VIDEO – Hollister $HOLL.ca $HSTRF Reports Record Q3 Revenues With $12.5M From 360+ Dispensaries In California and Arizona $CRON $GTBIF $INDS $META.ca $FAF.ca $WEED.ca

Hollister Biosciences (HOLL:CSE) is a multi-state operator with multiple, high-quality products that are now carried in 280 of California’s 600 dispensaries, where it also claims California’s #1 hash infused pre-roll “HashBone” … and if that is all they had you would have the makings of a great small cap cannabis company. 

But there is more …. way more. 

Venom Extracts is their 100% owned subsidiary that is absolutely dominating the state of Arizona.  More than just lip service:

  • Venom just surpassed $30,000,000 (MILLION) in revenue YEAR TO DATE
  • Venom Extracts is one of Arizona’s premier extract brands 
  • One of the state’s largest producers of medical cannabis distillate and related products
  • The products are award winning
  • ….. And it is run by the absolute coolest guy in small cap Cannabis – Jake Cohen  

THE NUMBERS SAY IT ALL 

1.  RECORD Q3 REVENUE          $12.5M 

2.  CRAZY REVENUE GROWTH    5,200%

3.  RECORD EBITDA                 $1.265M (vs a loss of $362,000) In case you’re wondering if this was a fluke quarter, this is what Q2 looked like: 

  • RECORD REVENUE of $US 8.47M, compared to $200,000 last year and representing an increase of 4,170%
  • NET INCOME of $300,000, compared to a loss of $2.1M, representing a turnaround of $2.4M over last year 

HOLLISTER HEADED TOWARDS $50,000,000 REVENUE? 

If you’re paying attention, HOLL is achieving enormous growth both year over year and sequentially.  If we extrapolate the latest Q3 numbers, Hollister is on a $50,000,000 annualized revenue run rate assuming no further growth. 

But there is more. 

The State of Arizona just approved recreational cannabis in Arizona.  This is a potential windfall for Venom given the fact its brand, reputation and dispensary penetration from its award winning medical cannabis is about as good as it gets.  How good is Hollister now? 

How good does it get?

OAKLAND, Calif. and TORONTO, Nov. 6, 2020 /CNW/ – Harborside Inc. (“Harborside”, or the “Company”) (CSE: HBOR), (OTCQX: HBORF), a California-focused, vertically-integrated cannabis enterprise, announced today that it is engaging in a substantial upgrade of one of its approximately 45,000 square foot greenhouses at its 47-acre integrated production campus in Salinas, California (the “Salinas Facility”).

The planned upgrades include, among other things, the installation of blackout curtains and supplemental LED grow lights in the greenhouse. Following the successful completion of these upgrades, on an annualized basis. the Company expects an approximately 50% increase in production from this greenhouse, an expected approximately 10% increase in bulk wholesale revenue capacity, and an approximately 7% increase in the total productive capacity of the Salinas Facility. The project is expected to be completed within the first quarter of 2021 and the Company expects that the total cost of the updates will be fully recouped within the first twelve months of operation following completion of the project.

In addition, the Company announced today that its in-house brand, Harborside Farms, a highly recognized, customer-centric product line, will commence sales of clones grown at its Salinas Facility at all Harborside branded locations, including Desert Hot Springs. On a year-over-year basis, sales of Harborside Farms products have grown by 229% at Harborside’s iconic dispensaries capturing 42% of its total retail flower sales through the end of the third quarter of 2020, demonstrating continuing strength and customer loyalty to one of its flagship brands.

“We have carved out a strong reputation for supplying high-quality cannabis products to the growing California market and these upgrades are a crucial investment that will fuel our growth heading into 2021,” said Peter Bilodeau, Interim CEO and Chairman of Harborside. “Leveraging the strength of our Salinas facility, we’re thrilled to be officially commencing sales of clones that are grown at our farm and only available at our stores immediately. This new in-house product category was developed utilizing sustainable cultivation techniques to provide discerning consumers with access to locally grown, high-quality cannabis.”

The Company’s clone initiative aims to capitalize on these trends and the continued high-quality production from its Salinas Facility, and will underscore the single-source, local nature of the Harborside Farms brand, as well as its emphasis on sustainable cultivation practices. The initiative will also continue to enhance the Company’s retail gross margins by adding an additional in-house product category sourced internally from its Salinas Facility.

At its retail dispensaries, clones (inclusive of seeds and seedlings) are expected to comprise approximately 5% of the Company’s total annual retail sales, or approximately $2M in annual net retail revenue in 2020. The Company’s average gross margin in this category is approximately 52% through the end of the third quarter. The Company anticipates Harborside Farms clones capturing at least 50% of total clone sales throughout the course of 2021, resulting in total sales of approximately $1M, with estimated gross margins as high as 90%. The Company expects average gross margins across its entire clones category to increase to approximately 70% during 2021 as a result of this initiative, providing an approximate 18% improvement over its expected annual average gross margin in this category as compared to 2020.
