Columbia Care Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE), August 14, 2023–Columbia Care Inc. (NEO: CCHW) (OTCQX: CCHWF) (FSE: 3LP) (“Columbia Care” or the “Company”), one of the largest and most experienced cultivators, manufacturers and retailers of cannabis products in the U.S., today reported its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. All financial information presented in this release is in U.S. GAAP and in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Second Quarter 2023 U.S. GAAP Financial Highlights (in $ thousands, excl. margin items):

“Our second quarter results were solid, as we achieved more than $129 million in revenue, representing 4% sequential growth, confirming that we have kept our foot on the accelerator over the past 16 months. The financial impact of the measures we have taken to optimize our outstanding footprint and right-size operations are leading to increased profitability, with an 11% increase in gross profit over the first quarter and Adjusted EBITDA¹ increasing 24% sequentially to over $20 million. We continue to focus on generating positive cash flow. Growing markets on the east coast fueled our sequential topline growth, counterbalancing further price compression in certain markets such as Florida, Illinois, and Massachusetts. We continued to reduce costs in the quarter, having now eliminated over $38 million, net, in annual expense, as we prioritize cash flow generation. We have announced the initial steps to manage our balance sheet in collaboration with our bondholders and are actively reviewing and considering additional refinancing alternatives. To enhance liquidity and improve operating efficiency, we have continued divesting non-core assets and pursuing commercial mortgages on eligible properties. Our decision to prioritize markets that are driving profitability and growth, and continue our commitment to the diversification of our revenue base, was reflected by continued store openings in Virginia, the launch of adult-use sales in our fully integrated Maryland market on July 1, targeted retail expansion in New Jersey, and the launch of enhanced manufacturing and cultivation capabilities in Ohio, Colorado, West Virginia and New York,” said Nicholas Vita, CEO of Columbia Care.

We believe our best days are ahead of us. The team is energized, incentivized, and aligned with shareholder interests. As we turn our attention to the next 12 months, the operational leverage created by the steps we have already initiated to reduce corporate SG&A, reduce leverage, enhance cash flow from operations and drive innovation through technology and product/brand development will continue in the second half of 2023. We are excited to re-introduce you to Columbia Care and are confident in the future of the Company.

Nicholas Vita, CEO of Columbia Care
