Year-to-date, gross revenue spiked 194% year-over-year to CA$25.04 million. This represents the company's 7th consecutive quarter of year-over-year net revenue growth.

  • Gross profit, excluding fair value adjustments, impairments and one-time items declined 8.6% sequentially due to lower quarterly revenues, offset by lower distillate costs.

  • Operating expenses were flat sequentially at CA$3 million versus the previous quarter, driven by higher marketing costs and lower sales commissions.

  • Adjusted EBITDA remained positive, declining sequentially in the third quarter to CA$0.17 million versus CA$0.54 million in the second quarter and a loss of CA$1.1 million in the same quarter of 2020, driven by lower sequential revenue versus the prior quarter, offset by lower distillate costs.

  • Adjusted EBITDA was positive at CA$0.22 million versus a loss of CA$3.25 million in the nine months last year.

"Indiva maintained leading market share in the edibles category in the third quarter, driven by new product introductions and organic growth of existing SKUs," Niel Marotta, president and CEO of Indiva said. "Looking forward to the fourth quarter of 2021, we expect to see sequential net revenue growth based on continued organic growth, the strength of purchase orders booked to date, and expected new SKU and product introductions."

The company expects sequential and year-over-year net revenue growth and continued margin improvement in the fourth quarter of 2021 as a result of new SKU and product introductions and improved operating efficiencies.

In the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first three months of fiscal 2022, Indiva intends to launch several new SKUs, including new Wana gummies and Wana Quick SKUs, as well as chewable fruit tablets dubbed Jewels.
