During the quarter, KushCo had a net loss on a GAAP basis, of around $44.4 million or 40 cents per share, which compares to a net loss of $8.9 million or 10 cents per share in the corresponding quarter of 2019.

KushCo also disclosed an adjusted EBITDA loss of $14.8 million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $6.7 million in the prior year period. Higher adjusted EBITDA loss, was mainly because of its $9.1 million bad debt expense, the company noted, adding this should only be a one-time expense.

At the end of the second quarter, on Feb. 29, the company had around $11.4 million in cash, which compares to $3.9 million at the end of August 2019.

Nick Kovacevich, KushCo's Co-founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated that even though the company has experienced the decrease in net revenue there were some other positive achievements, such as “continued robust sequential growth in many of our key markets, such as Illinois, Michigan, Massachusetts, and Canada, where sales in those regions nearly doubled or tripled quarter-over-quarter.”
