Management Commentary

Mark Adams, Jacksam’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our first quarter results, especially our purchase order and interest activity around our 710 Shark filing systems, 710 Captain capping systems, PreRoll-ER pre-roll and cone filling systems and cartridges. We continue to see increased demand for our automated equipment solutions across the cannabis and CBD industries.”

Adams, continued, “While revenue was up just slightly due to lower machine sales, we had record quarterly cartridge sales. Our ability to fulfill customer orders during the quarter was negatively impacted by the lockdown of major cities in China due to Covid-19, which caused shipping issues of systems from China to the U.S. Our continued focus on operation optimization and efficiency led to another decrease of operating expenses as a percentage of revenue.”

Adams, concluded, “We have a strong base having now recorded 6 consecutive quarters of $1.3 to 1.9 million revenue with quarterly operating performance ranging from a negative $0.4 million to a profitable $0.1 million. We believe our strategy of providing automated equipment to address manufacturing and processing bottlenecks of our customers and increasing our predictable recurring revenue has positioned us well to become the premier solution provider in the industry.”
