Cronos Touts Uptick In Revenue, Appoints New CEO
Cronos Group Inc. CRON CRON revealed Thursday its consolidated net revenue for the third quarter amounted to approximately $11.4 million. That's up by $5.6 million or 96% on a yearly basis.
For the nine months ended Sept. 30, net revenue was $29.7 million. That's an 80% year-over-year increase.
The revenue increase can be attributed to the growth in the adult-use Canadian cannabis market, incorporation of the Redwood acquisition in the company's financial results, and contributions from the Israeli medical cannabis market.
The Toronto-based company opted to purchase four of Redwood Holding Group's subsidiaries last year for $300 million.
Cronos also reported a gross loss of $1.5 million in the quarter, down by 51% compared to the same period last year.
In addition, its operating loss was $41.2 million, up by 31% year-over-year.
In September, the company welcomed consumer goods industry veteran Kurt Schmidt as its new CEO, replacing Mike Gorenstein, who was appointed to Executive Chairman.
"We look forward to continuing to launch innovative cannabinoid products in Canada and to expand our portfolio of U.S. hemp-derived CBD brands," Schmidt disclosed.
Meantime, last month, the company launched a new CBD skincare brand dubbed Happy Dance. The brand is co-founded with Kristen Bell, an actress, and New York Times best-selling author.
