California cannabis producer Blüm Holdings Inc. (OTCQB:BLMH) announced on Tuesday financial results for the full year and fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2023.
The company reported a 36% year-over-year drop in revenue to $33.2 million, due to a "strategic slowdown in its underperforming distribution segment." However, the company's CFO Patty Chan said the decrease in gross margin was only $0.5 million on a revenue decrease of $18.8 million.
"2023 was a truly transformative year for Blüm Holdings during which the Company focused on disposing nearly all the company's underperforming assets and significantly reducing selling, general, and administrative expenses while simultaneously realigning our strategic focus to increasing our gross margin from 35% in 2022 to 53% in 2023," Chan said.
During the fourth quarter the company completed the exit of its unprofitable cultivation facility in Northern California.
Subsequent to the quarter, Blüm Holdings, Inc. became a parent company of Unrivaled Brands, Inc. In January, Unrivaled Brands, said it had wrapped up its previously announced strategic reorganization.
As another earnings season wraps up, the financial performance of top cannabis operators nationwide will surely be one of the hot topics at this week's Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference in Florida.
