KIRKLAND, Wash., Nov. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GrowLife, Inc. (OTC: PHOT) (“GrowLife” or the “Company”), one of the nation’s most recognized indoor cultivation product and service providers, today announced financial results for the period ending September 30, 2019. The company experienced growth over last year, showing an 141% increase in revenue over Q3 2018, from $1.0 million to over $2.3 million in Q3 2019. Additionally, the company continued to make significant progress in improving profitability, reporting $746,000 in gross profit for the three month period ending September 30, 2019, a 1,256% increase over the same period last year. This was due to a major shift in profit margins, which increased to 32.4% in Q3 2019 compared to just 5.8% in Q3 2018.
GrowLife CEO Marco Hegyi stated “In our toughest seasonal quarter, I see Q3 as a good quarter for GrowLife for three reasons: First, we achieved our highest revenues of the year so far by growing over 141% over last year same period. The summer quarter is usually challenging for GrowLife but demand for both GrowLife and EZ CLONE products remains strong. Second, gross margins remain strong at over 32.4% where in the three quarters of 2019 we generated almost three times as much gross margin dollars as we have in all of the last three years combined. We are not stopping there. We eliminated low performing business areas such as retail hydroponics and flooring, this is expected to and lower our monthly spending by up to $100,000 per month. And three, we are utilizing the increased gross margin and savings to invest in our announced plans for 2020 of providing hemp CBD clones under the EZ CLONE brand are intended to serve the high-demand CBD market. We believe this may lead to even greater growth for the Company.”
