Avicanna Inc. AVCN AVCNF 0NN, the cannabinoids-focused biopharmaceutical company reported its year-end 2023 results and audited financial statements on Tuesday.
The Canadian company reported CA$16.8 million ($12.3 million) in total revenue, up by 314% year-over-year. Avicanna attributed the surge in revenue to the acquisition of Medical Cannabis by Shoppers from Shoppers Drug Mart and the launch of MyMedi.ca.

Aras Azadian, the company's CEO, agrees.
"2023 was a tremendous year for Avicanna where we solidified our leadership position in the Canadian medical cannabis sector through our proprietary products and the launch of MyMedi.ca," he said. "We have successfully demonstrated the scalability of our revenues and made significant improvements in our fundamentals while advancing all our business pillars."
Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Canada, Avicanna has been carving a unique place within the medical and pharmaceutical side of the industry at an international level.
Azadian told Beniznga's Javier Hasse at one of Benzinga’s previous events that "the science" is what makes Avicanna different from regular cannabis companies. Avicanna's mission is to produce efficacious products, Azadian explained. Once regulatory hurdles pass, the brand's depth and breadth of product, as well as reach will better be recognized by investors.
