The company's net loss per share widened from 2 cents in the first quarter to 5 cents.

The gross margin remained unchanged at 40%. 

Why It's Important

Curaleaf struck a number of deals during the second quarter.

It agreed to acquire U.S. cannabis wholesale brand Select.

The company also made two acquisitions in Arizona: Glendale Greenhouse and Phytotherapeutics Management.

It also acquired exclusive rights to operate Absolute Healthcare's Emerald dispensary in Gilbert, Arizona. 

In addition, Curaleaf acquired the option to buy cannabis and cultivation licenses and a facility in Ohio from Ohio Grown Therapies. 

What's Next

The stock was up 0.66% at $6.40 at the close Tuesday.
