Unrivaled Brands Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results

SANTA ANA, Calif., Nov. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Unrivaled Brands, Inc. (OTCQB: UNRV) ("Unrivaled" or the "Company"), a cannabis company with operations throughout California, today reported financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Third Quarter 2023 Highlights

  • Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was $8.6 million with 94% of revenue from retail sales. Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was driven by our four retail stores and sales of our in-house cultivated flower and Korova-branded products.
  • Retail gross margin was 52% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses for quarter ended September 30, 2023 decreased by 7% compared to the previous quarter ended June 30, 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was $(1.2) million compared to the previous quarter of $(0.8) million.
  • For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company had a $1.3 million gain on investments and $1.5 million loss on disposal of assets. The Company also had $0.9 million of interest expense and $0.9 million of non-cash expense for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
  • In September 2023, the Company entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the outstanding litigation with Mystic Holdings, Inc. (“Mystic”) which confirmed the Company's ownership of 8,323,764 shares of common stock and 8,332 shares of Series A preferred stock in Mystic. The Company recorded an unrealized gain on investment of $1.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
  • As of September 30, 2023, the Company had 151 employees, a reduction from 169 employees a year ago.
  • Although industry trends have widely reported a further decline in the legal California cannabis marketplace overall, our Company’s retail stores were able to hold total sales transactions flat from the previous quarter and also realized an increase in total sales transactions by 7.9% from the first quarter of 2023.
  • The Company outperformed the broader California market with a revenue decline of 2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to a decrease in California cannabis retail revenue of 6% for the same period per market data tracked by Headset.

Patty Chan, Unrivaled’s Chief Financial Officer stated, “In Q3 2023, we maintained focus on our gross margin, achieving a retail gross margin of 52%. Despite the formidable challenges in the regulated cannabis market, we've proven resilient. We are operating in one of the most cutthroat markets in the United States, competing not just with the legal operators, but also the traditional market. As legislation begins to change, we anticipate the battle for market share to intensify further. Those who can adapt and excel today, will thrive in the future. We salute our fellow operators navigating this fiercely competitive landscape. We will remain committed to prioritizing customer retention and delivering an exceptional retail experience with high-quality, curated products. We will continue to navigate the evolving cannabis landscape, particularly in in California, as we look to a fully federally legal market and ripe opportunities.”
