La Vida Verde Grows Revenue by 44.7% In Q2 2019
DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2019 / International Cannabrands Inc. (CSE: JUJU) (the “Company“) is pleased to announce that its 51% subsidiary La Vida Verde, Inc., (“LVV”), expects to record a 44.7% growth in Q2 revenue over Q1 of this year.
For Q2 of 2019, LVV recorded approximately $1.79 million in revenue, a $552 thousand increase over Q1 2019. This is a 5.4% decrease over Q2 2018, net of the prior year loss of a major customer no longer in business in California. All figures are unaudited and based on Management’s review of LVV’s results as determined as at the date hereof.
Selected financial information for LVV for the three months ended June 30, 2019 (all of which has been prepared by LVV’s management), includes the following: Revenue of $1,786,000; Net Income of $38,000; Total Assets of $2,946,000 and Total Liabilities of $204,000.
After replacing an underperforming distributor in Q1, LVV brought product back in-house in early April. Through the subsequent expansion of their in-house sales efforts, the team was able to outperform the previous quarter and expects to see further growth as the year continues.
“We are tremendously pleased with La Vida Verde’s strong performance, and we anticipate they’ll continue to increase market share in existing and new territories within California,” shared Steve Gormley, CEO of the Company.
In addition to an investment in in-house sales and marketing, LVV has also expanded its reach through a delivery partnership with Driven (see press release dated March 28, 2019), a distribution partnership with Nabis (see press release dated May 6, 2019), a sales agreement with Bettie Janes (see press release dated June 25, 2019) and the expansion of supply and distribution into Nevada through the agreement with Flower One (see press release dated July 11, 2019).
Bryce Berryessa, President of La Vida Verde commented: “By leveraging these outstanding partners alongside LVV’s team, we’re looking to establish a powerful sales and distribution engine servicing the entire state of California. We look forward to further expanding our footprint and getting our family of products into the hands of new customers.”
Steve Gormley commented: “Traditional operating lines are just not available to junior companies and particularly those in the cannabis space. This facility allows the Company to smooth out its cash flow and back stop its operations if needed, while we navigate our early design. We need to employ all the tools we can to ensure the success and growth of the Company, and we feel the team we have chosen in Sea Otter is first class.”
