repairs and maintenance expenses. G&A decreased to 39% of revenue during the period, compared with 58% in the prior year.

Loss and comprehensive loss in Q2’23 was $(2.0M) which is a $1.2M increase from the prior year period loss of $(794k). The year-over-year increase in loss is primarily driven by an increase in changes in fair value of inventory sold, and reduction in income from other items relating to a one time settlement of $258k in the comparative period.

Cash and Working Capital

As at May 31, 2023, the Company had working capital of $1,715,664 (November 30, 2022 – $3,683,558) which consisted of cash of $1,531,378 (November 30, 2022 - $1,810,639), receivables of $2,183,575 (November 30, 2022 - $1,906,820), prepaid expenses of $19,432 (November 30, 2022 - $3,885), inventory of $4,144,802 (November 30, 2022 - $5,766,418).
