The Valens Company Inc. (TSX:VLNS) (NASDAQ:VLNS), a leading manufacturer of cannabis products, reported its first-quarter fiscal year 2022 financial results late on Wednesday.
Highlights
“The results from the first quarter demonstrate that Valens’ underlying business has passed an inflection point. This performance reinforces the importance of Valens' now diversified business lines across provincial sales, B2B LP sales, and Green Roads sales (...) allowing us to deliver more sustainable growth. We delivered another quarter of strong provincial sales as we continue to grow our recreational market share, with the launch of Versus and Contraband,” said Tyler Robson, CEO, co-founder, and chair of The Valens Company. “Our Green Roads US CBD business saw a modest decline in revenue primarily due to normal seasonal trends, with December being historically its slowest month.”
“We took the opportunity to exit some higher-priced inventory through the B2B channel. These factors resulted in lower gross margins in the quarter. It was also encouraging to see gross margin improvements in provincial sales despite significant retail price compression and increases in supply chain costs in the quarter,” concluded the CEO.
“We implemented a series of Integration Initiatives aimed at driving efficiencies throughout the organization and right-sizing our cost structure to ensure we remain nimble and aggressive in a competitive market. With these initiatives now firmly underway and following our recent CDN$32.3 million financing we believe we have the branded product portfolio, manufacturing capabilities, and balance sheet strength to pursue our key strategic objectives in 2022,” added Jeff Fallows, Valens Company president in a press release.
