LAS VEGAS, Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Planet 13 Holdings Inc. (CSE: PLTH) (OTCQX: PLNH) (“Planet 13” or the “Company”), a leading vertically-integrated multi-state cannabis company, today announced its financial results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024. Planet 13’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

“Q2 was an exciting period for Planet 13, marked by strong financial performance and execution of our growth initiatives. We closed the transformational acquisition in Florida and opened our completely unique DAZED! consumption lounge. In addition to consolidating results in Florida, we generated strong sequential organic revenue growth, better margins, and increased cash flow across our operations,” said Larry Scheffler, co-CEO of Planet 13.

“As we look to the latter half of 2024, we're poised for continued strength as we execute our exciting multi-year growth plan. We're making significant progress on expanding our cultivation and retail network in Florida to continue the trend of sequential growth in that state. Beyond Florida, we are pushing the envelope in innovation as an entertainment and lifestyle-focused cannabis brand. Our SuperStore, Dazed! lounge and lifestyle brand are key to building a deeper connection with Planet 13 fans, and we anticipate even greater engagement and growth in the future,” said Bob Groesbeck, co-CEO of Planet 13.

Financial Highlights – Q2 – 2024

Operating Results

All comparisons below are to the quarter ended June 30, 2023, unless otherwise noted

Revenue was $31.1 million as compared to $25.8 million, an increase of 20.3%. The increase in sales was driven by a month and a half of revenue from Florida as well as strong sales at the Planet 13 SuperStore and Illinois neighborhood store.
Gross profit was $15.8 million or 50.9% as compared to $11.9 million or 46.0%. The improvement in gross margin was driven by a lower cost of cultivation through full utilization of cultivation facilities and better yields, along with a higher portion of sales from owned brands.
Total expenses were $19.4 million as compared to $15.4 million, an increase of 26.0%. Absolute expenses grew with the consolidation of Florida.
Net loss of $8.1 million as compared to a net loss of $4.6 million.
Adjusted EBITDA of $3.2 million as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $2.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA was higher due to better gross margin performance, strong cost control and increased operating leverage.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

There are financial measures included in this press release that are not in accordance with GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures and metrics presented by other publicly traded companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company includes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because it believes certain investors use these measures and metrics as a means of assessing financial performance. EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before share-based compensation, the change in fair value of warrants and one-time non-recurring expenses.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods presented:
