Avicanna's CEO Touts Q3 As 'Most Successful Quarter To Date' As It Posts Record Results, Expands Into 12th International Market

CBD-focused biopharmaceutical company Avicanna Inc. AVCN AVCNF (FSE:0NN) reported its third-quarter financial results Friday, revealing a gross revenue increase of 24% sequentially and 260% compared to the first three months of 2021 to roughly CA$1,007,033 ($987,967).

The reported revenue represents cannabis-only sales, with the majority being new or recurring orders from proprietary finished products in the Canadian medical and adult-use channels, the Toronto-based company said.

Loss per share for the nine months ended September 31, 2021, was negative CA$0.29 per share, compared with negative CA$0.82 per share for the nine months ending September 30, 2020, representing an improvement of 64% from the same period in the previous year.

In addition, Avicanna also reported delivering 27,041 units of its cannabis 2.0 products branded as RHO Phyto and Pura Earth, compared to 16,767 units in the second and 8,855 units in the first quarter of 2021, up by 61% sequentially and 205% over the first three months of 2021.

As of September 31, the company had a total of 25 product listings across medical and adult-use channels in Canada, compared to 17 in the second quarter and 6 in the first quarter of 2021, representing a 96% sequential growth.
