Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: GNLN), one of the largest global sellers of premium cannabis accessories and specialty vaporization products, reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020.
Third Quarter 2020 Highlights
● Net sales of the Company's Greenlane Brands grew approximately 65% to $5.6 million in Q3 2020 compared to $3.4 million in Q3 2019;
● Core revenue (defined as non-nicotine revenue) grew 36% to $32.3 million in Q3 2020, compared to $23.8 million in Q3 2019;
● Total revenue grew 10% to approximately $35.8 million in Q3 2020 compared to $32.4 million in Q2 2020;
● Excluding the impact of certain inventory adjustments which incurred in the quarter, gross profit would have been $7.3 million or 20.4% of net sales, a 610 basis point year over year improvement in gross profit percentage as compared to Q3 2019;
● Expanded management team through key hires to support Greenlane sales and marketing efforts in North America and Europe;
● Launched a first-of-its-kind line of responsibly sourced, precision-manufactured, pre-rolled cones made from organically-sourced paper exclusively processed in France and sealed with 100% natural Arabic gum;
● Obtained the exclusive right to expand the availability of Marley Naturals Accessories to specialty locations in Europe, Central and South America, and the Caribbean;
“During the third quarter, with the help of our new senior leadership team, we acted on several key initiatives related to our go forward category emphasis, organizational structure, and related staffing levels. Building on the success we've achieved in growing Greenlane brands and non-nicotine sales year over year by 65% and 36%, respectively, we've taken additional decisive steps to de-emphasize certain product lines, invest in our fastest growing and highest margin opportunities, and further reduced our headcount by 4.5%,” said Aaron LoCascio, Greenlane’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “While this has had an impact on our Q3 financials, we believe these decisions have positioned Greenlane to return to near-term profitability and long term success."
Mr. LoCascio added, "We are building a comprehensive suite of high-quality, Greenlane branded products which will enable us to capture more of the margin on each product we sell. At the same time, we continue to work very closely with our brand partners to launch innovative new products into the market leveraging our best-in-class global distribution platform. I remain very encouraged that we are on track to enter 2021 on a solid footing, returning to positive adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter as a result of the changes we have implemented.”
Juva Life Inc. (CSE: JUVA) (OTC: JUVAF), a premier California based multi-faceted life sciences company focused on the commercialization of Cannabis products and formulations, announced the commencement of trading its common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the ticker symbol “JUVA.” Additional information is being updated on the Company website at www.juvalife.com.
Juva Life Inc. USA, a California corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Juva Life Inc. (as of May 30, 2019) was originally incorporated in 2018 and represents the culmination of decades of concentrated effort in the cannabis sector. Juva Stockton Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Juva Life Inc., holds a Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) from the city of Stockton, California which, subject to certain conditions, permits the Company to cultivate, manufacture, distribute and deliver cannabis for the medical and recreational markets within the State. Juva Stockton successfully launched its delivery service from this location on the 16th of October 2020. Additionally, in January 2020, after a 2.5-year process, Precision Apothecary Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Juva Life Inc., now holds a CUP allowing for a Microbusiness operation in the City of Hayward, California. This permit allows Juva to cultivate, manufacture, distribute and operate a retail cannabis storefront and delivery business in that municipality. Concurrently, the Company’s Redwood City delivery location has been fully operational since February 2020 and has experienced double-digit growth month over month since commencement of operations.
Under the guidance of founder & CEO Doug Chloupek, the Juva Life team brings together over 20 years of extensive leadership experience in the cannabis sector. Their knowledge and experience provide operational oversight and understanding of the California cannabis market. The Company is comprised of six divisions: cultivation, research, manufacturing, distribution, retail, and delivery. Each division services specific vertical markets within a fully integrated framework under the guiding premise of commercially engaging the many ways cannabis can fundamentally improve individual quality of life.
Mr. Doug Chloupek, CEO and Founder of Juva Life Inc. states, “Our journey has been truly extraordinary to-date. We are extremely grateful to have completed an extraordinarily successful Regulation-A+ financing along with several traditional financings. These financings have provided us the cash on hand to execute our strategy while concurrently moving ahead with today’s public listing and access to an even broader investment community.

We sincerely value the participation of the investment community and have made it a key pillar and measure of our success to strategically build shareholder value as we forge ahead in this exciting and evolving industry sector.”

The Valens Company Inc. (TSX: VLNS) (OTCQX: VLNCF) announced the addition of SōRSE Clear, a stable, clear emulsion with a minimal sensory profile, to the SōRSE by Valens offering for CBD isolate product formats.
SōRSE Technology is a water-soluble emulsion technology designed for product developers to provide consumers with a more consistent cannabinoid experience with user-controlled dosing, demonstrated shelf-stability, and safe ingredients. The Valens Company has been leveraging this emulsion technology to transform cannabis extracts into water-soluble forms and to infuse beverages, edibles and topicals without a cannabis aroma and after-taste.
"As the exclusive partner for the development and custom manufacturing of best-in-class cannabis derivative products in Canada, having access to the highest quality cannabinoid emulsion technology is critically important," said Tyler Robson, Chief Executive Officer of The Valens Company. "We have made great strides revolutionizing many of our product lines with SōRSE by Valens, including more mature formats such as tinctures, and the addition of SōRSE Clear will only deepen our ability to innovate a diverse portfolio of products for the forthcoming 3.0 market."
SōRSE Clear is currently available in a liquid format and contains safe, vegan, allergen-free ingredients. The new emulsion offering features multiple benefits including stability, safety, improved sensory experience, homogeneity, and seamless integration. SōRSE Clear also complies with all the main safety and testing protocols, including Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and The Global Safety Food Initiative (GFSI).
Howard Lee, Chief Executive Officer of SōRSE, said, "We believe that SōRSE Clear is a game-changer for the cannabis industry and we have no doubt that The Valens Company will harness this technology to continue to formulate the most innovative, premium cannabis-infused products for Canadian consumers."
Lastly, on an unrelated note to cannabis we look at NeoPollard Interactive LLC who was “proud to announce its successful launch into the Canadian market through its new agreement with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission ("AGLC").
Contracted as the operator of AGLC's program, PlayAlberta.ca, NPi deployed its cutting-edge technology, a full suite of managed services, and its top performing game content on September 30, 2020.
"PlayAlberta.ca is another way AGLC is implementing its promise to generate revenues for the benefit of Albertans," said Alain Maisonneuve, President and CEO of AGLC. "AGLC is excited to work with NPi and apply their vast experience as we provide a regulated online gambling website that will offer players expanded entertainment options with integrated responsible gambling features and generate revenue to support valuable programs and services Albertans rely on every day."
What a sad day for Canada and more specifically Alberta in this case.
