Cannara Biotech, a Montreal-based leading cannabis producer, continues to make waves in the industry with its strategic expansion and focus on providing premium quality products. In its latest financial report released Tuesday, the company posted an impressive 89% increase in revenue for the fiscal first quarter (September-November) of 2024 compared to the CA$10.3 million it earned during the same period last year. Furthermore, Cannara Biotech’s net income surged to CA$2.1 million from nearly CA$3,000 in Q1 2023.
Maintaining Its Position in Top Markets
The company’s steadfast growth can be attributed to its resilience amid the pandemic. It secured a notable presence in its home province of Quebec as well as in Ontario, Canada’s largest cannabis market. Cannara Biotech maintained an 8.7% market share in Quebec during this quarter, making it the fourth-largest licensed producer there. Meanwhile, its footprint in Ontario reached a 3.15% share, ranking ninth among all licensed producers in the province.
Achieving New Heights in Profitability and Cash Flow
Behind these promising figures lies a carefully planned strategic expansion and a commitment to enriching customer experiences through high-quality cannabis products that stand out. Notably, the company has achieved a 206% year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), reaching CA$5.2 million in Q1 2024. Simultaneously, Cannara Biotech saw its free cash flow surge by 145% compared to the same period last year, totaling CA$4.9 million.
Impressive Facilities and Capacity Expansion
Key to Cannara Biotech’s growth is its extensive cultivation capacity. The company owns two sizable facilities in Quebec that span more than 1.65 million square feet and boast an annual potential output of up to 100,000 kilograms. These state-of-the-art premises enable Cannara Biotech to consistently deliver innovative and sought-after cannabis products while increasing its market penetration across Canada’s key markets.
Taking On The Future Head-On
As Cannara Biotech continues to break new ground with its ongoing expansion strategy, it sends a clear message to its competitors: adaptability and commitment to excellence are vital elements for growth and survival in the constantly evolving cannabis industry.
