Kelowna, British Columbia and Las Vegas, Nevada--(Newsfile Corp. - November 22, 2021) - Fiore Cannabis (CSE: FIOR) (OTCQB: FIORF) ("Fiore" or the "Company"), a licensed multi-state cannabis cultivator, producer and retailer, today provided guidance on its revenue forecast for the third quarter of 2021 based on preliminary results. The Company also shared additional corporate updates.
For the three-month period ending September 30, 2021:
- Revenue is anticipated to be approximately $1,106,000 compared with $550,000 for the same period in 2020 and compared with $605,000 in the second quarter of 2021.
- Gross profit is anticipated to be approximately $297,000 compared with $158,000 for the same period in 2020 and compared with $337,000 in the second quarter of 2021.
The preliminary estimated financial results for third quarter 2021 are subject to the completion of the Company's financial closing procedures. Fiore will provide investors with full financial results as part of its Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for the third quarter of 2021 which are expected to be issued the week of November 29, 2021.
The Company will follow up the release of its financial results with a Zoom call to review the performance along with its corporate presentation on Monday, December 6, 2021. This call will be hosted at 9:00 am Pacific Time by Fiore CEO Erik Anderson and will include a question and answer period.
"We are looking forward to providing investors and those interested in the company with additional detail on our financial results and operating highlights. This includes the ongoing activity at the Apex cultivation and production facility in Las Vegas where we have our flower production working optimally and have recently started producing concentrates from our Diamante Labs extraction operation. We also have a partner company on the Apex site working towards starting up its own growing operations parallel to ours by early 2022," said Erik Anderson, President and CEO of Fiore Cannabis.
The Company's partnership with Allied Corp. (OTCQB: ALID) ("Allied"), which has an option to purchase a cannabis cultivation licence for the Apex site from Fiore upon U.S. federal legalization, has been moving ahead efficiently as the companies have already broken ground at the Apex site to pour the pad for Allied's 9,000 square feet of modular cubes. Allied has the option to buy the licence from Fiore for US$1.5 million as per an agreement signed earlier this year. Fiore will be managing the selection of cannabis strains as well as the operation for Allied once it begins operating.
Anderson noted that Fiore is very optimistic about how the second half of the year is shaping up for its business in Nevada and California and the impact on its financial performance.
"In Nevada, and specifically in Las Vegas, we see the market being very strong which has generated recent M&A activity in the cannabis space. U.S. federal legalization efforts being put forward now by both parties in Congress point towards likely progress and advances in the coming months. We are keeping our focus for the near term on cultivating Fiore's top-quality cannabis products, adding concentrates to our product mix in Nevada, and delivering industry-leading product to our customers in Nevada and California."
