The company experienced a 7% reduction in revenue, totaling $5.5 million, compared to $5.8 million in the same period last year. Notably, it recorded a positive net income of $0.2 million, a significant improvement from the net loss of $3.0 million in the previous year’s first quarter. This turnaround is attributed to the profitable sale of their Ohio dispensary. Furthermore, gross margins saw a substantial increase to 37.4% in Q1 FY2024, up from 14.7% in Q1 FY2023.
In strategic moves, Body and Mind completed the sale of its Ohio dispensary for $8.2 million in cash, used to fully repay a $7.3 million senior secured debt. This repayment is expected to save the company approximately $1 million annually in interest payments.
The company also received a $2.0 million cash deposit for the sale of its Ohio processing operation and closed a transaction in Long Beach, resulting in the return of approximately 1% of its outstanding shares.
