  • Receipt of BC retail license approval, allowing for imminent closure of BC 5-store acquisition.

The Company has increased revenues in the Quarter by 60% from the first quarter of 2022, while total gross profit has increased by 78% over the same period due to a strengthening retail gross profit margin percentage which averaged 32% in the Quarter compared to 28 % in the first quarter of 2022.

“I am very proud of our team and their exceptional work in delivering continued strong growth in sales and profitability over the past 9 months”, said Campbell Becher, CEO of Trees. Mr. Becher added “With the imminent acquisition of our 5 Trees brand licensed store in BC, anticipated to close before year end, our quarterly revenue and gross profit margin will jump by nearly 50% beginning in the first full quarter after the closing.”

Surging sales growth in 2022 is largely attributed to same-store sales growth of 40% over the third quarter in 2021. Jeff Holmgren, President and CFO said, “our strong same-store sales growth demonstrates the ever-increasing depth of our relationships within existing communities in which we serve. With a continued hyper-focus on the consumer experience, despite intense competition in Canadian retail cannabis markets, Trees is proving its operational excellence while forging a near-term path towards corporate profitability and long term sustainable growth, one customer at a time.”
