KINGSVILLE, ON, July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – Greenway Greenhouse Cannabis Corporation (CSE: GWAY) (OTCQB: GWAYF) (“Greenway” or the “Company”), a cultivator of high-quality greenhouse cannabis for the Canadian market, today reported its audited annual financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024.
The Company is pleased to report the following results for the year ended March 31, 2024. All amounts expressed in this press release refer to Canadian dollars:
- Total grams or grams equivalent sold during the year of 5,548,692, a 33% increase from the previous fiscal year
- Net revenue of $5,230,194 for the year, a decrease of 7% from the prior year.
- Fourth quarter net revenue of $1,482,194, an increase of 9% from the same period in the prior fiscal year
- For the fiscal year, the Company averaged $0.74 per gram of cash costs, within the target of management’s $0.75 expected annual cash cost per gram.
- A weighted average cash cost per gram of $0.60 of finished goods inventory on hand as at March 31, 2024
- Liabilities as at March 31, 2024 consist of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,390,240, a 59% decrease from March 31, 2023
- Closed a non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $3,500,000
- Launched first consumer products into the Ontario marketplace
“Over the course of the last fiscal year, the cannabis sector has faced intense competition and substantial price compression amid difficult market conditions Our team began to slowly see prices rebound over the course of the year, and I am happy to report that our revenue in Q4 was up 9% from the previous year. With the total Canadian market continuing to evolve, we are confident that Greenway is one of the best positioned companies in the cannabis sector,” said Jamie D’Alimonte, CEO of Greenway. “This year, we’ve achieved record sales volumes, dramatically reduced liabilities, launched our first consumer brands in Ontario, completed a $3.5m private placement, and subsequent to our year end received the accreditation necessary to begin exporting Greenway cannabis internationally. Our team has been working to open up new avenues for our products, and to diversify our revenue. The next steps for our team is to continue to increase the value we get from every gram we produce, and to continue to expand into our cultivation area to meet our ever-increasing demand.”
“As we increase our sales and production volumes, it is essential for Greenway to have access to multiple sales channels, which is why we have expanded into the international cannabis, and domestic consumer markets. Currently we are processing our first cannabis destined for international sale. Both of these new avenues come with an increased revenue per gram, and help make Greenway less reliant on domestic wholesale price fluctuations,” said Carl Mastronardi, President of Greenway. “Our leadership team’s decades of experience in produce helps us understand that being a low-cost producer of a consistently high-quality product is what separates who is here today, and who will be here going forward. Many of our competitors may not be able to survive, because they lack the low cost of production, quality and ability to pivot that we have. We anticipate a return to stronger pricing and demand as competitors unable to keep up exit the market, something we started to experience and that can be seen in our Q4 results. We remain committed to achieving profitable growth by delivering high-quality, unique products to Canadians through our wholesale and branded cannabis programs.”
