Sugarmade Issues Letter to Shareholders on Verticalization, Expansion and the Path Ahead in 2021

MONROVIA, Calif., Jan. 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via InvestorWire – Sugarmade, Inc. SGMD ("Sugarmade" or the "Company") is pleased to issue the following Letter to Shareholders:

Dear Valued Shareholder,

We would like to express our gratitude for your patience and commitment as we continue to steer Sugarmade into what we hope will be a leadership role in the rapidly growing cannabis marketplace as a vertically integrated farm-to-door solution for cannabis consumers.

2020 was a landmark year for Sugarmade as we established, through our capital and operational investment in Budcars, a cannabis delivery service, a distinct and increasingly vertical model for delivering top cannabis-based products to a growing marketplace. We believe this marketplace remains insufficiently supplied and inconsistently accessible for consumers who want more reliable quality and greater convenience.

To that end, we continue to work to expand our reach. We have experienced some delays in opening our new LA hubs, but we continue to work with the city and anticipate that the situation will be resolved in the near term. We also continue to work to widen our delivery reach overall.

In addition, we continue to verticalize our model, creating a full farm-to-door structure that expect to produce high-quality branded cannabis products positioned in a vertical in-house supply chain. We expect that this will provide Sugarmade with optimal margins. We believe that we will also be better able to make use of 280e tax deductions related to production once we have a more vertical structure in place.

With our vertical vision coming together, our advantageous brand development positioning, and an increasingly promising macro context, we are very excited about the year in front of us.

Once again, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all our stakeholders. Shareholder value is our number one priority, and we very much look forward to keeping you abreast of Company developments as we reach new milestones along the way.

Best Regards,

Jimmy Chan
Chief Executive Officer
