MariMed Reports Second Quarter 2024 Earnings

C.MRMD

NORWOOD, Mass., Aug. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MariMed Inc. (“MariMed” or the “Company”) (CSE: MRMD) (OTCQX: MRMD), a leading multi-state cannabis operator focused on improving lives every day, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“With the first half of the year in the books, I’m pleased to say we remain on track to deliver our 2024 financial targets,” said Jon Levine, Chief Executive Officer. “Revenue growth in the second quarter of 2024 was very strong both year-over-year and sequentially, led by another tremendous quarter for our wholesale business. Our retail business also turned the corner, with a 24% increase in transactions year-over-year. While we continue to navigate the growth phase of our life cycle, and our results reflect a corresponding drag on margins and cash flow, we are pleased that we are already seeing margin improvements, particularly in our Illinois dispensaries. We are highly confident we will realize margin expansion and increased cash flow long-term as our new assets deliver their full revenue potential.”

CONFERENCE CALL
MariMed management will host a conference call on Thursday, August 8, 2024 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern time, to discuss these results. The conference call may be accessed through MariMed’s Investor Relations website, or by clicking the following link: https://app.webinar.net/bWgXr1bNZB4.

SECOND QUARTER 2024 OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

During the second quarter, the Company announced the following developments in the implementation of its strategic growth plan:

  • April 9: MariMed announced closing the acquisition of an adult-use dispensary in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. This marks the second adult-use dispensary the Company owns in Maryland, and will commence retail sales upon receiving regulatory approvals, likely in 2024.
  • April 10: MariMed announced a partnership with two iconic Boston music venues, MGM Music Hall Fenway and Citizens House of Blues Boston. This groundbreaking partnership positions Nature’s Heritage as the exclusive cannabis sponsor at each venue. The brand will receive over one million consumer impressions resulting from onsite fan experiences, in-venue advertising, and digital advertising.
  • April 11: MariMed announced closing the acquisition of Thrive Dispensary in Casey, Illinois. The approval of the license transfer by the Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation, and subsequent closing of the acquisition, allowed MariMed to fully consolidate the financial results of this dispensary, which had previously been operated under a Managed Services Agreement.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company announced the following further developments:

  • July 2: MariMed announced some operational and regulatory updates including:
    • Commencing adult-use sales at its Quincy, Massachusetts dispensary.
    • Receiving a provisional dual-license for its Tiffin, Ohio dispensary, which is required to commence adult-use sales, likely in 2024.
  • July 22: MariMed announced it commenced growing operations in its newly expanded cultivation facility in Hagerstown, MD. The new expansion should lead to a 100% increase in its flower yield, making MariMed one of the largest suppliers of flower in Maryland. The Company expects the first harvest to be on shelves throughout the state in the fourth quarter of 2024.
  • August 7: MariMed announced it had appointed Mario Pinho as the Company's Chief Financial Officer, effective August 9, 2024. Mr. Pinho is a CPA and finance executive with nearly 25 years of experience leading global organizations through various stages of dynamic growth. Most recently, he was CFO for the U.S. division of Rakuten, the global Internet Services, FinTech, and Mobile company. He led a team of 40 individuals across the globe in Financial Planning & Analysis, accounting, tax, procurement, and treasury; partnering with the CEO and senior leadership on M&A and other financial transactions; and leading the implementation of various systems and process improvements.

2024 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

MariMed's full year 2024 financial targets are based on organic growth of its existing operating assets and do not include new revenue-generating projects requiring regulatory approvals. The Company believes this conservative approach to offering financial targets allows investors and analysts to focus on key operating milestones versus discussions around issues outside the Company's control. As such, the Company's full year 2024 financial targets remain at:

  • Revenue growth of 5% to 7%;
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA growth of 0% to 2%;
  • Capital expenditures of $10 million.

DISCUSSION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

MariMed’s management uses several different financial measures, both GAAP and non-GAAP, in analyzing and assessing the overall performance of its business, making operating decisions, and planning and forecasting future periods. The Company has provided in this release several non-GAAP financial measures: Non-GAAP Gross margin, Non-GAAP Net income (loss), Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin, as supplements to Revenue, Gross margin, Net income (loss) and other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in reviewing and assessing the performance of the Company, and when planning and forecasting future periods, as they provide meaningful operating results by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of its operating business performance. In addition, the Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods and for financial and operational decision-making. The presentation of these non-GAAP measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Management believes that investors and analysts benefit from considering non-GAAP financial measures in assessing the Company’s financial results and its ongoing business, as it allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business. In particular, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is used by many investors and analysts themselves, along with other metrics, to compare financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.

As there are no standardized methods of calculating non-GAAP financial measures, the Company’s calculations may differ from those used by analysts, investors and other companies, even those within the cannabis industry, and therefore may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by others.

Management defines non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from operations, determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding the following items:

  • depreciation of fixed assets;
  • amortization of acquired intangible assets;
  • Impairment or write-downs of intangible assets;
  • stock-based compensation;
  • legal settlements; and
  • acquisition-related and other expenses.
