Unrivaled Brands Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

SANTA ANA, Calif., May 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Unrivaled Brands, Inc. (OTCQB: UNRV) ("Unrivaled" or the "Company"), a cannabis company with operations throughout California, today reported financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

First Quarter 2023 Highlights

  • Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 remained consistent with the prior quarter at $8.7 million. Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was driven by our four retail stores and sales of our in-house cultivated flower and Korova-branded products.

  • While revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 remained consistent quarter-over-quarter, gross margin increased to 48% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 44% during the prior quarter ended December 31, 2022, and up from 31% from the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

  • Net income from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $0.4 million compared to previous quarter of $3.9 million.

  • EBITDA from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $2.9 million compared to previous quarter of $9.7 million.

  • For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company had a $3.0 million gain on extinguishment of debt and a $1.5 million gain on settlement of liabilities. The Company also had $1.0 million of interest expense and $1.4 million of non-cash expense for income taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

  • In February 2023, the Company held a grand re-opening for its Blüm San Leandro store and revenues continue to grow as we reconnect with customers.

  • During the fiscal first quarter, the Company entered into a binding term sheet to resolve outstanding litigation with People’s California, LLC, subject to final documentation, staying all pending litigation and restructuring debt. As a result, $15.0 million of debt related to the People’s acquisition was reclassified from current liabilities to long-term liabilities as of March 31, 2023.

  • During the fiscal first quarter, the Company entered into a binding settlement term sheet to settle approximately $3.3 million of indebtedness to certain noteholders of the Company.

  • Operationally, the Company implemented two new major operating systems that will enable Unrivaled to increase revenues and streamline operations:

    • All retail stores have now launched a branded customer loyalty and customer relationship management (“CRM”) solution from Alpine IQ. This tool will not only drive repeat customer visits, but also enable targeted customer outreach to tailor communications and promotions to specific customer segments; and

    • The cloud-based Acumatica ERP (enterprise resource planning) system is now the Company’s system of record for all financial workflows and reporting. The Company is in the process of bringing cultivation and distribution activities online to add further transparency across the organization.

  • The Company made additional investments at its Hegenberger cultivation facility to substantially improve the quality and competitiveness of Unrivaled’s Korova-branded products.

  • As of March 31, 2023, the Company had 153 employees, a reduction from 185 employees a year ago.

Patty Chan, Unrivaled’s Interim Chief Financial Officer stated, “Q1 has been a testament to our unwavering commitment to progress. Our team has achieved two consecutive quarters of net income and positive EBITDA, despite the recessionary environment. We have remained steadfast in our pursuit of growth and success, and we are pleased to report that our efforts have paid off. Our continuous progress is a reflection of our team's hard work and dedication, and we are excited to build on this momentum and explore opportunity as we move forward."

Tracy McCourt, Unrivaled’s Chief Revenue Officer stated, “We have already seen substantial positive impact from the launch of our loyalty program. Not only are customers more engaged with our stores and promotional programs, it has increased the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and enabled us to re-engage with targeted customer segments who may have drifted away over time. Knowing and speaking directly to our customers about how we can uniquely meet their needs is a key growth strategy for Unrivaled.”
