Acreage Holdings, Inc. (OTC:ACRHF), a multi-state operator of cannabis cultivation and retailing facilities, announced its Q2 2024 earnings on Wednesday, revealing a mixed financial landscape marked by strategic expansions yet shadowed by a significant net loss and a revenue dip, down 33% year-over-year.
The company attributed the revenue decline primarily to liquidity constraints that affected inventory levels and sales. Despite these challenges, Acreage highlighted strategic growth initiatives and a robust restructuring plan poised to steer future profitability.
Acreage also experienced a gross margin improvement to 43% compared to 36% in the same period last year. However, constrained by credit issues and cash preservation needs, the company reported a stark decrease in adjusted EBITDA to $1.9 million, a significant drop from $6.8 million in Q2 2023.

Dennis Curran, CEO of Acreage, acknowledged the financial hurdles. “While our results in the first half of 2024 were constrained by credit challenges and the need to preserve cash, we’ve now recapitalized our business and expect our commercial activities in key markets, as well opening of the non‑medical market in Ohio, to significantly accelerate revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the remainder of the year.”
In addition, Acreage has been active in expanding its market reach, notably with legal recreational sales in Ohio where the cannabis market is estimated to hit $2.3 billion within a year. The move is expected to double the state's revenue by 2025 from approximately $50 million in 2023.
Despite the challenging quarter, Acreage is gearing up for a reaccelerated growth trajectory in core states including New Jersey, Illinois and Connecticut, supported by a recapitalization strategy and new product launches aimed at revitalizing its market presence.
Acreage Integration With Canopy
The quarter also saw Acreage advancing its acquisition by Canopy USA (NASDAQ:CGC), which is set to close in the first half of 2025. This acquisition is anticipated to further integrate Acreage into the broader Canopy ecosystem, enhancing collaborative opportunities and operational synergies.
