Management Commentary

"Greenlane, and our entire sector, faced a challenging year in 2022," said Craig Snyder, CEO of Greenlane. "As we did not perform up to the expected standards, we initiated and are executing an aggressive transformative strategy to actively put the business on a path to profitability. We have taken steps and will continue to do so to fulfill the three key areas of concentration we have set forth for the company - consistently demonstrate tangible proof points confirming management's commitment to profitability; enhance and grow our leading position as a product innovator and disruptor in our segment; and continue advancement and performance in developing our global omnichannel strategy online."

"Looking forward to 2023, we will continue to focus on a more efficient business model that is scalable, leverageable, and durable, combined with consistent margins. We have already seen a 5-10% growth in Q1-23 revenue compared to Q4-23. By prioritizing our product innovation, family of brands, and strategic partnerships, we will accelerate our growth and success. We have 23 proprietary launches on the horizon for this year from our house brands, which will help propel us during a uniquely innovative year. Our newest house brand, Groove, has already launched 13 new products, filling a consumer gap with simple, functional, and reliable products at a value price point. Our expanded global reach with strategic market distribution partners including in Latin America, Canada, Puerto Rico and Mexico enables us to reach consumers globally without the necessity of establishing operations in those locations, which is key to continue to scale our brands globally. With our innovative product development and growth strategy initiatives in place, we believe we have a strong trajectory for success in 2023."

Net sales were $137.1 million in FY 2022, compared to $166.1 million in FY 2021, a decrease of 17.4%. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in Consumer Goods segment of $62.0 million, or 56.3%, offset by an increase in the Industrial segment of $33.0 million or 59.0% due to the net sales contributed by our merger with KushCo, which have been included in our results of operations since August 31, 2021, which is the merger completion date.

Gross profit was $24.9 million, or 18.2% of net sales in 2022, compared to $33.9 million, or 20.4% of net sales in 2021. The decrease in gross profits is a result of the declining revenue.

As of December 31, 2022, cash totaled $12.2 million, and working capital was $41.0 million in comparison to working capital of $53.8 million as of December 31, 2021.


For The Year Ended December 31, %
($ in thousands)
2022 2021 Change
Consumer Goods
$ 48,134 $ 110,105 (56.3 ) %
Industrial Goods
88,951 55,955 59.0 %

Net sales for our Consumer Goods reporting segment decreased to $48.1 million, compared to $110.1 million in 2021. The decline in the Consumer Goods segment revenue is due to a major restructuring effort during fiscal year 2022 to increase profitability by focusing on in-house brands that have a higher margin profile and rationalizing third-party brand offerings that carry a lower margin profile while reducing operating cost as a % of revenue, selling our interest in the Vibes brand, and terminating or restructuring several third-party agreements, and rebalancing overall inventory levels.

Net sales for our Industrial Goods reporting segment increased to $89.0 million, compared to $56.0 million in 2021. The increase is directly related to net sales contributed by our merger with KushCo, which have been included in our results of operations since August 31, 2021, which is the merger completion date.

Q1-23 Revenue Guidance

  • Revenue for Q1-23 is expected to be between $23.0-24.0 million, which is a 5-10% growth rate over Q4-22
  • Strength is coming from the Consumer Goods segment, increasing greater than 10% versus the prior quarter

*Preliminary revenue results subject to change during final review. Assumes no material returns related to Q1-23 or previous quarters are received increasing revenue reserves.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

Greenlane discloses Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP performance measure because management believes this measure assists investors and analysts in assessing our overall operating performance and evaluating how well we are executing our business strategies. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA as alternatives to net loss, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as indicators of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:

  • Adjusted EBITDA does not include interest expense, which has been a necessary element of our costs, and income tax payments we may be required to make;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect equity-based compensation;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect other one-time expenses and income, including consulting costs related to the implementation of our ERP system and the reversal of an allowance against indemnification receivables associated with the EU VAT liability;
  • Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA do not account for these items, these measures have material limitations as indicators of operating performance. Accordingly, management does not view Adjusted Net Loss or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as substitutes for measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted SG&A

Adjusted SG&A is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure, which the Company calculates as total selling, general and administrative expenses less depreciation and amortization expense. The Company believes this measure is helpful to investors because it gives investors information about cash operating expenses.
